Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ ("ASC") Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date," which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. As amended, early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. The standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company will adopt Topic 606 as of February 4, 2018 (the first day of fiscal year 2018) using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of Topic 606 will impact the timing of when revenue is recognized from the Company's loyalty rewards program ("Runway Rewards") and certain other sales incentives offered to the Company's customers, as a result of a change in accounting as described below. The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 606 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Currently under the Company's loyalty rewards program, the Company recognizes revenue for the full sale amount at the time of sale and accrues the estimated cost of rewards earned and outstanding until the rewards are redeemed or expire, which is referred to as the incremental cost method. Under Topic 606, the Company will no longer accrue the estimated cost of rewards earned and outstanding and will defer a portion of the revenue at the time of sale using the standalone selling price method, as described in Topic 606, until the rewards are redeemed or expire. On the date of adoption of Topic 606, the Company will establish a current liability for deferred revenue equal to the estimated value of rewards earned and outstanding that are expected to be redeemed under its loyalty rewards program, with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company plans to account for certain other sales incentives offered to its customers in a manner similar to the accounting for its loyalty rewards program under Topic 606. Topic 606 will require expanded disclosures related to revenue streams, performance obligations and cash flows and the related judgments used in developing the necessary estimates. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which is a comprehensive new lease standard that amends various aspects of existing accounting guidance for leases. The core principle of ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to present the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on their balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years and requires modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard on the Company's financial position and results of operations. However, the Company expects that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in a significant increase to its long-term assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), which simplifies several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification within the statement of cash flows for certain components of share-based awards. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 on January 29, 2017 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805)": Clarifying the Definition of a Business" (ASU 2017-01") which clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-01 on February 2, 2018 in connection with the acquisition of $2.2 million of intangible assets and $0.2 million of store fixtures and equipment previously owned by Fashion to Figure, a U.S. based retailer of trendy plus-size fashions. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"), which requires: (i) the disaggregation of the service cost component from the other components of net benefit costs in the income statement; (ii) provides explicit guidance on the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement; and (iii) allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and requires retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 on February 4, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2018-02"),which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-02 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sale of merchandise at the Company's stores is recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the related merchandise and the purchases are paid for, primarily with either cash or credit card. Revenue, including shipping fees billed to customers, from the sale of merchandise at the Company's eCommerce store is recognized when the merchandise is shipped to the customer and the purchases are paid for. Revenue for gift cards and merchandise credits is recognized at redemption. Prior to their redemption, gift cards and merchandise credits are recorded as a liability. Discounts and promotional coupons offered to customers are accounted for as a reduction of sales revenue at the time the coupons are tendered by the customer. The Company presents sales taxes collected from customers on a net basis (excluded from revenues). The Company also recognizes revenue in connection with its new private label credit card agreement with Comenity Bank, a bank subsidiary of Alliance Data Systems Corporation ("ADS"), which replaced the existing agreement with ADS and has a term through April 30, 2026 (the "ADS Agreement"). Upon execution of the ADS Agreement on July 14, 2016, the Company recorded $40.0 million of deferred revenue, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the ADS agreement. In addition, over the term of the ADS Agreement, the Company will receive an increased level of royalty revenue based on a percentage of private label credit card sales. For further information related to the ADS Agreement, please refer to Note 4, "Proprietary Credit Card" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company issues gift cards and merchandise credits which do not contain provisions for expiration or inactivity fees. The portion of the dollar value of gift cards and merchandise credits that ultimately is not used by customers to make purchases is known as breakage and will be recognized as revenue if the Company determines it is not required to escheat such amounts to government agencies under state escheatment laws. The Company recognizes gift card and merchandise credit breakage as revenue as they each are redeemed over a two-year redemption period based on their respective historical breakage rate. The Company considers the likelihood of redemption remote beyond a two-year redemption period, at which point any unrecognized breakage is recognized as revenue. The Company determined the redemption period and the breakage rates for gift cards and merchandise credits based on their respective historical redemption patterns. During fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 the Company recorded breakage revenue for gift cards and merchandise credits of $0.6 million, $0.7 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. Reserve for Returns The Company reserves for sales returns through reductions in sales and gross margin based upon historical merchandise returns experience and current sales levels. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820 Topic, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The carrying values on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such items. At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, the carrying amount of long-term debt approximated its fair value due to the variable interest rate it carries. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash in banks, cash on-hand, and all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market, on a weighted average cost basis, using the retail method. Deferred Rent The Company recognizes fixed minimum rent expense on non-cancelable leases on a straight-line basis over the term of each individual lease including the build-out period. The difference between recognized rental expense and amounts payable under the lease is recorded as a deferred lease liability. In addition, the Company recognizes landlord allowances as a deferred lease liability, which is amortized over the term of the related lease as a reduction to rent expense. For contingent rent expense based upon sales, the Company estimates annual contingent rent expense and recognizes a portion each month based on actual sales. At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, the deferred lease liability was $27.2 million and $30.0 million, respectively, and is reported as "Deferred rent" on the consolidated balance sheets. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for new properties and improvements are capitalized, while the cost of repair and maintenance is charged to expense. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment, for financial statement purposes, are as follows: Depreciable Fixed Assets Useful Life Land — Store fixtures and equipment 3 - 10 years Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 - 15 years Software 5 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of the useful life or the term of the lease Cost of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy Costs Cost of goods sold, buying and occupancy costs is comprised of direct inventory costs for merchandise sold, distribution costs, shipping costs, payroll and related costs for the Company's design, sourcing, production, merchandising, planning and allocation personnel, and store occupancy and related costs. Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for all share-based payments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). For further information related to share-based compensation, please refer to Note 8, "Share-Based Compensation." Marketing Marketing costs, which consist primarily of direct mail and point-of-sale ("POS") advertising costs, are expensed at the time the promotion is mailed or first appears in the store. For the following periods, marketing costs reported in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the consolidated statements of operations were as follows: Fiscal Year (Amounts 2017 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, marketing costs reported in "Prepaid expenses" on the consolidated balance sheets amounted to $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Pre-Opening Expenses Costs, such as advertising and payroll costs, incurred prior to the opening of a new store are expensed as incurred. Store Supplies The initial inventory and subsequent shipments of supplies for new stores, including, but not limited to, hangers, signage, packaging and POS supplies, are expensed as incurred. Deferred Financing Costs Costs related to the issuance of debt are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt. Debt issuance costs related to the Company's revolving credit facility are capitalized as "Other assets" in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized as interest expense over the term of the credit facility. At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, net deferred financing costs were $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Interest Expense Interest expense, net of interest income, includes interest primarily related to the Company's long-term debt, amortization of deferred financing costs, and revolving credit facility. Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company evaluates the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment." Long-lived assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may have been impaired. The evaluation is performed at the individual store level, which is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows at the individual store level that are expected to result from the use of each store's assets based on historical experience, omni-channel strategy, knowledge and market data assumptions. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived assets, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, is recognized. Intangible Assets The Company follows ASU 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," which amends FASB ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other" to permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test of comparing the carrying amount with the recoverable amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. The Company's intangible assets relate to the New York & Company trademarks, which were initially valued at $14.8 million, and the Fashion to Figure trademarks and customer list acquired on February 2, 2018, which were valued at $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The New York & Company trademarks were initially valued using the "relief from royalty method" and were determined to have indefinite lives by an independent appraiser. The value of the Fashion to Figure trademarks and customer list represents the Company's cost to acquire such assets on February 2, 2018. The Company has determined the Fashion to Figure trademarks to have indefinite lives, and the customer list to have a useful life of five years over which time the value of the customer list will be amortized into selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company assesses trademarks for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of trademarks below their carrying value. The Company's fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 impairment tests resulted in a fair value that significantly exceeded the carrying amount of the Company's trademarks. In addition to assessing qualitative factors that could impact the fair value of the New York & Company trademarks, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions used in the trademark impairment analysis and has determined that a significant, negative change in the assumptions would not impact the Company's conclusion that no impairment was required. Income Taxes Income taxes are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), which requires the use of the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Inherent in the measurement of deferred balances are certain judgments and interpretations of enacted tax laws and published guidance with respect to applicability to the Company's operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provisions in ASC 740 related to accounting for uncertain tax positions prescribe a comprehensive model of how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Under these provisions, the Company recognizes a tax benefit when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based solely on its technical merits. The Company measures the recognized tax benefit as the largest amount of tax benefit that has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company reverses a previously recognized tax benefit if it determines that the tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. For further information related to deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance, as well as information on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, please refer to Note 11, "Income Taxes," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). The tax effect of other comprehensive income (loss) is offset by corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The Company reports the components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of share-based awards calculated under the treasury stock method. A reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is as follows: Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year (Amounts in thousands, except per Net earnings (loss) $ $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic earnings (loss) per share Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic shares of common stock ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic earnings (loss) per share $ $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted earnings (loss) per share Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic shares of common stock Plus impact of share-based awards — — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted shares of common stock ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 excludes the share-based awards listed in the following table due to their anti-dilutive effect, as determined under the treasury stock method: Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year (Amounts in thousands) Stock options Stock appreciation rights(1) Restricted stock and units ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total anti-dilutive shares ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) Each stock appreciation right ("SAR") referred to above represents the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of common stock from the date of grant of the SAR to the date of exercise of the SAR.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Significant Risks and Uncertainties	3. Significant Risks and Uncertainties Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, long-lived assets, intangible assets, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Concentration of Risk The Company is subject to concentration of credit risk relating to cash, primarily store depository accounts, which are maintained with major financial institutions. The Company monitors the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and other entities and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. The Company also monitors the creditworthiness of the entities to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company's largest country sources are China, Vietnam and Indonesia, which represented approximately 97% of merchandise purchases in fiscal year 2017. The Company utilized three major apparel agents, which together represented approximately 74% of the Company's merchandise purchases during fiscal year 2017; however, no individual factory represented more than approximately 6% of the Company's merchandise purchases. The Company expects to continue to utilize three major apparel agents for a large portion of its merchandise in fiscal year 2018, while maintaining a broad factory base, in order to reduce costs, maximize production and logistics assistance, and increase speed to market.

Proprietary Credit Card
Proprietary Credit Card	4. Proprietary Credit Card The Company has a credit card processing agreement with ADS, which provides the services of the Company's proprietary credit card program. The Company allows payments on this credit card to be made at its stores as a service to its customers. ADS owns the credit card accounts, with no recourse from the Company. The Company's receivable due from ADS at any time represents the standard processing time of approximately three days. The amount due at February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017 was $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with credit exposure. On July 14, 2016, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Private Label Credit Card Program Agreement, effectively dated May 1, 2016, with ADS, which replaced the existing agreement with ADS and has a term through April 30, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the ADS Agreement, ADS has the exclusive right to provide private label credit cards to customers of the Company. In connection with the execution of the ADS Agreement, the Company received $40.0 million in signing bonuses. The signing bonuses were payable in two installments, of which $17.5 million was received on July 28, 2016, and $22.5 million was received on January 10, 2017. Upon execution of the ADS Agreement, the Company recorded $40.0 million of deferred revenue, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the ADS Agreement. As of February 3, 2018, $29.0 million of deferred revenue is included in "Other liabilities" and $4.0 million of deferred revenue is included in "Accrued expenses" on the consolidated balance sheet. As of January 28, 2017, $33.0 million of deferred revenue is included in "Other liabilities" and $4.0 million of deferred revenue is included in "Accrued expenses" on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, over the term of the ADS Agreement, the Company will receive an increased level of royalty payments based on a percentage of private label credit card sales. During fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2016, the Company recognized $24.8 million and $11.0 million of revenue from royalties and the amortization of signing bonuses in connection with the ADS Agreement, respectively. This compares to recognizing $4.2 million of marketing credits in fiscal year 2015 under the previous agreement with ADS, which were recorded as a reduction to marketing expense within selling, general and administrative expenses. Under the previous agreement with ADS, marketing credits received by the Company were to be used for marketing of the Company's proprietary credit card program and other marketing-related activities, and as such the Company recorded these marketing credits as a reduction to marketing expense.

Commitments and Contingencies	6. Commitments and Contingencies The Company leases retail business locations, office and warehouse facilities, and automotive equipment under various non-cancelable operating leases expiring in various years through 2031. Leases on retail business locations typically specify minimum rentals plus common area maintenance ("CAM") charges, real estate taxes, other landlord charges and possible additional rentals based upon percentages of sales. Most of the retail business location leases have an original term of 10 years and some provide renewal options at rates specified in the leases. As of February 3, 2018, approximately 65% of its store leases could be terminated by the Company before fiscal year end 2019. The Company leases office space for its corporate headquarters at 330 West 34 th Street, New York, New York. The lease for the corporate headquarters expires in 2030.

In many of the Company's leases, CAM charges are not fixed and can fluctuate from year to year. During fiscal year 2017, CAM charges and real estate taxes were $46.3 million and other landlord charges were $3.3 million. As of February 3, 2018, the Company had open purchase commitments of $89.0 million for inventory and $0.2 million for store construction. Legal Proceedings On February 10, 2017, the Company received an unfavorable judgment related to a trademark infringement case, which the Company is in the process of challenging. In connection with this ongoing dispute, the Company recorded a $6.2 million expense accrual during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, which is reported in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the consolidated statement of operations. During fiscal year 2017, the Company recorded a $2.8 million reversal of a portion of this legal expense accrual, as a result of an amended judgement reducing the initial damages awarded in the trademark infringement dispute. There are various claims, lawsuits and pending actions against the Company arising in the normal course of the Company's business. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Employee Benefit Plans	7. Employee Benefit Plans Savings and Retirement Plans The Company contributes to a defined contribution savings and retirement plan (the "SARP") qualifying under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participation in the Company's SARP is available to all associates, if not covered by the pension plan discussed below, who have completed 1,000 or more hours of service with the Company during certain twelve-month periods and have attained the age of 21. Participants are able to contribute up to 100% of their pay to the SARP, subject to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") limits. The Company matches 100% of the employee's contribution up to a maximum of 4% of the employee's eligible pay. The Company match is immediately vested. The Company's costs under this plan were as follows: Fiscal Year (Amounts 2017 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ Pension Plan The Company sponsors a single employer defined benefit pension plan ("plan") covering substantially all union employees. Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements are primarily non-management store associates, representing approximately 6% of the Company's workforce at February 3, 2018. The plan provides retirement benefits for union employees who have attained the age of 21 and complete 1,000 or more hours of service in any calendar year following the date of employment. The plan provides benefits based on length of service. The Company's funding policy for the pension plan is to contribute annually the amount necessary to provide for benefits based on accrued service and to contribute at least the minimum required by ERISA rules. The Company expects to contribute approximately $0.5 million to the plan during fiscal year 2018. The Company's pension plan weighted average asset allocation, by asset category, is as follows: Asset Category Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Equity securities % % Fixed income % % Cash and cash equivalents % % The Company's investment policy generally targets 65% to 70% in equity securities and 30% to 35% in fixed income.

The Company's board of directors and stockholders approved the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan") on May 3, 2006, and June 21, 2006, respectively. From time to time, the Company's stockholders approve amendments to the 2006 Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance, among other matters. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued under the New York & Company, Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Amended and Restated 2006 Plan") is 12,668,496 shares, and the maximum number of shares which may be used for awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights ("SARs") is 7,750,000 shares. These shares may be in whole or in part authorized and unissued or held by the Company as treasury shares. Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option Plan. The Company originally adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan on November 27, 2002 and approved the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option Plan (the "2002 Plan") to become effective on October 13, 2004. As of November 27, 2012, the 2002 Plan expired and no new awards may be issued from the 2002 Plan. Under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan, the Company is able to grant share-based awards to its executives, consultants, directors, or other key employees. Options and SARs generally have a maximum term of up to 10 years. Upon grant of share-based awards, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors will determine the exercise price, if applicable, and the term and conditions of any award pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan. The exercise price of an incentive stock option and a SAR; however, may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option awarded to a person who owns stock constituting more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company may not be less than 110% of the fair market value on such date and the option must be exercised within five years of the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of common stock for which an incentive stock option is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year, under all equity incentive plans of the Company, may not exceed $0.1 million. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a participant will receive a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of a share of common stock over the exercise price per share, multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the SAR is exercised. Vesting provisions for all share-based awards are determined by the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors at the date of grant; however, subject to certain restrictions, all outstanding share-based awards may vest upon a sale of the Company. Subsequent to receiving stockholder approval, the Company completed a value-for-value SARs and stock option exchange program on June 29, 2017 ("Exchange Program"). The Exchange Program was open to all associates of the Company who held SARs and non-qualified stock options with an exercise price greater than or equal to $2.60 per share ("Eligible Awards"). The program was not available to any former associates or non-executive members of the Company's board of directors. Pursuant to the Exchange Program, 237,750 stock options and 4,888,379 SARs were canceled and replaced with 2,466,694 SARs ("Replacement SARs") at an exercise price equal to the Company's closing stock price on the grant date (June 29, 2017), which was $1.36. The exchange ratio was calculated such that the value of the Replacement SARs would equal the value of the canceled Eligible Awards, determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option valuation model, with no incremental cost incurred by the Company. The Replacement SARs have a new minimum time vesting requirement of one year from the date of the replacement grant (June 29, 2017), such that all Replacement SARs issued in the Exchange Program were unvested on the replacement grant date thereby increasing the retention value of previously vested awards. Replacement SARs granted in exchange for unvested Eligible Awards continue to vest to the same extent and proportion as the tendered Eligible Awards. If an employee is involuntarily terminated without cause, or upon a change in control, the employee's Replacement SARs that were granted in exchange for vested Eligible Awards will vest under the original vesting schedule and the remaining unvested Replacement SARs will be forfeited on the termination effective date. The other terms and conditions of each Replacement SARs grant are substantially similar to those of the tendered Eligible Awards it replaced. Each Replacement SAR was granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan. Of the 5,126,129 tendered Eligible Awards, 5,056,129 shares were returned to the Amended and Restated 2006 Plan to be available for future issuances. At February 3, 2018, shares that are not currently outstanding and are available for issuance amounted to 4,852,301. A summary of the Company's stock options and SARs outstanding as of February 3, 2018 and activity for fiscal year 2017 is presented below: Number Weighted Weighted Aggregate (Amounts in (Amounts in Outstanding, beginning of period $ Granted(1) Exercised ) Forfeited ) Canceled/Expired(1) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Outstanding, end of period(2) $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Exercisable, end of period $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) In connection with the Exchange Program, 237,750 options to purchase common stock and 4,888,379 SARs were canceled, and 2,466,694 Replacement SARs were granted. (2) There were 37,500 stock options and 3,743,342 SARs outstanding as of February 3, 2018, of which 37,500 stock options and 829,310 SARs were vested. The non-vested SARs outstanding at February 3, 2018 vest subject to the passage of time through fiscal year 2021. Aggregate intrinsic value for both outstanding and exercisable options and SARs, in the table above, represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal year 2017 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options and SARs) that would have been received by the option and SAR holders had all option and SAR holders exercised their options and SARs on February 3, 2018. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company's common stock. Total intrinsic value of options and SARs exercised for fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 (based on the difference between the Company's stock price on the respective exercise date and the respective exercise price, multiplied by the number of respective options and SARs exercised) was approximately $0.2 million, $0.1 million, and $2,000, respectively. In accordance with ASC 718, the fair value of each option and SAR granted is estimated on the date granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for all employees and non-employee board members. The weighted average fair value for options and SARs granted during fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 was $0.63, $0.98, and $1.03, respectively. The total fair value of share-based awards that vested during fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 was $3.3 million, $4.3 million, and $4.7 million, respectively. The following weighted average assumptions were used to value stock options and SARs: Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Expected volatility % % % Expected life 4.6 years 4.3 years 4.1 years Risk-free interest rate % % % Expected dividend yield — % — % — % The risk-free interest rate used to value stock options and SARs is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with maturity dates that coincide with the expected life of the options and SARs. The expected life represents the weighted average period the stock options and SARs are expected to remain outstanding and is based primarily on industry averages due to the Company's limited historical data for employee exercises. The Company's assumption for volatility is based on its historical volatility calculated on the grant date of an award for a period of time that coincides with the expected life of the options. The following table summarizes the restricted stock and unit awards outstanding at February 3, 2018 and activity for fiscal year 2017: Shares Weighted Average (Amounts in Nonvested at January 28, 2017 $ Granted $ Vested ) $ Forfeited ) $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nonvested at February 3, 2018 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The fair value of restricted stock and units is based on the closing stock price of an unrestricted share of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Each vested stock unit is convertible into one share of the Company's common stock. The non-vested shares outstanding at February 3, 2018 vest subject to the passage of time through fiscal year 2021. Total share-based compensation expense attributable to all share-based awards was $2.2 million, $3.4 million, and $3.9 million in fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015, respectively. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period for each share-based payment award. The Company recognized a tax benefit in the consolidated statements of operations related to share-based compensation expense of $0.5 million, $1.3 million, and $1.5 million in fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015, respectively. The tax benefit recognized in fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 consolidated statements of operations was offset by corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company recognized $0.4 million in excess benefit in the consolidated statement of operations related to the exercise of SARs during fiscal year 2017. The Company did not recognize an excess benefit related to the exercise of options and SARs during fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2015 due to the deferred tax valuation allowance. For further information related to the deferred tax valuation allowance, please refer to Note 11, "Income Taxes." Unamortized share-based compensation expense at February 3, 2018 was $2.1 million and will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities
Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities	10. Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities On October 24, 2014, Lerner New York, Inc., Lernco, Inc. and Lerner New York Outlet, LLC (f.k.a. Lerner New York Outlet, Inc.), wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of New York & Company, Inc., entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Agent and Term Loan Agent and the lender party thereto. The obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by New York & Company, Inc. and its other subsidiaries. The Loan Agreement consists of: (i) a revolving credit facility that provides the Company with up to $100 million of credit, consisting of a $75 million revolving credit facility (which includes a sub-facility for issuance of letters of credit up to $45 million) with a fully committed accordion option that allows the Company to increase the revolving credit facility up to $100 million or decrease it to a minimum of $60 million, subject to certain restrictions, and (ii) a $15 million, 5-year term loan, bearing interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.50% (the "Term Loan"). On April 5, 2018, the Company used cash on-hand to prepay in full the $11.5 million outstanding balance of this Term Loan. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the interest rates applicable to Revolving Loans are, at the Company's option, either at a floating rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of between 1.50% and 1.75% per year for Eurodollar Rate Loans or a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus a margin of between 0.50% and 0.75% per year for Prime Rate Loans, depending upon the Company's Average Compliance Excess Availability. The Company pays to the lender under the revolving credit facility a monthly fee on outstanding commercial letters of credit at a rate of between 0.75% and 0.875% per year and on standby letters of credit at a rate of between 1.50% and 1.75% per year, depending upon the Company's Average Compliance Excess Availability, plus a monthly fee on a proportion of the unused commitments under the revolving credit facility at a rate of 0.25% per year. The maximum borrowing availability under the Company's revolving credit facility is determined by a monthly borrowing base calculation based on applying specified advance rates against inventory and certain other eligible assets. As of February 3, 2018, the Company had availability under its revolving credit facility of $38.1 million, net of letters of credit outstanding of $12.5 million, as compared to availability of $36.7 million, net of letters of credit outstanding of $14.5 million, as of January 28, 2017. Included in the $12.5 million of letters of credit outstanding at February 3, 2018 are $0.2 million of trade letters of credit and $12.2 million of standby letters of credit primarily related to the Company's new corporate headquarters and certain insurance contracts. Standby letters of credit related to the Company's corporate headquarters are scheduled to be reduced by $2.0 million annually, which began in October 2017, for a total reduction of $6.0 million by October 2019. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company is subject to a Minimum Excess Availability covenant of $7.5 million. The Loan Agreement contains other covenants and conditions, including restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends on its common stock, prepay the Term Loan, incur additional indebtedness and to prepay, redeem, defease or purchase other indebtedness. Subject to such restrictions, the Company may incur more indebtedness for working capital, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, acquisitions and for other purposes. The lender has been granted a pledge of the common stock of Lerner New York Holding, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, and a first priority security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of New York & Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as collateral for the Company's obligations under the Loan Agreement. In addition, New York & Company, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations under the Loan Agreement, and such guarantees are joint and several.

Changes including among other items, a reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%. Although the Tax Act is generally effective January 1, 2018, GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation during the reporting period that includes the enactment date, which was December 22, 2017. As a result of the lower corporate tax rate enacted as part of the Tax Act, the Company reduced deferred tax assets by $20.9 million. The reduction in deferred tax assets was offset by a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance resulting in no net impact to tax expense. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets until the Company believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized in the future. If sufficient positive evidence arises in the future indicating that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets meet the more-likely-than-not standard under ASC 740, the valuation allowance would be reversed accordingly in the period that such determination is made. During fiscal year 2017, the change in the valuation allowance of $17.7 million consisted of a $3.2 million increase as result of operations with an offsetting $20.9 million reduction due to the Tax Act. Due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies are recognized as income tax expense in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. This may result in increased volatility in the Company's effective tax rate. As of February 3, 2018, the Company had $634.8 million of various state net operating loss carryforwards and $48.2 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards. The state net operating loss carryforwards are reported on a pre-apportioned basis that applies to various states with varying tax laws and expiration dates. Below is a summary of the Company's loss carryforwards and when they expire: Tax Year Ended State NOL The Earliest Years 2/3/2007 $ FY2012 9 2/2/2008 FY2013 10 1/31/2009 FY2014 11 1/30/2010 FY2015 12 1/29/2011 FY2016 13 1/28/2012 FY2017 14 2/2/2013 FY2018 15 2/1/2014 FY2019 1 to 16 1/31/2015 FY2020 2 to 17 1/30/2016 FY2021 3 to 18 1/28/2017 FY2022 4 to 19 2/3/2018.

At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, the Company had accrued $0.8 million and $0.7 million respectively, for the potential payment of interest and penalties. The Company does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months. Of the total $2.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits at February 3, 2018, approximately $1.5 million, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate.

The Company refers to this business re-engineering program as "Project Excellence." The first phase of Project Excellence consisted of an organizational realignment initiated at the end of fiscal year 2014 and completed in fiscal year 2015. The Company completed the second phase of Project Excellence during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, which consisted of: (i) a comprehensive review of the Company's "Go-To-Market" strategy aimed at improving operating efficiencies and reducing costs associated with the related processes, (ii) the reduction of indirect procurement costs, and (iii) additional workforce reductions in connection with the organizational realignment. The Company expects to recognize combined annual expense reductions of approximately $30 million upon the execution of the business improvement plans identified through both phases of Project Excellence; however, a portion of these savings are expected to be reinvested into the Company's strategic initiatives and longer-term growth strategies. Approximately $15 million of the $30 million of annual savings from Project Excellence is a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses that began in fiscal year 2015, mitigating inflationary increases in certain fixed costs and an increase in variable expenses to support the growth in eCommerce and Outlet stores. The remaining $15 million of annual savings from Project Excellence is reflected as a reduction in product costs of approximately $10 million and a reduction in buying expenses resulting in improved gross margins that began in fiscal year 2016. The Company recorded the following charges in "Selling, general and administrative expenses," unless noted otherwise, on the consolidated statements of operations during fiscal year 2017 that affect comparability: • First quarter ended April 29, 2017 includes $0.6 million of consulting fees incurred in connection with Project Excellence and $0.5 million of legal expenses related to an ongoing trademark infringement case. In addition, the Company recorded $0.5 million of certain severance expense in "Costs of goods sold, buying and occupancy costs." • Second quarter ended July 29, 2017 includes $0.5 million of consulting fees incurred in connection with Project Excellence, $0.4 million of certain executive relocation expense, and a $2.6 million net legal accrual reversal primarily related to an ongoing trademark infringement case. • Third quarter ended October 28, 2017 includes $0.6 million of certain severance expense, $0.1 million of consulting fees incurred in connection with Project Excellence, and $0.1 million of legal settlement fees. In addition, the Company recorded a $0.2 million reversal of certain severance expense in "Costs of goods sold, buying and occupancy costs." • Fourth quarter ended February 3, 2018 is primarily comprised of $0.3 million of consulting fees incurred in connection with Project Excellence. The Company recorded the following charges in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the consolidated statements of operations during fiscal year 2016 that affect comparability: • Third quarter ended October 29, 2016 includes a $0.5 million legal accrual reversal. • Fourth quarter ended January 28, 2017 includes a $6.2 million expense accrual relating to an ongoing trademark infringement case.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ ("ASC") Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date," which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. As amended, early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. The standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company will adopt Topic 606 as of February 4, 2018 (the first day of fiscal year 2018) using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of Topic 606 will impact the timing of when revenue is recognized from the Company's loyalty rewards program ("Runway Rewards") and certain other sales incentives offered to the Company's customers, as a result of a change in accounting as described below. The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 606 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Currently under the Company's loyalty rewards program, the Company recognizes revenue for the full sale amount at the time of sale and accrues the estimated cost of rewards earned and outstanding until the rewards are redeemed or expire, which is referred to as the incremental cost method. Under Topic 606, the Company will no longer accrue the estimated cost of rewards earned and outstanding and will defer a portion of the revenue at the time of sale using the standalone selling price method, as described in Topic 606, until the rewards are redeemed or expire. On the date of adoption of Topic 606, the Company will establish a current liability for deferred revenue equal to the estimated value of rewards earned and outstanding that are expected to be redeemed under its loyalty rewards program, with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company plans to account for certain other sales incentives offered to its customers in a manner similar to the accounting for its loyalty rewards program under Topic 606. Topic 606 will require expanded disclosures related to revenue streams, performance obligations and cash flows and the related judgments used in developing the necessary estimates. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which is a comprehensive new lease standard that amends various aspects of existing accounting guidance for leases. The core principle of ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to present the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on their balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years and requires modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard on the Company's financial position and results of operations. However, the Company expects that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in a significant increase to its long-term assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), which simplifies several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification within the statement of cash flows for certain components of share-based awards. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 on January 29, 2017 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805)": Clarifying the Definition of a Business" (ASU 2017-01") which clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-01 on February 2, 2018 in connection with the acquisition of $2.2 million of intangible assets and $0.2 million of store fixtures and equipment previously owned by Fashion to Figure, a U.S. based retailer of trendy plus-size fashions. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"), which requires: (i) the disaggregation of the service cost component from the other components of net benefit costs in the income statement; (ii) provides explicit guidance on the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement; and (iii) allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and requires retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 on February 4, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2018-02"),which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-02 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sale of merchandise at the Company's stores is recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the related merchandise and the purchases are paid for, primarily with either cash or credit card. Revenue, including shipping fees billed to customers, from the sale of merchandise at the Company's eCommerce store is recognized when the merchandise is shipped to the customer and the purchases are paid for. Revenue for gift cards and merchandise credits is recognized at redemption. Prior to their redemption, gift cards and merchandise credits are recorded as a liability. Discounts and promotional coupons offered to customers are accounted for as a reduction of sales revenue at the time the coupons are tendered by the customer. The Company presents sales taxes collected from customers on a net basis (excluded from revenues). The Company also recognizes revenue in connection with its new private label credit card agreement with Comenity Bank, a bank subsidiary of Alliance Data Systems Corporation ("ADS"), which replaced the existing agreement with ADS and has a term through April 30, 2026 (the "ADS Agreement"). Upon execution of the ADS Agreement on July 14, 2016, the Company recorded $40.0 million of deferred revenue, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the ADS agreement. In addition, over the term of the ADS Agreement, the Company will receive an increased level of royalty revenue based on a percentage of private label credit card sales. For further information related to the ADS Agreement, please refer to Note 4, "Proprietary Credit Card" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company issues gift cards and merchandise credits which do not contain provisions for expiration or inactivity fees. The portion of the dollar value of gift cards and merchandise credits that ultimately is not used by customers to make purchases is known as breakage and will be recognized as revenue if the Company determines it is not required to escheat such amounts to government agencies under state escheatment laws. The Company recognizes gift card and merchandise credit breakage as revenue as they each are redeemed over a two-year redemption period based on their respective historical breakage rate. The Company considers the likelihood of redemption remote beyond a two-year redemption period, at which point any unrecognized breakage is recognized as revenue. The Company determined the redemption period and the breakage rates for gift cards and merchandise credits based on their respective historical redemption patterns. During fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 the Company recorded breakage revenue for gift cards and merchandise credits of $0.6 million, $0.7 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.
Reserve for Returns	Reserve for Returns The Company reserves for sales returns through reductions in sales and gross margin based upon historical merchandise returns experience and current sales levels.
Fair value Measurements and Financial Instruments	Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820 Topic, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The carrying values on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such items. At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, the carrying amount of long-term debt approximated its fair value due to the variable interest rate it carries.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash in banks, cash on-hand, and all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market, on a weighted average cost basis, using the retail method.
Deferred Rent	Deferred Rent The Company recognizes fixed minimum rent expense on non-cancelable leases on a straight-line basis over the term of each individual lease including the build-out period. The difference between recognized rental expense and amounts payable under the lease is recorded as a deferred lease liability. In addition, the Company recognizes landlord allowances as a deferred lease liability, which is amortized over the term of the related lease as a reduction to rent expense. For contingent rent expense based upon sales, the Company estimates annual contingent rent expense and recognizes a portion each month based on actual sales. At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, the deferred lease liability was $27.2 million and $30.0 million, respectively, and is reported as "Deferred rent" on the consolidated balance sheets.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for new properties and improvements are capitalized, while the cost of repair and maintenance is charged to expense. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment, for financial statement purposes, are as follows: Depreciable Fixed Assets Useful Life Land — Store fixtures and equipment 3 - 10 years Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 - 15 years Software 5 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of the useful life or the term of the lease
Cost of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy Costs	Cost of Goods Sold, Buying and Occupancy Costs Cost of goods sold, buying and occupancy costs is comprised of direct inventory costs for merchandise sold, distribution costs, shipping costs, payroll and related costs for the Company's design, sourcing, production, merchandising, planning and allocation personnel, and store occupancy and related costs.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for all share-based payments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). For further information related to share-based compensation, please refer to Note 8, "Share-Based Compensation."
Marketing	Marketing Marketing costs, which consist primarily of direct mail and point-of-sale ("POS") advertising costs, are expensed at the time the promotion is mailed or first appears in the store. For the following periods, marketing costs reported in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the consolidated statements of operations were as follows: Fiscal Year (Amounts 2017 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, marketing costs reported in "Prepaid expenses" on the consolidated balance sheets amounted to $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
Pre-Opening Expenses	Pre-Opening Expenses Costs, such as advertising and payroll costs, incurred prior to the opening of a new store are expensed as incurred.
Store Supplies	Store Supplies The initial inventory and subsequent shipments of supplies for new stores, including, but not limited to, hangers, signage, packaging and POS supplies, are expensed as incurred.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs Costs related to the issuance of debt are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt. Debt issuance costs related to the Company's revolving credit facility are capitalized as "Other assets" in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized as interest expense over the term of the credit facility. At February 3, 2018 and January 28, 2017, net deferred financing costs were $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Interest Expense	Interest Expense Interest expense, net of interest income, includes interest primarily related to the Company's long-term debt, amortization of deferred financing costs, and revolving credit facility.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets	Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company evaluates the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment." Long-lived assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may have been impaired. The evaluation is performed at the individual store level, which is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows at the individual store level that are expected to result from the use of each store's assets based on historical experience, omni-channel strategy, knowledge and market data assumptions. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived assets, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, is recognized.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets The Company follows ASU 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," which amends FASB ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other" to permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the impairment test of comparing the carrying amount with the recoverable amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. The Company's intangible assets relate to the New York & Company trademarks, which were initially valued at $14.8 million, and the Fashion to Figure trademarks and customer list acquired on February 2, 2018, which were valued at $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The New York & Company trademarks were initially valued using the "relief from royalty method" and were determined to have indefinite lives by an independent appraiser. The value of the Fashion to Figure trademarks and customer list represents the Company's cost to acquire such assets on February 2, 2018. The Company has determined the Fashion to Figure trademarks to have indefinite lives, and the customer list to have a useful life of five years over which time the value of the customer list will be amortized into selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company assesses trademarks for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of trademarks below their carrying value. The Company's fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 impairment tests resulted in a fair value that significantly exceeded the carrying amount of the Company's trademarks. In addition to assessing qualitative factors that could impact the fair value of the New York & Company trademarks, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions used in the trademark impairment analysis and has determined that a significant, negative change in the assumptions would not impact the Company's conclusion that no impairment was required.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), which requires the use of the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Inherent in the measurement of deferred balances are certain judgments and interpretations of enacted tax laws and published guidance with respect to applicability to the Company's operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provisions in ASC 740 related to accounting for uncertain tax positions prescribe a comprehensive model of how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Under these provisions, the Company recognizes a tax benefit when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based solely on its technical merits. The Company measures the recognized tax benefit as the largest amount of tax benefit that has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company reverses a previously recognized tax benefit if it determines that the tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. For further information related to deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance, as well as information on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, please refer to Note 11, "Income Taxes," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). The tax effect of other comprehensive income (loss) is offset by corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The Company reports the components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of share-based awards calculated under the treasury stock method. A reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is as follows: Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year (Amounts in thousands, except per Net earnings (loss) $ $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic earnings (loss) per share Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic shares of common stock ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic earnings (loss) per share $ $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted earnings (loss) per share Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic shares of common stock Plus impact of share-based awards — — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted shares of common stock ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for fiscal year 2017, fiscal year 2016, and fiscal year 2015 excludes the share-based awards listed in the following table due to their anti-dilutive effect, as determined under the treasury stock method: Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year (Amounts in thousands) Stock options Stock appreciation rights(1) Restricted stock and units ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total anti-dilutive shares ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) Each stock appreciation right ("SAR") referred to above represents the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of common stock from the date of grant of the SAR to the date of exercise of the SAR. Upon exercise, the SARs will be settled in stock.
