Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block]
References to a particular year are to our fiscal year, which is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31st of the following calendar year.  For example, a reference to "2015" is a reference to the fiscal year ending January 30, 2016, and "2014" is a reference to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015.  Each of 2015 and 2014 are comprised of 52 weeks.
Recent Accounting Standards
Recent Accounting Standards. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update "ASU" 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 allows for either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method of adoption and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
