Highlight of Business Operations:

We include a majority of our outbound shipping and handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other companies that include outbound shipping and handling costs in the calculation of their cost of goods sold. Outbound shipping and handling costs include costs associated with shipping goods to customers and certain costs to operate our distribution facilities. These costs were $4.9 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $9.5 million and $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

License revenues increased $0.9 million, or 12.0%, to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $7.2 million during the same period in 2008. This increase in license revenues was a result of increased sales by certain licensees due to increased distribution and continued unit volume growth, along with new product offerings.

Gross profit increased $3.4 million to $74.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $70.9 million for the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, decreased 20 basis points to 45.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 45.3% during the same period in 2008. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:

Income from operations increased $0.1 million, or 3.3%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $3.3 million for the same period in 2008. Income from operations as a percentage of net revenues remained at 2.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Interest expense, net increased $0.3 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $0.3 million for the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily due to increased fees related to our new revolving credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Other expense, net decreased $0.1 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $0.5 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to gains on foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in the Euro and Canadian Dollar, largely offset by losses on our derivative financial instruments.
