We are encouraged by our growth prospects and believe we are making great progress internationally.
This morning we announced an investment in the Ed Hardy brand and we are also looking at some larger acquisition opportunities that we feel could be actionable this year. Based on our better than expected performance in the quarter and our 50% interest in Ed Hardy, we feel confident increasing our revenue and earnings guidance at this time and look forward to what should be an exciting year for our company."
