Section 2- Financial Information

Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

During the course of preparing its quarterly report for the fiscal 2007 third quarter, Q.E.P. Co., Inc. (the “Company”) became aware, and on January 4, 2007, determined that, the Company was in violation of a financial covenant under the Company’s credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with its senior lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) that required the Company to maintain a certain senior debt to trailing EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility). A violation of this financial covenant would, unless waived by the Lenders, constitute an event of default under the Credit Facility, giving the Lenders the right to prohibit additional borrowing under the Credit Facility, accelerate the Company’s indebtedness thereunder, and take other actions as provided for in the Credit Facility. As of January 4, 2007, $24,585,168 of borrowings was outstanding under the Credit Facility, including reserves and outstanding letter of credit.

The Company is currently in discussions with the Lenders with respect to the violation of the financial covenant with a view toward obtaining a waiver of the current non-compliance with the covenant. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate a waiver or that such a waiver will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver from the Lenders, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
