This excerpt taken from the BBBY 10-K filed May 12, 2009. ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of February 28, 2009, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our management in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of February 28, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.
(c) Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
KPMG LLP issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.
(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

(a) Review of Equity Grants and Procedures and Related Matters In June 2006, the Companys Board of Directors appointed a special committee of independent directors to conduct an investigation with respect to the setting of exercise prices for employee stock options and related matters. Among the committees findings were that the Companys stock option granting process had control and other deficiencies. The committees report made recommendations for improvements in the process of granting stock options and restricted share awards. On October 9, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted the special committees recommendations, with such additional improvements in the Companys stock option and restricted stock processes as the Board and special committee may approve. Company management prepared and presented to the Board an implementation plan with respect to the recommendations, which the Board approved on December 8, 2006. Substantially all of the recommendations have been implemented and the Company expects to fully implement the recommendations during fiscal 2007. The Company filed a Form 8-K dated October 10, 2006, which provides further details regarding the special committees review including certain deficiencies in controls and procedures regarding the stock option and restricted share process. (b) Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 2, 2007 (the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Review of Equity Grants and Procedures and Related Matters On June 19, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors appointed a special committee of two independent members of the Board of Directors, with authority, among other things, to conduct an investigation with respect to the setting of exercise prices for employee stock options and related matters as the special committee deemed appropriate. The special committee retained independent legal counsel who engaged outside accounting advisors to assist with the review. This review was completed and on October 9, 2006, the special committee presented its report to the Companys Board of Directors. Among the findings in the report were that the Companys stock option granting process had control and other deficiencies. The report made recommendations for improvements in the process of granting stock options and restricted share awards. On October 9, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted the special committees recommendations, with such additional improvements in the Companys stock option and restricted stock processes as the Board and special committee may approve. Company management prepared and presented to the Board an implementation plan with respect to the recommendations, which the Board approved on December 8, 2006. Certain of the recommendations were capable of immediate implementation and have been implemented, including the grant of all equity grants for new hires, promotions or other events on the same fixed date each month (or the following trading day should such date fall on a weekend or holiday). The Company expects to fully implement the recommendations during fiscal 2007. Though not required by the recommendations, this implementation will also include the granting of annual grants on the same fixed date each year (or the following trading day should such date fall on a weekend or holiday). The Company filed a Form 8-K dated October 10, 2006, which provides further details regarding the special committees review including certain deficiencies in controls and procedures regarding the stock option and restricted share process.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 26, 2005. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of February 26, 2005, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, issued an audit report on our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 26, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
