<p>“In four days, our outstanding team of salespeople
wrote orders exceeding 40% of all of our 2005 revenue. We projected that Notch

tripling or better.” Remarks Brett Weiss, CEO of Notch Novelty.
“We could not be more pleased with the response from the industry on
our new Disney items which have shown tremendous sell-through at the retail
level. The years of laying the groundwork has paid off and we are 100% ready to
