Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006:
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $347.9 million compared with $324.3 million for the prior year.

Net sales for 2006 included $64.8 million of incremental net sales attributed to David Brooks, Shane Hunter, and Marisa Christina, which were businesses that were acquired in late 2005 and 2006.

Excluding acquisitions, net sales declined $41.2 million, primarily due to a decline in 2006 shipments to several customers of the private label business of the women's related separates division.

Operating income for 2005 includes a $6.0 million one time recovery from two former employees for improper payments made to them by a third party vendor.

At December 31, 2006, cash and short term investments totaled $70.2 million compared with $75.8 million at December 31, 2005.
