Jeffrey Meder, the Company�s President and CEO. �The predictable fall off in sales in Kauai due to new competition, and other pressures such as the coup in Fiji, pulled our overall comp sales down. However, we were still able to show positive comps for the month, a testament to the great seasonal sales in our other markets.� Same store sales increases for the following periods were: Fiscal Month Fiscal Fourth Fiscal Year Quarter � December 2006 4.0 % 3.5 % 3.4 % � December 2005 5.2 % 1.7 % 4.7 % Fiscal 2006 was a 52-week year as compared to fiscal 2005 which was a 53-week year.
