· Net sales in our technical products business decreased $6.9 million or three percent as higher average net prices were more than offset by unfavorable currency effects and lower shipment volume. Excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased $4.5 million or two percent. Higher average net prices reflected a sales mix with a higher proportion of higher-value products, as well as selling price increases. Sales volumes decreased from the prior year as growth in wall covering, transportation filtration and label shipments was more than offset by lower tape volume. Unfavorable currency exchange effects reflected a seven percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro during the first six months of 2012.

· SG&A expense of $19.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.1 million higher than the prior year period primarily due to higher selling and advertising costs related to the brands acquired from Wausau. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales was approximately 9.0 percent and was 0.8 percentage points lower than the prior year period as the increase in net sales in the current year period more than offset higher SG&A expenses.
