According to the Company's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Paul Guez: " The continuing effort to improve gross margin by diversifying the production sources and locations has paid off in the form of better gross margins, but the process of getting new factories and vendors up to speed caused a slow down of the deliveries in the second quarter. They have orders in the third quarter close to $10 million which they expect to translate into higher revenue in the quarter."
