Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending February 2, 2013 and of the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012. Certain items included in these statements are based on management’s estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2012.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial position.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company also adopted ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The implementation of the amended reporting guidance had no effect on our disclosures.

 

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
