The increase in the gross profits experienced during the quarter and year-to-date periods was driven primarily by merchandise margin improvements targeted in a majority of our key product categories and increased shipping and handling margins resulting from fewer promotions.

Gross margin percentages for the nine months ended October 30, 2010 and the comparable prior year period were 36.5% and 33.1%, respectively, a 340 basis point increase. The increase in the gross margin percentages experienced during the quarter and year-to-date periods was driven primarily by merchandise margin improvements targeted in a majority of our key product categories, increased shipping and handling margins resulting from fewer promotions and due to the impact of having a lower consumer electronics product mix during fiscal 2010.

Distribution and selling expense also increased on a year-to-date basis as a result of increased credit card fees and bad debt expense totaling $2,235,000 due to the overall increase in net sales and order transactions over prior year. The distribution and selling expense increases during the year were offset by: decreases in customer service and telemarketing expense of $1,024,000 resulting primarily from efficiencies gained during the year in the areas of increased order process automation as well as reductions achieved in our average talk time for both order capture and customer service; decreases in advertising and promotion expense of $626,000; and decreases in third-party cable affiliation fees of $100,000.
