 about the Company's business outlook than we have been for some time and that optimism continues today. The hurdles we faced last year are behind us, allowing us to fully concentrate on improving our operations. Our gross margins increased significantly as a result of a better product mix and lower overall allowances and chargebacks. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a $540,000 increase in professional fees. The increase was due to our continuing exploration of our strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including discussions with a private apparel company with respect to a possible combination of the companies.

, which beneficially owns 22.4% of our outstanding common stock, is a majority stockholder of the private company. Consequently, we established a special committee of independent directors to consider this transaction and our strategic alternatives. The special committee has retained a financial advisor, Chanin Capital Partners, and legal counsel. We caution that no assurances can be made that the exploration of strategic alternatives, including the discussions with the private apparel company, will result in a transaction. We also do not intend to disclose developments with respect to these matters unless and until we enter into a specific transaction or the process is otherwise completed."

Mr. Knigin continued, "We are continuing to receive good responses from our customers to our new and existing product lines. Our backlog of open orders to be shipped was $33,159,000 at September 30, 2006 compared to $24,155,000 at the same time last year. We book our orders upon receipt and believe that the backlog is firm and will be shipped in the current fiscal year."
