FORM 12b-25

QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

 

ATTACHMENT FOR PART IV, ITEM (3)

 

The Registrant anticipates an increase in Registrant’s net sales for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 as compared to net sales for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014. However, inasmuch as the Registrant is still waiting for the financial results of its Hong Kong Joint Venture before the Registrant is able to finalize its financial statements, at this time the Registrant is unable to definitively quantify its results of operations.
