Corporate & Other
 
Net sales for the Corporate & Other segment, which pertain primarily to Smith & Hawken®, decreased $25.4 million or 13.8% in fiscal 2008. Net sales decreased across all channels of Smith & Hawken®. Additionally, the first half of fiscal 2007 benefited from initial start-up activity with Starbucks®. The operating loss for Corporate & Other decreased by $3.3 million in fiscal 2008 primarily due to lower net Corporate spending.
 
Net sales for the Corporate & Other segment increased $14.8 million or 8.7% in fiscal 2007 due largely to the business-to-business channel, including the initial start-up activity with Starbucks®. The operating loss for Corporate & Other decreased by $0.5 million in fiscal 2007. Spending at the Corporate level declined more than the numbers indicate for fiscal 2007, as fiscal 2006 benefited from a $10.1 million insurance recovery.

Corporate & Other
 
The loss from operations in Corporate & Other was $90.5 million in fiscal 2007, $91.0 million in fiscal 2006, and $105.7 million in fiscal 2005. Spending at the Corporate level declined more than the numbers indicate for fiscal 2007, as fiscal 2006 benefited from the $10.1 million insurance recovery. Significant reductions in legal and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs in fiscal 2006 served to reduce the loss as compared to fiscal 2005, although a loss in our Smith & Hawken® business mitigated the impact of these cost reductions.

Corporate & Other
 
The loss from operations in Corporate & Other was $81.8 million in fiscal 2006, $94.2 million in fiscal 2005, and $70.6 million in fiscal 2004. The increase from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 largely was driven by increased legal and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs. While significant reductions in these costs in fiscal 2006 served to reduce the loss as compared to fiscal 2005, a loss in our Smith & Hawken® business mitigated the impact of these cost reductions.
