Cary Deacon, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Despite a very choppy retail quarter, our distribution group aggressively pursued market share and has continued to expand our close relationships with both vendor and retail partners. This strategy changed our margin mix in the quarter and we believe that this impact is temporary. We employed more distribution inventory in the quarter to support our initiatives and fully expect to finish our fiscal year at or below last year's inventory levels. As well in the quarter, our distribution segment was awarded Symantec's software business at Best Buy."
Deacon continued, "Both Encore and FUNimation had a solid quarter. Each business met operating profit expectations, which were an improvement as compared to the same quarter last year. Encore's signing of the previously announced PlayFirst exclusive license agreement was an important step in our acquisition plan in the PC gaming and entertainment sector. FUNimation continues to grow its market share in the Anime sector. The Publishing segment was impacted by the poor performance of BCI; however, we believe that BCI is positioned to return to profitability in fiscal year 2009."
