Net profit for the quarter was $12,411, compared to a profit of $128,696 in the corresponding first quarter of 2011. The reduction in net profit is largely attributable to selling, design and administrative costs of approximately $142,000 in respect of the new "Splendid Intimates" and "Ella Moss" programs, which have been expensed ahead of initial sales of these products which commenced shipping subsequent to the quarter end.

The Company's Balance Sheet remains strong. With working capital of $3,745,329 and no operating debt, the Company is well capitalized to fund its operations. Shareholders' Equity increased to $4,784,974 during the quarter.

Positive cash flow for the current quarter amounted to $290,323 as compared to negative cash flow of $331,164 in 2011 and is attributable to strong collections of receivables during the quarter.

"I am pleased to say that the investment that the company has made in the past year in the company's core business, namely intimate apparel which, includes bras, panties, day wear and sleepwear and in particular, the launch of "Splendid Intimates", is already showing significant results, with shipments having commenced in early February 2013. Sales for the two months ended February 28th 2013 have already surpassed sales for the entire comparable quarter in the previous year. Furthermore, we have received extremely encouraging reports of initial sell through results from our major customers evidencing how well their customers are receiving the new products", said Mr. Hylton Karon, President and CEO.
