The company's core wholesale business also maintained its consistent growth of approx. 20 percent year-over-year. Core revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was $22.40 million, an increase of 31 percent from core revenues in the first quarter of 2005 (the year-over-earlier quarter included a small amount from the ENZO stores open at that time).
The company said it continued to build its relationships with major retailers worldwide in the first quarter, including general merchandisers and jewelry chains. During the first quarter, for instance, it reported a single order of over $1 million from one of the largest mass merchants in the US and a longstanding LJI customer.
