Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008 have been prepared by The Gap, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”), without audit. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, statements of earnings, and cash flows at May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008, and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2009 has been derived from our audited financial statements.

We identify our operating segments based on the way we manage and evaluate our business activities. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we have two reportable segments: Stores and Direct.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these interim financial statements. We suggest that you read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the fifty-two week period ending January 30, 2010.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 29, 2006, and April 30, 2005, the interim condensed consolidated statements of income and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen week periods ended April 29, 2006 and April 30, 2005, have been prepared by The Gap, Inc. (the “company,” “we,” and “our”), without audit. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at April 29, 2006 and April 30, 2005 and for all periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 28, 2006 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these interim financial statements. We suggest that you read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2006.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. We reclassified $10 million of cash used for operating activities to cash used for investing activities representing the non-cash portion of property and equipment purchases for the thirteen week period ended April 30, 2005 in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. This reclassification had no effect on the net decrease in cash and equivalents or on net earnings, as previously reported.

In fiscal 2005, the company implemented a new inventory system and effective January 29, 2006 (the beginning of fiscal 2006), the company changed its inventory flow assumption from the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method to the weighted average cost method (“WAC”). The company has determined that WAC is a preferable method because the new inventory system and method improves the overall accuracy of the company’s accounting for inventory. The change in inventory accounting method did not have a material impact on the fiscal 2006 financial statements and because the effect on prior periods presented is not material, they have not been restated as would be required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (“SFAS”) 154, “ Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.”

The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the fifty-three week period ending February 3, 2007.
