Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our largest source of cash flows is cash collections from the sale of our merchandise. Our primary uses of cash include merchandise inventory purchases, occupancy expenses, personnel related expenses, payment of taxes, and purchases of property and equipment.

As of May 2, 2009, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $1.7 billion. Our cash flow generation remains healthy and our cash position remains strong. We believe that current cash balances and cash flows from our operations will be adequate to support our business operations, capital expenditures, and the payment of dividends. We are also able to supplement near-term liquidity, if necessary, with the existing $500 million revolving credit facility.
