Financial Summary
Advanced Marketing Services is a distributor of general interest books to the membership warehouse clubs and certain specialty retailers. For the three months ended 6/30/01, net sales fell 1% to $147 million. Net income rose 3% to $3.1 million. Revenues reflect the lack of bestseller authors and lower 'Harry Potter IV' and 'The Indwelling' sales. Net income benefitted from increased sales volume of higher margin products and improved operating margins.
