DILLARDS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Dillards, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2014 due to the seasonal nature of the business.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2013.
Note 2. Business Segments
The Company operates in two reportable segments: the operation of retail department stores (retail operations) and a general contracting construction company (construction).
For the Companys retail operations, the Company determined its operating segments on a store by store basis. Each stores operating performance has been aggregated into one reportable segment. The Companys operating segments are aggregated for financial reporting purposes because they are similar in each of the following areas: economic characteristics, class of consumer, nature of products and distribution methods. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales, and the Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. Across all stores, the Company operates one store format under the Dillards name where each store offers the same general mix of merchandise with similar categories and similar customers. The Company believes that disaggregating its operating segments would not provide meaningful additional information.
The following tables summarize certain segment information, including the reconciliation of those items to the Companys consolidated operations:

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
Various legal proceedings, in the form of lawsuits and claims, which occur in the normal course of business, are pending against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
At August 3, 2013, letters of credit totaling $47.2 million were issued under the Companys revolving credit facility.
Note 7. Benefit Plans
The Company has an unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan (Pension Plan) for its officers. The Pension Plan is noncontributory and provides benefits based on years of service and compensation during employment. Pension expense is determined using various actuarial cost methods to estimate the total benefits ultimately payable to officers and allocates this cost to service periods. The actuarial assumptions used to calculate pension costs are reviewed annually. The Company made contributions to the Pension Plan of $0.7 million and $1.4 million during the three and six months ended August 3, 2013, respectively. The Company expects to make contributions to the Pension Plan of approximately $1.3 million for the remainder of fiscal 2013.

Note 8. Revolving Credit Agreement
At August 3, 2013, the Company maintained a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (credit agreement) with J. P. Morgan Securities LLC (JPMorgan) and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as the lead agents for various banks, secured by the inventory of Dillards, Inc. operating subsidiaries. The credit agreement expires July 1, 2018.
Borrowings under the credit agreement accrue interest at either JPMorgans Base Rate or LIBOR plus 1.5% (1.69% at August 3, 2013) subject to certain availability thresholds as defined in the credit agreement.
Limited to 90% of the inventory of certain Company subsidiaries, availability for borrowings and letter of credit obligations under the credit agreement was $982.3 million at August 3, 2013. No borrowings were outstanding at August 3, 2013. Letters of credit totaling $47.2 million were issued under this credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the facility of approximately $935 million at August 3, 2013. There are no financial covenant requirements under the credit agreement provided availability exceeds $100 million. The Company pays an annual commitment fee to the banks of 0.25% of the committed amount less outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

During the six months ended July 28, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $7.8 million from the sales of two former retail stores located in Cincinnati, Ohio and Antioch, Tennessee that were held for sale and one building that was formerly a portion of a currently operating retail location, resulting in a net gain of $0.9 million.
Note 14. Fair Value Disclosures
The estimated fair values of financial instruments which are presented herein have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The fair value of the Companys long-term debt and subordinated debentures is based on market prices or dealer quotes.
The fair value of the Companys cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable approximates their carrying values at August 3, 2013 due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the Companys long-term debt at August 3, 2013 was approximately $669 million. The carrying value of the Companys long-term debt at August 3, 2013 was $615 million. The fair value of the Companys subordinated debentures at August 3, 2013 was approximately $204 million. The carrying value of the Companys subordinated debentures at August 3, 2013 was $200 million.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $5.4 million on certain cost method investments. The Company evaluated all factors and determined that an other-than-temporary impairment charge was necessary. These investments are recorded in other assets on the balance sheet.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The FASBs accounting guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
· Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
· Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active
· Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions

Note 15. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires the Company to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income on the Companys consolidated statement of comprehensive income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. This update does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, but does require the Company to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The provisions in this update were effective prospectively beginning with the Companys first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this update affected the format and presentation of the Companys consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto but did not have any other impact on the Companys financial statements.
Guidance on Financial Statement Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which provides explicit presentation guidelines. Under this ASU, an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when specific conditions are met as outlined in the ASU. When these specific conditions are met, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as the financial and other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013.

General
Net sales. Net sales include merchandise sales of comparable and non-comparable stores and revenue recognized on contracts of CDI Contractors, LLC (CDI), the Companys general contracting construction company. Comparable store sales include sales for those stores which were in operation for a full period in both the current month and the corresponding month for the prior year. Comparable store sales exclude the change in the allowance for sales returns. Non-comparable store sales include: sales in the current fiscal year from stores opened during the previous fiscal year before they are considered comparable stores; sales from new stores opened during the current fiscal year; sales in the previous fiscal year for stores closed during the current or previous fiscal year that are no longer considered comparable stores; sales in clearance centers; and changes in the allowance for sales returns.

Seasonality and Inflation
Our business, like many other retailers, is subject to seasonal influences, with a significant portion of sales and income typically realized during the last quarter of our fiscal year due to the holiday season. Because of the seasonality of our business, results from any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results during the periods presented; however, our business could be affected by such in the future.

Net sales from the retail operations segment increased $2.8 million or 0% during the three months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the three months ended July 28, 2012 while sales in comparable stores increased 1% between the same periods. Sales of ladies accessories and lingerie increased significantly over the prior year period, and sales of juniors and childrens apparel increased moderately. Sales of shoes increased slightly over the prior year period while sales of mens apparel and accessories remained essentially flat. Sales of cosmetics, ladies apparel and home and furniture decreased moderately between the periods.
We believe that we may continue to see some sales growth in the retail operations segment during fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012; however, there is no guarantee of improved sales performance.
The number of sales transactions decreased 4% for the three months ended August 3, 2013 over the comparable prior year period while the average dollars per sales transaction increased 4%. We recorded an allowance for sales returns of $6.7 million and $7.6 million as of August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively.
During the three months ended August 3, 2013, net sales from the construction segment decreased $10.8 million or 34% compared to the three months ended July 28, 2012 due to a shift in the timing of certain construction projects. We believe that sales in the construction segment for fiscal 2013 will be similar to fiscal 2012; however, there is no guarantee of this sales performance. The backlog of awarded construction contracts at August 3, 2013 totaled $64.3 million.

Gross profit improved 40 basis points of sales during the three months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the three months ended July 28, 2012, and gross profit improved 80 basis points during the six months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the six months ended July 28, 2012.
During the three months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the three months ended July 28, 2012, gross profit from retail operations improved 10 basis points of sales as a result of decreased markdowns partially offset by decreased markups. Gross margin improved moderately in mens apparel and accessories and improved slightly in juniors and childrens apparel while gross margin in ladies apparel remained essentially flat. Gross margin declined slightly in shoes and cosmetics and declined moderately in ladies accessories and lingerie and home and furniture.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the six months ended July 28, 2012, gross profit from retail operations improved 60 basis points of sales as a result of decreased markdowns partially offset by decreased markups. Gross margin improved moderately in mens apparel and accessories and home and furniture and improved slightly in juniors and childrens apparel while gross margin remained essentially flat in ladies apparel and ladies accessories and lingerie. Gross margin declined slightly in cosmetics and shoes.
Inventory in total and comparable stores increased 7% and 8%, respectively, as of August 3, 2013 compared to July 28, 2012. A 1% change in the dollar amount of markdowns would have impacted net income by approximately $3 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013, respectively.
We believe that gross profit from retail operations will improve slightly during fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012; however, there is no guarantee of improved gross profit performance.

SG&A increased 10 basis points of sales during the three months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the three months ended July 28, 2012 while total SG&A dollars decreased $0.6 million. The decrease in SG&A dollars is primarily due to a decrease in services purchased ($2.3 million) and advertising expenses ($2.2 million) partially offset by increases in payroll ($2.2 million), primarily of selling payroll.
SG&A decreased $3.6 million or 10 basis points of sales during the six months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the six months ended July 28, 2012. The dollar decrease was most noted in advertising expense ($5.2 million) and insurance ($1.8 million) partially offset by increases in payroll ($6.0 million), primarily of selling payroll. During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company also recorded a $1.5 million pretax credit to pension expense for a gain from a pension plan curtailment.
We believe that SG&A will improve slightly as a percentage of sales during fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012; however, there is no guarantee of improved SG&A performance.

The decrease in rental expense for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended July 28, 2012 was primarily due to a reduction in the amount of equipment leased by the Company.
We believe that rental expense will decline during fiscal 2013, with a current projected reduction of $8 million from fiscal 2012, primarily as a result of the expiration of certain equipment leases.

The decrease in net interest and debt expense for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended July 28, 2012 was primarily attributable to lower average debt levels. Total weighted average debt decreased approximately $49.1 million and $61.8 million for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended July 28, 2012, respectively.

During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $15.7 million from the sale of its investment in Acumen Brands, an eCommerce company based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The sale resulted in a gain of $11.7 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company also received proceeds of $1.7 million from the sale of two former retail stores located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Pasadena, Texas that were held for sale, resulting in a gain of $0.6 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.
During the six months ended July 28, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $7.8 million from the sales of two former retail stores located in Cincinnati, Ohio and Antioch, Tennessee that were held for sale and one building that was formerly a portion of a currently operating retail location, resulting in a net gain of $0.9 million.

There were no asset impairment and store closing charges recorded during the three months ended August 3, 2013 and during the three and six months ended July 28, 2012.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $6.5 million for asset impairment and store closing costs. The charge was for the write-down of an operating property and certain cost method investments.
Income Taxes
The Companys estimated federal and state income tax rate, inclusive of income on and equity in losses of joint ventures, was approximately 35.0% and 35.8% for the three months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. During the three months ended August 3, 2013, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes partially offset by tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits. During the three months ended July 28, 2012, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes.
The Companys estimated federal and state income tax rate, inclusive of income on and equity in losses of joint ventures, was approximately 35.1% and 35.8% for the six months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. During the six months ended August 3, 2013, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes partially offset by tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits. During the six months ended July 28, 2012, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes partially offset by a benefit due to net decreases in unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to statute lapses.
The Company expects the fiscal 2013 federal and state effective income tax rate to approximate 35%. This rate may change if results of operations for fiscal 2013 differ from managements current expectations. Changes in the Companys assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.

Net cash flows from operations decreased $21.1 million during the six months ended August 3, 2013 compared to the six months ended July 28, 2012. This decline was primarily attributable to a decrease of $47.3 million related to changes in working capital items, primarily of increases of inventories partially offset by decreases in income taxes payable. This decline was partially offset by an increase in net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, of $26.2 million.
GE owns and manages Dillards branded proprietary credit card business under the Alliance that expires in late fiscal 2014. The Alliance provides for certain payments to be made by GE to the Company, including a revenue sharing and marketing reimbursement. The Company received income of approximately $55.0 million and $51.4 million from GE during the six months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. While future cash flows under this Alliance are difficult to predict, the Company expects income from the Alliance to improve moderately during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The amount the Company receives is dependent on the level of sales on GE accounts, the level of balances carried on the GE accounts by GE customers, payment rates on GE accounts, finance charge rates and other fees on GE accounts, the level of credit losses for the GE accounts as well as GEs funding costs.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $15.7 million from the sale of its investment in Acumen Brands, an eCommerce company based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The sale resulted in a gain of $11.7 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company also received proceeds of $1.7 million from the sale of two former retail stores located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Pasadena, Texas that were held for sale, resulting in a gain of $0.6 million that was recorded in gain on disposal of assets.
During the six months ended July 28, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $7.8 million from the sales of two former retail stores located in Cincinnati, Ohio and Antioch, Tennessee that were held for sale and one building that was formerly a portion of a currently operating retail location, resulting in a net gain of $0.9 million.
Capital expenditures were $40.9 million and $86.7 million for the six months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. The current year expenditures were primarily for the remodeling of existing stores. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2013 are expected to be approximately $125 million compared to actual expenditures of $137 million during fiscal 2012. While there are no planned store openings for fiscal 2013, we expect to begin construction of two new stores later this year at the The Mall at University Town Center in Sarasota, Florida (180,000 square feet) and The Shops at Summerlin in Las Vegas, Nevada (200,000 square feet), both of which are expected to open during the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013, we closed our Cache Valley Mall location in Logan, Utah (94,000 square feet) and our Randolph Mall location in Asheboro, North Carolina (60,000 square feet). We have also announced the upcoming closure of our Euclid Square Mall location in Euclid, Ohio (50,000 square feet), which is expected to close during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 with minimal closing costs. We remain committed to closing under-performing stores where appropriate and may incur future closing costs related to these stores when they close.
The Company had cash on hand of approximately $113.7 million as of August 3, 2013. As part of our overall liquidity management strategy and for peak working capital requirements, the Company maintains a $1.0 billion credit facility. During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company amended and extended this credit facility, reducing the unused commitment fee from the previous agreement and extending the facilitys expiration to July 1, 2018.
Limited to 90% of the inventory of certain Company subsidiaries, availability for borrowings and letter of credit obligations under the credit agreement was $982.3 million at August 3, 2013. No borrowings were outstanding at August 3, 2013. Letters of credit totaling $47.2 million were issued under this credit agreement leaving unutilized availability under the facility of approximately $935 million at August 3, 2013. Borrowings of $24.0 million were outstanding at July 28, 2012.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of stock for $114.7 million at an average price of $79.12 per share under the Companys 2013 and 2012 Stock Plans. During the six months ended July 28, 2012, the Company repurchased 2.5 million shares of stock for $162.1 million (including the accrual of $9.0 million of share repurchases that had not settled as of July 28, 2012) at an average price of $64.21 per share under its 2012 and May 2011 Stock Plans. At August 3, 2013, no authorization remained under the 2012 and May 2011 Stock Plans, and $227.3 million of authorization remained under the Companys 2013 Stock Plan. The ultimate disposition of the repurchased stock has not been determined.
The Company paid dividends of $2.3 million and $5.0 million during the six months ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, respectively. Historically, our dividends declared during the fourth quarter of a fiscal year were paid during the first quarter of the following fiscal year; however, the dividends declared during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were expedited and paid during that same quarter.
During fiscal 2013, the Company expects to finance its capital expenditures and its working capital requirements, including stock repurchases, from cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations and utilization of the credit facility. The Company expects peak borrowings for fiscal 2013 to be at similar levels as fiscal 2012. Depending on conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Company will from time to time consider other possible financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance current indebtedness or for other corporate purposes.
There have been no material changes in the information set forth under caption Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has not created, and is not party to, any special-purpose entities or off-balance-sheet arrangements for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating the Companys business. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements or relationships that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or the availability of capital resources.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires the Company to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income on the Companys consolidated statement of comprehensive income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. This update does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, but does require the Company to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The provisions in this update were effective prospectively beginning with the Companys first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this update affected the format and presentation of the Companys consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto but did not have any other impact on the Companys financial statements.
Guidance on Financial Statement Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which provides explicit presentation guidelines. Under this ASU, an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when specific conditions are met as outlined in the ASU. When these specific conditions are met, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This report contains certain forward-looking statements. The following are or may constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: (a) statements including words such as may, will, could,, should, believe, expect, future, potential, anticipate, intend, plan, estimate, continue, or the negative or other variations thereof; (b) statements regarding matters that are not historical facts; and (c) statements about the Companys future occurrences, plans and objectives, including statements regarding managements expectations and forecasts for the remainder of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014. The Company cautions that forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management and information available to management at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise. Forward-looking statements of the Company involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by the Company and its management as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Representative examples of those factors include (without limitation) general retail industry conditions and macro-economic conditions; economic and weather conditions for regions in which the Companys stores are located and the effect of these factors on the buying patterns of the Companys customers, including the effect of changes in prices and availability of oil and natural gas; the availability of consumer credit; the impact of competitive pressures in the department store industry and other retail channels including specialty, off-price, discount and Internet retailers; changes in consumer spending patterns, debt levels and their ability to meet credit obligations; changes in legislation, affecting such matters as the cost of employee benefits or credit card income; adequate and stable availability of materials, production facilities and labor from which the Company sources its merchandise at acceptable pricing; changes in operating expenses, including employee wages, commission structures and related benefits; system failures or data security breaches; possible future acquisitions of store properties from other department store operators; the continued availability of financing in amounts and at the terms necessary to support the Companys future business; fluctuations in LIBOR and other base borrowing rates; potential disruption from terrorist activity and the effect on ongoing consumer confidence; epidemic, pandemic or other public health issues; potential disruption of international trade and supply chain efficiencies; world conflict and the possible impact on consumer spending patterns and other economic and demographic changes of similar or dissimilar nature. The Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, contain other information on factors that may affect financial results or cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the information set forth under caption Item 7A-Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). The Companys management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report, and based on that evaluation, the Companys CEO and CFO have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended August 3, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of the Companys operations in the normal course of business. This may include litigation with customers, employment related lawsuits, class action lawsuits, purported class action lawsuits and actions brought by governmental authorities. As of September 3, 2013, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
There have been no material changes in the information set forth under caption Item 1A-Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013.

Income Taxes | Note 10. Income Taxes
During the three months ended August 3, 2013, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes partially offset by tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits. During the three months ended July 28, 2012, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes.
During the six months ended August 3, 2013, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes partially offset by tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits. During the six months ended July 28, 2012, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes partially offset by a benefit due to net decreases in unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to statute lapses.
