Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management of Casual Male Retail Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2008.

The information set forth in these statements may be subject to normal year-end adjustments. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s business historically has been seasonal in nature, and the results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53- week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal 2008 is a 52-week period ending on January 31, 2009. Fiscal 2007 was a 52-week period ending on February 2, 2008.

Prior Year Reclassifications

Results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 have been restated to reflect the operating results of the Company’s Jared M. business as discontinued operations. See Note 5, “Discontinued Operations.”

Segment Information

The Company reports its operations as one reportable segment, Big & Tall Men’s Apparel, which consists of two operating segments—Casual Male and Rochester. The Company considers its operating segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and have therefore aggregated them into a single reporting segment.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill pursuant to SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Pursuant to SFAS 142, at least annually, the Company evaluates goodwill, based on its two separate reporting units, its Casual Male business and its Rochester operating segments, by comparing the current carrying value of net assets with the fair value of the reporting units. The goodwill assigned to each reporting unit represents the initial purchase price allocation to goodwill as a result of their respective acquisitions. Total goodwill at November 1, 2008 was $63.1 million and was comprised of $53.4 million related to the Casual Male business and $9.7 million related to the Rochester business.

Given that the Company’s market capitalization has been less than its book value for approximately 60 days indicating a potential devaluation of the Company’s assets, the Company has performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment under SFAS 142. The Company has determined that no impairment has occurred as of November 1, 2008 based upon a set of assumptions regarding discounted future cash flows, which represent the Company’s best estimate of future performance at this time. The Company has qualitatively reconciled the aggregate estimated fair value of the reporting units to the market capitalization of the consolidated Company. In addition to traditional control premiums, the Company noted several factors that have led to a difference between the market capitalization and the fair value of the Company, including (i) the Company’s stock is thinly traded and primarily owned by institutional investors which can significantly impact the value of the stock when significant blocks are sold, as occurred in the third quarter; (ii) uncertainty regarding the Company’s liquidity and operating results as results have not been reported since the second quarter; and (iii) the overall market conditions which have depressed the stock value. Based on these factors, the Company concluded that the market capitalization does not represent the fair value of the Company.

6

However, as the Company’s fourth quarter is ordinarily a very significant quarter, generating 30% of its total sales and 54% of its operating income over the past two fiscal years, the business trends of the fourth quarter could alter the assumptions made with respect to future cash flows. The Company will perform its annual impairment assessment at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. If there is an impairment, the non-cash charge associated with the impairment could result in a substantial reduction in the carrying value of these assets.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires that all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized as an expense in the statement of operations based on their fair values and vesting periods. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). As required under the accounting rules, the Company reviews its valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ from the Company’s current estimates.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, the Company recognized total compensation expense of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized as of November 1, 2008 is approximately $3.0 million which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining life of 24 months.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

For the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, 1.1 million and 0.8 million stock options were granted, respectively. The weighted-average exercise price of the 1.1 million stock options was $4.45 per share. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants for the nine months ended November 1, 2008 and November 3, 2007:

	November 1, 2008	November 3, 2007
Expected volatility	45.0%	40.0%
Risk-free interest rate	2.39% – 3.15%	4.07% – 4.85%
Expected life	3.0 – 4.5 yrs	2.0 – 4.5 yrs.
Dividend rate	—	—

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock; the expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

There were no material exercises of options or warrants during the first nine months of fiscal 2008.

2. Debt

Credit Agreement with Bank of America Retail Group, Inc.

At November 1, 2008, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $57.9 million under its credit facility, as most recently amended December 20, 2007, with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Credit Facility”). The maturity date of the Credit Facility is October 29, 2011. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $2.2 million and outstanding documentary letters of credit were $0.9 million. Average monthly borrowings outstanding under this facility during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were approximately $50.6 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $43.8 million. Unused excess availability at November 1, 2008 was $46.7 million. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on all of its assets. The Company is not subject to any financial covenants pursuant to this Credit Facility.

7

The fair value of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility approximates the carrying value at November 1, 2008. At the Company’s option, any portion of the outstanding borrowings can be converted to LIBOR-based contracts; the remainder bears interest based on prime. At November 1, 2008, the prime-based interest rate was 4.00%. The Company had approximately $10.0 million of its outstanding borrowings in a LIBOR-based contract with an interest rate of 5.22%. The LIBOR-based contract expired November 11, 2008.

Master Loan and Security Agreement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC

On July 20, 2007, the Company entered into a Master Loan and Security Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“BALC”) for equipment financing. In conjunction with the Master Agreement, the Company entered into an Equipment Security Note (the “First Secured Note”), whereby it borrowed an aggregate of $17.4 million from BALC. The First Secured Note is due July 20, 2011.

On January 16, 2008, the Company entered into a second Equipment Security Note (the “Second Secured Note”) pursuant to the same terms and provisions of the Master Agreement, whereby it borrowed an additional $2.1 million. The Second Secured Note is due January 16, 2012.

Both secured notes accrue interest at a per annum rate of 1.75% plus the rate of interest equal to the 30-day published LIBOR rate. Principal and interest, in arrears, are payable monthly, commencing one month after issuance of such note. At November 1, 2008, the outstanding balance of the secured notes was $13.7 million.

Both notes are secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s rights, title and interest in and to certain equipment. The Company is not subject to any financial covenants pursuant to the Master Agreement.

3. Equity

Earnings per Share

The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share:

	For the three months ended		For the nine months ended
	November 1, 2008	November 3, 2007	November 1, 2008	November 3, 2007
(in thousands)
Common Stock Outstanding
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	41,414	41,672	41,403	41,823
Common Stock Equivalents (1)	—	—	—	—
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	41,414	41,672	41,403	41,823

(1) Common stock equivalents, which consisted of stock options and warrants, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding because the effect was anti- dilutive. Common stock equivalents were 221 shares and 1,447 shares for the three months ended November 1, 2008 and November 3, 2007, respectively, and 260 shares and 1,800 shares for the nine months ended November 1, 2008 and November 3, 2007, respectively.

8

The following potential common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in each period because the exercise price of such options and warrants was greater than the average market price per share of common stock for the respective periods.

	For the three months ended		For the nine months ended
	November 1, 2008	November 3, 2007	November 1, 2008	November 3, 2007
(in thousands, except exercise prices)
Options	5,290	980	4,850	621
Warrants	1,058	—	1,058	—
Range of exercise prices of such options and warrants	$3.88 – $12.35	$10.15 – $12.35	$3.98 – $12.35	$11.15 – $12.35

The above options, which were outstanding and out-of-the-money at November 1, 2008, expire from May 25, 2011 to August 12, 2018.

4. Income Taxes

At November 1, 2008, the Company had total gross deferred tax assets of approximately $28.9 million, with a corresponding valuation allowance of $1.2 million. These tax assets principally relate to federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire from 2018 through 2024 and to a lesser extent book/tax timing differences. The valuation allowance is for losses associated with the Company’s Canada operations and certain state net operating losses, the benefit of which may not be recognized due to short carryforward periods.

The Company complies with FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. The charge is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Pursuant to FIN 48, the Company will recognize the benefit from a tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon audit based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. At November 1, 2008, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits based on the provisions of FIN 48.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through fiscal 1997, with remaining fiscal years subject to income tax examination by federal tax authorities.

The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision. The Company has not accrued or paid interest or penalties which were material to its results of operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2008.

5. Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company exited its Jared M. operations, and therefore results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 have been reclassified to reflect the operating results of the Company’s Jared M. business as discontinued operations.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company sold its Jared M. business to a third party for a cash purchase price of $250,000. No material gain or loss was recognized on the sale.

9

The following table summarizes the results from discontinued operations from the Jared M. business for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007:

	For the three months ended November 3, 2007			For the nine months ended November 3, 2007
(in millions)
Sales	$	0.5		$	1.8
Gross margin(1)		(0.6	)		0.0
Selling, general and administrative expenses		(0.9	)		(2.9	)
Provision for impairment of assets and employment contract terminations(1)		(1.7	)		(1.7	)
Depreciation and amortization		(0.1	)		(0.1	)
		(3.3	)		(4.7	)
Benefit from income taxes		(1.3	)		(1.9	)
Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes	$	(2.0	)	$	(2.8	)

(1) During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a total non-cash charge of $2.6 million relating to the impairment of fixed assets, the write-down of inventory and the write-off of certain other asset accounts. Of the $2.6 million, approximately $0.9 million related to the write-down of inventory and is included as a reduction in gross margin for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2007.

6. Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (“FAS 141R”), which changes how business combinations are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. FAS 141R is effective January 1, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. The impact of adopting FAS 141R will depend on the nature and terms of future acquisitions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“FAS 160”), which changes the accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements. FAS 160 recharacterizes minority interests as noncontrolling interests and requires noncontrolling interests to be classified as a component of shareholders’ equity. FAS 160 is effective January 1, 2009 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. The Company does not expect FAS 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS SUMMARY

Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. together with our subsidiaries is the largest specialty retailer of big & tall men’s apparel with retail operations throughout the United States, Canada and London, England. We operate 473 Casual Male XL retail and outlet stores, 27 Rochester Big & Tall stores and a direct to consumer business, which includes several catalogs and e-commerce sites.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to “we,” “ours,” “our,” “us” and “the Company” refer to Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to our fiscal years which end on January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008 as “fiscal 2008” and “fiscal 2007,” respectively.

When discussing sales growth, we refer to the term “comparable sales.” Comparable sales for all periods discussed include our retail stores that have been open for at least one full year together with our e-commerce and catalog sales. Stores that may have been remodeled, expanded or re-located during the period are also included in our determination of comparable sales. We include our direct businesses as part of our calculation of comparable sales because we are a multi-channel retailer, offering our customers convenient alternatives for their shopping. The method of calculating comparative store sales varies across the retail industry and, as a result, our calculation of comparable sales is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Summary

We reported a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 of $3.2 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we had a net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Our earnings for fiscal 2008 continue to be negatively impacted by the current economic downturn. As a result, during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, our posture of improving market share, driving sales performance and enhancing overall profitability has been shifted to largely focus on producing free cash flow, managing our inventory and maintaining and improving our liquidity.

11

From a financial position perspective, we have decreased our inventory position at the end of the third quarter by approximately 6.5% over the prior year third quarter and reduced our capital expenditures by approximately $6.8 million, or 42%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. Our free cash flow (as defined below under “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measure”) for the first nine months approximated a negative $8.7 million compared to negative free cash flow of $31.9 million for the same time period last year. At November 1, 2008, total outstanding debt is approximately $11.9 million less than the prior year third quarter. Our borrowings under our credit facility at November 1, 2008 were $57.9 million with unused availability under the facility of approximately $46.7 million compared to November 3, 2007 when our outstanding borrowings under our facility were $67.2 million and unused availability was $38.6 million.

Although our primary focus has shifted to maintaining and strengthening our financial condition, we still remain committed to our overall objective to increase our market share, through top line growth by:

• increasing focus on customer service by providing better sales training and development tools to our sales associates to enhance our customer experience;

• improving upon our methodology of planning and allocating appropriate assortments to each store, considering the demographics and lifestyle tendencies of each store location;

• continuing to grow, albeit more deliberately going forward, our direct businesses, including LivingXL, ShoesXL and B&T Factory Direct;

• building our primary brands, Casual Male XL and Rochester, on web sites in the European Union which were launched in the third quarter of fiscal 2008; and

• focusing on building market share within the smaller size component of the big & tall market.

Earnings Guidance

Through the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we provided earnings guidance for fiscal 2008 of approximately $0.22—$0.27 per diluted share. Based on third quarter results, we do not believe we will achieve these earnings. However, because of the current economic conditions and overall volatility of the markets, we find it difficult to predict our traffic and sales trends with a reasonable degree of certainty to provide revised earnings guidance, and therefore, we will not be providing revised earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Measure

The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flow is not a measure determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for net income or cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, “free cash flows” presented in this report may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We calculate free cash flows as cash flow from operating activities ($0.7 million in 2008 and a negative $15.7 million in 2007) less capital expenditures ($9.4 million in 2008 and $16.2 million in 2007). We believe that inclusion of this non-GAAP measure helps investors to gain a better understanding of our performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods.

Sales

For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, total sales decreased by 5.7% to $100.0 million when compared to total sales of $106.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. Comparable sales for the third quarter decreased 5.3% when compared to the same period of the prior year. This decrease consisted of a 6.1% decrease in sales from our direct businesses and a 5.2% decrease in sales from our retail business. Our core business, which includes just our Casual Male and Rochester businesses, had a comparable sales decrease of 5.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

12

For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, sales decreased 2.8% to $321.1 million as compared to $330.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The sales shortfall of $9.2 million was primarily driven by a decrease in our comparable sales of 2.2%, which includes a comparable sales decrease of 4.0% from our core businesses. Our direct businesses increased 5.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008; however, this increase was offset by a decrease of 3.7% in sales from our retail businesses.

Our non-core businesses, which include LivingXL, ShoesXL and B&T Factory Direct, generated sales of $3.5 million and $11.6 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2008, respectively, as compared to sales of $3.1 million and $5.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively.

Negative sales trends continued during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, with our higher-end Rochester business being most affected. In addition, our direct businesses, which had continued to show consistent growth, saw a significant slowdown of that growth during the third quarter. The major driver in our negative sales trends is the lack of store traffic, which was down approximately 10% over the prior year; however, we are continuing to see positive customer conversion rates and steady dollars per transaction rates.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we launched our new mass media campaign aimed towards attracting new customers to our stores and direct businesses, specifically focusing our advertising on our “XL” size customers who may not presently shop Casual Male XL. To further pursue this objective, we are continuing this advertising campaign through the end of fiscal 2008.

Gross Profit Margin

For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, our gross margin rate, inclusive of occupancy costs, was 42.2% as compared to a gross margin rate of 43.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in gross margin rate was the result of a 30 basis point decrease in merchandise margins and a 140 basis point increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of sales. The 140 basis point increase is the result of a relatively fixed occupancy cost over a decreased sales base; actual occupancy costs in dollars increased only 4% over the prior year quarter. The decrease in merchandise margin during the third quarter was negatively affected by: (i) an increase in costs associated with our loyalty program due to increased participation, (ii) increased postage costs from our direct businesses due to increased fuel costs, (iii) increased markdowns on our Rochester merchandise and (iv) a shift in sales mix from our higher margin core business to our lower margin non-core businesses.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, our gross margin rate was 44.2% as compared to 45.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The decrease in margin rate was the result of a 30 basis point decrease in merchandise margin and a 90 basis point increase in occupancy costs. As with the third quarter of fiscal 2008, merchandise margins were negatively impacted by markdowns, a shift in sales mix as well as postage and loyalty program costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were 42.7% of sales as compared to 41.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. On a dollar basis, SG&A expenses decreased 2.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the prior year, with a decrease of 3.0% from our core businesses.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, SG&A expenses were 40.3% of sales as compared to 39.4% of sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, SG&A costs for our non-core businesses increased $3.0 million over the same period of the prior year while expenses for our core businesses decreased 2.9%.

With the weakness in sales continuing this quarter, strong expense control has been a significant priority for us and will be for the remainder of the fiscal year. We continue to be committed to managing our SG&A costs, while continuing to invest in our marketing campaigns and growing our direct businesses.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense was $0.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, net interest expense was $2.4 million as compared to $3.1 million for the prior year. Although average borrowings for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 are slightly higher than the prior year, our total debt outstanding is less at November 1, 2008 and our average interest rate costs are lower due to reduced interest rates. The average interest rate of all of our borrowings at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008 approximated 4.2% compared to approximately 6.2% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2007. See our “Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion below.

13

Income Taxes

As a result of the net operating loss carryforwards available to us, we expect that cash payments for taxes will continue to be minimal at this time. At November 1, 2008, our total gross deferred tax assets were approximately $28.9 million, with a corresponding valuation allowance of $1.2 million. These tax assets principally relate to federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire through 2024. The valuation allowance of $1.2 million is for losses associated with our Canadian operations and certain state net operating losses, the benefit of which may not be recognized due to short carryforward periods.

Net Income

For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we had a net loss of $3.2 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $3.8 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. For the nine months ended November 1, 2008, we had a net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the nine months ended November 3, 2007. The results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, included a loss from discontinued operations of $2.0 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, and $2.8 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, respectively, related to our Jared M. business, which we exited in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Inventory

At November 1, 2008, total inventory was $130.3 million compared to $117.8 million at February 2, 2008 and $139.4 million at November 3, 2007.

Inventory at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased 6.5% as compared to November 3, 2007. The decrease is the result of reductions of inventory across all divisions as part of managing our inventory levels. We expect our inventory levels at year-end for fiscal 2008 to have a similar inventory decrease over the prior year.

SEASONALITY

Historically and consistent with the retail industry, we have experienced seasonal fluctuations in revenues and income, with increases traditionally occurring during our third and fourth quarters as a result of the “Fall” and “Holiday” seasons.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary cash needs are for working capital (essentially inventory requirements) and capital expenditures. Specifically, our capital expenditure program includes projects for new store openings, relocations and remodeling, downsizing or combining existing stores, and improvements and integration of our systems infrastructure. We expect that cash flow from operations, external borrowings and trade credit will enable us to finance our current working capital and expansion requirements. We have financed our working capital requirements, store expansion program, stock repurchase programs and acquisitions with cash flow from operations, external borrowings, and proceeds from equity and debt offerings. Our objective is to maintain a positive cash flow after capital expenditures such that we can support our growth activities with operational cash flows without incurring additional debt.

With the uncertainty surrounding the current economic climate and its continuing impact on the retail industry, we have reprioritized many of our business initiatives to focus on our free cash flow, inventory management and maintaining and strengthening our solid liquidity position. Even in this difficult environment, we expect to generate positive free cash flow for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009.

14

For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million as compared to cash used for operating activities of $15.7 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. The improvement in cash flows from operations was primarily due to the reduction in inventory, which we are closely managing in response to current sales trends.

In addition to cash flow from operations, our other primary source of working capital is our credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Credit Facility”) for a total commitment of $110.0 million. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is October 29, 2011. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates based on Bank of America’s prime rate or the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) and vary depending on our levels of excess availability. Our Credit Facility is described in more detail in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility at November 1, 2008 of $57.9 million. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $2.2 million and outstanding documentary letters of credit were $0.9 million. Average monthly borrowings outstanding under this facility during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were approximately $50.6 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $43.8 million. Unused excess availability at November 1, 2008 was $46.7 million. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on all of our assets. At November 1, 2008, we have reduced our total debt, including our long-term debt, by almost 15%, to $71.5 million from $83.5 million at November 3, 2007, while increasing our unused availability by 21% to $46.7 million.

Master Loan and Security Agreement

On July 20, 2007, we entered into a Master Loan and Security Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“BALC”) for equipment financing. In conjunction with the Master Agreement, we entered into an Equipment Security Note (the “First Secured Note”), whereby we borrowed an aggregate of $17.4 million from BALC. The First Secured Note is due July 20, 2011.

On January 16, 2008, we entered into a second Equipment Security Note (the “Second Secured Note”), pursuant to the same terms and provisions of the Master Agreement, whereby we borrowed an additional $2.1 million. The Second Secured Note is due January 16, 2012.

Both secured notes accrue interest at a per annum rate of 1.75% plus the rate of interest equal to the 30-day published LIBOR rate. Principal and interest, in arrears, are payable monthly on each note, commencing one month after issuance of such note. We are subject to a prepayment penalty on both secured notes equal to 1% of the prepaid principal until the first anniversary of the respective secured note, 0.5% of the prepaid principal from the first day after the first anniversary through the end of the second anniversary and no prepayment penalty thereafter. At November 1, 2008, the outstanding balance of the secured notes was $13.7 million.

Both notes are secured by a security interest in all of our rights, title and interest in and to certain equipment.

Dahle Acquisition

During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we acquired certain assets of Dahle Management Corporation (“Dahle”), an operator of 15 big and tall men’s apparel stores located in nine states. Under the asset purchase agreement, the operations of 8 Dahle’s Big and Tall men’s stores were acquired and were converted to Casual Male XL retail locations during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The 7 remaining locations, all of which compete directly with our Casual Male XL business, will be closed by Dahle before the end of January 2009. In addition to the store locations, we also acquired Dahle’s customer list from their internet and catalog business, as well as their retail business.

Stock Repurchase Program

During fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors adopted a $75 million stock repurchase program, which was scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2007. On January 9, 2008, our Board of Directors extended this repurchase program authorizing us to continue to repurchase stock using the approximately $24.1 million remaining under the program. The repurchases may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The stock repurchase program will expire on December 31, 2008, but may be terminated earlier at any time without prior notice.

15

No repurchases were made during the first nine months of fiscal 2008. As of November 1, 2008, we have repurchased approximately 4.3 million shares for an aggregate price of $50.9 million pursuant to this program.

Capital Expenditures

The following table sets forth the stores opened and related square footage at November 1, 2008 and November 3, 2007, respectively:

	At November 1, 2008		At November 3, 2007
Store Concept	Number of Stores	Square Footage	Number of Stores	Square Footage
(square footage in thousands)
Casual Male XL	473	1,654	471	1,624
Rochester Big & Tall	27	220	26	215
Total Stores	500	1,874	497	1,839

Total cash outlays for capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were $9.4 million as compared to $16.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, representing a 42% decrease in capital expenditures. In addition, we anticipate reducing our capital expenditures further to $5.0 million for fiscal 2009. Below is a summary of store openings and closings since February 2, 2008:

	Casual Male		Rochester Big & Tall	Total stores
At February 2, 2008	462		26	488
New outlet stores	2		1	3
New retail stores	13		—	13
Closed stores	(4	)	—	(4	)
At November 1, 2008	473		27	500
Relocations	5		—	5

We expect our total capital expenditures for fiscal 2008 will be approximately $11.5 million, of which $5.9 million relates to capital for new stores, relocations and remodels. The budget also includes approximately $3.4 million for system enhancements, including our inventory integration project. Included in store expansion are funds to relocate approximately 10 of our existing Casual Male XL retail stores at an estimated cost of $150,000 for each location.

For the remainder of fiscal 2008, we expect to close 4 existing Casual Male XL retail stores as their respective leases expire and relocate 2 other store locations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2008 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2008.

Goodwill

During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, given the economy and its impact on our current market capitalization, we performed an interim assessment of impairment for goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142 and have determined that no impairment has occurred as of November 1, 2008. See Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

16

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In the normal course of business, our financial position and results of operations are routinely subject to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movements on borrowings and foreign currency fluctuations. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures.

Interest Rates

We utilize cash from operations and from our Credit Facility to fund our working capital needs. Our Credit Facility is not used for trading or speculative purposes. In addition, we have available letters of credit as sources of financing for our working capital requirements. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, which expires October 29, 2011, bear interest at variable rates based on Bank of America’s prime rate or the LIBOR. At November 1, 2008, the interest rate on our prime based borrowings was 4.00%. Approximately $10.0 million of our outstanding borrowings were in a LIBOR contract with an interest rate of 5.22%. Based upon a sensitivity analysis as of November 1, 2008, assuming average outstanding borrowing during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 of $50.6 million, a 50 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in a potential increase in interest expense of approximately $253,000.

Foreign Currency

Our Sears Canada catalog operations conduct business in Canadian dollars and our Rochester Big & Tall Clothing store located in London, England conducts business in British pounds. If the value of the Canadian dollar or the British pound against the U.S. dollar weakens, the revenues and earnings of these operations will be reduced when they are translated to U.S. dollars. Also, the value of these assets to U.S. dollars may decline. As of November 1, 2008, sales from our Sears Canada operations, our London Rochester Big & Tall store and our international e-commerce sites were immaterial to consolidated sales. As such, we believe that movement in foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse affect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of November 1, 2008. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of November 1, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended November 1, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

17

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the resolution of these matters will not have an adverse impact on our operations or financial position.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A (“Risk Factors”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2008 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2008, except for the following:

Disruptions in the capital and credit markets related to the current national and world-wide financial crisis, which may continue indefinitely or intensify, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, or those of our customers and vendors.

The current disruptions in the capital and credit markets may continue indefinitely or intensify, and adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, or those of our customers and vendors. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect our access to liquidity. Such disruptions may also adversely impact the capital needs of our customers and vendors, which, in turn, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

We may not be able to maintain our listing on The NASDAQ Global Market, which would adversely affect the price and liquidity of our common stock.

To maintain the listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market we are required to meet certain listing requirements, including a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. Our common stock traded below the $1.00 minimum bid price on November 18, 2008, November 19, 2008 and November 20, 2008. Under normal circumstances, companies traded on Nasdaq would receive a deficiency notice from Nasdaq if their common stock has traded below the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days. Due to market conditions, however, on October 16, 2008, Nasdaq announced suspension of the enforcement of rules requiring a minimum $1.00 closing bid price, with the suspension to remain in place until Friday, January 16, 2009. If our common stock continues to trade below the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days following the end of Nasdaq’s enforcement suspension, we would likely receive a deficiency notice. Following receipt of a deficiency notice, we expect we would have 180 calendar days to regain compliance by having our common stock trade over the $1.00 minimum bid price for at least a 10-day period. If we were to fail to meet the minimum bid price for at least 10 consecutive days during the grace period, our common stock could be delisted. Even if we are able to comply with the minimum bid requirement, there is no assurance that in the future we will continue to satisfy Nasdaq listing requirements, with the result that our common stock may be delisted. Should our common stock be delisted from Nasdaq, and the delisting determination was based solely on non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price, we may consider applying to transfer our common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market provided that we satisfy all criteria for initial inclusion on such market other than the minimum bid price rule. In the event of such a transfer, the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules provide that we would have an additional 180 calendar days to comply with the minimum bid price rule while on The NASDAQ Capital Market. If our stock is delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market and The NASDAQ Capital Market, it would likely be more difficult to trade in or obtain accurate quotations as to the market price of our common stock. Delisting of our common stock could materially adversely affect the market price and market liquidity of our common stock and our ability to raise necessary capital.
