Highlight of Business Operations:

Net Revenues Net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $52.0 million as compared to $51.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $0.2 million or 0.4%. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, net revenues were $119.1 million as compared to $107.4 million for the six month period of fiscal 2010, an increase of $11.7 million or 10.9%. Net revenues may be periodically impacted by adjustments made to the Companys sales allowance and marketing support accrual to record unanticipated customer deductions from accounts receivable or to reduce the accrual by any amounts which were accrued in the past but not taken by customers through deductions from accounts receivable within a certain time period. In the aggregate, these adjustments had the effect of increasing net revenues and operating income by approximately $136,000 and $371,000 for the second quarters of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, and approximately $267,000 and $681,000 for the six month periods of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales revenues less license revenues was 88.9% in the six month period of fiscal 2011 as compared to 89.3% in the six month period of fiscal 2010. The increase in cost of sales in absolute terms for both the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2011 as compared to the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2010 was primarily related to an increase in core product cost of sales, partially offset by reduced royalties related to themed products and higher purchase return credits.

Working capital decreased to $34.2 million at September 30, 2010 as compared to $47.9 million at September 30, 2009.
