Harvey Grossblatt, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are starting to see
improvement in our domestic operations with the 26% sales increase in the fourth quarter. However, our Hong Kong Joint
Venture continues to lose money and we have decided to close our Nan'an factory and move the production into our Fujian factory. The Nan'an facility has been listed for sale or lease. We have also added new retail
customers and expect the improving sales trend to continue throughout fiscal 2019."
