Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, approximated 66.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 66.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, approximated 67.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 66.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increases as a percentage of sales in the three and six-month periods are primarily attributed to the significant reductions in net sales outpacing the reductions in overhead included within cost of sales. The Companys gross margins may not be comparable with other entities, since some entities include all of the cost related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold. As disclosed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company includes a portion of the costs associated with its distribution network in selling and administrative expenses. The amounts included in selling and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were $1,545,552 and $1,824,634.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were approximately 31.4% and 27.6%, respectively, for the first six months of 2009 and 2008. The increase as a percentage of sales in the three-month period is primarily attributed to decreased sales volume (6.2%) plus increased retirement plan expenses (1.1%) which was partially offset by decreased salaries, wages and benefits other than pension expense (5.3%). The increase as a percentage of sales in the six-month period is attributed to decreased sales volume (7.8%) plus increased retirement plan expenses (0.9%) which was partially offset by decreased salaries, wages and benefits other than pension expense (4.6%), and a gain on the sale of a warehouse in 2009 (0.3%).

The decrease in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 is attributed to the reduction in outstanding borrowings in the current periods.
The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 31.3% versus 38.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Companys effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 37.7% versus 38.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Highlight of Business Operations:
The current economic environment in the United States remains very challenging. A significant number of companies, including many of our customers, have closed locations, reduced headcount or both. Additionally, voluntary employee turnover has been reduced significantly. Fewer available jobs coupled with less attrition resulted in decreased demand for our uniforms and service apparel. Additionally, customers are being more cost conscious and are delaying purchases of new uniforms whenever possible. As a result of these factors, net sales decreased 21.2% from $31,699,285 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $24,971,523 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and net sales decreased 25.1% from $64,981,915 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $48,687,617 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, approximated 66.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 66.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
