Interest expense decreased 35.6% from $2.9 million in the second quarter ended August 2, 2008, to $1.9 million for the second quarter ended August 1, 2009, primarily due to reduced interest expense on the Companys 4 1/8% Debentures as a result of retiring $56.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures during the first quarter of Fiscal 2010.

The Company recorded an effective income tax rate of 9.7% in the first six months this year compared to 38.6% in the same period last year. This years effective tax rate of 9.7% reflects the non-deductibility of certain items incurred in connection with the inducement of the conversion of the 4 1/8% Debentures for common stock in the first quarter this year. Last years effective tax rate of 38.6% is primarily attributable to the deduction of prior period merger-related expenses that became deductible upon termination of the Finish Line merger agreement offset by an income tax liability recorded as a result of the increase in value of the shares of common stock received in the settlement of litigation with The Finish Line that had no corresponding recording of income in the financial statements.
