As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased to 55.4% for the nine months ended October 3, 2010, from 55.0% for the nine months ended October 4, 2009, resulting in a decrease in gross margin of approximately 40 basis points to 44.6% for the nine months ended October 3, 2010, from 45.0% for the nine months ended October 4, 2009.
