The net sales decrease in this segment was primarily the result of the following factors:
63% decline in sales volume of our LeapPad family of products, which is technologically past its prime.
Discounts and allowances mainly due to our promotional efforts to reduce retailers’ slow-moving
inventories, increased by $5.0 million in 2006. Specifically, we reported 68% lower sales for our FLY
Pentop Computer business compared to 2005, reflecting promotional and other activities to reduce
existing FLY Pentop inventories in its last selling season. We plan to replace the FLY Pentop Computer
with the FLY Fusion Pentop Computer in 2007.
These factors were partially offset by direct sales at our on-line store of approximately $8.0 million
compared to $3.1 million in 2005. We plan to continue building our web products business. We expect to
continue to improve our online sales principally by improving our sales efforts and methodologies at the web
stores of our major retail customers and at the all-online e-tailers, and also at our own online web store.
