Highlight of Business Operations:

Footwear sales made up 95.5%, 94.6%, and 91.6% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, approximately 75.5%, 77.5% and 77.9% of unit sales consisted of products geared towards adults,

respectively, compared to 24.5%, 22.5% and 22.1% of unit sales of products geared towards children, respectively. Sales of our Crocs Classic models accounted for 9.9%, 15.8%, and 24.8% of total unit sales for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We believe that the declining percentage of our original styles is reflective of our continued efforts to diversify our product-line and reduce reliance on original styles.

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, approximately 61.0%, 62.6% and 76.5% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from sales through the wholesale channel which consists of sales to distributors and third-party retailers. Wholesale customers include national and regional retail chains, department stores, sporting goods stores and family footwear retailers, such as Nordstrom, Journeys, Dillard's, Dick's Sporting Goods, The Sports Authority, The Forzani Group, Famous Footwear, DSW and Xebio, as well as on-line retailers such as Zappos, Amazon and Shoebuy.com. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008.

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, approximately 29.5%, 28.0%, and 17.4%, of our net revenues were derived from sales through our retail channel, which consists of company-operated kiosks, retail and outlet stores.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we offered our products through 46 and 23 company-operated webstores, respectively worldwide. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, approximately 9.5%, 9.4%, and 6.1% respectively, of our net revenues were derived from sales through our internet channel. Our internet presence enables us to educate consumers about our products and brand. We continue to expand our web-based marketing efforts to increase consumer awareness of our full product range.

In the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we manufactured approximately 21.0%, 26.4% and 16.6%, respectively, of our footwear products internally and sourced the remaining footwear production from multiple third-party manufacturers in China and Bosnia.
