REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Participants and Administrator of the GapShare Puerto Rico Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the GapShare Puerto Rico Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the period from December 15 to December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the period from December 15 to December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2010, and (2) transactions in excess of five percent of the current value of plan assets for the period from December 15 to December 31, 2010, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2010 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

GAPSHARE PUERTO RICO PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2010

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

General – The GapShare Puerto Rico Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan and trust which was established to provide a source of retirement savings to participants and to enable participants to defer a portion of their eligible compensation. The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description and official Plan documents for more complete information. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

The Plan qualifies under Sections 1165(a) and 1165(e) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994. Employees of Gap (Puerto Rico), Inc. must be a permanent resident of Puerto Rico to be eligible to participate in the Plan sponsored by The Gap, Inc. (the “Company” or “Plan Sponsor”) upon attaining the age of 21 and credited with at least 1,000 hours of service to the Company during the 12-consecutive month period beginning on the employee’s date of hire by the Company or during any calendar year beginning after the employee’s date of hire.

Plan assets in the amount of $1,673,834 for Puerto Rico employees were transferred from the GapShare 401(K) Plan to this Plan on December 15, 2010.

Contributions - The minimum level of participant contributions is 1% of base salary. Total pre-tax contributions may not exceed a maximum of 30% of total eligible compensation for a pay date. Total after-tax contributions may not exceed a maximum of 10% of eligible compensation for a pay date and 10% of the participant’s eligible compensation for all his years as a participant. The maximum allowable pre-tax contributions qualifying for deferral for individual income tax purposes was $9,000 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2010. Participants who are eligible to make tax-deferred contributions and who have attained age 50 before the close of the calendar year are allowed to make catch-up contributions not exceeding $1,000 for any plan year.

Company contributions are made according to a matching formula established prior to the beginning of each Plan year. For 2010, the formula provided for a 100% matching contribution up to 4% of base pay per pay period of participant contributions on a pre-tax, after-tax or catch-up basis. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined contribution plans.

Investments of participant and Company contributions are allocated to the funds as elected by the participant. Allocations of each fund’s earnings are based on participant account balances in those funds. Participants may transfer accumulated account balances between funds at any time.

Trustee and Record Keeper – T. Rowe Price serves as the trustee and record keeper.

Investment Options – During the period from December 15 to December 31, 2010, the Plan’s assets were invested in a number of registered investment funds and the Plan Sponsor’s common stock at T. Rowe Price.

The Plan Sponsor’s common stock may provide the greatest potential for either loss or gain since it relates to the common stock of a single company. When directed by the participant, the Trustee buys shares of the Plan Sponsor’s common stock in the open market. Shares are also purchased from Plan participants who transfer their accounts out of this investment option or who take distributions or withdrawals from this investment option in the form of cash. As of December 31, 2010, the Plan held 3,707 shares (market value of $22.14 per share) of the Plan Sponsor’s common stock.

Vesting - All active employees are 100% vested in all employer contributions, participant contributions and earnings thereon.

Participant Loans - For a fee of $50, participants may apply to receive a loan of up to the lesser of 50% of their vested amounts or $50,000, minus the highest balance of any other loan outstanding in the preceding 12 months. The minimum amount participants may borrow is $1,000. Loans are repaid through payroll deductions for up to a period of five years, unless a loan is for the purchase or construction of a principal residence, in which case terms range from one to fifteen years. If an unpaid loan balance exists at the time a participant leaves the Company and withdraws from the Plan, it must be repaid by the participant or deducted from the participant’s total distribution. The fixed interest rate charged is 1% over the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) on the last business day of the month preceding the month in which the loan is requested. As of December 31, 2010, there were 115 such loans, with interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 9.25%, maturing from 2011 to 2016.

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.

Automatic Enrollment - The Plan provides for automatic enrollment. Eligible employees become automatically enrolled in the Plan at a pre-tax contribution rate of 2% of eligible compensation, unless they otherwise elect not to be enrolled. These participants’ initial contributions are allocated 100% to an age-based T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund (based on the year the participant turns age 65) unless they choose otherwise. Participants can elect to change or stop deductions at any time following enrollment.

Payment of Benefits - Upon termination of employment, a participant will receive a lump sum distribution payment of their account. If the account balance is greater than $1,000, the participant’s consent is required prior to the distribution.

Administrative Expenses - Each participant account is charged asset-based investment-related fees and expenses for the investment funds held in their account. The fees and expenses vary by fund.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties - The Plan utilizes various investment instruments including mutual funds and the Company’s common stock. These investments, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term, and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Shares of the money market fund are valued at $1 per share which represents the net asset value (“NAV”) per share held by the Plan at year end. Shares of mutual funds and The Gap, Inc. common stock are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the NAV of shares held by the Plan at year end.

Purchases and sales of mutual funds are recorded on a trade-date basis (which is not materially different from a settlement-date basis). Purchases and sales of The Gap, Inc. common stock are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Payment of Benefits – Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to amend and clarify existing guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance adds new requirements for disclosures related to transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 and requires separate disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies guidance around disaggregation and disclosures of inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Plan Management adopted the provisions of this accounting standards update effective December 31, 2010, except for the requirement to disclose purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to Level 3 measurements, which we will adopt in 2011.

In September 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which requires that participant loans be classified as notes receivable rather than a plan investment and measured at unpaid principal balance plus accrued but unpaid interest rather than fair value. The Plan adopted the new accounting guidance in 2010. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Plan’s financial statements.

 

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Plan classifies its investments into Level 1, which refers to securities valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Investments are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 are as follows:

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - CONTINUED

Participant and Company contributions are allocated to the funds as elected by the participant. In addition, participants may transfer accumulated account balances between funds at any time and these transfers may generate exchanges between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 investments. The Plan’s policy is to recognize significant transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. No significant transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 investments were made during the year. As discussed in Note 2, the fair value of the Plan’s investment in the money market fund is determined based on the net asset value of the fund, and the fair value of the Plan’s investment balances in Company common stock and mutual funds are determined based on quoted market prices.

As a result of adopting new guidance, participant loans are classified as participant notes receivables.

 

4. INVESTMENTS

The fair value of individual investments that represent more than 5% of the Plan’s net assets available for benefits at fair value as of December 31, 2010 are as follows:

 

     2010  

T. Rowe Price Retirement 2035 Fund, 19,154 shares

   $ 234,250   

T. Rowe Price Retirement 2045 Fund, 24,725 shares

     287,051   

T. Rowe Price Retirement 2030 Fund, 9,825 shares

     169,776   

T. Rowe Price Retirement 2040 Fund, 16,867 shares

     293,816   

T. Rowe Price Retirement 2050 Fund, 15,865 shares

     154,527   

T. Rowe Price Summit Cash Reserve 112,714 shares

     112,714   

 

5. TAX EXEMPT STATUS

The Plan is intended to qualify as a profit sharing plan under Sections 1165(a) and 1165(e) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994 (the “Code”). The Plan has applied for a favorable tax determination letter from the Departamento de Hacienda de Puerto Rico, stating that the Plan is qualified under Sections 1165(a) and 1165(e), and, accordingly, the Plan’s net investment income is exempt from income taxes. The Plan itself has not received a determination letter from the Departamento de Hacienda de Puerto Rico. However, the Plan’s management believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Departamento de Hacienda de Puerto Rico. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

 

6. PLAN TERMINATION

The Plan is intended to be permanent; however, in the event of the termination of the Plan, the assets of the Plan allocable to each participant shall be segregated, liquidated and distributed to the participants in proportion to their respective account balances.

 

7. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2010, the Plan held 3,707 shares of The Gap, Inc. common stock (the sponsoring employer), with a cost basis of $62,332. During the period from December 15 to December 31, 2010, the Plan recorded no dividend income from The Gap, Inc.
