Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost,less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Significant additions and improvements to property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Major renewals or replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated. Owned property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets: maximum of 50 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Property and equipment under capital leases and improvements to leased premises are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Capitalized software reflects certain costs related to software developed for internal use that are capitalized and amortized. After substantial completion of the project, the costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a 2 to 7 year period. Capitalized software, net of accumulated amortization, is included in property and equipment and was $23 million at January 31, 2009 and $22 million at February 2, 2008.

under capital leases and improvements to leased premises are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Capitalized software reflects certain costs related to software developed for internal use that are capitalized and amortized. After substantial completion of the project, the costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a 2 to 11 year period. Capitalized software, net of accumulated amortization, is included in property and equipment and was $50 million at January 29, 2005 and $55 million at January 31, 2004.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS No. 143”) as of February 2, 2003. The statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset shall be increased by the same amount as the liability and that amount will be amortized over the useful life of the underlying long-lived asset. The difference between the fair value and the value of the ultimate liability will be accreted over time using the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate in effect when the liability is initially recognized. Asset retirement obligations of the Company may at any time include structural alterations to store locations and equipment removal costs from distribution centers required by certain leases. On February 2, 2003, the Company recorded a liability of $2 million for the expected present value of future retirement obligations, increased property and equipment by $1 million and recognized a $1 million after tax charge for the cumulative effect of the accounting change.
