(1) The increase in accrued advertising costs is principally a result of our increased customer acquisition and retention promotion costs.
(2) The increase in accrued compensation costs is principally a result of our expansion in headcount and the associated increase in payroll and benefit related costs to support our growth.
(3) The increase in accrued income taxes and indirect taxes is principally a result of the timing of payment of indirect taxes and the seasonality of related revenue.
(4) The increase in accrued shipping costs is principally a result of the increase in order volume related to the sale of seasonal products.
(5) The increase in other accrued expenses is principally as a result of our acquisitions.
