      letter to us and in Note 15 to our Financial Statements included in our Report

      pro rata portion of the total gain recognized in 2003 and 2004. We included
      these amounts in Other Income/Expense because of the nature of the transaction
      involving a transaction with related parties. We believe this presentation
      provided more transparency to the readers of our financial statements. In
      accordance with the guidance of paragraph 45 of SFAS 144, we do include gains

      We
      believe we prepare cash flow statements in accordance with SFAS 95. With respect
      to cash flows of foreign subsidiaries, we have prepared our cash flow statements
      by converting the cash flows of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. Dollars and
      determining the exchange rate effect. We acknowledge that, on a consolidated
      basis, our cash balances appear minimal at the end of reporting periods. The
      primary reason for this is that we utilize any excess cash to pay down the
      balances under our existing credit facility to minimize interest expense. We
      do
      maintain significant cash balances at our UK subsidiary. This is consistent
      with
      the general levels of profitability at this subsidiary. In the past, we have
      retained the profits earned at this facility to minimize our tax exposure in
      the
      U.S. as any repatriation of these funds may be deemed a dividend. Over the
      period 2003 to 2005, there have been significant fluctuations in the exchange
      rates between the U.S. Dollar and the British Pound which has caused the
      exchange rate fluctuations presented in our cash flow statements. </font></div>

      Normally, we classify the reversal of liabilities previously recognized as
      operating expenses in income (loss) from operations and will continue to report
      such items in that manner in the future. We classified certain items,
      principally those relating to reversal of liabilities previously recognized,
      as
      other income during 2003 and 2004 for the following reasons: (i) substantially
      all such items related to liabilities of a foreign subsidiary which was no
      longer actively conducting business which and were being resolved out of the
      normal course of business, and are in that respect unusual, (ii) the items
      are
      generally non-recurring and (iii) the amounts of the items were significant
      in
      relation to our total income. Such reversal of liability items totaled $431,145
      in 2003 and $367,721 in 2004. In both 2003 and 2004, we reported losses from
      operations. We believe that this presentation provided more transparency to
      the
      readers of our financial statements.</font></div>

      At its

      products. We also warehouse, sell and market these products and latex balloon
      products from this facility. We believe that all of this activity is in a single
      segment, for the following reasons: (i) the products made at the Barrington
      facility are all made utilizing predominantly the same facilities, equipment
      and
      personnel, (ii) the products themselves and methods of production are highly
      similar for all of these products, (iii) we do not identify separate segments
      for management or operating purposes, (iv) we do not have separate managers
      for
      these products; there is common management for all of them, (v) we do not
      generate financial information or results separately for these products, (vi)
      our President who is in charge of operations is not provided with, and does
      not
      review, separate operating results for each product, or any groups of products
      and (vii) we do not presently maintain or have available discrete financial
      information with respect to the products or any groups of products, other than
      sales by product which we do maintain and report. For the foregoing reasons,
      and
      for the reasons of our limited size and resources, and the burden of creating
      segment information which is not presently maintained, we believe that the
      activities in the Barrington, Illinois facility, and all products produced,
