Diluted earnings per share increased 26% to $0.54 per share compared to $0.43 in the prior year quarter.

For the year ended June 30, 2008, net sales increased 9% to $2.18 billion compared to $1.99 billion for the prior year.

The comparable prior year quarter and fiscal year-to-date periods were impacted by expenditures related to the Company’s Special Committee review of its stock option grant practices and related matters.

Excluding such costs for the comparable fiscal year-end periods, non-GAAP net income was $56.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 versus $48.8 million for the same prior year period, an increase of 15%. Diluted earnings per share increased 13% to $0.54 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to a non-GAAP $0.48 per share in the prior year quarter. Compared on a fiscal year-over-year basis, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 15% to $2.13 per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 versus $1.86 for the same period in the prior year.
