Lease Commitments.

We have entered into capital leases for certain property.  At October 28, 2017, the total capital lease obligations were $3.0 million, of which $0.6 million was included in short-term capital lease obligations and $2.4 million was included in other liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.  At January 28, 2017, the total capital lease obligations were $3.5 million, of which $0.6 million was included in short-term capital lease obligations and $2.9 million was included in other liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2017, we opened 13 stores and closed 11 stores, thus increasing our lease commitments by a net of two retail stores.  The stores we opened have initial lease termination dates between October 2022 and November 2027.
 
Annual Bonuses and Equity Incentive Awards.

Specified officers and corporate employees of our Company are eligible to receive annual bonuses, based on measures of Company operating performance.  At October 28, 2017 and January 28, 2017, there was $1.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, of annual bonus related expenses included in accrued payroll expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, the Compensation Committee of the Board has placed performance criteria on awards of restricted stock units (PSUs) to our "named executive officers" as determined in accordance with Item 402(a) of Regulation S-K.  The performance criteria are tied to performance targets with respect to future return on invested capital and earnings before interest and taxes over a specified period of time.  These PSUs are expensed under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, and are evaluated each quarter to determine the probability that the performance conditions set within will be met.

Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies.

If we believe that a loss is both probable and estimable for a particular matter, the loss is accrued in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450, Contingencies.  No material amounts were accrued at October 28, 2017 or January 28, 2017 pertaining to legal proceedings or other contingencies.
