Net revenues for the thirteen-week period ended June 30, 2012, increased approximately 12 percent to $146.0 million as compared to net revenues of $130.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

The Company has opened 10 new stores and has not closed any stores since the second quarter of last year.
