At present, the youth oriented "action sports" lifestyle-clothing market (surf/skate/snow) is led by labels such as "Quiksilver" of Huntington Beach, California, representing in excess of $1 billion in annual sales. Also, "O'Neill Sportswear", "Rip Curl", "Lost", "Billabong", "Volcom", and numerous other Orange County, California-based clothing companies service this market and can be considered competition for our new brands. We believe that teens and young adults are looking for something new and trendy to identify with, purchase, and wear.



To counter this trend and help regain our lost dollar volume in this area we will continue our existing strategy of marketing directly to movie and television productions before they begin filming locally and send units out of town on location. Our strategy of dealing directly with producers, wardrobe personnel, and talent is beginning to pay off with recent orders from major films such as "Superman Returns" and the recently released "American Gangster" starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Any new movies or TV programs to add?



While corporate clients currently account for less than fifteen percent (15%) of our business, we continue to focus on growing this area of our business over the next year with the addition of in-house salespeople. Also, the addition of new silk screening equipment has given us the capability to accept and produce large orders of promotional t-shirts and related items for corporate programs through outside sales and advertising organizations. Our salespeople are now attempting to solicit business to our existing client base via telephone and Internet as well as to potential new customers through the same means as well as through print advertising via mailing and placement in trade publications. We are committed to making this new division profitable and more qualified labor has been retained to operate the new equipment as needed. Second and third manufacturing shifts can be added as growth requires. We have assigned two in-house clerical persons to service new inquiries and added accounts, as well as order finished goods for embellishment and shipping. Current production capacity is adequate to handle the anticipated increased volume. No other major capital expenditures are anticipated at this time.
