Marla Schaefer, Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of Claire's Stores noted that, 'They are very pleased to report that their North American business outperformed their internal projections each month during the third fiscal quarter, even taking into account the worst hurricane season in memory. Admittedly, they were cautious in their plans, since the number of negative factors affecting consumers was larger than they have seen in some time. However, their customers kept shopping, and demonstrated their enthusiasm for their back to school and fall offerings.'

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2006, they are now estimating that net income will reach $33 to $35 million, or $0.33 to $0.35 per diluted share.
