We are having continued success with our direct-to-retail strategy, where almost across the board we saw double digit sales increases. Over the past five years we have built a strong brand management platform with a powerful portfolio of 24 brands across fashion and home. Today, we are excited to announce our acquisition of the Peanuts brand which further diversifies our Company into new categories, channels, and territories and provides a large global platform from which we hope to leverage our existing and future brands."

The Company is increasing its full year 2010 revenue guidance to a range of $305-$315 million from $260-$270 million. This assumes an organic growth rate of approximately 7% and includes approximately $35-40 million related to the Peanuts acquisition. The Company is also raising its 2010 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance to a range of $1.35-$1.40 from $1.25-$1.30 and raising its GAAP diluted EPS guidance to a range of $1.23-1.28 from $1.13-$1.18. The Company now estimates that free cash flow for 2010 will be in a range of $150- $155 million. This guidance relates to the existing portfolio of brands and also includes contributions related to our acquisition of the Peanuts brand which we expect to close in the next 30 to 60 days, and assumes no additional acquisitions.
