L&L has the following information that needs to be analyzed to determine the appropriate income
statement presentation.
1. Net Sales
L&L had net sales of $74.5 million in fiscal 2005 and $86.5 million in fiscal 2006; an increase of $12
million, or 16.1 percent. The increase in net sales was driven, in part, by an increase in revenue from
services provided by Sassy Spa, which increased from $3.9 million in fiscal 2005 to $11.2 million in
fiscal 2006. The remaining increase in total net sales of $4.7 million was because of an increase in
the average transaction value, driven by higher average retail sales on a per unit basis due to the
favorable customer response to the use of more vintage prints in its garments.
2. Gross Profit
Gross profit, which represents net sales less cost of sales, increased from $28 million in fiscal 2005 to
$30.4 million in fiscal 2006; an increase of $2.4 million, or 8.6 percent.
Cost of sales includes expenses incurred to acquire and produce inventory for sale, such as product
costs, freight-in and import costs, and direct labor costs for Sassy Spa employees. However, cost of
sales excludes depreciation. Cost of sales increased from $46.5 million in fiscal 2005 to $56.1 million
in fiscal 2006; an increase of $9.6 million, or 20.6 percent, primarily as the result of an increase in the
cost of Sassy Spa services.
3. Gain on Sale of Corporate Headquarters
L&L relocated its corporate headquarters to Wilton, Connecticut. In connection with the relocation,
L&L sold the abandoned building and realized a gain of $1.7 million on the sale.
4. Class Action Settlement
L&L became aware that the "vintage" materials provided by one of its fabric suppliers were not, in
fact, vintage. During fiscal 2006, L&L settled a class action lawsuit related to the legal case against
the supplier in connection with this scandal and received proceeds of $2.7 million.
