NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY
 
Bluefly, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading Internet retailer that sells over 350 brands of designer apparel and accessories at discounts of up to 75% off of retail value.  The Company’s e-commerce Web site, bluefly.com (“Bluefly.com” or “Web Site”), was launched in September 1998.
 
On January 4, 2011, the Company and A + D Labs LLC (“A + D Labs” and, collectively with the Company, the “Members”) entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) in connection with the formation of Eyefly LLC (“Eyefly”), a newly formed Delaware limited liability company, which is initially owned 52% by the Company and 48% by A + D Labs.  Eyefly was formed for the purposes of developing and operating an e-commerce Web site and related online and mobile applications focused on selling fashionable prescription eyewear directly to consumers.  Eyefly launched its e-commerce Web site, eyefly.com (“Eyefly.com”), in June 2011.
 
Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Members made an aggregate of $700,000 of initial capital contributions in cash ($364,000 from the Company and $336,000 from A + D Labs) and agreed to make an additional $600,000 of capital contributions ($312,000 from the Company and $288,000 from A + D Labs) as necessary.  Additionally, the Operating Agreement provides the Company with an option (the “Call Option”) to purchase A + D Labs’ equity in Eyefly on or after the four year anniversary of formation at a valuation based on a specified multiple of adjusted EBITDA.  In the event the Company exercises the Call Option, A + D Labs has the option to receive the purchase price for equity in cash or in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, provided that the total number of shares issued to A + D Labs pursuant to such option cannot exceed 4,918,856 shares (which is less than 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the date of the Operating Agreement).
 
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting mainly of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year due to seasonal and other factors. For further information, refer to the financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company has sustained cumulative net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $153,811,000.  The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent on its ability to establish profitable operations, or find sources to fund operations.  The Company believes that its existing cash balance, combined with working capital and the funds available from the Company’s existing credit facility, will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet planned expenditures through at least the next 12 months.
 
Summary of significant accounting policies
 
Principles of consolidation
 
In January 2011, the Company adopted authoritative guidance relating to non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, Eyefly, in which the Company has a controlling financial interest.  All material intercompany transactions between the Company and Eyefly have been eliminated in consolidation.  For a consolidated subsidiary that is less than wholly-owned, the third-party holdings of equity interests is presented as non-controlling interests in subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements.  The portion of net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests for such subsidiary is presented as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiary in the Consolidated

NOTE 6 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Authoritative guidance relating to stock-based compensation requires the Company to measure compensation cost for stock awards at fair value and recognize compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Total share-based compensation expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations was $224,000 and $201,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $435,000 and $284,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Stock Options
 
The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are calculated based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company's Common Stock. Management monitors share option exercise and employee termination patterns to estimate forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The expected holding period of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the interest rate of U.S. Treasury notes in effect on the date of the grant.

NOTE 7 – NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO BLUEFLY, INC. STOCKHOLDERS
 
Basic net loss per share attributable to Bluefly, Inc. stockholders excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Bluefly, Inc. stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Bluefly, Inc. stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method for options, warrants, restricted stock awards and deferred stock unit awards.  Due to the Company’s net loss

NOTE 8 – FINANCING AGREEMENT
 
On June 17, 2011, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility (“Restated Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”).  Pursuant to the Restated Credit Facility with Wells Fargo, the terms were amended to (i) renew the term of the Restated Credit Facility for a 3 year term with a maturity date of June 17, 2014; (ii) decrease the standby and documentary letter of credit fees from 3.25% and 2.75%, respectively, to 2.75% and 2.25%, respectively; and (iii) change the rate at which interest accrues on the average daily amount under the Restated Credit Facility during the preceding month to a per annum rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.50% from prime rate plus 0.75%, or, LIBOR plus 2.75% from LIBOR plus 3.25%.  In addition, in the event that the Company terminates the Restated Credit Facility prior to the second anniversary, the Company will be subject to an early termination fee equal to 1.0% of the commitment.
 
Under the terms of the Restated Credit Facility, Wells Fargo provides the Company with a revolving credit facility and issues letters of credit in favor of suppliers or factors.  The Restated Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. Availability under the Restated Credit Facility is determined by a formula that takes into account specified percentages of the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable. The maximum availability is currently $7,500,000, but can be increased to $12,500,000 at the Company’s request, subject to certain conditions.  As of June 30, 2011, total availability under the Restated Credit Facility was approximately $7,500,000, of which $2,975,000 was committed for letters of credit in favor of suppliers, leaving approximately $4,525,000 available for further borrowings. The terms of the Restated Credit Facility contain a material adverse condition clause.  In the event of a material adverse change in the Company’s financial condition, the Company would not be able to obtain additional borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility and existing borrowings would become due and payable.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Bluefly, Inc. is a leading Internet retailer that sells over 350 brands of designer apparel and accessories at discounts of up to 75% off of retail value.  We launched our Web site in September 1998.

Our net sales increased by approximately 17% to $24,037,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $20,545,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Included in net sales for the second quarter of 2011 was an opportunistic sale of inventory to a third-party in the amount of approximately $1,331,000, which also reduced the return rate by approximately 1.3%.  Our gross profit margin percentage decreased to 31.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from 38.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our gross profit decreased by approximately 6.1% to $7,493,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $7,978,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in both our gross profit and gross profit margin percentage during the second quarter of 2011 was attributable to lower product margins related to the sales of luxury designer merchandise, which historically have lower gross margins compared to contemporary merchandise and an increase in promotional incentives during the second quarter of 2011.  Furthermore, gross profit margin percentage was also negatively impacted by currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Euro.  We incurred an operating loss of $1,141,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to an operating loss of $669,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in operating loss was primarily related to the decrease in gross profit.  Excluding the operating loss of $341,000 related to Eyefly, which has launched its web site, www.eyefly.com in June 2011, total operating loss increased by over 19% compared to the second quarter of 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, total operating expenses decreased to $8,634,000, from $8,647,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Excluding $358,000 of operating costs related to the Eyefly Web site, total operating expenses decreased by over 4% compared to the second quarter of 2010.  As a percentage of net sales, total operating expenses decreased to 35.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 42.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Total selling and fulfillment expenses increased slightly to 19.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 19.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Total general and administrative expenses decreased to 8.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 9.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Total marketing expenses (including staff related costs) as a percentage of net sales decreased to 8.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 13.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Total marketing expenses (excluding staff related costs) decreased to $1,757,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $2,601,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Total marketing expenses (excluding staff related costs) decreased primarily as a result of reduction in offline marketing expenditures related to television advertising and a reduction in online social media programs as compared to the second quarter of 2010.

Our reserve for returns and credit card chargebacks decreased to 37.5% of gross sales for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 40.1% for the second quarter of 2010.  The decrease was primarily caused by a reduction in our overall return rate, which in part was also attributable to a bulk sale of inventory to a third-party that positively impacted the return rate by reducing the return rate by 1.3%.  There can be no assurance that this trend in the reduction of overall return rate will continue.

At June 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $153,811,000. The cumulative net losses and accumulated deficit resulted primarily from operating losses including, but not limited to, the costs associated with developing and marketing our Web site and building our infrastructure, as well as non-cash beneficial conversion charges resulting from decreases in the conversion price of our preferred stock and the payment of dividends to holders of our preferred stock.

We also measure and evaluate ourselves against certain other key operational metrics. The following table, which excludes Eyefly and a sale of inventory to a third party as discussed further below, sets forth our actual results based on these other metrics for the three months ended June 30th, as indicated below:

In addition to the financial statement items and metrics listed above, which are non-GAAP financial measurements, we also report gross sales, another non-GAAP financial measure.  We define gross sales as the total dollar amount of orders received by customers (including shipping and handling) net of customer credits, but before any reserves are taken for returns or bad debt.  We believe that the presentation of gross sales is useful to investors because (a) it provides an alternative measure of the total demand for the products sold by us and (b) it provides a basis upon which to measure the percentage of total demand that is reserved for both returns and bad debt.  Management uses the gross sales measure for these same reasons.

Net sales: Gross sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by over 12% to $38,435,000, from $34,294,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a provision for returns and credit card chargebacks and other discounts of $14,398,000, or approximately 37.5% of gross sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the provision for returns and credit card chargebacks and other discounts was $13,749,000, or approximately 40.1% of gross sales. The decrease in this provision as a percentage of gross sales resulted from a reduction in our return rate, which was partially attributable to an opportunistic sale of inventory during the quarter.  There can be no assurance that this trend will continue.

After the necessary provisions for returns and credit card chargebacks, our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $24,037,000. This represents an increase of approximately 17% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, in which net sales totaled $20,545,000. The increase in net sales resulted primarily from an 11% increase in new customers acquired during the quarter as well as an increase in average order size to $315.45 in the second quarter of 2011, as compared $310.39 in the second quarter of 2010, and the reduction in return rates discussed above.   Included in net sales for the quarter was an opportunistic sale of inventory to a third-party in the amount of approximately $1,331,000, which also positively impacted the return rate by reducing the return rate by approximately 1.3%.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, revenue from shipping and handling (which is included in net sales) also increased approximately 7.0% to $1,157,000, from $1,080,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Shipping and handling revenue increased primarily as a result of an increase in customer orders compared to the second quarter of 2010.

Cost of sales:  Cost of sales consists of the cost of product sold to customers, in-bound and out-bound shipping costs, inventory reserves, commissions and packing materials. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $16,544,000, resulting in a gross profit margin percentage of approximately 31.2%. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $12,567,000, resulting in a gross profit margin percentage of 38.8%. Gross profit decreased by approximately 6.1% to $7,493,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $7,978,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in both our gross

profit and gross profit margin percentage was attributable to lower product margins related to our sales of luxury designer merchandise, which historically have lower gross margins compared to contemporary merchandise, an increase in promotional incentives during the second quarter of 2011.  Furthermore, gross profit margin percentage was also negatively impacted by currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Euro.

Selling and fulfillment expenses:  Selling and fulfillment expenses increased by approximately 17.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Selling and fulfillment expenses, which include a total of $205,000 of costs related to Eyefly for the three months ended June 30, 2011, were comprised of the following:

As a percentage of net sales, total selling and fulfillment expenses increased slightly to 19.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 19.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Operating expenses include all costs related to inventory management, fulfillment, customer service, and credit card processing. Operating expenses increased by 14.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of increases in variable costs associated with fulfillment costs (e.g., picking and packing orders and processing returns), credit card fees associated with an increase in average order size and net sales, salary and salary related expenses related to Eyefly personnel and fees associated with our customer service call center.
 
Technology expenses consist primarily of staff related costs, amortization of capitalized costs and Web site hosting expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, technology expenses increased by 14.5% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was attributable to an increase in depreciation expense of $165,000 and an increase in Web site hosting expenses of $39,000.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in software support expenses of approximately $63,000.

E-Commerce expenses include expenses related to our photo design studio, image processing, and Web site design. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, e-commerce expenses increased by approximately 30.1% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in salary and salary related expenses of $95,000, expenses associated with photo shoots related to the Eyefly Web site of $71,000 and short-term staffing expenses of $57,000.

Marketing expenses:  Marketing expenses (including staff related costs) decreased by 26.5% to $2,098,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $2,855,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Total marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 include $112,000 of marketing expenses related to Eyefly.

Marketing expenses include expenses related to (a) online marketing programs, which consist of social media programs, online integration partnerships, paid search, and fees paid to marketing affiliates and comparison engines, (b) offline marketing programs, which consist of direct mail campaigns, television advertising and production costs, as well as (c) staff related costs. As a percentage of net sales, our marketing expenses decreased to 8.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 13.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, total marketing expenses (excluding staff related costs) decreased by 32.4% to $1,757,000 from $2,601,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in total marketing expenses (excluding staff related costs) was primarily attributable to a reduction in offline marketing expenditures related to television advertising and a reduction in online social media programs as compared to the second quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expenses:  General and administrative expenses include merchandising, finance and administrative salaries and related expenses, insurance costs, accounting and legal fees, depreciation and other office related expenses.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased slightly to $1,927,000, as compared to $1,866,000
 
 
15

 
 
for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a decrease in Delaware franchise taxes of $55,000, a decrease in amortization expenses related to leasehold improvements of $52,000 and a decrease in expenses related to insurance premiums of $24,000.  These decreases were partially offset by increases in salary and salary related expenses of $162,000 and professional fees of $51,000.

As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to 8.0%, from 9.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Loss from operations:  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred an operating loss of $1,141,000 compared to an operating loss of $669,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Other interest expense, net: Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to $4,000 from $13,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. These amounts related primarily to interest income earned on our cash balances.
 
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to $59,000 compared to $68,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Interest expense consists primarily of fees paid in connection with our credit facility.

We also measure and evaluate ourselves against certain other key operational metrics. The following table, which excludes Eyefly and a sale of inventory to a third party as discussed further below, sets forth our actual results based on these other metrics for the six months ended June 30th, as indicated below:

Net sales: Gross sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by over 8% to $73,415,000 from $67,529,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a provision for returns and credit card chargebacks and other discounts of $27,685,000 or approximately 37.7% of gross sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the provision for returns and credit card chargebacks and other discounts was $26,744,000, or approximately 39.6% of gross sales.

The decrease in this provision as a percentage of gross sales resulted from a reduction in our return rate.  There can be no assurance that this trend will continue.

After the necessary provisions for returns and credit card chargebacks, our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $45,730,000. This represents an increase of approximately 12.1% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, in which net sales totaled $40,785,000. The increase in net sales resulted primarily from a 7.8% increase in new customers and a 3.8% increase in average order size to $305.97 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $294.70 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue from shipping and handling (which is included in net sales) increased approximately 6.4% to $2,275,000 from $2,138,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Shipping and handling revenue increased primarily as a result of an increase in the number of customer orders as compared to 2010.

Cost of sales: Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $30,042,000 resulting in a gross margin percentage of approximately 34.3%. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $24,470,000, resulting in a gross margin percentage of 40.0%. Gross profit decreased by approximately 3.8%, to $15,688,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $16,315,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in both our gross profit and gross profit margin percentage was attributable to lower product margins related to our sales of luxury designer merchandise, an increase in promotional incentives during the second quarter of 2011.  Furthermore, gross profit margin percentage was also negatively impacted by currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Euro.

Selling and fulfillment expenses:  Selling and fulfillment expenses increased by approximately 12.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Selling and fulfillment expenses, which include a total of $273,000 of costs related to Eyefly for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were comprised of the following:

As a percentage of net sales, total selling and fulfillment expenses remained at 19.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Operating expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011 by approximately 9.2% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of increases in variable costs associated with fulfillment costs (e.g., picking and packing orders and processing returns), credit card fees associated with an increase in average order size and net sales, salary and salary related expenses related to Eyefly personnel and fees associated with our customer service call center.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, technology expenses increased by approximately 11.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was attributable to an increase in depreciation expenses, included in technology expenses, of approximately $291,000 and Web site hosting expenses of $39,000.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in software support expenses of approximately $102,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, e-commerce expenses increased by approximately 20.4% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of increases in expenses relating to salary and salary related expenses of $135,000, expenses associated with photo shoots related to the Eyefly Web site of $71,000, short-term staffing expenses of $61,000 and costs associated with the development of new Web Site features and functionalities of $51,000.

Marketing expenses:  Marketing expenses (including staff related costs) decreased by approximately 21.7% to $5,098,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $6,507,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.   Total marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 include $126,000 of marketing expenses related to Eyefly.

As a percentage of net sales, total marketing expenses (including staff related costs) decreased to 11.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 16.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, total marketing expenses (excluding staff related costs) decreased by 25.5% to $4,375,000 from $5,877,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in total marketing expenses (excluding staff related costs) was primarily attributable to a reduction in offline marketing expenditures related to television advertising and a reduction in online social media programs as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

General and administrative expenses:  General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased slightly to $4,039,000 as compared to $3,957,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of an increase in professional fees of $185,000 and amounts paid in connection with the settlement of a patent infringement claim, which were partially offset by a decrease in amortization expenses related to leasehold improvements of $161,000 and a decrease in Delaware franchise taxes of $104,000.

As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to approximately 8.8% from 9.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Loss from operations:  Operating loss increased in the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $2,395,000 from $2,124,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Other interest expense, net: Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to $11,000 from $24,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $162,000 compared to $125,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Liquidity And Capital Resources
 
General
 
At June 30, 2011, we had approximately $3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $10.4 million and $11.6 million at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Working capital, which is computed as total current assets less total current liabilities and represents a measure of operating liquidity, at June 30, 2011 and 2010, was $24.7 million and $27.8 million, respectively.  Working capital at December 31, 2010 was $26.5 million.  As of June 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $153.8 million.  We have incurred negative cash flows and cumulative net losses since inception.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011, compared to December 31, 2010, are primarily related to normal increases in working capital requirements related to changes in operating assets and liabilities, which includes increases in inventory purchases of approximately $5.6 million, in advance of and, to support the fourth quarter.  This increase in inventory purchases was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of approximately $3.9 million related to the timing of invoices and payments.

We believe that our existing cash balance, combined with working capital and the funds available from our credit facility will be sufficient to enable us to meet planned expenditures through at least the next 12 months.  There can be no assurance that we will achieve or sustain positive cash flows from operations or profitability.

We have also committed additional capital contributions of up to $312,000 that we have agreed to make to our majority-owned subsidiary, Eyefly, upon request.
 
We believe that in order to grow our business, we may need to make additional commitments in technology, inventory and advertising in the future.  However, our budget is subject to a number of factors, including our results of operations.
 
Credit Facility
 
We have a credit facility with Wells Fargo Retail Finance LLC (“Wells Fargo”), which was amended and restated on June 17, 2011 (“Restated Credit Facility”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Credit Facility, the terms have been amended to (i) renew the term of the Restated Credit Facility for a 3 year term with a maturity date of June 17, 2014; (ii) decrease the standby and documentary letter of credit fees from 3.25% and 2.75%, respectively to 2.75% and 2.25%, respectively; and (iii) change the rate at which interest accrues on the average daily amount under the Restated Credit Facility during the preceding month to
 
 
18

 
 
a per annum rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.50% from prime rate plus 0.75%, or, LIBOR plus 2.75% from LIBOR plus 3.25%.
 
Wells Fargo provides us with a revolving loan and issues letters of credit in favor of suppliers or factors.  The Restated Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. Availability under the Restated Credit Facility is determined by a formula that takes into account specified percentages of our inventory and accounts receivable. The maximum availability is currently $7,500,000, but can be increased to $12,500,000 at our request, subject to certain conditions.  As of June 30, 2011, total availability under the Restated Credit Facility was approximately $7.5 million of which $3.0 million was committed for letters of credit in favor of suppliers, leaving approximately $4.5 million available for further borrowings. The terms of the Restated Credit Facility contains a material adverse change clause.  In the event of a material adverse change in our financial condition, we would not be able to obtain additional borrowings under the Restated Credit Facility and existing borrowings would become due and payable.
 
Both availability under our Restated Credit Facility and our operating cash flows are affected by the payment terms that we receive from suppliers and service providers, and the extent to which suppliers require us to provide credit support under our Restated Credit Facility.  In some instances, new vendors may require prepayments. We may make prepayments in order to open up these new relationships, or to gain access to inventory that would not otherwise be available to us. In addition, from time to time we make prepayments in connection with our advertising campaign, as in some circumstances we need to pay in advance of media placements. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $2,739,000 of prepaid inventory and approximately $158,000 of prepaid marketing expenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheet compared to $893,000 and $48,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We have assessed our vulnerability to certain market risks, including interest rate risk associated with financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we have determined that the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations related to these financial instruments do not pose a material risk to us.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
