Unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $7.3 million during the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The decreases were primarily due to income tax settlements and other changes in income tax reserves. Over the next twelve months, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $8.2 million due to settlements, expiration of statute of limitations or other changes in unrecognized tax benefits.
