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."
