SG&A expenses during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were $6,904,000 compared to $6,372,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, an 8 percent increase, primarily due to expenses associated with the retail stores we opened during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Marc Crossman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with the progress we made during the second quarter, namely improving our gross margin by 4 percentage points, growing our men's and international businesses, and generating over $1 million in sales from our recently opened Company owned retail stores."
Crossman continued, "While our growth for the first six months of this year was relatively flat at 1 percent, we have made a number of merchandising changes to give the consumer fresh and innovative product. As a result, our bookings indicate that we will see accelerated growth in the back half of the year."
