This filing serves as an update to Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1. It discloses preliminary, unaudited financial estimates for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as the final financial statements and audit by McGladrey LLP were not yet complete at the time of filing.
Key Financial Metrics (Preliminary Estimates)

- Gross Profit: Between $14.0 million and $14.5 million.
- Gross Margin: Approximately 26.4% to 27.3% (calculated from provided ranges).
Note: The filing text does not provide clear values for operating profit, net income, cash flow, debt levels, or liquidity metrics for this period.
Material Changes and Comparisons
The filing does not provide specific comparative data against the prior year or prior quarter to quantify material changes. The document explicitly states that comparisons of results for current and prior periods are not intended to express future trends and should be viewed as historical data only.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management emphasizes that the provided results are preliminary. The ranges for net sales and gross profit were provided primarily because financial closing procedures were incomplete. There is no assurance that final results will not differ materially from these estimates.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Audit Adjustments: Final results may differ due to year-end closing, audit procedures, or review adjustments.
- Forward-Looking Statements: The filing contains forward-looking statements subject to risks such as accounting principle changes, discovery of new information, and valuation methodology impacts.
- Non-Indicative of Future Performance: Preliminary results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods.
Other Events: The filing incorporates compensation information for named executive officers and directors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, via Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
