REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Administrative Committee and Participants of the Gymboree 401(k) Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Gymboree 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits 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 audits provide 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, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the Table of Contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

GYMBOREE 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

General - The following description of the Gymboree 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan that was established in 1992 by The Gymboree Corporation (the “Company”) to provide benefits to employees who are at least 21 years of age and have been employed with the Company for the lesser of (a) six consecutive months with a minimum of 500 hours of service completed, or (b) twelve consecutive months with a minimum of 1,000 hours of service completed. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), both as amended.

Administration - The Company has appointed an Administrative Committee (the “Committee”) to manage the operation and administration of the Plan. Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity”) is the third-party administrator, custodian and trustee. Fidelity processes and maintains the records of participant data. All reasonable administrative costs and expenses may be paid from plan assets, unless some or all are paid by the Company.

Tax Status - The Company received a favorable IRS determination letter dated August 3, 2005, stating that the Plan was acceptable under Section 401 of the Code. The Company believes that the Plan is operated in accordance with, and continues to qualify under, the applicable requirements of the Code and related state statutes, and that the trust, which forms a part of the Plan, is exempt from federal and state income taxes, as well as state franchise taxes.

Participant contributions - Participants may elect to contribute up to 100% of their eligible pre-tax compensation not to exceed the amount allowable under current income tax regulations, which amounted to $15,000 in 2006 and $14,000 in 2005. Certain participants may also elect to make additional pre-tax “catch-up” contributions to the Plan, not to exceed the amount allowable under current income tax regulations. Participants are also allowed to make rollover contributions of amounts received from certain other tax-qualified retirement plans.

Company contributions - In 2006, the Plan became a safe harbor plan and, in accordance with the safe harbor requirements, the Company made matching contributions of 100% of each participant’s contribution up to 4% of his or her compensation, as defined in the Plan. In 2005, the Company matched 100% of each participant’s contribution up to 3% of his or her compensation. These matching contributions were made on a payroll period basis, as required by the Plan.

Vesting - Participant accounts are 100% vested in all participant and Company contributions and earnings attributable thereto.

Table of Contents

Participant accounts - Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching contribution and any earnings or losses. The Plan permits participants to direct their individual account investments into available investment alternatives. The investment alternatives available to participants as of December 31, 2006 were as follows:

Fidelity:

 

  •

Advisor Strategic Income Fund – seeks a high level of current income and may also seek capital appreciation.

  •  

Advisor Freedom 2010 Fund – seeks high total return with a secondary objective of principal preservation as the fund approaches its target date and beyond.

 

  •  

Advisor Freedom 2015 Fund – seeks high total return with a secondary objective of principal preservation as the fund approaches its target date and beyond.

Loans to participants - The Plan allows each participant to borrow a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of his or her vested account balance, reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance in his or her account during the prior twelve-month period. Loans may be requested for any reason, and participants are allowed to have up to two outstanding loans at any time but may only initiate a maximum of two loans in one year. The loans are secured by the participant’s account balance. Such loans bear interest at the available market financing rates and must be repaid to the Plan within a five-year period, unless the loan is used for the purchase of a principal residence in which case the maximum repayment period may be extended. The specific terms and conditions of such loans are established by the Committee. At December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were 145 and 124 outstanding loans respectively, bearing interest at rates ranging from 5.0% to 9.5%.

In-service withdrawals - A plan participant may request and, depending on the facts and circumstances as determined by the Committee, may receive a hardship withdrawal from his or her account. Additionally, withdrawals are allowed for any reason after a participant has reached age 59 1/2.

Payment of benefits - A participant or beneficiary may elect to receive his or her total benefits in (a) a lump sum distribution equal to the value of the participant’s interest in his or her entire account, or (b) installments. Upon termination of employment, the Plan requires automatic lump-sum distributions of participant account balances that do not exceed $1,000. Distributions to participants are recorded when paid. Net assets available for plan benefits include $1,212,106 and $605,357 payable to terminated plan participants who have elected to defer distribution of their vested account balances at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Plan termination - The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely for the benefit of its participants; however, it reserves the right to terminate or modify the Plan at any time by resolution of its Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Code and ERISA.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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.

Table of Contents

Investments - Investments of the Plan are held by Fidelity and invested based upon instructions received from participants.

The Plan’s investments in mutual funds, common collective trusts and the Gymboree Co. Stock Fund are stated at fair value. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. If quoted market prices are not available, investments are valued by Fidelity at fair market value at the end of each Plan year. Common collective trust funds are stated at fair value as determined by the issuer based on the fair market value of the underlying investments. Common collective trust funds with underlying investments in investment contracts are valued at fair market value of the underlying investments and then adjusted by the issuer to contract value.

The Stable Value Portfolio is diversified among high-quality, short-term investments. The fund invests across several fixed-income categories, including U.S. Treasuries, government agency securities, corporate debt, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities, as well as units of a money market portfolio. The fund is wrapped by a syndicate of four banks and insurance companies, facilitating book value withdrawals. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made to the fund, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Adoption of new Accounting Guidance - The financial statements reflect the retroactive adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the “FSP”). As required by the FSP, the statements of net assets available for benefits presents investment contracts at fair value as well as an additional line item showing an adjustment of fully benefit-responsive contracts from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented on a contract value basis and was not affected by the adoption of the FSP. The adoption of the FSP did not impact the amount of net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2005.

Risks and uncertainties - The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of mutual funds and common collective trusts offered by the Plan. Investments in the Gymboree Co. Stock Fund are limited to 20% of a participant’s contributions to the Plan. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market fluctuations and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Table of Contents

Related party transactions - Plan investments in mutual funds, common collective trusts and the Gymboree Co. Stock Fund are managed by Fidelity, the trustee of the Plan. Any purchases and sales of these funds are performed on the open market at fair value. Such transactions, while considered party-in-interest transactions under ERISA regulations, are permitted under the provisions of the Plan and are specifically exempt from the prohibition of party-in-interest transactions under ERISA.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS
