These excerpts taken from the FL 10-K filed Mar 31, 2008. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), the Company recognizes an impairment loss when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived tangible and intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists, a triggering event, comprises measurable operating performance criteria at the division level as well as qualitative measures. If an analysis is necessitated by the occurrence of a triggering event, the Company uses assumptions, which are predominately identified from the Company’s three-year strategic plans, in determining the impairment amount. The calculation of fair value of long-lived assets is based on estimated expected discounted 19 future cash flows by store, which is generally measured by discounting the expected future cash flows at the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. Management believes its policy is reasonable and is consistently applied. Future expected cash flows are based upon estimates that, if not achieved, may result in significantly different results. During 2007, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $124 million primarily to write-down long-lived assets such as store fixtures and leasehold improvements for the Company’s U.S. store operations pursuant to SFAS No. 144. The Company is required to perform an impairment review of its goodwill at least annually. The Company has chosen to perform this review at the beginning of each fiscal year, and it is done in a two-step approach. The initial step requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. The second step — to evaluate goodwill of a reporting unit for impairment — is only required if the carrying value of that reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units exceeded its carrying value as of the beginning of the year. The Company used a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and market-based approach to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The latter requires judgment and uses one or more methods to compare the reporting unit with similar businesses, business ownership interests or securities that have been sold. During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company performed reviews of its U.S. Athletic stores’ goodwill, as a result of the SFAS No. 144 recoverability analysis. These analyses did not result in an impairment charge. Impairment of Long-Lived In 19 | ||||||||||

This excerpt taken from the FL 10-K filed Mar 29, 2005. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company
recognizes an impairment loss when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived tangible and intangible assets with finite lives may
not be recoverable. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists, a triggering event, comprises measurable operating
performance criteria as well as qualitative measures. If an analysis is necessitated by the occurrence of a triggering event, the Company uses
assumptions, which are predominately identified from the Company’s three-year strategic plans, in determining the impairment amount. The
calculation of fair value of long-lived assets is based on estimated expected discounted future cash flows by store, which is generally measured by
discounting the expected future cash flows at the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. Management believes its policy is reasonable and is
consistently applied. Future expected cash flows are based upon estimates that, if not achieved, may result in significantly different results.
Long-lived tangible assets and intangible assets with finite lives primarily include property and equipment and intangible lease acquisition
costs.
The Company is required to perform an impairment
review of its goodwill, at least annually. The Company has chosen to perform this review at the beginning of each fiscal year, and it is done in a
two-step approach. The initial step requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. The second step
— to evaluate goodwill of a reporting unit for impairment — is only required if the carrying value of that reporting unit exceeds its
estimated fair value. The fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units exceeded its carrying value as of February 1, 2004. The Company used
a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and market-based approach to determine the
15 fair value of a reporting unit. The latter requires judgment and uses one or more methods to compare the reporting unit with similar businesses, business ownership interests or securities that have been sold. | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
