The increase in depreciation and amortization expense during the third quarter was primarily due to increased amortization expense attributable to our renewed NBC trademark license. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense on a year-to-date basis is due to a reduction in our depreciable asset base year over year which resulted from our Oracle11i upgrade asset becoming fully depreciated during fiscal 2010, offset by increased amortization expense attributable to our renewed NBC trademark license.

Highlight of Business Operations:
Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended October 29, 2011 were $410,857,000 as compared with consolidated net sales of $383,437,000 for the comparable prior period, a 7% increase. The increase in year to date consolidated net sales from the prior year is due to higher net sales in almost every major product category, with double-digit sales increases in our jewelry, health & beauty and fashion & accessories product categories.
