The 400,000 square-foot Roanoke facility accommodates our distribution activities and houses a large portion of our inventory. Our fulfillment operations for Europe are conducted under a logistics services agreement by CEPL, an unrelated third party, at CEPLs facility in Beville, France. The CEPL agreement expired in June 2008, and we are negotiating an extension of this logistics services agreement through June 2013. While we insure our inventory and the Roanoke facility, the loss of either of these distribution facilities, as well as the inventory stored in those facilities, would require us to find replacement facilities and inventory and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Our operations have historically been seasonal, with higher sales generally occurring in the first half of the fiscal year as a result of increased demand by retailers in anticipation of and during the holiday season. In the year ended June 30, 2008, 61% of our net sales were made during the first half of the fiscal year. Due to product innovation and new product launches, the size and timing of certain orders from our customers and additions or losses of brand distribution rights, sales, results of operations, working capital requirements and cash flows can vary between quarters of the same and different years. As a result, we expect to experience variability in net sales, operating margin, net income, working capital requirements and cash flows on a quarterly basis. Increased sales of skin care and cosmetic products relative to fragrances may reduce the seasonality of our business.
We experience seasonality in our working capital, with peak inventory levels normally from July to October and peak receivable balances normally from September to December. Our working capital borrowings are also seasonal and are normally highest in the months of September, October and November. During the months of December, January and February of each year, cash is normally generated as customer payments on holiday season orders are received.
