_________________________________________

(a)

Stores net sales represent all Full-line Store sales. Direct Marketing net sales represent catalog call center and Internet sales. Net sales from operating segments below the GAAP quantitative thresholds are attributable primarily to our two other operating segments — Outlet and Factory stores and Franchise stores. These operating segments have never met any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and are included in “Corporate and Other.”

(b)

Operating income (loss) for the Stores and Direct Marketing segments represents profit before allocations of overhead from the corporate office and the distribution centers (except order fulfillment costs which are allocated to Direct Marketing), interest and income taxes (“four wall” contribution). Total Company shipping costs to customers of approximately $3.1 million and $3.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal years 2011 and 2012 , respectively, and approximately $10.4 million and $11.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal years 2011 and 2012, respectively, were recorded to “Sales and marketing, including occupancy costs” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Operating income (loss) for “Corporate and Other” consists primarily of costs included in general and administrative costs and operating income or loss related to the Outlet and Factory stores and the Franchise stores operating segments. Total operating income represents profit before interest and income taxes.


(c)	Capital expenditures include payments for property, plant and equipment made for the reportable segment.

- Definition

An entity discloses certain information on each reportable segment if the amounts (a) are included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief operating decision maker or (b) are otherwise regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, even if not included in that measure of segment profit or loss.
