NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in Thousands Except Share Data and Per Share Amounts)

(Unaudited)

A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gordmans Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, Gordmans Intermediate Holding Corp., Gordmans, Inc., Gordmans Management Company, Inc., Gordmans Distribution Company, Inc. and Gordmans LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year whereby the fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2013 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. All other condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to summarize fairly our financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – The accounting policies followed by the Company are reflected in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, included in our fiscal year 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013. Due to the seasonality of our business, the results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year. In addition, quarterly results of operations can vary based upon the timing and amount of net sales and costs associated with the opening of new stores.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement – Effective February 3, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance on intangible asset impairment testing that simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This new guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether further impairment testing is necessary. This guidance is effective for the annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets for the current fiscal year ending February 1, 2014, which is performed at the fiscal year-end date. The Company does not expect this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

B. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

D. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

Revolving Line of Credit Facility – The Company has a $60.0 million revolving line of credit facility dated February 20, 2009, as amended effective June 1, 2011, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (successor in merger with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC), CIT Bank and PNC Bank (“WF LOC”). The credit facility expires on June 1, 2015. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the WF LOC as of May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013.

Borrowings under this facility bear interest at various rates based on the excess availability and time of year, with two rate options at the discretion of management as follows: (1) For base rate advances, borrowings bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.00% during the non-seasonal period and the prime rate plus 1.75% during the seasonal period. When excess availability is $25.0 million or greater, borrowings for base rate advances bear interest at the prime rate plus 0.75% during the non-seasonal period and the prime rate plus 1.50% during the seasonal period; (2) For LIBOR rate advances, borrowings bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% during the non-seasonal period and the LIBOR rate plus 2.75% during the seasonal period. When excess availability is $25.0 million or greater, borrowings for LIBOR advances bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 1.75% during the non-seasonal period and the LIBOR rate plus 2.50% during the seasonal period. Borrowings available under the WF LOC may not exceed the borrowing base (consisting of specified percentages of credit card receivables and eligible inventory, less applicable reserves). The Company must maintain minimum excess availability equal to at least 10% of the borrowing base, or $6.0 million. The Company had $59.2 million and $51.0 million available to borrow at May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013, respectively. Borrowings under this facility would have borne an interest rate of 4.00% under the base rate option at May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013. The Company had outstanding letters of credit included in the borrowing base totaling approximately $0.8 million and $0.2 million as of May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013, respectively.

An unused line fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.375% of the sum of the average daily unused revolving commitment plus the average daily unused letter of credit commitment. A customary fee is also payable to the administrative agent under the facility on an annual basis.

Borrowings are secured by the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable and all other personal property, except as specifically excluded in the agreement. Among other provisions, the revolving line of credit facility contains certain financial covenants restricting the amount of capital expenditures and dividends that can be paid without consent from the lenders. As of May 4, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

The loan, guaranty and security agreement relating to the Company’s revolving line of credit facility includes a negative covenant that restricts dividends and other upstream distributions by the Company and its subsidiaries to the extent the Company does not meet minimum excess availability thresholds. Exceptions to this covenant include dividends or other upstream distributions: (i) by subsidiaries of Gordmans, Inc. to Gordmans, Inc. and its other subsidiaries, (ii) that consist of repurchases of stock of employees in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year, (iii) to the Company to pay federal, provincial, state and local income taxes and franchise taxes solely arising out of the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iv) to the Company to pay certain reasonable directors’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses, reasonable and customary indemnities to directors, officers and employees and other expenses in connection with the ordinary corporate governance, overhead, legal and accounting and maintenance and (v) additional distributions and dividends in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 during the term of the facility. The loan, guaranty and security agreement also includes a negative covenant that restricts subsidiaries of the Company from making any loans to the Company.

E. LEASES

The Company has entered into short and long term capital and operating lease agreements. These leases relate to retail store locations, the distribution centers and the corporate headquarters. The leases expire on various dates through the year 2029 with most of the leases containing renewal options. Leases for retail store locations typically have base lease terms of 10 years with one or more renewal periods, usually for five years. Certain retail store leases contain provisions for additional rent based on varying percentages of net sales.

Future minimum lease payments under operating leases and future obligations under non-cancelable capital leases as of May 4, 2013 are as follows:

	Operating Leases		Capital Leases
Remainder of 2013	$	35,276	$	76
2014		48,310		—
2015		44,426		—
2016		37,026		—

F. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

The Gordmans Stores, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents and other share-based awards. Directors, officers and other associates of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing consulting or advisory services, are eligible for grants under the 2010 Plan. An aggregate of 2,573,086 shares of the Company’s common stock are available under the 2010 Plan, subject to adjustments for stock splits and other actions affecting the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of an option granted under the 2010 Plan will not be less than 100% of the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, provided the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a person holding greater than 10% of the Company’s voting power may not be less than 110% of such fair value on such date. The term of each option may not exceed ten years or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder, five years. There were 578,466 shares of common stock available for future grants under the 2010 Plan at May 4, 2013.

A summary of restricted stock activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 is set forth in the table below:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested, February 2, 2013		168,262		$	8.58
Vested		(8,081	)		2.36
Non-vested, May 4, 2013		160,181		$	8.89

Restricted stock vests at varying rates of 25% per year over four years or 20% per year over five years as applicable. Unrecognized compensation expense on the restricted stock was $1.2 million at May 4, 2013, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $0.1 million.

A summary of stock option activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 is set forth in the table below:

	Number of Stock Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) (thousands)
Outstanding, February 2, 2013		947,592		$	15.47
Granted		4,400			11.93
Exercised		(12,354	)		11.00
Forfeited		(18,520	)		17.25
Outstanding, May 4, 2013		921,118			15.48	8.4 years	$	—
Exercisable, May 4, 2013		176,611			13.70	7.8		—
Vested or expected to vest at May 4, 2013		897,503			15.45	8.4		—

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value for stock options is the difference between the current market value of the Company’s stock as of May 4, 2013 and the option strike price. The stock price at May 4, 2013 was $11.35, which was below the weighted average exercise price for options outstanding, exercisable and vested or expected to vest at May 4, 2013.

The Company received $0.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013, which is reflected as a financing cash inflow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $35 thousand.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate fair value of the options. This model requires an estimate of the volatility of the Company’s share price; however, because the Company’s shares or options were not publicly traded for a significant period of time, the Company determined that it was not practical to estimate the expected volatility of its share price. Thus, the Company accounted for equity share options based on a value calculated using the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index instead of the expected volatility of the entity’s share price. The historical volatility was calculated using comparisons to peers in the Company’s market sector, which was chosen due to the proximity of size and industry to the Company over the expected term of the option.

In determining the expense to be recorded for options, the significant assumptions utilized in applying the Black-Scholes option valuation model are the risk-free interest rate, expected term, dividend yield and expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected term used as the assumption in the model. The expected term of the option awards is estimated using the simplified method, or the average of the vesting period and the original contractual term, as it is not practical for the Company to use its historical experience to estimate the expected term because the Company’s shares have not been publicly traded for a significant period of time.

The weighted average assumptions used by the Company in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model for option grants during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 are illustrated in the following table:

	13 Weeks Ended May 4, 2013
Risk-free interest rate		1.25	%
Dividend yield		2.0	%
Expected volatility		35.0	%
Expected life (years)		6.25
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	3.40

Stock options have ten-year contractual terms and vest at varying rates of either 20% per year over five years or 25% per year over four years as applicable. None of the stock options outstanding at May 4, 2013 were subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions. As of May 4, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense on stock options was $2.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.

For the thirteen week periods ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, share-based compensation expense was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

G. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following is a reconciliation of the outstanding shares utilized in the computation of earnings per share:

	13 Weeks Ended May 4, 2013		13 Weeks Ended April 28, 2012
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		19,242,790		19,095,223
Dilutive effect of non-vested stock and stock options		182,092		329,476
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		19,424,882		19,424,699

The anti-dilutive effect of 468,221 and 74,683 stock options has been excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the thirteen week periods ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively.

H. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The following table sets forth non-cash investing activities and other cash flow information:

	13 Weeks Ended May 4, 2013		13 Weeks Ended April 28, 2012
Non-cash investing activities:
Purchases of property and equipment in accrued expenses at the end of the period	$	3,053	$	2,687
Sales of property and equipment pursuant to sale-leaseback accounting		—		5,995
Other cash flow information:
Cash paid for interest		99		45
Cash paid for income taxes, net		79		115

Sales of property and equipment pursuant to sale-leaseback accounting represents the amount of structural assets sold to the landlord at the completion of construction for which the Company was deemed the owner during the construction period, pursuant to sale-leaseback accounting, and for which no cash was received upon transfer of ownership. For the three new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the landlord incurred and paid for all construction costs during the construction period and bore substantially all construction period risk for the landlord owned, or structural assets, during the construction period. As a result, there were no sales of property and equipment to the landlords pursuant to sale-leaseback accounting during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013.

Executive Overview

Gordmans is an everyday value price department store retailer featuring a large selection of the latest brands, fashions and styles at up to 60% off department and specialty store prices every day in a fun, easy-to-shop environment. Our merchandise assortment includes apparel for all ages, accessories (including fragrances), footwear and home fashions. The origins of Gordmans date back to 1915, and as of May 4, 2013, we operated 86 stores in 18 states situated in a variety of shopping center developments, including regional enclosed shopping malls, lifestyle centers and power centers.

We opened three new stores in existing markets during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 compared to opening four new stores in three new markets during the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012.

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. These key measures include net sales and comparable store sales and other individual store performance factors, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net Sales. Net sales reflect our revenues from the sale of our merchandise less returns and discounts and exclusive of sales tax. Net sales include comparable store sales and non-comparable store sales.

Comparable Store Sales. Comparable store sales have been calculated based upon stores that were open at least 16 months as of the end of the reporting period. We also review average sale per transaction and comparable store transactions. Comparable store sales are an important indicator of current operating performance, with higher comparable store sales helping us to leverage our fixed expenses and positively impacting our operating results.

Gross Profit. Gross profit is equal to our net sales minus cost of sales, plus license fee income generated from sales of footwear and maternity apparel in our leased departments. Cost of sales includes the direct cost of purchased merchandise, inventory shrinkage, inventory write-downs and inbound freight to our distribution center. Gross margin measures gross profit as a percentage of our net sales. Our gross profit may not be comparable to other retailers, as some companies include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales while others, like us, exclude a portion of these costs from cost of sales and include those costs in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our gross margin is evaluated in terms of initial markup and the amount of markdowns, with higher initial markup and lower markdowns positively impacting our operating results.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs not included in cost of sales. These expenses include payroll and other expenses related to operations at our corporate office, store expenses, occupancy costs, certain distribution and warehousing costs, pre-opening expenses, depreciation and amortization and advertising expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales is generally higher in lower sales volume periods and lower in higher sales volume periods. Our ability to manage store level and certain other operating expenses directly impacts our operating results.

Overview

Net income for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $3.2 million as compared to net income of $8.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a 10.5% decrease in comparable store sales, a 250 basis point decrease in gross profit margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher net sales attributable to new stores. Below are highlights of our financial results for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013.

• Net sales decreased 1.9% for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012 due to a 10.5% decrease in comparable store sales, partially offset by an increase in non-comparable store sales due to the addition of nine new stores in fiscal year 2012, four of which opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and the three new stores opened during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013.

• Gross profit margin decreased 250 basis points in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012 primarily as a result of higher markdowns to reduce inventory levels.

• Higher selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily attributable to the nine new stores opened in fiscal 2012 and the three new stores opened during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013.

Basis of Presentation and Results of Operations

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gordmans Stores, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Gordmans Intermediate Holding Corp., Gordmans, Inc., Gordmans Management Company, Inc., Gordmans Distribution Company, Inc. and Gordmans LLC.

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 4, 2013 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended April 28, 2012

Net Sales

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 decreased $2.5 million, or 1.9%, to $131.4 million as compared to $133.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012. This decrease was the direct result of a decrease in comparable store sales, as comparable store sales decreased $13.6 million, or 10.5%, primarily due to a low double digit decrease in comparable transactions, which represents our measure for guest traffic, and a low single digit decrease in the average sale per transaction. The comparable store sales decrease represents a continuation of the comparable store sales trend we experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, as comparable store sales remained under pressure in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as we focused on rebuilding our assortments in the areas where we lacked sufficient selection and due to unusual spring weather patterns. From a major merchandising category perspective, Home Fashions experienced a high single digit comparable store sales decrease for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012, while Apparel and Accessories (including Fragrances) both experienced low double digit comparable store sales decreases for the same period.

Non-comparable store sales increased $11.1 million due to the addition of nine new stores in fiscal 2012, four of which opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and the opening of three new stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

License Fees from Leased Departments

License fee income related to sales of merchandise in leased departments was $1.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, which includes license fees from leased departments, for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 decreased $4.5 million, or 7.1%, to $59.0 million as compared to $63.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012. Gross profit margin decreased 250 basis points to 44.9% of net sales as compared to 47.4% of net sales for the first quarter of 2012. Of this decrease, 270 basis points was due to an increase in markdowns as a percentage of net sales during the first quarter of 2013 to clear excess merchandise that resulted from the comparable store sales decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Mark-up on merchandise purchases, which increased 20 bps in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2012 resulting from buying efficiencies and competitive pricing opportunities, partially offset the gross margin deterioration created by higher markdowns.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 increased $3.2 million, or 6.3%, to $53.7 million as compared to $50.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 40.8% as compared to 37.7% for the first quarter of 2012, a 310 bps increase. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to higher store expenses, higher distribution center expenses and higher corporate expenses, associated with a decrease in comparable store sales, as well as higher depreciation expense, partially offset by lower pre-opening expenses.

Store expenses increased $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to increased rent, payroll and benefits, utilities, maintenance and cleaning expenses associated with the nine new stores opened in fiscal

14

2012 and the three new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Store expenses were 26.3% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 24.1% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a 220 basis point increase, primarily resulting from higher rent and real estate, higher payroll and benefits, higher utilities and higher maintenance expenses as a percentage of net sales associated with a decrease in comparable store sales.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.8 million, or 70 basis points as a percentage of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 due to increased property additions associated with new store openings and investments in upgrading our information technology systems, including the implementation of our new ERP merchandising system in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

The $0.3 million increase in distribution center expenses was primarily the result of higher outbound freight delivery charges and higher payroll costs related to the increase in merchandise inventory receipts associated with new store growth. Distribution center expenses were 3.8% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 3.5% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a 30 basis point increase, primarily resulting from higher outbound freight delivery charges and higher payroll costs as a percentage of net sales associated with a decrease in comparable store sales.

Corporate expenses increased $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to higher payroll costs of $0.1 million for the addition of new staff positions to support our growth and merit compensation increases, partially offset by a decrease in accrued management bonuses. Additionally, information technology costs were higher by $0.3 million related to upgrading our information technology systems and supporting our enterprise merchandise system that was implemented in fiscal 2012, offset by a $0.2 million decrease in store recruiting and relocation costs. Corporate expenses were 5.9% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 5.7% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a 20 basis point increase, primarily resulting from higher payroll costs and higher information technology costs as a percentage of net sales associated with a decrease in comparable store sales.

Advertising expenses remained consistent from the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Advertising expenses were 2.1% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Store pre-opening expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 30 basis points as a percentage of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to opening three new stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the four new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012. There were no borrowings on the revolving line of credit during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 or 2012.

Income before Taxes

Income before taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $5.2 million compared to $12.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. As a percentage of net sales, income before taxes was 4.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 9.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $1.9 million compared to income tax expense of $4.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012. The effective income tax rate for both the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was 37.5%. The effective rate differed from the federal enacted rate of 35% primarily due to state taxes, net of federal benefits.

Net Income

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased $4.8 million, or 59.7%, to $3.2 million compared to $8.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. As a percentage of net sales, net income was 2.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 6.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in net income as a percentage of net sales resulted primarily from the comparable store sales decrease, the 250 basis point decrease in gross profit margin and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with our new store growth.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which are typical of retailers that carry a similar merchandise offering. A disproportionate amount of our sales and net income are realized during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season. In fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, 33.3%, 33.6% and 32.6% of our net sales were generated in the fourth

15

quarter. Operating cash flows are typically higher in the fourth fiscal quarter due to inventory related working capital requirements in the third fiscal quarter. During fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, we generated net income during the first nine months of $15.6 million, $15.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and 33.7%, 40.5% and 54.0% of net income was realized in the fourth quarters of fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our business is also subject, at certain times, to calendar shifts, which may occur during key selling periods close to holidays such as Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas and regional fluctuations for events such as sales tax holidays.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital at May 4, 2013 decreased $3.0 million, or 3.6%, to $80.0 million compared to working capital of $82.9 million at February 2, 2013. Our primary ongoing cash requirements are for operating expenses, inventory, capital expenditures related to technology, distribution centers, including the second primary distribution center opening in mid-2014, and existing store improvements, as well as new store capital investment. Our typical investment in a new store is approximately $1.3 million, which represents pre-opening expenses of $0.4 million and inventory of $0.9 million (of which $0.3 million is typically financed through trade payables). The fixed assets and leasehold improvements associated with a new store opening of approximately $1.1 million have typically been financed by landlords through favorable tenant improvement allowances. Our primary sources of funds for our business activities are cash from operations, borrowings under our revolving line of credit facility, tenant improvement allowances and the use of operating leases for new stores.

We had no borrowings under our revolving line of credit facility at May 4, 2013 or February 2, 2013 and had cash and cash equivalents of $49.4 million and $40.8 million as of those dates, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $11.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012. Availability under our revolving line of credit facility increased 16.1% to $59.2 million at May 4, 2013 compared to $51.0 million at February 2, 2013. Stockholders’ equity was $106.1 million as of May 4, 2013 compared to $102.4 million as of February 2, 2013.

During the course of our seasonal business cycle, working capital is needed to support inventory for existing stores, particularly during peak selling seasons. Historically, our working capital needs are lowest in the first quarter and peak late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter in anticipation of the holiday selling season. Management believes that the net cash provided by operating activities, bank borrowings, vendor trade terms, tenant improvement allowances and the use of operating leases for new stores will be sufficient to fund anticipated current and long-term capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

Capital Expenditures

Net capital expenditures during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012 were $9.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Net capital expenditures were comprised of the following (in thousands):

	13 Weeks Ended May 4, 2013			13 Weeks Ended April 28, 2012
Recurring capital expenditures
New and existing stores	$	11,380		$	8,637
Technology-related investments		1,063			2,124
Existing distribution center improvements		—			309
Non-recurring capital expenditures
Second distribution center		1,639			—
New corporate office		138			—
Gross capital expenditures		14,220			11,070
Less: Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions		(5,139	)		(5,995	)
Net capital expenditures	$	9,081		$	5,075

We lease all of our store locations. In certain cases, we negotiate leases whereby we take responsibility for construction of a new store during the construction period and are reimbursed for our costs from the landlord. When this situation occurs, we report the construction costs as part of our capital expenditures and, as reimbursements are received from the landlord for construction costs where we are the accounting owner during the construction period, we report the proceeds received from the landlord as proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $17.6 million, which included net income of $3.2 million and noncash charges of $2.7 million comprised of depreciation and amortization expense of $2.2 million, share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million, $0.1 million of changes in deferred income taxes and amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.1 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 were favorably impacted by an increase in accounts payable of $15.2 million related to inventory purchases and an increase of $4.1 million resulting from lower accounts and landlord receivables primarily due to a decrease in landlord receivables for tenant improvement allowances as the three new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were directly financed by the landlord during the construction period. Net cash provided by operating activities was also favorably impacted by an increase of $2.7 million in accrued expenses primarily due to an increase in new store activity for the three new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the seven new stores opening in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2013, an increase of $1.8 million related to a decrease in income taxes receivable of $1.3 million and an increase of $0.5 million in income taxes payable, and a $1.1 million increase in deferred rent associated with new store growth. These increases in operating cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 were partially offset by cash used to increase inventory of $11.4 million for the spring season and for the three new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a $1.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets related to new store growth and the timing of insurance renewals, and a $0.2 million increase in other assets.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012 was $11.7 million, which included net income of $8.1 million and noncash charges of $2.0 million comprised of depreciation and amortization expense of $1.4 million, changes in deferred taxes of $0.3 million, share-based compensation expense of $0.2 million and amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.1 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012 were favorably impacted by an increase in accounts payable related to inventory purchases of $10.6 million, an increase of $4.4 million resulting from a decrease in income taxes receivable of $2.8 million and an increase of $1.6 million in income taxes payable, and a $1.0 million increase in deferred rent. These increases in operating cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012 were offset by cash used to increase inventory of $10.6 million after the holiday season and for the four new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase in accounts and landlord receivables of $1.8 million primarily due to tenant improvement allowances associated with new store growth, a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $0.9 million, a $0.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $0.2 million increase in other assets.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012 was $9.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Cash of $14.2 million and $11.1 million was used for purchases of property and equipment during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the $11.4 million invested in new and existing stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Of the $11.4 million, $8.8 million was invested in the three new stores opened during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and the seven additional new stores to be opened in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2013 while the remaining $2.6 million was used for fixtures and store improvements for existing stores. This compares to $8.6 million for store investments during the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012, of which $8.5 million was invested in the four new stores opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and five new stores opened in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2012. Although the Company opened three new stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to four new stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, cash invested in new and existing stores during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $0.3 million more than the same period last year as a result of cash invested in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 for the four new stores opening in the second quarter versus three new stores opened in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in cash used in investing activities is also due to the $1.6 million invested in the second primary distribution center opening in mid-2014 for which construction began in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the $0.1 million invested in furniture, fixtures and equipment related to our corporate headquarters, which are being relocated to a new leased building in early 2014. Investments in information technology equipment and software during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $1.1 million compared to $2.1 million during the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012, with the decrease primarily relating to investments in our Oracle enterprise merchandising system which was implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Additionally, existing distribution center improvements were $0 and $0.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively.

17

Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions were $5.1 million and $6.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively, where the Company was deemed the accounting owner of the property and equipment during the new store construction period pursuant to the underlying lease agreement.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $23 thousand during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.3 million during the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012. Cash of $0.1 million and $0.3 million was used during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively, for payments on capital lease and financing agreements. Proceeds of $0.1 million were received during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 in connection with the exercise of stock options.

Existing Credit Facilities

Gordmans, Inc. is the borrower under a loan, guaranty and security agreement dated as of February 20, 2009, as amended June 1, 2011, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (successor in merger with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC) as agent and a lender and certain other lenders party thereto from time to time. Gordmans Stores, Inc., Gordmans Intermediate Holding Corp., Gordmans Distribution Company, Inc., Gordmans Management Company, Inc., and Gordmans, LLC are all guarantors under the loan agreement. The loan agreement provides a revolving line of credit facility for general working capital needs of up to $60.0 million with the ability to increase the maximum available borrowings under the facility to $80.0 million.

The revolving line of credit facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes and is scheduled to expire on June 1, 2015. At May 4, 2013, we had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving line of credit facility and availability of $59.2 million, including letters of credit issued with an aggregate face amount of $0.8 million. There were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit facility during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013.

Interest is payable on borrowings under the revolving line of credit facility monthly at a rate equal to the LIBOR or the base rate as selected by management, plus an applicable margin which ranges from 0.75% to 2.75% and is set quarterly depending upon the seasonal or non-seasonal period and average net availability under the revolving line of credit facility during the previous quarter.

An unused line fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.375% of the sum of the average daily unused revolving commitment plus the average daily unused letter of credit commitment. A customary fee is also payable to the administrative agent under the loan agreement on an annual basis.

The availability of the revolving line of credit facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is comprised of eligible credit card receivables, the liquidation value of eligible landed inventory, eligible distribution center inventory and the liquidation value of eligible in-transit inventory. The amended loan agreement allows us to obtain up to a $15.0 million equipment term loan.

Borrowings under the revolving line of credit facility are secured by the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable and all other personal property, except as specifically excluded in the agreement. Among other provisions, the revolving line of credit facility contains certain financial covenants restricting the amount of capital expenditures and dividends that can be paid without consent from the lenders. As of May 4, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

The loan, guaranty and security agreement relating to the Company’s revolving line of credit facility includes a negative covenant that restricts dividends and other upstream distributions by the Company and its subsidiaries to the extent the Company does not meet minimum excess availability thresholds. Exceptions to this covenant include dividends or other upstream distributions: (i) by subsidiaries of Gordmans, Inc. to Gordmans, Inc. and its other subsidiaries, (ii) that consist of repurchases of stock of employees in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year, (iii) to the Company to pay federal, provincial, state and local income taxes and franchise taxes solely arising out of the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iv) to the Company to pay certain reasonable directors’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses, reasonable and customary indemnities to directors, officers and employees and other expenses in connection with the ordinary corporate governance, overhead, legal and accounting and maintenance and (v) additional distributions and dividends in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 during the term of the facility. The loan, guaranty and security agreement also includes a negative covenant that restricts subsidiaries of the Company from making any loans to the Company.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As noted in the table below, the Company has contractual obligations and commitments as of May 4, 2013 that may affect the financial condition of the Company. However, we believe there is no known trend, demand, commitment, event, or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to occur which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Other than the letters of credit set forth in the table below, the Company had no off-balance-sheet arrangements as of May 4, 2013.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of May 4, 2013:

	Payments Due by Period
	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years
Contractual Obligations:
Capital leases(1)	$	76	$	76	$	—	$	—	$	—
Operating leases(2)(3)		345,662		35,276		92,736		70,228		147,422

Total	$	346,511	$	36,125	$	92,736	$	70,228	$	147,422

⁽¹⁾  Includes principal and interest payments on capital lease obligations.

⁽²⁾ Certain retail store leases contain provisions for additional rent based on varying percentages of sales when sales reach certain thresholds, but are not included in operating lease obligations.

⁽³⁾  Real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance are expenses considered additional rent that can vary from year to year, but are not included in operating lease obligations. These expenses represented approximately 35% of lease expense for our retail stores in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have determined that our most critical accounting policies are those related to revenue recognition, merchandise inventories, long-lived assets, operating leases, self-insurance, share-based compensation and income taxes. We continue to monitor our accounting policies to ensure proper application of current rules and regulations. There have been no significant changes to these policies discussed in our fiscal year 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through borrowings under our revolving line of credit facility which bears interest at variable rates.

Borrowings under the revolving line of credit facility bear interest at the base rate plus 0.75% (4.00% at May 4, 2013) with an option to bear interest at the LIBOR interest rate plus 2.00%. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit facility may not exceed the lesser of a calculated borrowing base or $60.0 million. There were no borrowings during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility at May 4, 2013.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The required certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are included as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The disclosures set forth in this Item 4 contain information concerning the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and changes in internal control over financial reporting referred to in those certifications. Those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 4 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedure

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 4, 2013 to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various legal claims and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of our business, including employment related claims, involving routine claims incidental to our business. Although the outcome of these routine claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our risk factors have not changed materially from those disclosed in our fiscal year 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, could materially affect our business, financial condition or results.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gordmans Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, Gordmans Intermediate Holding Corp., Gordmans, Inc., Gordmans Management Company, Inc., Gordmans Distribution Company, Inc. and Gordmans LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year whereby the fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2013 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. All other condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to summarize fairly our financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – The accounting policies followed by the Company are reflected in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, included in our fiscal year 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013. Due to the seasonality of our business, the results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year. In addition, quarterly results of operations can vary based upon the timing and amount of net sales and costs associated with the opening of new stores.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement – Effective February 3, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance on intangible asset impairment testing that simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This new guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether further impairment testing is necessary. This guidance is effective for the annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets for the current fiscal year ending February 1, 2014, which is performed at the fiscal year-end date. The Company does not expect this guidance to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

F. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

The Gordmans Stores, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents and other share-based awards. Directors, officers and other associates of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing consulting or advisory services, are eligible for grants under the 2010 Plan. An aggregate of 2,573,086 shares of the Company’s common stock are available under the 2010 Plan, subject to adjustments for stock splits and other actions affecting the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of an option granted under the 2010 Plan will not be less than 100% of the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, provided the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a person holding greater than 10% of the Company’s voting power may not be less than 110% of such fair value on such date. The term of each option may not exceed ten years or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder, five years. There were 578,466 shares of common stock available for future grants under the 2010 Plan at May 4, 2013.

A summary of restricted stock activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 is set forth in the table below:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested, February 2, 2013		168,262		$	8.58
Vested		(8,081	)		2.36
Non-vested, May 4, 2013		160,181		$	8.89

Restricted stock vests at varying rates of 25% per year over four years or 20% per year over five years as applicable. Unrecognized compensation expense on the restricted stock was $1.2 million at May 4, 2013, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $0.1 million.

A summary of stock option activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 is set forth in the table below:

	Number of Stock Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) (thousands)
Outstanding, February 2, 2013		947,592		$	15.47
Granted		4,400			11.93

Vested or expected to vest at May 4, 2013		897,503			15.45	8.4		—

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value for stock options is the difference between the current market value of the Company’s stock as of May 4, 2013 and the option strike price. The stock price at May 4, 2013 was $11.35, which was below the weighted average exercise price for options outstanding, exercisable and vested or expected to vest at May 4, 2013.

The Company received $0.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013, which is reflected as a financing cash inflow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 was $35 thousand.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate fair value of the options. This model requires an estimate of the volatility of the Company’s share price; however, because the Company’s shares or options were not publicly traded for a significant period of time, the Company determined that it was not practical to estimate the expected volatility of its share price. Thus, the Company accounted for equity share options based on a value calculated using the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index instead of the expected volatility of the entity’s share price. The historical volatility was calculated using comparisons to peers in the Company’s market sector, which was chosen due to the proximity of size and industry to the Company over the expected term of the option.

In determining the expense to be recorded for options, the significant assumptions utilized in applying the Black-Scholes option valuation model are the risk-free interest rate, expected term, dividend yield and expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected term used as the assumption in the model. The expected term of the option awards is estimated using the simplified method, or the average of the vesting period and the original contractual term, as it is not practical for the Company to use its historical experience to estimate the expected term because the Company’s shares have not been publicly traded for a significant period of time.

The weighted average assumptions used by the Company in applying the Black-Scholes valuation model for option grants during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013 are illustrated in the following table:

	13 Weeks Ended May 4, 2013
Risk-free interest rate		1.25	%
Dividend yield		2.0	%
Expected volatility		35.0	%
Expected life (years)		6.25
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	3.40

Stock options have ten-year contractual terms and vest at varying rates of either 20% per year over five years or 25% per year over four years as applicable. None of the stock options outstanding at May 4, 2013 were subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions. As of May 4, 2013, the unrecognized compensation expense on stock options was $2.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.

For the thirteen week periods ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, share-based compensation expense was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Revolving Line of Credit Facility – The Company has a $60.0 million revolving line of credit facility dated February 20, 2009, as amended effective June 1, 2011, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (successor in merger with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC), CIT Bank and PNC Bank (“WF LOC”). The credit facility expires on June 1, 2015. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the WF LOC as of May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013.

Borrowings under this facility bear interest at various rates based on the excess availability and time of year, with two rate options at the discretion of management as follows: (1) For base rate advances, borrowings bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.00% during the non-seasonal period and the prime rate plus 1.75% during the seasonal period. When excess availability is $25.0 million or greater, borrowings for base rate advances bear interest at the prime rate plus 0.75% during the non-seasonal period and the prime rate plus 1.50% during the seasonal period; (2) For LIBOR rate advances, borrowings bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% during the non-seasonal period and the LIBOR rate plus 2.75% during the seasonal period. When excess availability is $25.0 million or greater, borrowings for LIBOR advances bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 1.75% during the non-seasonal period and the LIBOR rate plus 2.50% during the seasonal period. Borrowings available under the WF LOC may not exceed the borrowing base (consisting of specified percentages of credit card receivables and eligible inventory, less applicable reserves). The Company must maintain minimum excess availability equal to at least 10% of the borrowing base, or $6.0 million. The Company had $59.2 million and $51.0 million available to borrow at May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013, respectively. Borrowings under this facility would have borne an interest rate of 4.00% under the base rate option at May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013. The Company had outstanding letters of credit included in the borrowing base totaling approximately $0.8 million and $0.2 million as of May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013, respectively.

An unused line fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.375% of the sum of the average daily unused revolving commitment plus the average daily unused letter of credit commitment. A customary fee is also payable to the administrative agent under the facility on an annual basis.

Borrowings are secured by the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable and all other personal property, except as specifically excluded in the agreement. Among other provisions, the revolving line of credit facility contains certain financial covenants restricting the amount of capital expenditures and dividends that can be paid without consent from the lenders. As of May 4, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

The loan, guaranty and security agreement relating to the Company’s revolving line of credit facility includes a negative covenant that restricts dividends and other upstream distributions by the Company and its subsidiaries to the extent the Company does not meet minimum excess availability thresholds. Exceptions to this covenant include dividends or other upstream distributions: (i) by subsidiaries of Gordmans, Inc. to Gordmans, Inc. and its other subsidiaries, (ii) that consist of repurchases of stock of employees in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year, (iii) to the Company to pay federal, provincial, state and local income taxes and franchise taxes solely arising out of the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iv) to the Company to pay certain reasonable directors’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses, reasonable and customary indemnities to directors, officers and employees and other expenses in connection with the ordinary corporate governance, overhead, legal and accounting and maintenance and (v) additional distributions and dividends in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 during the term of the facility. The loan, guaranty and security agreement also includes a negative covenant that restricts subsidiaries of the Company from making any loans to the Company.
