The gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 35.5% from 36.2% in the prior year. The decrease as a percentage of sales is due to increased costs of finished goods from the Companys vendors in Asia and the US.

The decrease as a percentage of sales is due to increased costs of finished goods from the Companys vendors in Asia and the US. The increase in these costs is due to increased raw material and labor costs, in addition to the devaluation of the US dollar relative to the Chinese RMB.
