Sales of licorice extract to non-tobacco customers increased by $1.6 million as a result of an increase in shipment volumes to confectionary customers and the favorable impact of the U.S. dollar translation of Mafco Worldwides Euro denominated sales due to the weaker dollar in 2010 versus 2009.

Sales of licorice extract to the worldwide tobacco industry decreased by $0.8 million as the result of a decline in shipment volumes due to continued worldwide consumption declines in tobacco products using licorice, a shift in the strategy of worldwide cigarette manufacturers which placed a greater emphasis on product changes and cost reductions and the continued rationalization of inventories by Altria, Inc. which affected order timing.Cost of revenues for the Harland Clarke segment decreased by $10.6 million, or 5.3%, to $190.2 million in the 2010 period from $200.8 million in the 2009 period.
