Net sales included within discontinued operations was $15.3 million and $26.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in sales primarily relates to the disposal of the CRM business on August 20, 2012.

The sales increase was directly related to continued improved consumption and expanded distribution with strong contributions from many of our brands, including Celestial Seasonings, Earth s Best, Garden of Eatin , Imagine, MaraNatha, The Greek Gods and Alba Botanica. Operating income in the United States for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $84.1 million, an increase of $10.6 million, or 14.4%, from operating income of $73.5 million in the prior year s period.

The improvement primarily resulted from the continued leverage of the Company s expense base, price increases and productivity improvements, offset partially by certain higher input costs. Additionally, sales in the United States were impacted by the shift in sales responsibilities in Canada for the Sensible Portions brand to the Company s Canadian operations in fiscal year 2013, which accounted for $5.7 million included in United States sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2012.

Operating income in the United Kingdom for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $11.1 million, an increase of $8.8 million, from operating income of $2.2 million in the prior year s period.
