Total company sales for ordspråk

We have over the past several months implemented significant measures to reduce expenses as outlined in detail in our press release dated March 27, 2006. Additionally, we are focused on introducing many new products which we believe will be attractive to our customers.

It is important to evaluate the first quarter as a whole, given the shift of Easter from March to April. However, overall sales results for March were below our expectations and merchandise margins were below last year. Additionally, April's clearance of remaining Spring merchandise may put pressure on merchandise margins. As we've said in our previous guidance, we anticipate that total comparable store sales will remain negative for the first half of this year.
