General and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were $352,838 and $1,081,971, respectively. The increases in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to an increase in professional fees, Sarbanes Oxley compliance costs, and stock option compensation expenses that were not present in comparable periods of 2006.
Rich Parlontieri, President and CEO said, "Our execution of previously implemented programs to streamline operational efficiency and improve the customer experience helped achieve the increases in same store operating margins during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. While our overall net income was not as high as prior year mainly due to an increase in general and administrative expenses associated with expanding our business into Dallas and St. Louis, compliance with Sarbanes Oxley and new store operating expenses, we are encouraged by the increase in sales and our ability to improve our efficiency at our existing stores."
