Maidenform's Q2 Income
Up 16%
Intimate apparel marketer Maidenform Brands has posted a 16% increase in net income to US$10.9m for the second quarter.
Total net sales for the quarter increased $1.9m, or 1.6%, to $119.0m. Second quarter wholesale segment net sales increased 2.5% to $105.2m,
with international sales jumping 17.0% to $10.3m.
Net sales for the department stores and national chain stores channel increased $8.6m, or 14.4%, to $68.2m, the company said, with growth
largely driven by strong performance in the company's full-figure Lilyette brand.
Same-store sales for Maidenform's retail outlet stores decreased 6.1% during the period though as a result of a decrease in customer
traffic, the company added.
Both operating income and earnings per share (EPS) are expected to be lower in the third quarter of 2007 and significantly higher in the
fourth quarter of 2007, with net sales growth now forecasted at 5%-7% instead of 6%-7%.

Sipping Vodka
A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.
The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous On the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.
He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following
note on the door:
1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook.
8) David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him.
9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10) We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say " Eat me"
12) The Virgin Mary is not called " Mary with the Cherry,.
13) The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
14) Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST. Peter's not a peter
pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
