----------
(A) The increases in revenues were through a collaborated effort with a major
customer. Ace Marketing was able to create, administer and fulfill in house a
large order which benefited over 3,500 members of a police organization. The
order was responsible for approximately 37% of the 2008 second quarter revenue
and over 23% of the 2008 six month revenues. We can provide no assurances that
this large order will be recurring in future operating periods.


(B) Gross profits will vary period-to-period depending upon a number of factors
including the mix of items sold, pricing of the items and the volume of product
sold. Also, it is our practice to pass freight costs on to our customers.
Reimbursement of freight costs which are included in revenues have lower profit
margins than sales of our promotional products and has the effect of reducing
our overall gross profit margin on sales of products, particularly on smaller
orders. The second quarter and six month gross profit for 2008 was negatively
impacted by reduced gross profit achieved in connection with the large order
placed by members of a police organization.
