	1.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Nature of Business
	The Company is organized under the laws of the State of California. Effective October 18, 2013, 99¢ Only Stores converted from a California corporation to a California limited liability company, 99 Cents Only Stores LLC, that is managed by its sole member, Number Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”).  The term “Company” refers to 99¢ Only Stores and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Conversion (as defined below) and to 99 Cents Only Stores LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries at the time of or after the Conversion.  The Company is an extreme value retailer of consumable and general merchandise and seasonal products.  As of January 30, 2015, the Company operated 383 retail stores with 277 in California, 49 in Texas, 36 in Arizona, and 21 in Nevada.  The Company is also a wholesale distributor of various products.
	Merger
	On January 13, 2012, the Company was acquired through a merger (the “Merger”) with a subsidiary of Number Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation with the Company surviving.  In connection with the Merger, the Company became a subsidiary of Parent, which is controlled by affiliates of Ares Management, L.P. (“Ares”), Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”) (together, the “Sponsors”) and, prior to the Gold-Schiffer Purchase (as described in Note 9, “Related-Party Transactions”), the Rollover Investors (as described in Note 9, “Related-Party Transactions”).  As a result of the Merger, the Company’s common stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and the Company ceased to be a publicly held and traded equity company.
	Conversion to LLC
	On October 18, 2013, 99¢ Only Stores converted (the “Conversion”) from a California corporation to a California limited liability company, 99 Cents Only Stores LLC (“99 LLC”), that is managed by its sole member, Parent.  In connection with the Conversion, each outstanding share of Class A common stock of 99¢ Only Stores, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into one membership unit of 99 LLC, and each outstanding share of Class B common stock of 99¢ Only Stores, par value $0.01 per share, was cancelled and forfeited.  Pursuant to the laws of the State of California, all rights and property of 99¢ Only Stores were vested in 99 LLC and all debts, liabilities and obligations of 99¢ Only Stores continued as debts, liabilities and obligations of 99 LLC.  99 LLC has elected to be treated as a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes.  The Conversion did not have any effect on deferred tax assets or liabilities, and the Company will continue to use the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The Company and Parent will continue to file consolidated or combined income tax returns with its subsidiaries in all jurisdictions.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Change in Fiscal Year
	On December 16, 2013, the board of directors of the Company’s sole member, Parent, approved a resolution changing the end of the Company’s fiscal year. Prior to the change, the fiscal year of the Company ended on the Saturday closest to the last day of March.  The Company’s new fiscal year end is the Friday closest to the last day of January, with each successive quarterly period ending the Friday closest to the last day of April, July, October or January, as applicable.
	The Company follows a fiscal calendar consisting of four quarters with 91 days, each ending on the Friday closest to the calendar quarter-end, and a 52-week fiscal year with 364 days, with a 53-week year every five to six years.  Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this report relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.  The Company’s fiscal year 2015 (“fiscal 2015”) began on February 1, 2014, and ended January 30, 2015 and consisted of 52 weeks.  The Company’s fiscal year 2014 (“transition fiscal 2014” or the “ten months ended January 31, 2014”) began on March 31, 2013 and ended on January 31, 2014 and consisted of 44 weeks.  The Company’s fiscal year 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) began on April 1, 2012 and ended on March 30, 2013 and consisted of 52 weeks.
	See Note 2, “Change in Fiscal Year” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the comparative Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the ten months ended January 31, 2014 (a 44-week period) and ten months ended January 26, 2013 (a 43-week period).
	Change in Presentation of Financial Statements
	In the first quarter ended May 2, 2014 (the “first quarter of fiscal 2015”), the Company changed the presentation of its financial statements to include receiving, distribution, warehouse costs and transportation to and from stores in its cost of sales. Previously, these costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Depreciation expense related to these costs, which was historically included in selling, general and administrative expense, is now also included in cost of sales.  Also, depreciation and amortization expense previously included in selling, general and administrative expense is no longer presented separately.  Reclassifications of $87.0 million and $88.8 million from selling, general and administrative expense to cost of sales were made for transition fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, to conform to current year presentation.  This change does not change previously reported operating income or net income.
	This change in presentation of financial statements was made in order to be in line with the Company’s peers in the retail industry.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Cash
	For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes cash on hand, cash at the stores and cash in financial institutions.  The majority of payments due from financial institutions for the settlement of debit card and credit card transactions are processed within three business days and therefore are also classified as cash.  Cash balances held at financial institutions are generally in excess of federally insured limits.  These accounts are only insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  The Company’s cash balances held at financial institutions and exceeding FDIC insurance totaled $2.1 million and $35.0 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company historically has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  The Company places its temporary cash investments with what it believes to be high credit, quality financial institutions.  Under the Company’s cash management system, checks issued but not presented to the bank may result in book cash overdraft balances for accounting purposes.  The Company reclassifies book overdrafts to accounts payable, which are reflected as an operating activity in its consolidated statements of cash flows.  Book overdrafts included in accounts payable were $16.5 million and $9.3 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively.
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	In connection with its wholesale business, the Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors.  In cases where the Company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, the Company will record an allowance against amounts due and thereby reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected.  For all other customers and tenants, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, industry and geographic concentrations, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experiences.
	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is established using a methodology that approximates first in, first out, which for store inventories is based on a retail inventory method.  Valuation allowances for shrinkage as well as excess and obsolete inventory are also recorded.  Shrinkage is estimated as a percentage of sales for the period from the last physical inventory date to the end of the applicable period.  Such estimates are based on experience and the most recent physical inventory results.  Physical inventory counts are completed at each of the Company’s retail stores at least once a year by an outside inventory service company.  The Company performs inventory cycle counts at its warehouses throughout the year.  The Company also performs inventory reviews and analysis on a quarterly basis for both warehouse and store inventory to determine inventory valuation allowances for excess and obsolete inventory.  The valuation allowances for excess and obsolete inventory are based on the age of the inventory, sales trends and future merchandising plans.  The valuation allowances for excess and obsolete inventory require management judgment and estimates that may impact the ending inventory valuation and valuation allowances that may affect the reported gross margin for the period.
	In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company revised its inventory merchandising and liquidation philosophies to significantly reduce and liquidate slow moving inventories prospectively as directed by the then current management team.  As a result of this change, the Company recorded a charge to cost of sales and a corresponding reduction in inventory of approximately $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. This was a prospective change and did not have an effect on prior periods.
	At the end of the third quarter of transition fiscal 2014, based on new merchandising plans, the Company increased its valuation allowances for excess and obsolete inventory.  The Company recorded a charge to cost of sales and a corresponding reduction in inventory of approximately $9.6 million.  This was a prospective change and did not have an effect on prior periods.
	In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a charge for additional inventory shrinkage based upon the results of annual physical inventory counts completed during the quarter. This resulted in a net charge to cost of sales and a corresponding reduction in inventory of approximately $10.0 million, which was primarily related to the implementation of certain strategic initiatives, including the “Go Taller” store remodeling program.
	In order to obtain inventory at attractive prices, the Company takes advantage of large volume purchases, closeouts and other similar purchases.  As such, the Company’s inventory fluctuates from period to period and the inventory balances vary based on the timing and availability of such opportunities.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:
	Owned buildings and improvements	Lesser of 30 years or the estimated useful life of the improvement
	Leasehold improvements	Lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement or remaining lease term
	Fixtures and equipment	3-5 years
	Transportation equipment	3-5 years
	Information technology systems	For major corporate systems, estimated useful life up to 7 years; for functional standalone systems, estimated useful life up to 5 years
	The Company’s policy is to capitalize expenditures that materially increase asset lives and expense ordinary repairs and maintenance as incurred.
	Long-Lived Assets
	The Company assesses the impairment of depreciable long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  The Company groups and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment at the individual store level, which is the lowest level at which individual identifiable cash flows are available.  Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to expected future net cash flows generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount is compared to its fair value and an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference.  Factors that the Company considers important that could individually or in combination trigger an impairment review include the following: (1) significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (2) significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; and (3) significant changes in the Company’s business strategies and/or negative industry or economic trends.  On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses whether events or changes in circumstances occur that potentially indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable (Level 3 measurement, see Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate projected future operating cash flows.  Accordingly, if actual results fall short of such estimates, significant future impairments could result.  During fiscal 2015, the Company wrote down the carrying value of a held for sale property to the estimated net realizable value, net of expected disposal costs, and accordingly recorded an asset impairment charge of $0.1 million.  During transition fiscal 2014, the Company did not record any long-lived asset impairment charges.  During fiscal 2013, the Company wrote down the carrying value of a held for sale property to the estimated net realizable value, net of expected disposal costs, and accordingly recorded an asset impairment charge of $0.5 million.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	In connection with the Merger purchase price allocation, the fair values of long-lived and intangible assets were determined based upon assumptions related to the future cash flows, discount rates and asset lives using then available information, and in some cases were obtained from independent professional valuation experts.  The Company amortizes intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite.
	Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead tested annually for impairment or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned.  The Company has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step one of the goodwill impairment test). If the Company does not perform a qualitative assessment, or determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is considered not impaired; otherwise, goodwill is impaired and the loss is measured by performing step two. Under step two, the impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. Management has determined that the Company has two reporting units, the retail reporting unit and the wholesale reporting unit.  The amount of goodwill allocated to the retail reporting unit and wholesale reporting unit was $467.2 and $12.5 million, respectively, as of January 30, 2015.
	The Company performs the annual test for impairment in January of the fiscal year and determines fair value based on a combination of the income approach and the market approach. The income approach is based on discounted cash flows to determine fair value. The market approach uses a selection of comparable companies and transactions in determining fair value. The fair value of the trade name is also tested for impairment in the fourth quarter by comparing the carrying value to the fair value. Fair value of a trade name is determined using a relief from royalty method under the income approach, which uses projected revenue allocable to the trade name and an assumed royalty rate (Level 3 measurement, see Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).
	During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company completed step one of its goodwill impairment test for the two reporting units and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill since the fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying amount.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company completed its annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test and determined there was no impairment since the fair value of the trade name exceeded the carrying amount.
	Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows, and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values.  Significant judgment is required in determining whether a potential indicator of impairment of long-lived assets exists and in estimating future cash flows used in the impairment tests (Level 3 measurement, see Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).
	Derivatives
	The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with authoritative guidance for derivative instrument and hedging activities.  All financial instrument positions taken by the Company are intended to be used to manage risks associated with interest rate exposures.
	The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, and are recorded in either current or noncurrent assets or liabilities based on their maturity.  Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded in net earnings or other comprehensive income (“OCI”), based on whether the instrument is designated and effective as a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction.  Gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) are reclassified to earnings in the period the hedged item affects earnings.  Any ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings in the period incurred.
	Income Taxes
	The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is established accordingly.  The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position.  The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.  Refer to Note 5, “Income Tax Provision” for further discussion of income taxes.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for stock-based payment awards based on their fair value.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense ratably over the requisite service periods.  For awards classified as equity, the Company estimates the fair value for each option award as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other appropriate valuation models.  The Black-Scholes model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the stock price.  Stock options are generally granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock at the dates of grant.  Former executive put rights were classified as equity awards and revalued using a binomial model at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized as stock-based compensation expense.  The fair value of the options that will vest based on the Company’s and Parent’s achievement of certain performance hurdles were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation method.  Refer to Note 11, “Stock-Based Compensation Plans” for further discussion of stock-based compensation.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes retail sales in its retail stores at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise.  All sales are net of discounts and returns and exclude sales tax.  Wholesale sales are recognized in accordance with the shipping terms agreed upon on the purchase order. Wholesale sales are typically recognized free on board origin, where title and risk of loss pass to the buyer when the merchandise leaves the Company’s distribution facility.
	The Company has a gift card program.  The Company does not charge administrative fees on gift cards and the Company’s gift cards do not have expiration dates.  The Company records the sale of gift cards as a current liability and recognizes a sale when a customer redeems a gift card.  The liability for outstanding gift cards is recorded in accrued expenses.
	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory, freight in, obsolescence, spoilage, scrap and inventory shrinkage, and is net of discounts and allowances.  Cost of sales also includes receiving, warehouse costs and distribution costs (which include payroll and associated costs, occupancy, transportation to and from stores and depreciation expense).  Cash discounts for satisfying early payment terms are recognized when payment is made, and allowances and rebates based upon milestone achievements such as reaching a certain volume of purchases of a vendor’s products are included as a reduction of cost of sales when such contractual milestones are reached.  In addition, the Company analyzes its inventory levels and the related cash discounts received to arrive at a value for cash discounts to be included in the inventory balance.
	Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
	Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs of selling merchandise in stores (which include payroll and associated costs, occupancy and other store-level costs) and corporate costs (which include payroll and associated costs, occupancy, advertising, professional fees and other corporate administrative costs).  Selling, general and administrative expenses also include depreciation and amortization expense relating to these costs.
	Leases
	The Company follows the policy of capitalizing allowable expenditures that relate to the acquisition and signing of its retail store leases. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term.
	The Company recognizes rent expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis (including the effect of reduced or free rent and rent escalations) over the applicable lease term.  The difference between the cash paid to the landlord and the amount recognized as rent expense on a straight-line basis is included in deferred rent.  Cash reimbursements received from landlords for leasehold improvements and other cash payments received from landlords as lease incentives are recorded as deferred rent.  Deferred rent related to landlord incentives is amortized as an offset to rent expense using the straight-line method over the applicable lease term.
	In certain lease arrangements, the Company can be involved with the construction of the building. If it is determined that the Company has substantially all of the risks of ownership during construction of the leased property and therefore is deemed to be the owner of the construction project, the Company records an asset for the amount of the total project costs and an amount related to the value attributed to the pre-existing leased building in property and equipment, net and the related financing obligation as part of current and non-current liabilities.  Once construction is complete, if it is determined that the asset does not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting treatment, the Company amortizes the obligation over the lease term and depreciates the asset over the life of the lease. The Company does not report rent expense for the portion of the rent payment determined to be related to the assets which are owned for accounting purposes. Rather, this portion of the rent payment under the lease is recognized as a reduction of the financing obligation and interest expense.
	For store closures where a lease obligation still exists, the Company records the estimated future liability associated with the rental obligation on the cease use date (when the store is closed).  Liabilities are established at the cease use date for the present value of any remaining operating lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income, and at the communication date for severance and other exit costs.  Key assumptions in calculating the liability include the timeframe expected to terminate lease agreements, estimates related to the sublease potential of closed locations, and estimates of other related exit costs.  If actual timing and potential termination costs or realization of sublease income differ from the Company’s estimates, the resulting liabilities could vary from recorded amounts. These liabilities are reviewed periodically and adjusted when necessary.
During fiscal 2013, the Company sold and leased back three stores and the resulting leases qualify and are accounted for as operating leases.  The net proceeds from the sale-leaseback transactions amounted to $5.3 million.  Gains of $0.4 million were deferred and are being amortized over the term of lease (12-15 years).
Self-Insured Workers’ Compensation Liability
The Company self-insures for workers’ compensation claims in California and Texas.  The Company establishes a liability for losses from both estimated known and incurred but not reported insurance claims based on reported claims and actuarial valuations of estimated future costs of known and incurred but not yet reported claims.  Should an amount of claims greater than anticipated occur, the liability recorded may not be sufficient and additional workers’ compensation costs, which may be significant, could be incurred.  The Company has not discounted the projected future cash outlays for the time value of money for claims and claim-related costs when establishing its workers’ compensation liability in its financial reports for January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014.
Self-Insured Health Insurance Liability
The Company self-insures for a portion of its employee medical benefit claims.  The liability for the self-funded portion of the Company health insurance program is determined actuarially, based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported.  The Company maintains stop loss insurance coverage to limit its exposure for the self-funded portion of its health insurance program.
Pre-Opening Costs
The Company expenses, as incurred, pre-opening costs such as payroll, rent and marketing related to the opening of new retail stores.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expenses were $6.2 million for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2015.  Advertising expenses were $4.4 million for the ten months ended January 31, 2014.  Advertising expenses were $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, interest rate derivatives, accounts payable, accruals, debt, and other liabilities.  Cash and interest rate derivatives are measured and recorded at fair value.  Accounts receivable and other receivables are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value.  Accounts payable and other accrued expenses are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value.  Refer to Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for further discussion of the fair value of debt.
The Company uses the authoritative guidance for fair value, which includes the definition of fair value, the framework for measuring fair value, and disclosures about fair value measurements.  Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  Fair value measurements reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available.  Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model.
Comprehensive Income
Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) includes unrealized gains or losses on investments and interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.  The following table sets forth the calculation of comprehensive income, net of tax effects, for the periods indicated (in thousands):
	Year Ended			Ten Months			Year Ended
				Ended
	January 30,			January 31,			March 30, 2013
	2015			2014
Net income (loss)	$	5,502		$	(12,485	)	$	(8,909	)
Unrealized holding gains on marketable securities, net of tax effects of $0 in fiscal 2015, $0 in transition fiscal 2014 and $3 in fiscal 2013	—			—			4
Unrealized losses on interest rate cash flow hedge, net of tax effects of $(384) in fiscal 2015, $(190) in transition fiscal 2014 and $(835) in fiscal 2013	(576		)	(284		)	(1,252		)
Reclassification adjustment, net of tax effects of $647 in fiscal 2015, $97 in transition fiscal 2014 and $(18) in fiscal 2013	969			145			(27		)
Total unrealized holding gains (losses), net	393			(139		)	(1,275		)
Total comprehensive income (loss)	$	5,895		$	(12,624	)	$	(10,184	)
Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss as January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 consisted of unrealized losses on interest rate cash flow hedges. Reclassifications out of AOCI in fiscal 2015 and transition fiscal 2014 are presented in Note 7, “Derivative Financial Instruments.”
New Authoritative Standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”), which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  ASU 2013-11 provides guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar loss or a tax credit carryforward exists.  Under certain circumstances, unrecognized tax benefits should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward.  The Company adopted ASU 2013-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.  There is no material impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”).  ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations.  Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.  ASU 2014-08 is effective for all disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and such adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”).  ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach.  ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted.  In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This ASU requires management to assess whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued.  If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosures are required. This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and such adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations: Pushdown Accounting.” This ASU provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. An acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable. ASU 2014-17 was effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items: Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” This ASU eliminates the concept of extraordinary items under GAAP, which, among other things, required an entity to segregate extraordinary items considered to be unusual and infrequent from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations.  This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and such adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.

	The difference between the statutory rate of 35% and the effective tax rate for fiscal 2015 was driven primarily by the impact of state income taxes and the non-deductibility of certain costs.
	The difference between the statutory rate of 35% and the effective tax rate for transition fiscal 2014 was driven primarily by the release of valuation allowance on the California Enterprise Zone (“EZ”) credit carry-forward, deductibility of federal hiring credits and other discrete items recognized during transition fiscal 2014.

	The Company previously maintained a valuation allowance to reduce certain deferred tax assets to amounts that were, in management’s estimation, more likely than not to be realized.  During the second quarter of transition fiscal 2014, the legislation that eliminated the EZ hiring credits after December 31, 2013 was signed into law. As a result, the Company will no longer be adding to its existing EZ credit carryforwards after transition fiscal 2014.  Rather, the Company will be able to utilize its EZ credit carryforwards over the next ten years.  As a result of the law change, the Company released the valuation allowance associated with its $11.6 million of California EZ credit carryforwards as a discrete item in the second quarter of transition fiscal 2014.  Additionally, in transition fiscal 2014, a $1.7 million discrete charge was recognized relating to the payment made as part of the Gold-Schiffer Purchase to repurchase all options held by the Sellers. See Note 9, “Related-Party Transactions” for more information regarding the Gold-Schiffer Purchase.
	As of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, the Company had not accrued any liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits, and had also not accrued any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions for the relevant periods. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various states.  The Company is subject to examinations by the major tax jurisdictions in which it files for the tax years 2009 forward.  The federal tax returns for the period ended March 27, 2010 and period ended March 31, 2012 were examined by the Internal Revenue Service resulting in no changes to the reported tax.

	On January 13, 2012 (the “Original Closing Date”), in connection with the Merger, the Company obtained Credit Facilities (as defined below) provided by a syndicate of lenders arranged by Royal Bank of Canada as administrative agent, as well as other agents and lenders that are parties to the agreements governing these Credit Facilities.  The Credit Facilities include (a) a first lien based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “ABL Facility”), and (b) a first lien term loan facility (as amended, the “First Lien Term Loan Facility” and together with the ABL Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).
	First Lien Term Loan Facility
	Under the First Lien Term Loan Facility, (i) $525.0 million of term loans were incurred on the Original Closing Date and (ii) $100.0 million of additional term loans were incurred pursuant to an incremental facility effected through an amendment entered into on October 8, 2013 (the “Second Amendment”) (all such term loans, collectively, the “Term Loans”).  The First Lien Term Loan Facility has a term of seven years with a maturity date of January 13, 2019.  All obligations under the First Lien Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by Parent and the Company’s direct or indirect 100% owned subsidiaries, except for immaterial subsidiaries (collectively, the “Credit Facilities Guarantors”).  In addition, the First Lien Term Loan Facility is secured by pledges of certain of the Company’s equity interests and the equity interests of the Credit Facilities Guarantors.
	The Company is required to make scheduled quarterly payments each equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Term Loans, with the balance due on the maturity date.  Borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (i) a base rate (the “Base Rate”) determined by reference to the highest of (a) the interest rate in effect determined by the administrative agent as the “Prime Rate” (3.25% as of January 30, 2015), (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate for one month (determined by reference to the greater of the Eurocurrency rate for the interest period subject to certain adjustments) plus 1.00%, or (ii) an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate.
	On April 4, 2012, the Company amended the terms of the First Lien Term Loan Facility (the “First Amendment”) and incurred related refinancing costs of $11.2 million.  The First Amendment, among other things, (i) decreased the applicable margin from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 5.50% (or Base Rate plus 4.50%) to LIBOR plus 4.00% (or Base Rate plus 3.00%) and (ii) decreased the LIBOR floor from 1.50% to 1.25%.
	In connection with the First Amendment and in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized a $16.3 million loss on debt extinguishment related to a portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized original issue discount (“OID”) and other related refinancing costs.  The Company recorded $0.3 million of deferred debt issuance costs and $5.9 million of OID in connection with the First Amendment in fiscal 2013.
	On October 8, 2013, the Company entered into the Second Amendment, which among other things, (i) provided $100.0 million of additional term loans as described above, (ii) decreased the applicable margin from LIBOR plus 4.00% (or Base Rate plus 3.00%) to LIBOR plus 3.50% (or Base Rate plus 2.50%) and (iii) decreased the LIBOR floor from 1.25% to 1.00%.  The Company will continue to be required to make scheduled quarterly payments each equal to 0.25% of the amended principal amount of the Term Loans (approximately $1.5 million).
	In connection with the Second Amendment and in the third quarter of transition fiscal 2014, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $4.4 million related to a portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized OID and other repricing costs.  The Company recorded $1.6 million as deferred debt issuance costs in connection with the Second Amendment in transition fiscal 2014.
	In addition, the Second Amendment (i) amended certain restricted payment provisions, (ii) removed the maximum capital expenditures covenant from the agreement governing the First Lien Term Loan Facility, (iii) modified the existing provision restricting the Company’s ability to make dividend and other payments so that from and after March 31, 2013, the permitted payment amount represents the sum of (a) a calculation based on 50% of Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the First Lien Term Loan Facility agreement), if positive, or a deficit of 100% of Consolidated Net Income, if negative, and (b) $20.0 million, and (iv) permitted proceeds of any sale leasebacks of any assets acquired after January 13, 2012, to be reinvested in the Company’s business without restriction.
	As of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, the interest rate charged on the First Lien Term Loan Facility was 4.50% (1.00% Eurocurrency rate, plus the Eurocurrency loan margin of 3.50%).  As of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 amount outstanding under the First Lien Term Loan Facility was $600.5 million and $605.4 million, respectively.
	Following the end of each fiscal year, the Company is required to make prepayments on the First Lien Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to (i) 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the agreement governing the First Lien Term Loan Facility), with the ability to step down to 25% and 0% upon achievement of specified total leverage ratios, minus (ii) the amount of certain voluntary prepayments made on the First Lien Term Loan Facility and/or the ABL Facility during such fiscal year. The Excess Cash Flow required payment for fiscal 2013 was $3.3 million and was made in July 2013. There was no Excess Cash Flow payment required for fiscal 2015 and transition fiscal 2014.
	The First Lien Term Loan Facility includes certain customary restrictions, among other things, on the Company’s ability and the ability of Parent, 99 Cents Texas and certain future subsidiaries of the Company to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, acquisitions or investments, materially change the Company’s business, incur or permit to exist certain liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, sell assets, make capital expenditures or merge or consolidate with or into, another company. As of January 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the First Lien Term Loan Facility.
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to limit the variability of cash flows associated with interest payments on the First Lien Term Loan Facility that result from fluctuations in the LIBOR rate.  See Note 7, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for more information on the Company’s interest rate swap agreement.
	ABL Facility
	The ABL Facility provides for up to $175.0 million of borrowings, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may increase the commitments under the ABL Facility by up to $50.0 million. All obligations under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by Parent and the other Credit Facilities Guarantors. The ABL Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Credit Facilities Guarantors.
	Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate based, at the Company’s option, on (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin to be determined (1.75% as of January 30, 2015) or (ii) the determined base rate (Prime Rate) plus an applicable margin to be determined (0.75% at January 30, 2015), in each case based on a pricing grid depending on average daily excess availability for the most recently ended quarter.  The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility was 1.99% as of January 30, 2015.
	In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Credit Facilities, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the ABL Facility on unused commitments.  The commitment fee is adjusted at the beginning of each quarter based upon the average historical excess availability of the prior quarter (0.50% for the quarter ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014).  The Company must also pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees.
	As of January 30, 2015, borrowings under the ABL Facility were $57.0 million, outstanding letters of credit were $2.5 million and availability under the ABL Facility subject to the borrowing base, was $115.5 million.  As of January 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility and outstanding letters of credit were $1.0 million.
	The ABL Facility includes restrictions on the Company’s ability, and the ability of Parent and certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase, its capital stock, make certain acquisitions or investments, materially change its business, incur or permit to exist certain liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, sell assets or merge or consolidate with or into another company.
	On October 8, 2013, the ABL Facility was amended to among other things, modify the provision restricting the Company’s ability to make dividend and other payments.  Such payments are subject to achievement of Excess Availability (as defined in the agreement governing the ABL Facility) and a ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the agreement governing the ABL Facility) to fixed charges.  As of January 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the ABL Facility.
	Senior Notes
	On December 29, 2011, the Company issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Notes that mature on December 15, 2019 (the “Senior Notes”).  The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the same subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facilities (the “Senior Notes Guarantors”).
	Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”), the Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at certain redemption prices that vary based on the date of redemption.  The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments, and may at any time or from time to time purchase notes in the open market.
	The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, create or incur certain liens, pay dividends or make other restricted payments and investments, incur restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions from restricted subsidiaries, sell assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, or merge or consolidate with other companies.  As of January 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Indenture.

	7.Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company entered into derivative instruments for risk management purposes and uses these derivatives to manage exposure to fluctuation in interest rates.
	Interest Rate Cap
	In May 2012, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement for an aggregate notional amount of $261.8 million in order to hedge the variability of cash flows related to a portion of the Company’s floating rate indebtedness.  The cap agreement, effective in May 2012, hedged a portion of contractual floating rate interest commitments through the expiration of the agreement in November 2013.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company had capped LIBOR at 3.00% plus an applicable margin of 4.00% with respect to the aggregate notional amount of $261.8 million.  In the event LIBOR exceeded 3.00%, the Company would have paid interest at the capped rate.  In the event LIBOR was less than 3.00%, the Company would have paid interest at the prevailing LIBOR rate.  In transition fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company paid interest at the prevailing LIBOR rate.
	The interest rate cap agreement was not designated as a hedge for financial reporting purposes.  Gains and losses on derivative instruments not designated as hedges were recorded directly in earnings.
	Interest Rate Swap
	In May 2012, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement for an initial aggregate notional amount of $261.8 million to limit exposure to interest rate increases related to a portion of the Company’s floating rate indebtedness once the Company’s interest rate cap agreement expires.  The swap agreement, effective November 2013, hedges a portion of contractual floating rate interest commitments through the expiration of the swap agreement in May 2016.  As a result of the agreement, the Company’s effective fixed interest rate on the notional amount of floating rate indebtedness will be 1.36% plus an applicable margin of 3.50%.
	The Company designated the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge.  The interest rate swap agreement is highly correlated to the changes in interest rates to which the Company is exposed.  Unrealized gains and losses on the interest rate swap are designated as effective or ineffective.  The effective portion of such gains or losses is recorded as a component of AOCI or loss, while the ineffective portion of such gains or losses is recorded as a component of interest expense. Future realized gains and losses in connection with each required interest payment will be reclassified from AOCI or loss to interest expense.
	Fair Value
	The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves (Level 2, as defined in Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).

	The Company complies with authoritative guidance for fair value measurement and disclosures which establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
	Level 1: Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2: Defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices.  These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3: Defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
	The Company uses the best available information in measuring fair value. The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Level 1 measurements include $0.7 million of deferred compensation assets that fund the liabilities related to the Company’s deferred compensation, including investments in trust funds.  The fair values of these funds are based on quoted market prices in an active market.
	Level 2 measurements include interest rate swap agreement estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves.
	There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities as of January 30, 2015.

	There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities as of January 31, 2014.
	The Company did not have any transfers of investments in and out of Levels 1 and 2 during the transition fiscal 2014.
	The outstanding debt under the Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes is recorded in the financial statements at historical cost, net of applicable unamortized discounts.
	The Company’s Credit Facilities are tied directly to market rates and fluctuate as market rates change; as a result, the carrying value of the Credit Facilities approximated fair value as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014.
	The fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated at $264.7 million, or $14.7 million greater than the carrying value, as of January 30, 2015, based on quoted market prices of the debt (Level 1 inputs).  The fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated at $282.5 million, or $32.5 million greater than the carrying value, as of January 31, 2014, based on quoted market prices of the debt (Level 1 inputs).
	See Note 6, “Debt” for more information on the Company’s debt.
	Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
	During fiscal 2015, the Company wrote down the carrying value of property held for sale to its fair value of $1.4 million from $1.5 million, resulting in an asset impairment charge of $0.1 million. Fair value was determined on the basis of a purchase agreement, less estimated cost to sell.  During fiscal 2013, the Company wrote down the carrying value of land held for sale to its fair value of $1.7 million from $2.2 million, resulting in an asset impairment charge of $0.5 million. Fair value was determined on the basis of an independent broker opinion based on geographic area market comparable, less estimated cost to sell.

	On October 15, 2013, Parent and the Company entered into an agreement with Eric Schiffer, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Gold, the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer, Howard Gold, the Company’s former Executive Vice President, Karen Schiffer and The Gold Revocable Trust dated October 26, 2005 (collectively, the “Rollover Investors”), pursuant to which (a)(i) Parent purchased from each Rollover Investor all of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, owned by such Rollover Investor and (ii) all of the options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by such Rollover Investor were repurchased, for aggregate consideration of approximately $129.7 million (the “Gold-Schiffer Purchase”) and (b) the Company agreed to certain amendments to the Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreements and the Separation and Release Agreements with the Rollover Investors who were former management of the Company.  The Gold-Schiffer Purchase was completed on October 21, 2013. Prior to completion of the transaction, Howard Gold resigned from the board of directors of each of Parent and the Company.  The Gold-Schiffer Purchase was funded through a combination of borrowings of $100 million of incremental term loans under the First Lien Term Loan Facility and cash on hand of Parent.  In connection with the Gold-Schiffer Purchase, the Company made a distribution to Parent of $95.5 million and an investment in shares of preferred stock of Parent of $19.2 million.  In addition, the Company made a payment of $7.8 million to the Rollover Investors for repurchase of all options to purchase Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by the Rollover Investors.
	Credit Facility
	In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into the First Lien Term Loan Facility, under which various funds affiliated with one of Parent’s sponsors, an affiliate of Ares, are lenders. As of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, certain affiliates of Ares held approximately $1.4 million and $3.4 million of term loans under the First Lien Term Loan Facility, respectively. The terms of the term loans are the same as those held by unaffiliated third party lenders under the First Lien Term Loan Facility.

	Credit Facilities
	The Company’s credit facilities and commitments are discussed in detail in Note 6.
	Lease Commitments
	The Company leases various facilities under operating leases (except for one location which is classified as a capital lease and one location classified as a financing lease) expiring at various dates through fiscal year 2035. Most of the lease agreements contain renewal options and/or provide for fixed rent escalations or increases based on the Consumer Price Index.  Total minimum lease payments under each of these lease agreements, including scheduled increases, are charged to expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective lease.  Certain leases require the payment of property taxes, maintenance and insurance.  Rental expenses (including property taxes, maintenance and insurance) charged to expenses in fiscal 2015 were $85.5 million of which $0.3 million was paid as percentage rent, based on sales volume for fiscal 2015.  Rental expenses (including property taxes, maintenance and insurance) charged to expenses in transition fiscal 2014 were $60.8 million of which $0.2 million was paid as percentage rent, based on sales volume for transition fiscal 2014.  Rental expenses (including property taxes, maintenance and insurance) charged to expenses in fiscal 2013 was $63.0 million of which $0.3 million was paid as percentage rent, based on sales volume for fiscal 2013.  Sub-lease income earned in fiscal 2015, transition fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 was $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
	As of January 30, 2015, the minimum annual rentals payable and future minimum sub-lease income under all non-cancelable leases was as follows (amounts in thousands):
	Fiscal Year:	Operating leases			Financing lease			Capital lease			Future Minimum
											Sub-lease Income
	2016	$	70,554		$	91		$	106		$	370

	Less amount representing interest				(17,442		)	(16		)
	Present value of future lease payments				$	24,864		$	197
	The capital lease relates to a building for one of the Company’s retail stores.  The gross asset amount recorded under the capital lease was $0.3 million as of each of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014.  Accumulated depreciation was $0.2 million as of January 30, 2015 and less than $0.1 million as January 31, 2014.
	In May 2014, the Company entered into a lease agreement for corporate office and warehouse space in the City of Commerce, California that expires in February 2030.  In order for the leased space to meet the Company’s operating specifications, both the landlord and the Company would make structural changes to the property, and as a result, the Company concluded that it was the “deemed owner” of the construction project (for accounting purposes) during the construction period. Accordingly, the Company recorded an asset representing the estimated fair market value of the building (a Level 2 measurement) and a corresponding construction financing obligation.  Upon completion of construction, the Company evaluated the de-recognition of the asset and liability under sale-leaseback accounting guidance.  The Company was deemed to have “continuing involvement,” which precluded the de-recognition of the asset from the consolidated balance sheet when construction was complete (a “failed sale-leaseback”).
	Accordingly, as of January 30, 2015, the Company has recorded an asset of $24.6 million, representing the estimated fair market value of the building, and a financing lease obligation of $24.9 million (including accrued interest), recorded as a component of current and non-current liabilities.
	Workers’ Compensation
	The Company self-insures its workers’ compensation claims in California and Texas and provides for losses of estimated known and incurred but not reported insurance claims.  The Company does not discount the projected future cash outlays for the time value of money for claims and claim related costs when establishing its workers’ compensation liability.
	In transition fiscal 2014, the Company experienced a significant increase in the severity of its open claims, the majority of which are litigated.  As a result of the increase in severity of open claims, the Company significantly increased its workers’ compensation liability reserves in the third quarter of transition fiscal 2014.  As of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, the Company had recorded a liability of $70.4 million and $73.8 million, respectively, for estimated workers’ compensation claims in California.  The Company has limited self-insurance exposure in Texas and had recorded a liability of less than $0.1 million as of each of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 for workers’ compensation claims in Texas.  The Company purchases workers’ compensation insurance coverage in Arizona and Nevada and is not self-insured in those states.
	Self-Insured Health Insurance Liability
	The Company self-insures for a portion of its employee medical benefit claims.  At January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, the Company had recorded a liability of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for estimated health insurance claims.  The Company maintains stop loss insurance coverage to limit its exposure for the self-funded portion of its health insurance program.
	The following table summarizes the changes in the reserves for self-insurance for the periods indicated (in thousands):
		Workers’			Health

	Legal Matters
	Wage and Hour Matters
	Shelley Pickett v. 99¢ Only Stores.  Plaintiff, a former cashier for the Company, filed a representative action complaint against the Company on November 4, 2011 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles alleging a PAGA claim that the Company violated section 14 of Wage Order 7-2001 by failing to provide seats for its cashiers behind checkout counters.  The plaintiff seeks civil penalties of $100 to $200 per violation, per each pay period for each affected employee, and attorney’s fees.  The court denied the Company’s motion to compel arbitration of Pickett’s individual claims or, in the alternative, to strike the representative action allegations in the Complaint, and the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s ruling.  The Company’s petition for review of the decision in the California Supreme Court was denied on January 15, 2014, and remittitur issued on January 27, 2014.  On June 27, 2013, the plaintiff entered into a settlement agreement and release with the Company in another matter.  Payment has been made to the plaintiff under that agreement and the other action has been dismissed.  The Company’s position is that the release the plaintiff executed in that matter waives the claims she asserts in this action, waives her right to proceed on a class or representative basis or as a private attorney general and requires her to dismiss this action with prejudice as to her individual claims.  The Company notified the plaintiff of its position by a letter dated as of July 30, 2013, but she has yet to dismiss the lawsuit.  On February 11, 2014, the Company answered the complaint, denying all material allegations, and filed a cross-complaint against Pickett seeking to enforce her agreement to dismiss this action.  Through the cross-complaint, the Company seeks declaratory relief, specific performance and damages.  Pickett has answered the cross-complaint, asserting a general denial of all material allegations and various affirmative defenses.  On March 12, 2014, in an unrelated matter involving similar claims against a different employer, the California Supreme Court agreed to rule on several questions that will provide guidance to lower courts as to California’s employee seating requirement, which is a largely untested area of law.  Accordingly, on May 20, 2014, the parties stipulated to stay this matter pending the final resolution of the California Supreme Court proceeding, with the exception of the Company’s motion for judgment on the pleadings on the cross-complaint and Ms. Pickett’s motion for leave to substitute in a new representative plaintiff.  On September 30, 2014, the court denied the motion for judgment on the pleadings and granted the motion for leave to amend.  Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on October 8, 2014, and the Company answered on October 10, 2014, denying all material allegations.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of this lawsuit or the amount of potential loss, if any, that it could face as a result of such lawsuit.
	Sofia Wilton Barriga v. 99¢ Only Stores.  Plaintiff, a former store associate, filed an action against the Company on August 5, 2013, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Riverside alleging on behalf of plaintiff and all others allegedly similarly situated under the California Labor Code that the Company failed to pay wages for all hours worked, provide meal periods, pay wages timely upon termination, and provide accurate wage statements.  The plaintiff also asserted a derivative claim for unfair competition under the California Business and Professions Code.  The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all non-exempt employees who were employed in California in the Company’s retail stores who worked the graveyard shift at any time from January 1, 2012, through the date of trial or settlement.  Although the class period as originally pled would extend back to August 5, 2009, the parties have agreed that any class period would run beginning January 1, 2012, because of the preclusive effect of a judgment in a previous matter.  The plaintiff seeks to recover alleged unpaid wages, statutory penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs, and restitution.  On September 23, 2013, the Company filed an answer denying all material allegations.  A case management conference was held on October 4, 2013, at which the court ordered that discovery may proceed as to class certification issues only.  Discovery commenced, and a further status conference was set for March 27, 2015.  The Court indicated that, by that time, the parties were expected to have mediated the case and, if no settlement was reached, to be prepared for motion practice regarding class certification shortly thereafter. A mediation was held on March 12, 2015, resulting in a confidential mediator’s proposal, which the parties have verbally accepted.  The parties will now attempt to negotiate and finalize a written settlement, which will be subject to Court approval.  The Court has set a further status conference regarding settlement for July 27, 2015.  If the proposed settlement is not finalized or is not approved by the Court, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this lawsuit or the amount of potential loss, if any, that it could face as a result of such lawsuit.
	District Attorney Investigation
	In August 2013, the Company received a pre-litigation subpoena from the San Joaquin County and Alameda County District Attorney offices.  This subpoena was part of an investigation of the Company’s hazardous materials, hazardous substances and hazardous waste practices at its California retail stores and distribution centers conducted jointly by the District Attorney of San Joaquin County along with other environmental prosecutorial offices in the state of California (the “Prosecutors”).  That investigation arose out of the Notices to Comply (“Notices”) received by the Company for certain of its stores and distribution centers.
	The Notices alleged non-compliance with hazardous waste, hazardous substances and hazardous material regulatory requirements imposed under California law identified during compliance inspections and required corrective actions to be taken by certain dates set forth in the Notices.  The Company believed that it properly implemented the corrective actions required by the Notices.  The Company cooperated with the Prosecutors in their investigation and ultimately reached a settlement with them of all of their claims.
	The parties agreed to a settlement amount of approximately $2.4 million, which was embodied in a stipulated judgment that was approved by the San Joaquin County Superior Court in December 2014.  The Company had previously recorded an estimated expense in an amount that is not materially different than the ultimate settlement amount.  The settlement required the Company to pay civil penalties, costs, and contributions to various state environmental funds.  The settlement also requires the Company to implement additional hazardous waste compliance measures.  The Company has made all of the payments required under the stipulated judgment and is in the process of implementing the additional hazardous waste compliance measures.
	Other Matters
	The Company is also subject to other private lawsuits, administrative proceedings and claims that arise in its ordinary course of business.  A number of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims may exist at any given time.  While the resolution of such a lawsuit, proceeding or claim may have an impact on the Company’s financial results for the period in which it is resolved, and litigation is inherently unpredictable, in management’s opinion, none of these matters arising in the ordinary course of business is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or overall liquidity.

	Number Holdings, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan
	On February 27, 2012, the Parent Board adopted the Number Holdings, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan authorizes equity awards to be granted for up to 85,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of Parent and 85,000 shares of Class B Common Stock of Parent.  As of January 30, 2015, options for 48,130 shares of each of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock were issued to certain members of management and directors.  Options upon vesting may be exercised only for units consisting of an equal number of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.  Class B Common Stock has de minimis economic rights and the right to vote solely for election of directors.
	Employee Option Grants
	Options granted to employees generally become exercisable over the five year service period and have terms of ten years from date of the grant.
	Under the standard form of option award agreement for the 2012 Plan, Parent has a right to repurchase from the participant all or a portion of (i) Class A and Class B Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the options awarded to a participant and (ii) fully vested but unexercised options.  The repurchase price for the shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock is the fair market value of such shares as of the date of such termination, and, for the fully vested but unexercised options, the repurchase price is the difference between the fair market value of the Class A and Class B Common Stock as of the date of termination of employment and the exercise price of the option.  However, upon (i) a termination of employment for cause, (ii) a voluntary resignation without good reason, or (iii) upon discovery that the participant engaged in detrimental activity, the repurchase price is the lesser of the exercise price paid by the participant to exercise the option or the fair market value of the Class A and Class B Common Stock.  If Parent elects to exercise its repurchase right for any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an option, it must do so no later than 180 days after the date of participant’s termination of employment, or (ii) for any unexercised option no later than 90 days from the latest date that such option can be exercised.  The options also contain transfer restrictions that lapse upon registration of an offering of Parent common stock under the Securities Act of 1933(a “liquidity event”).
	The Company defers recognition of substantially all of the stock-based compensation expense related to these stock options. The nature of repurchase rights and transfer restrictions create a performance condition that is not considered probable of being achieved until a liquidity event or certain employment termination events are probable of occurrence. These options are accounted for as equity-based awards. The fair value of these stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. There were 25,125 of time-based employee options outstanding as of January 30, 2015.
	In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, 750 options were granted that will vest subject to the Company’s and Parent’s achievement of performance hurdles.  The Company has deferred recognition of these performance-based options until it is probable that that the performance hurdles will be achieved.  The fair value of these performance-based options was estimated at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation method.
	Executive and Director Option Grants
	Options granted to certain executives and board members generally become exercisable over the five year service period and have terms of ten years from date of the grant.  Options granted to these executives and board members do not contain repurchase rights that would allow the Parent to repurchase these options at less than fair value. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for these option grants over the service period. These options are accounted for as equity awards. The fair value of these stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
	On January 23, 2013, Eric Schiffer, Jeff Gold and Howard Gold separated from their positions as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer and Executive Vice President of Special Projects, respectively, of the Company and Parent, and as directors of the Company and Parent.  In accordance with their employment agreements, the Company accelerated vesting of 29,604 stock options and recorded an additional $9.3 million stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.  These options were to expire upon the later of July 23, 2014 and 42 months from the date of the Merger.  There were no Parent repurchase rights associated with these stock options.  Additionally, effective upon Karen Schiffer’s departure from the Company, on February 15, 2013, the Company modified the existing option grant related to her to fully vest her 5,921 stock options and the Company recorded additional $0.6 million stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.  These options were to expire upon the later of August 15, 2014 and 42 months from the date of the Merger.  There were no Parent repurchase rights associated with these stock options.  In October 2013, the Company made a payment of $7.8 million as part of the Gold-Schiffer Purchase for the repurchase of the above mentioned options. See Note 9, “Related-Party Transactions” for more information regarding the Gold-Schiffer Purchase.
	Chief Executive Officer Equity Awards
	On October 9, 2013, in connection with Stéphane Gonthier’s employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Parent, the Compensation Committee of Parent’s Board of Directors granted to Mr. Gonthier stock options to purchase an aggregate of 21,505 shares of each of the Class A and Class B Common Stock.  Subject to the continued employment of Mr. Gonthier, (a) 75% of the options will vest according to a timetable of 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 20% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 25% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and (b) 25% of these options will vest subject to the Company’s and Parent’s achievement of performance hurdles.  These options are subject to the terms of the 2012 Plan and the award agreement under which they were granted.
	The Company records stock-based compensation for the time-based options in accordance with the four year vesting period.  The Company has deferred recognition of performance-based options until it is probable that that the performance hurdles will be achieved.  The time-based and performance-based options are accounted for as equity awards.  The fair value of these time-based options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The fair value of performance-based options was estimated at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation method.
	Former Executive Put Rights
	Pursuant to the employment agreements between the Company and Eric Schiffer, Jeff Gold and Howard Gold, in connection with their separation from the Company, for a period of one year following such separation, each executive had a right to require Parent to repurchase the shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock owned by such executive (a “put right”) at the greater of (i) $1,000 per combined share of Class A and Class B Common Stock less any distributions made with respect to such shares and (ii) the fair market value of such shares as of the date the executive exercised the put right.  The put right applied to the lesser of (i) 20,000 shares of each of Class A and Class B Common Stock and (ii) $12.5 million in value (unless Parent agreed to purchase a higher value).  If exercising the put right was prohibited (e.g., under the First Lien Term Loan Credit Facility, the ABL Facility and the Indenture), then the put right would have been extended up to three additional years until Parent was no longer prohibited from repurchasing the shares.  If, during the four years following termination, Parent was at no time able to make the required payments, the put right would have expired and deemed unexercised.  For payout after the first year, the put right was only at the fair market value as of the date the exercising the put right.
	The Company did not record stock-based compensation expense for the put rights until it became probable that the put rights would become exercisable.  On January 23, 2013, Messrs. Schiffer, J. Gold and H. Gold separated from their positions as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer and Executive Vice President of Special Projects, respectively, of the Company and Parent, and as directors of the Company and Parent.  As such, for a period of one year from January 23, 2013, each executive could exercise the put right as described above.  The fair value of these put rights was estimated using a binomial model to be $1.2 million and $6.5 million as of September 28, 2013 and March 30, 2013, respectively.  In the third quarter of transition fiscal 2014, these put rights were repurchased and all claims under the employment agreements were released as a result of the Gold-Schiffer Purchase, and there was no fair value associated with these put rights as of January 31, 2014. Changes in the fair value for these put rights have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses. See Note 9, “Related-Party Transactions” for more information regarding the Gold-Schiffer Purchase.
	Accounting for stock-based compensation
	Determining the fair value of options at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term that stock options will be outstanding prior to exercise and the associated volatility.  At the grant date, the Company estimates an amount of forfeitures that will occur prior to vesting.  During fiscal 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.8 million.  The income tax benefit was $1.1 million for fiscal 2015.  During transition fiscal 2014, as result of a decrease in the fair value of former executive put rights, the Company recorded negative stock-based compensation expense of $(4.8) million.  The income tax charge was $3.9 million for transition fiscal 2014.  During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $18.4 million (including $9.9 million of accelerated vesting expense for four officers who separated from their positions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and $6.5 million related to former executive put rights).  The income tax benefit was $7.4 million for fiscal 2013.
	The fair value of stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
		Year Ended			Ten Months Ended			Year Ended
		January 30, 2015			January 31, 2014			March 30, 2013
	Weighted-average fair value of options granted	$	506.47		$	486.95		$	350.84
	Risk free interest rate	2.12		%	1.78		%	1.12		%
	Expected life (in years)	6.48			6.28			6.50
	Expected stock price volatility	35.0		%	39.2		%	34.2		%
	Expected dividend yield	None			None			None
	The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with an equivalent remaining term.  Expected life represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is calculated by using “simplified method.”  Expected stock price volatility is based on average historical volatility of stock prices of companies in a peer group analysis.  The Company currently does not anticipate the payment of any cash dividends.  Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations.
	The fair value of performance-based options was estimated at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation method.  Key assumptions used include those described above for determining the fair value of options with service-based conditions only and in addition the simulation utilizes a range of possible future stock values to construct a distribution of where future stock prices might be. The simulations and resulting distributions will give a statistically acceptable range of future stock prices. The Company also has to assume a time horizon to when the performance conditions of the options will be met.
	As of January 30, 2015, there were $15.5 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options and options subject to repurchase rights for which no compensation has been recorded.  During fiscal 2015, 8,226 options vested and the fair value of these vested options was $3.8 million. During transition fiscal 2014, 1,139 options vested and the fair value of these vested options was $0.4 million.  During fiscal 2013, 38,290 options vested and the fair value of these vested options was $12.0 million.  The aggregate pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised in fiscal 2015 was less than $0.1 million. No options were exercised during fiscal transition fiscal 2014 and 2013.
	The following summarizes stock option activity during the year ended January 30, 2015:
		Number of		Weighted			Weighted Average		Aggregate
		Shares		Average			Remaining		Intrinsic
				Exercise Price			Contractual Life		Value
							(Year)

	In 1998, the Company adopted a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”).  All full-time employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after 30 days of service and are eligible to receive matching contributions from the Company after one year of service.  The Company contributed $1.9 million, $1.6 million and $1.8 million during fiscal year 2015, transition fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The Company matches 100% of the first 3% of compensation that an employee contributes and 50% of the next 2% of compensation that the employee contributes with immediate vesting.
	Deferred Compensation Plan
	The Company has a deferred compensation plan to provide certain key management employees the ability to defer a portion of their base compensation and/or bonuses.  The plan is an unfunded nonqualified plan.  The deferred amounts and earnings thereon are payable to participants, or designated beneficiaries, at specified future dates, upon retirement or death.  The Company does not make contributions to this plan or guarantee earnings.  The assets and liabilities of a rabbi trust are accounted for as if they are assets and liabilities of the Company. The assets held in the rabbi trust are not available for general corporate purposes.  The rabbi trust is subject to creditor claims in the event of insolvency. The deferred compensation liability and related long-term assets were $0.7 million and $1.1 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively.

	On October 18, 2013, 99¢ Only Stores converted (the “Conversion”) from a California corporation to a California limited liability company, 99 Cents Only Stores LLC (“99 LLC”), that is managed by its sole member, Parent.  In connection with the Conversion, each outstanding share of Class A common stock of 99¢ Only Stores, par value $0.01 per share, was converted into one membership unit of 99 LLC, and each outstanding share of Class B common stock of 99¢ Only Stores, par value $0.01 per share, was cancelled and forfeited.  Pursuant to the laws of the State of California, all rights and property of 99¢ Only Stores were vested in 99 LLC and all debts, liabilities and obligations of 99¢ Only Stores continued as debts, liabilities and obligations of 99 LLC.  99 LLC has elected to be treated as a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes.  The Conversion did not have any effect on deferred tax assets or liabilities, and the Company will continue to use the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The Company and Parent will continue to file consolidated or combined income tax returns with its subsidiaries in all jurisdictions.
Principles of Consolidation
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Change in Fiscal Year
	Change in Fiscal Year
	On December 16, 2013, the board of directors of the Company’s sole member, Parent, approved a resolution changing the end of the Company’s fiscal year. Prior to the change, the fiscal year of the Company ended on the Saturday closest to the last day of March.  The Company’s new fiscal year end is the Friday closest to the last day of January, with each successive quarterly period ending the Friday closest to the last day of April, July, October or January, as applicable.
	The Company follows a fiscal calendar consisting of four quarters with 91 days, each ending on the Friday closest to the calendar quarter-end, and a 52-week fiscal year with 364 days, with a 53-week year every five to six years.  Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this report relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.  The Company’s fiscal year 2015 (“fiscal 2015”) began on February 1, 2014, and ended January 30, 2015 and consisted of 52 weeks.  The Company’s fiscal year 2014 (“transition fiscal 2014” or the “ten months ended January 31, 2014”) began on March 31, 2013 and ended on January 31, 2014 and consisted of 44 weeks.  The Company’s fiscal year 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) began on April 1, 2012 and ended on March 30, 2013 and consisted of 52 weeks.
	See Note 2, “Change in Fiscal Year” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the comparative Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the ten months ended January 31, 2014 (a 44-week period) and ten months ended January 26, 2013 (a 43-week period).
Change in Presentation of Financial Statements
	Change in Presentation of Financial Statements
	In the first quarter ended May 2, 2014 (the “first quarter of fiscal 2015”), the Company changed the presentation of its financial statements to include receiving, distribution, warehouse costs and transportation to and from stores in its cost of sales. Previously, these costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Depreciation expense related to these costs, which was historically included in selling, general and administrative expense, is now also included in cost of sales.  Also, depreciation and amortization expense previously included in selling, general and administrative expense is no longer presented separately.  Reclassifications of $87.0 million and $88.8 million from selling, general and administrative expense to cost of sales were made for transition fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, to conform to current year presentation.  This change does not change previously reported operating income or net income.
	This change in presentation of financial statements was made in order to be in line with the Company’s peers in the retail industry.
Use of Estimates
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
	Cash
	For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes cash on hand, cash at the stores and cash in financial institutions.  The majority of payments due from financial institutions for the settlement of debit card and credit card transactions are processed within three business days and therefore are also classified as cash.  Cash balances held at financial institutions are generally in excess of federally insured limits.  These accounts are only insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  The Company’s cash balances held at financial institutions and exceeding FDIC insurance totaled $2.1 million and $35.0 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company historically has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  The Company places its temporary cash investments with what it believes to be high credit, quality financial institutions.  Under the Company’s cash management system, checks issued but not presented to the bank may result in book cash overdraft balances for accounting purposes.  The Company reclassifies book overdrafts to accounts payable, which are reflected as an operating activity in its consolidated statements of cash flows.  Book overdrafts included in accounts payable were $16.5 million and $9.3 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	In connection with its wholesale business, the Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors.  In cases where the Company is aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, the Company will record an allowance against amounts due and thereby reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected.  For all other customers and tenants, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, industry and geographic concentrations, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experiences.
Inventories
	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is established using a methodology that approximates first in, first out, which for store inventories is based on a retail inventory method.  Valuation allowances for shrinkage as well as excess and obsolete inventory are also recorded.  Shrinkage is estimated as a percentage of sales for the period from the last physical inventory date to the end of the applicable period.  Such estimates are based on experience and the most recent physical inventory results.  Physical inventory counts are completed at each of the Company’s retail stores at least once a year by an outside inventory service company.  The Company performs inventory cycle counts at its warehouses throughout the year.  The Company also performs inventory reviews and analysis on a quarterly basis for both warehouse and store inventory to determine inventory valuation allowances for excess and obsolete inventory.  The valuation allowances for excess and obsolete inventory are based on the age of the inventory, sales trends and future merchandising plans.  The valuation allowances for excess and obsolete inventory require management judgment and estimates that may impact the ending inventory valuation and valuation allowances that may affect the reported gross margin for the period.
	In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company revised its inventory merchandising and liquidation philosophies to significantly reduce and liquidate slow moving inventories prospectively as directed by the then current management team.  As a result of this change, the Company recorded a charge to cost of sales and a corresponding reduction in inventory of approximately $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. This was a prospective change and did not have an effect on prior periods.
	At the end of the third quarter of transition fiscal 2014, based on new merchandising plans, the Company increased its valuation allowances for excess and obsolete inventory.  The Company recorded a charge to cost of sales and a corresponding reduction in inventory of approximately $9.6 million.  This was a prospective change and did not have an effect on prior periods.
	In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a charge for additional inventory shrinkage based upon the results of annual physical inventory counts completed during the quarter. This resulted in a net charge to cost of sales and a corresponding reduction in inventory of approximately $10.0 million, which was primarily related to the implementation of certain strategic initiatives, including the “Go Taller” store remodeling program.
	In order to obtain inventory at attractive prices, the Company takes advantage of large volume purchases, closeouts and other similar purchases.  As such, the Company’s inventory fluctuates from period to period and the inventory balances vary based on the timing and availability of such opportunities.
Property and Equipment
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:
	Owned buildings and improvements	Lesser of 30 years or the estimated useful life of the improvement
	Leasehold improvements	Lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement or remaining lease term
	Fixtures and equipment	3-5 years
	Transportation equipment	3-5 years
	Information technology systems	For major corporate systems, estimated useful life up to 7 years; for functional standalone systems, estimated useful life up to 5 years
	The Company’s policy is to capitalize expenditures that materially increase asset lives and expense ordinary repairs and maintenance as incurred.
Long-Lived Assets
	Long-Lived Assets
	The Company assesses the impairment of depreciable long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  The Company groups and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment at the individual store level, which is the lowest level at which individual identifiable cash flows are available.  Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to expected future net cash flows generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount is compared to its fair value and an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference.  Factors that the Company considers important that could individually or in combination trigger an impairment review include the following: (1) significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (2) significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; and (3) significant changes in the Company’s business strategies and/or negative industry or economic trends.  On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses whether events or changes in circumstances occur that potentially indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable (Level 3 measurement, see Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate projected future operating cash flows.  Accordingly, if actual results fall short of such estimates, significant future impairments could result.  During fiscal 2015, the Company wrote down the carrying value of a held for sale property to the estimated net realizable value, net of expected disposal costs, and accordingly recorded an asset impairment charge of $0.1 million.  During transition fiscal 2014, the Company did not record any long-lived asset impairment charges.  During fiscal 2013, the Company wrote down the carrying value of a held for sale property to the estimated net realizable value, net of expected disposal costs, and accordingly recorded an asset impairment charge of $0.5 million.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	In connection with the Merger purchase price allocation, the fair values of long-lived and intangible assets were determined based upon assumptions related to the future cash flows, discount rates and asset lives using then available information, and in some cases were obtained from independent professional valuation experts.  The Company amortizes intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite.
	Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead tested annually for impairment or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned.  The Company has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step one of the goodwill impairment test). If the Company does not perform a qualitative assessment, or determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is considered not impaired; otherwise, goodwill is impaired and the loss is measured by performing step two. Under step two, the impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. Management has determined that the Company has two reporting units, the retail reporting unit and the wholesale reporting unit.  The amount of goodwill allocated to the retail reporting unit and wholesale reporting unit was $467.2 and $12.5 million, respectively, as of January 30, 2015.
	The Company performs the annual test for impairment in January of the fiscal year and determines fair value based on a combination of the income approach and the market approach. The income approach is based on discounted cash flows to determine fair value. The market approach uses a selection of comparable companies and transactions in determining fair value. The fair value of the trade name is also tested for impairment in the fourth quarter by comparing the carrying value to the fair value. Fair value of a trade name is determined using a relief from royalty method under the income approach, which uses projected revenue allocable to the trade name and an assumed royalty rate (Level 3 measurement, see Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).
	During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company completed step one of its goodwill impairment test for the two reporting units and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill since the fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying amount.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company completed its annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test and determined there was no impairment since the fair value of the trade name exceeded the carrying amount.
	Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows, and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values.  Significant judgment is required in determining whether a potential indicator of impairment of long-lived assets exists and in estimating future cash flows used in the impairment tests (Level 3 measurement, see Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).
Derivatives
	Derivatives
	The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with authoritative guidance for derivative instrument and hedging activities.  All financial instrument positions taken by the Company are intended to be used to manage risks associated with interest rate exposures.
	The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, and are recorded in either current or noncurrent assets or liabilities based on their maturity.  Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded in net earnings or other comprehensive income (“OCI”), based on whether the instrument is designated and effective as a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction.  Gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) are reclassified to earnings in the period the hedged item affects earnings.  Any ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings in the period incurred.
Income Taxes
	Income Taxes
	The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is established accordingly.  The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position.  The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.  Refer to Note 5, “Income Tax Provision” for further discussion of income taxes.
Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for stock-based payment awards based on their fair value.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense ratably over the requisite service periods.  For awards classified as equity, the Company estimates the fair value for each option award as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other appropriate valuation models.  The Black-Scholes model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the stock price.  Stock options are generally granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock at the dates of grant.  Former executive put rights were classified as equity awards and revalued using a binomial model at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized as stock-based compensation expense.  The fair value of the options that will vest based on the Company’s and Parent’s achievement of certain performance hurdles were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation method.  Refer to Note 11, “Stock-Based Compensation Plans” for further discussion of stock-based compensation.
Revenue Recognition
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes retail sales in its retail stores at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise.  All sales are net of discounts and returns and exclude sales tax.  Wholesale sales are recognized in accordance with the shipping terms agreed upon on the purchase order. Wholesale sales are typically recognized free on board origin, where title and risk of loss pass to the buyer when the merchandise leaves the Company’s distribution facility.
	The Company has a gift card program.  The Company does not charge administrative fees on gift cards and the Company’s gift cards do not have expiration dates.  The Company records the sale of gift cards as a current liability and recognizes a sale when a customer redeems a gift card.  The liability for outstanding gift cards is recorded in accrued expenses.
Cost of Sales
	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory, freight in, obsolescence, spoilage, scrap and inventory shrinkage, and is net of discounts and allowances.  Cost of sales also includes receiving, warehouse costs and distribution costs (which include payroll and associated costs, occupancy, transportation to and from stores and depreciation expense).  Cash discounts for satisfying early payment terms are recognized when payment is made, and allowances and rebates based upon milestone achievements such as reaching a certain volume of purchases of a vendor’s products are included as a reduction of cost of sales when such contractual milestones are reached.  In addition, the Company analyzes its inventory levels and the related cash discounts received to arrive at a value for cash discounts to be included in the inventory balance.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
	Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
	Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs of selling merchandise in stores (which include payroll and associated costs, occupancy and other store-level costs) and corporate costs (which include payroll and associated costs, occupancy, advertising, professional fees and other corporate administrative costs).  Selling, general and administrative expenses also include depreciation and amortization expense relating to these costs.
Leases
	Leases
	The Company follows the policy of capitalizing allowable expenditures that relate to the acquisition and signing of its retail store leases. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term.
	The Company recognizes rent expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis (including the effect of reduced or free rent and rent escalations) over the applicable lease term.  The difference between the cash paid to the landlord and the amount recognized as rent expense on a straight-line basis is included in deferred rent.  Cash reimbursements received from landlords for leasehold improvements and other cash payments received from landlords as lease incentives are recorded as deferred rent.  Deferred rent related to landlord incentives is amortized as an offset to rent expense using the straight-line method over the applicable lease term.
	In certain lease arrangements, the Company can be involved with the construction of the building. If it is determined that the Company has substantially all of the risks of ownership during construction of the leased property and therefore is deemed to be the owner of the construction project, the Company records an asset for the amount of the total project costs and an amount related to the value attributed to the pre-existing leased building in property and equipment, net and the related financing obligation as part of current and non-current liabilities.  Once construction is complete, if it is determined that the asset does not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting treatment, the Company amortizes the obligation over the lease term and depreciates the asset over the life of the lease. The Company does not report rent expense for the portion of the rent payment determined to be related to the assets which are owned for accounting purposes. Rather, this portion of the rent payment under the lease is recognized as a reduction of the financing obligation and interest expense.
	For store closures where a lease obligation still exists, the Company records the estimated future liability associated with the rental obligation on the cease use date (when the store is closed).  Liabilities are established at the cease use date for the present value of any remaining operating lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income, and at the communication date for severance and other exit costs.  Key assumptions in calculating the liability include the timeframe expected to terminate lease agreements, estimates related to the sublease potential of closed locations, and estimates of other related exit costs.  If actual timing and potential termination costs or realization of sublease income differ from the Company’s estimates, the resulting liabilities could vary from recorded amounts. These liabilities are reviewed periodically and adjusted when necessary.
	During fiscal 2013, the Company sold and leased back three stores and the resulting leases qualify and are accounted for as operating leases.  The net proceeds from the sale-leaseback transactions amounted to $5.3 million.  Gains of $0.4 million were deferred and are being amortized over the term of lease (12-15 years).
Self-Insured Workers' Compensation Liability
	Self-Insured Workers’ Compensation Liability
	The Company self-insures for workers’ compensation claims in California and Texas.  The Company establishes a liability for losses from both estimated known and incurred but not reported insurance claims based on reported claims and actuarial valuations of estimated future costs of known and incurred but not yet reported claims.  Should an amount of claims greater than anticipated occur, the liability recorded may not be sufficient and additional workers’ compensation costs, which may be significant, could be incurred.  The Company has not discounted the projected future cash outlays for the time value of money for claims and claim-related costs when establishing its workers’ compensation liability in its financial reports for January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014.
Self-Insured Health Insurance Liability
	Self-Insured Health Insurance Liability
	The Company self-insures for a portion of its employee medical benefit claims.  The liability for the self-funded portion of the Company health insurance program is determined actuarially, based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported.  The Company maintains stop loss insurance coverage to limit its exposure for the self-funded portion of its health insurance program.
Pre-Opening Costs
	Pre-Opening Costs
	The Company expenses, as incurred, pre-opening costs such as payroll, rent and marketing related to the opening of new retail stores.
Advertising
	Advertising
	The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expenses were $6.2 million for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2015.  Advertising expenses were $4.4 million for the ten months ended January 31, 2014.  Advertising expenses were $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, interest rate derivatives, accounts payable, accruals, debt, and other liabilities.  Cash and interest rate derivatives are measured and recorded at fair value.  Accounts receivable and other receivables are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value.  Accounts payable and other accrued expenses are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value.  Refer to Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for further discussion of the fair value of debt.
	The Company uses the authoritative guidance for fair value, which includes the definition of fair value, the framework for measuring fair value, and disclosures about fair value measurements.  Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  Fair value measurements reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available.  Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model.
Comprehensive Income
	Comprehensive Income
	Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) includes unrealized gains or losses on investments and interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.  The following table sets forth the calculation of comprehensive income, net of tax effects, for the periods indicated (in thousands):
		Year Ended			Ten Months			Year Ended
					Ended
		January 30,			January 31,			March 30, 2013
		2015			2014
	Net income (loss)	$	5,502		$	(12,485	)	$	(8,909	)
	Unrealized holding gains on marketable securities, net of tax effects of $0 in fiscal 2015, $0 in transition fiscal 2014 and $3 in fiscal 2013	—			—			4
	Unrealized losses on interest rate cash flow hedge, net of tax effects of $(384) in fiscal 2015, $(190) in transition fiscal 2014 and $(835) in fiscal 2013	(576		)	(284		)	(1,252		)
	Reclassification adjustment, net of tax effects of $647 in fiscal 2015, $97 in transition fiscal 2014 and $(18) in fiscal 2013	969			145			(27		)
	Total unrealized holding gains (losses), net	393			(139		)	(1,275		)
	Total comprehensive income (loss)	$	5,895		$	(12,624	)	$	(10,184	)
	Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss as January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 consisted of unrealized losses on interest rate cash flow hedges. Reclassifications out of AOCI in fiscal 2015 and transition fiscal 2014 are presented in Note 7, “Derivative Financial Instruments.”
New Authoritative Standards
	New Authoritative Standards
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”), which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  ASU 2013-11 provides guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar loss or a tax credit carryforward exists.  Under certain circumstances, unrecognized tax benefits should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward.  The Company adopted ASU 2013-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.  There is no material impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”).  ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations.  Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.  ASU 2014-08 is effective for all disposals or classifications as held for sale of components of an entity that occur within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and such adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”).  ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach.  ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted.  In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This ASU requires management to assess whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued.  If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosures are required. This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and such adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
	In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations: Pushdown Accounting.” This ASU provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. An acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable. ASU 2014-17 was effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items: Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” This ASU eliminates the concept of extraordinary items under GAAP, which, among other things, required an entity to segregate extraordinary items considered to be unusual and infrequent from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations.  This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and such adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company or its consolidated financial statements.
