6. Business Combinations:  On December 21, 2010, we acquired the Lilly Pulitzer brand and operations, as described in Note 14 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2010. As of October 29, 2011, we have not finalized our allocation of purchase price to the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities, and we will revise our allocation through the one year period following the closing of the transaction, as appropriate, as we obtain new information about the fair values of these assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date, including the contingent consideration. During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we did not record any significant adjustments to the initial purchase price allocation included in Note 14 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2010.  As of October 29, 2011, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $12.5 million compared to $10.5 million as of the date of acquisition, with the change in fair value representing the passage of time from the date of acquisition as we approach the dates of the anticipated payments in the future.
