Beginning in fiscal 2012, the Company will report comparable store sales results inclusive of our on-line store. The Company believes that given the similar nature and process of the inventory planning, allocation and return policy for the on-line store and all other retail stores, the inclusion of the on-line store is a more meaningful way of reporting the Company's comparable store sales results. In addition, the Company has been implementing cross-channel marketing initiatives, which benefit all retail sales, including our on-line store. Comparable store sales for fiscal year 2011 and 2010, inclusive of the on-line store sales, would have increased by 0.2% and 0.6% respectively.
