venture, together with a companion license arrangement, will be terminated in February 2009 unless the Company successfully concludes ongoing negotiations and enters into an arrangement with a third party to transfer its joint venture interest for an assumption by the third party of future joint venture liabilities.

As of March 1, 2008, the Company’s investment balance related to the joint venture totaled $3,786. The Company will continue to recognize its proportionate share of Eddie Bauer Germany’s equity earnings or losses until the termination of the joint venture arrangement in February 2009. As a result of the termination notice, the Company is currently assessing the fair value of its investment to determine if an other than temporary decline in value has occurred.
