Fourth quarter sales are impacted by the holiday driven seasonality of the Housewares/Small Appliance segment.  This segment typically orders/purchases inventory during the first three quarters to meet the sales demand of the fourth quarter.  The Defense and Safety segments are typically non-seasonal.
