Now we have traditionally skilled larger gross sales in our third fiscal quarter endingDecember 31 , in comparison with different fiscal quarters in our fiscal yr, primarily due to the elevated client demand for our merchandise in the course of the year-end vacation shopping for season and year-end spending by enterprises.

Moreover, money circulation is correspondingly decrease within the first half of our fiscal yr as we sometimes construct inventories in advance for the third quarter and we pay an annual dividend following our Annual Basic Assembly, which is often in September.
