Competition
The Company's business is subject to significant competition. The Company's primary business of designing and distributing wallcoverings and decorative fabrics is highly competitive. The Company competes with other wholesale distributors of wallcoverings and fabrics and with manufacturers of wallcoverings and fabrics that maintain their own distribution network. All of the competitors that manufacturer wallcoverings and fabrics have greater financial resources than the Company and greater control over the products they distribute. Certain of the Company's competitors that distribute wallcoverings and fabrics, but do not manufacture, have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company's Brand Name wallcoverings and fabrics, such as Concord-TM-, Ridley Nash-TM-, Rosedale-TM-, Cambridge Studios-TM-, Hamilton House-TM-, and Kingsway Fabrics-TM-compete with other brands of wallcoverings and fabrics primarily on the basis of quality, design and color and are therefore subject to consumers' tastes and preferences which may change at any time. In addition, the Company Brand Name wallcoverings and fabrics compete against brands produced and distributed by competitors that may have greater financial resources than the Company. The company also competes with national and regional retail distributors, many of which have greater financial and other resources of the Company.

Business Plan
The Company's strategy is to continue to capitalize on the brand name recognition enjoyed by many of its product lines and to utilize its distribution network to distribute a greater variety of products manufactured by third parties. The Company intends to increase the number of retail locations that carry products that are either manufactured, designed or distributed by the Company, to increase the amount of products carried by such stores and to penetrate other geographic markets including the United States, with special emphasis on foreign markets.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for new product development, sales and marketing, hiring additional personnel, the repayment of certain indebtedness and for working capital and general corporate purposes including potential synergistic acquisitions.
