ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 33-8216, the following information is being furnished under both Item 9, “Regulation FD Disclosure” and Item 12, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.”

On October 13, 2003, Q.E.P. Co., Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding results for the fiscal 2004 second quarter and held a related conference call to discuss these results. A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

With respect to each non-GAAP financial measure, the Company has disclosed the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures were presented in the press release because the Company’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial results are meaningful to investors because they provide a consistent comparison with prior period results.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release attached hereto are being furnished by the Company pursuant to Item 12 of Form 8-K, insofar as they disclose historical information regarding the Company’s results of operations for the Fiscal 2004 second quarter.
