<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the third quarter ended October&nbsp;31, 2005, sales increased slightly but operating margins fell.
Through nine months both revenues and margins are up, though not enough to return us to
profitability as we had hoped earlier in the year. The corrective measures announced in our
October press release are already taking effect and, as this report is written, prospects for the

in preparation for the 2006 inventory build and delivery cycle. Here are the numbers:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The factors cited in our October press release were responsible for the late summer decline in
operating margins. These included volatile raw material and fuel costs related to Hurricane
Katrina, pricing that lagged raw material increases, and an imbalance of production versus support
personnel. The restructuring announced in that release was completed quickly at a cost of
$742,000. That expense is included in the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">third quarter results. Annual savings from the restructuring are expected to be approximately
$4,000,000. We also expect restructuring savings in the fourth quarter to more than offset
restructuring expense in the third quarter, yielding a net saving for fiscal 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Based on two prior years&#146; failure to recover escalating material costs, and faced with additional
cost pressures caused by the hurricane, we made significant price adjustments before releasing
catalogs and price lists for the 2006 selling season. The first phase of the increase, affecting
roughly 25% of our business, is now showing up in new orders. For the month of November and the
first few days of December, margins in all major areas &#151; incoming orders, shipments and backlog &#151;
are climbing. This bodes well for fourth quarter results, which should be better than those for
the same period in 2004. It also bodes well for 2006, since the bulk of the increase takes effect
in mid January. Next year&#146;s summer deliveries will all be priced to recover not only recent
material cost increases, but prior ones.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">It&#146;s taken us three years to integrate the key elements of our new Equipment for Educators program.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition to our ongoing new product development efforts, which for the past few years have
accounted for most of our capital expenditures, we also recently invested in two major process
improvements. The first of these was refurbishment of our idle Conway, Arkansas chrome plating
line. We&#146;ve been incurring significant freight expense due to outsourcing since we mothballed the
line three years ago. It will again be operational in January, 2006, and we expect to save
approximately $1,000,000 annually by plating in our own facility. The second investment was for
injection molding equipment. We acquired 10 large presses and associated equipment, all in
excellent condition, for less than $500,000. These machines will be placed in our Conway plant to
support both new and existing product lines. We expect a payback period of six months.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the third quarter we also renewed our line of credit with Wells Fargo. The structure of the
loan remains essentially unchanged. It provides full liquidity through our seasonal cycle, from
inventory build (which is beginning now) through delivery and receivables collection in the fall.
This year we also have an additional $10,000,000 of peak season receivables financing in
anticipation of greater volume. The loan covenants reflect our plan to achieve both sequential and
cumulative margin improvements beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005. We&#146;ve already made good
progress in November and early December, as described above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">With our Equipment for Educators product assortment now fully integrated into over 100 regional and
national contracts, all of which are appropriately priced to reflect the quality of our products
and the reliability of our service, we feel better prepared for the coming year than at any time
since the downturn in 2002. While frustrated with a third year of substandard performance, we
believe the pieces are in place to once again deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders.
