Operational Results Summary

Chairman and CEO Christopher D. Bering said "I am extremely pleased with the organization's accomplishments despite the unprecedented global logistical headwinds that all businesses are facing today. Regardless, the Company performed well, even when compared to the same period in 2020, which COVID-19 positively influenced."

Bering went on to say, "Though the operating environment is extremely challenging with supply chains backed up, and container and shipping costs up over 400% versus what they were a year ago, we have been largely spared from the worst impact because the Company made strategic investments into our supply chain in early 2020 to mitigate the substantial global congestion. We continued those investments in the third quarter of 2021 with additions to our West Coast distribution facilities which now comprise over 500,000 square feet in space. Longer-term, we remain extremely optimistic in our strategy. The Company continues to make major investments into infrastructure including a state-of-the-art ERP system as well as human capital that will continue to support the higher growth rates that we are experiencing. Our highly successful core business remains a design company and I strongly believe that our investments today will lead to continued profitable growth in the years to come."

Andrew Bass, Chairman of the Capital Allocation Committee, said that "the Company remains on track to have its first financial audit completed in the first quarter of 2022 for Fiscal Year 2021. This will be a big milestone in the history of the Company as it will continue to improve the level of confidence in the credibility of the business. We remain focused on three core strategies. Investing into our core design-oriented e-commerce business in the home furnishing space which has extraordinary potential, focusing on building per share intrinsic value over multi-year market cycles, and continuing to improve credibility, professionalism, and transparency toward our shareholders."
