Note E: Income Taxes

Effective February 4, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 which prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely–than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company established a $26.3 million reserve for unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of $6.0 million of related interest. The reserve was classified as a long-term liability and included in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company also recognized a reduction in retained earnings of $7.4 million and certain other deferred income tax assets and liabilities were reclassified.

As of August 2, 2008, the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is $24.6 million inclusive of $6.7 million of related interest. The Company accounts for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a part of its provision for taxes on earnings. If recognized, $17.8 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The difference between the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the amounts that would impact the effective tax rate relates to amounts attributable to deferred income tax assets and liabilities. These amounts are net of federal and state income taxes.

During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the statute of limitations may lapse pertaining to positions taken by the Company in prior year tax returns. As a result, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease, which would reduce the provision for taxes on earnings by up to $2.0 million, net of federal tax benefits.

The Company is currently open to audit by the Internal Revenue Service under the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2004 through 2007. The Company’s state income tax returns are open to audit under various statutes for fiscal years 2003 through 2007. Certain state tax returns are currently under audit by state tax authorities. The Company does not expect that the results of these audits will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note E: Income Taxes

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48. This statement clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s consolidated financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely–than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Effective February 4, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. As a result, the Company established a $26.3 million reserve for unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of $6.0 million of related interest. The reserve is classified as a long-term liability and included in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company also recognized a reduction in retained earnings of $7.4 million and certain other deferred income tax assets and liabilities were reclassified.

As of November 3, 2007, the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is $28.1 million inclusive of $6.2 million of related interest. The Company accounts for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a part of its provision for taxes on earnings. If recognized, $16.5 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The difference between the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the amounts that would impact the effective tax rate relates to amounts attributable to deferred income tax assets and liabilities. These amounts are net of federal and state income taxes.

During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the statute of limitations may lapse pertaining to positions taken by the Company in prior year tax returns. As a result, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease, which would reduce the provision for taxes on earnings by up to $3.0 million, net of federal tax benefits.

The Company is currently open to audit by the Internal Revenue Service under the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. The Company’s state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years 2003 through 2006. Certain state tax returns are currently under audit by the state tax authorities. The Company does not expect the result of these audits to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
