* The signing of new international distribution agreements for the William Rast Brand in Cyprus and Greece and the Benelux Region, which includes the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

* The addition of Orly Goldstein to the company's sales staff.

"During the quarter we made significant progress in achieving our business goals," said Chief Executive Officer Colin Dyne. "The second quarter's improved financial performance was driven by strong top line growth as we saw sales of the William Rast brand continue to gain momentum. In support of our efforts to expand the international footprint for the William Rast brand, we are pleased to have signed two new distribution agreements in recent weeks. We expect our international business to contribute significantly to the brand in 2008. We also saw the expansion of our specialty store and department store business where sell throughs are extremely strong. Our People's Liberation brand has momentum in the marketplace and we have seen a significant improvement in the second quarter compared to the first quarter with strong sell throughs and bookings for the third quarter. We will be launching new marketing campaigns for both brands at the end of this month to kick off our spring 2008 collections. In the meantime, we continue to focus on streamlining operations and improving our sourcing capabilities to ensure profitability and strong gross margins. We also are exploring potential acquisition candidates as a part of our strategy to create a portfolio of high-end contemporary brands under the People's Liberation umbrella. Management also reiterates its guidance that it anticipates the company will achieve profitability in the second half of this year," said Dyne.
