Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our system of internal control is evaluated on a cost benefit basis and is designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that reported financial information is materially accurate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 28, 2006.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of January 28, 2006 was audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is provided on page F-3 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During fiscal 2005, the Company implemented a new perpetual inventory system. Although the Company did not replace its financial inventory system, all unit inventory transactions are now processed by the new perpetual system and then fed to the legacy financial system for costing and posting to the general ledger. The new system was subject to review during its implementation phase, and audit and validation during the controls self-assessment process. As a result

Other than the change discussed above, during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9A – Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this review, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 29, 2005.

 

As part of these disclosure controls and procedures, we review the appropriateness of our accounting policies. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we initiated a reassessment of our policy related to the accounting for operating leases with scheduled rent increases. We determined that our policy should be corrected to recognize minimum rent payments on a straight-line basis beginning with the time we take possession of the premises, instead of the previous policy of using the store opening date. The previously reported financial statements included in this Form 10-K have been restated to reflect this correction.

 

During fiscal 2003, we also reassessed our accounting policy that classified a portion of our lease incentives as a reduction of leasehold improvements. Effective February 1, 2004, we prospectively changed our accounting policy to treat lease incentives received as deferred lease incentives. The controls related to the application of this new policy were evaluated and deemed to be operating effectively as of January 29, 2005. We corrected the prior year financial statements in conjunction with the restatement.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our system of internal control is evaluated on a cost benefit basis and is designed to provide reasonable, not absolute assurance that reported financial information is materially accurate.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 29, 2005.

 

In reaching its conclusion that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 29, 2005, management carefully considered the facts and circumstances surrounding the restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

 

During fiscal 2003, we reassessed our accounting policy that classified a portion of our lease incentives as a reduction of leasehold improvements. Effective February 1, 2004, we prospectively changed our accounting policy

to treat lease incentives received as deferred lease incentives. The controls related to the application of this new policy were evaluated and deemed to be operating effectively as of January 29, 2005. We corrected the prior year financial statements in conjunction with the restatement.

 

A control deficiency in monitoring compliance with generally accepted accounting principles in the area of accounting for operating leases with scheduled rent increases was detected during our assessment process that resulted in cumulative, non-cash adjustments that would have been material to the financial performance of fiscal 2004. As a result, management decided to restate previously issued financial statements to provide transparency as to the effect of the correction on the prior period results, and enhance the comparability of the prior financial information.

 

The impact of this correction on the periods subject to restatement was immaterial. Substantially all of the adjustment related to periods prior to 2002, and the correcting cumulative adjustment was also immaterial to shareholders’ equity as of February 2, 2002. As a result, management concluded that this control deficiency was not a material weakness.

 

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005 was audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is incorporated herein by reference to page 40 of the 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders included as Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During fiscal 2004, the Company initiated a company-wide implementation of a new integrated financial application software system. As of January 29, 2005, substantially all of the Company’s businesses were using the new system. Management believes the new system represents an improvement to the internal control environment. The new system was subject to review during its implementation phase, and audit and validation during the controls self assessment process. As a result of these evaluations, it was concluded that the design and effectiveness of the controls over the new system was functioning effectively.

 

Other than the above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
