	1	Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Background
	GameStop Corp. (“GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a global family of specialty retail brands that makes the most popular technologies affordable and simple. As the world's largest multichannel video game retailer, we sell new and pre-owned video game hardware, physical and digital video game software, video game accessories, as well as new and pre-owned mobile and consumer electronics products and other merchandise primarily through our GameStop, EB Games and Micromania stores. We sell consumer electronics, mobile products and wireless services primarily through our Simply Mac, Spring Mobile and Cricket Wireless stores. As of August 2, 2014, we operated 6,698 stores, in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, which are primarily located in major shopping malls and strip centers. We also operate electronic commerce Web sites www.gamestop.com, www.ebgames.com.au, www.ebgames.co.nz, www.gamestop.ca, www.gamestop.it, www.gamestop.es, www.gamestop.ie, www.gamestop.de, www.gamestop.co.uk and www.micromania.fr. The network also includes: www.kongregate.com, a leading browser-based game site; Game Informer magazine, the world's leading print and digital video game publication; a digital PC game distribution platform available at www.gamestop.com/pcgames; iOS and Android mobile applications; and an online consumer electronics marketplace available at www.buymytronics.com. We also own and operate a certified Apple reseller selling Apple products in the United States under the name Simply Mac; Spring Mobile, an authorized AT&T reseller operating AT&T branded wireless retail stores in the United States; and pre-paid wireless stores under the name Cricket Wireless (an AT&T brand) as part of our expanding relationship with AT&T. We operate our business in four Video Game Brands segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe, and a Technology Brands segment, which was added in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year comprised of the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2014 ("fiscal 2013") and includes the operations of our Simply Mac, Spring Mobile and Cricket Wireless businesses.
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2014 (the “2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. In preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used by us could have a significant impact on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2014 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2014”).
	We have revised the presentation of outstanding checks in our prior period financial statements as indicated in the tables below. Previously, we reduced cash and liabilities when the checks were presented for payment and cleared our bank accounts. We now reduce cash and liabilities when the checks are released for payment. The impacts of revising our financial statements for the specified prior periods are as follows:


	Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 3, 2013:		As Previously Reported			Revision			As Revised
			(In millions)
	Cash and cash equivalents		$	199.5		$	(72.1	)	$	127.4

	Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013:		As Previously Reported			Revision			As Revised
			(In millions)
	Changes in operating assets and liabilities:
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		$	(389.3	)	$	189.3		$	(200.0	)

	Net cash flows provided by operating activities		(274.6		)	189.3			(85.3		)

	Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		635.8			(261.4		)	374.4

	Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		199.5			(72.1		)	127.4

	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash of $13.6 million, $10.4 million and $16.4 million as of August 2, 2014, August 3, 2013 and February 1, 2014, respectively, consists primarily of bank deposits serving as collateral for bank guarantees issued on behalf of our foreign subsidiaries and is included in other noncurrent assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue from the sales of our products is recognized at the time of sale, net of sales discounts and net of an estimated sales return reserve, based on historical return rates, with a corresponding reduction in cost of sales. Our sales return policy is generally limited to less than 30 days and as such our sales returns are, and have historically been, immaterial.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, as part of its ongoing efforts to assist in the convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 related to revenue recognition. The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The ASU provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements as well as the appropriate method of adoption.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 related to reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Specifically, the ASU amends the definition of a discontinued operation, expands disclosure requirements for transactions that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose additional information about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale and do not qualify as discontinued operations. Additionally, entities will be required to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position and to separately present certain information related to the operating and investing cash flows of the discontinued operation, for all comparative periods, in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending January 30, 2016 and will be adopted on a prospective basis for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale prior to the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after the adoption date, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

	2	Acquisitions
	Technology Brands
	During the first half of fiscal 2014, in connection with the continued expansion of our Technology Brands business, Spring Mobile completed acquisitions of certain AT&T resellers and Simply Mac completed an acquisition of an authorized Apple retailer for total consideration of $45.6 million ($43.1 million net of cash acquired). We recorded an immaterial amount of goodwill related to these acquisitions. We continue to believe that our Spring Mobile and Simply Mac businesses represent important strategic growth opportunities for us within the specialty retail marketplace and also provide avenues for diversification relative to our core operations in the video game retail marketplace.

	The following is a summary of the stock-based awards granted during the periods indicated:

			Shares			Weighted Average			Shares			Weighted Average
						Grant Date Fair						Grant Date Fair

	Restricted stock awards – performance-based		182			38.52			262			24.82

	Total stock-based awards		902						1,635

	For stock options granted, we record stock-based compensation expense in earnings based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This valuation model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected option life, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected employee forfeiture rate. We use historical data to estimate the option life, dividend yield and the employee forfeiture rate, and use historical volatility when estimating the stock price volatility. The following assumptions were used with respect to the stock options granted:



		26 Weeks Ended
		August 2,			August 3,
		2014			2013
	Volatility	46.5	%		46.4	%
	Risk-free interest rate	1.7	%		1	%
	Expected life (years)	5.5			5.6

	Expected dividend yield	3.4	%		4.3	%
	Total stock-based compensation recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses was as follows for the periods indicated:

	Stock-based compensation expense		$	6.8			$	6		$	12.6			$	11.5

	As of August 2, 2014, the unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of our stock-based awards was $43.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2014 and the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013 was $5.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2014 and the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 was $6.3 million and $21.1 million, respectively.

Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	'


	4	Computation of Net Income per Common Share
	Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Under the treasury stock method, potentially dilutive securities include stock options and unvested restricted stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share if their effect would be antidilutive.
	A reconciliation of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:



			13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments	'


	5	Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
	Recurring Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Financial Instruments
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value accounting guidance applies to our foreign currency contracts, which include forward exchange contracts, foreign currency options and cross-currency swaps, our Company-owned life insurance policies with a cash surrender value and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition.
	Fair value accounting guidance requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.
	We value our foreign currency contracts, Company-owned life insurance policies with cash surrender values and certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities based on Level 2 inputs using quotations provided by major market news services, such as Bloomberg, and industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, time value, volatility factors, and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted to reflect credit considerations, generally based on available market evidence.
	The following table provides the fair value of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):

	(2)	Recognized in accrued liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	We use foreign currency contracts to manage currency risk primarily related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the re-measurement of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities. The total gross notional value of derivatives related to our foreign currency contracts was $713.4 million, $692.3 million and $640.6 million as of August 2, 2014, August 3, 2013 and February 1, 2014, respectively.
	Activity related to the trading of derivative instruments and the offsetting impact of related intercompany loans and foreign currency assets and liabilities recognized in selling, general and administrative expense is as follows (in millions):

	Total		$	0.7		$	2.5		$	1.3		$	3.1

	We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments and cash equivalent investments. We manage counterparty risk according to the guidelines and controls established under our comprehensive risk management and investment policies. We continuously monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize a number of different counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under derivative or investment agreements.
	Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
	In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. We did not record any significant impairment charges related to assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2014 or August 3, 2013, respectively.
	Other Fair Value Disclosures
	The carrying values of our cash equivalents, receivables, net and accounts payable approximate the fair value due to their short-term maturities.

Debt	'


	6	Debt
	On January 4, 2011, we entered into a $400 million credit agreement, which we amended and restated on March 25, 2014 (the “Revolver”). The Revolver is a five-year, asset-based facility that is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries. Availability under the Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation. The Revolver includes a $50 million letter of credit sublimit. Prior to the March 2014 amendments, the Revolver was scheduled to mature in January 2016. The amendments extended the maturity date to March 25, 2019; increased the expansion feature under the Revolver from $150 million to $200 million, subject to certain conditions; and revised certain other terms, including a reduction of the fee we are required to pay on the unused portion of the total commitment amount. We believe the extension of the maturity date of the Revolver to March 2019 helps to limit our exposure to potential tightening or other adverse changes in the credit markets.

	Borrowing availability under the Revolver is limited to a borrowing base which allows us to borrow up to 90% of the appraisal value of the inventory, in each case plus 90% of eligible credit card receivables, net of certain reserves. The borrowing base provides for borrowing up to 92.5% of the appraisal value during the fiscal months of August through October. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow under the Revolver by an amount equal to the face value of the letters of credit. Our ability to pay cash dividends, redeem options and repurchase shares is generally permitted, except under certain circumstances, including if either 1) excess availability under the Revolver is less than 30%, or is projected to be within 12 months after such payment or 2) if excess availability under the Revolver is less than 15%, or is projected to be within 12 months after such payment, and the fixed charge coverage ratio, as calculated on a pro-forma basis for the prior 12 months is 1.1:1.0 or less. In the event that excess availability under the Revolver is at any time less than the greater of (1) $30 million or (2) 10% of the lesser of the total commitment or the borrowing base, we will be subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of 1.0:1.0.
	The Revolver places certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, including limitations on asset sales, additional liens, investments, loans, guarantees, acquisitions and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Absent consent from our lenders, we may not incur more than $1 billion of senior secured debt and $750 million of additional unsecured indebtedness to be limited to $250 million in general unsecured obligations and $500 million in unsecured obligations to finance acquisitions valued at $500 million or more.
	The per annum interest rate under the Revolver is variable and is calculated by applying a margin (1) for prime rate loans of 0.25% to 0.75% above the highest of (a) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or (c) the London Interbank Offered (“LIBO”) rate for a 30-day interest period as determined on such day plus 1.00%, and (2) for LIBO rate loans of 1.25% to 1.75% above the LIBO rate. The applicable margin is determined quarterly as a function of our average daily excess availability under the facility. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% for any unused portion of the total commitment under the Revolver. As of August 2, 2014, the applicable margin was 0.25% for prime rate loans and 1.25% for LIBO rate loans.
	The Revolver provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, any material representation or warranty made by us or the borrowers proving to be false in any material respect, certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events affecting us or our subsidiaries, defaults relating to certain other indebtedness, imposition of certain judgments and mergers or the liquidation of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries. During the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2014, we borrowed $476 million and subsequently repaid $266 million under the Revolver. During the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013, we had borrowings of $130 million and repayments of $80 million under the Revolver. Average borrowings under the Revolver for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2014 were $91.1 million. Our average interest rate on those outstanding borrowings for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2014 was 1.7%. As of August 2, 2014, total availability under the Revolver was $181.4 million, with outstanding borrowings of $210 million and outstanding standby letters of credit of $8.3 million. We are currently in compliance with the requirements of the Revolver.
	In September 2007, our Luxembourg subsidiary entered into a discretionary $20.0 million Uncommitted Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit”) with Bank of America. There is no term associated with the Line of Credit and Bank of America may withdraw the facility at any time without notice. The Line of Credit is available to our foreign subsidiaries for use primarily as a bank overdraft facility for short-term liquidity needs and for the issuance of bank guarantees and letters of credit to support operations. As of August 2, 2014, there were no cash overdrafts outstanding under the Line of Credit and bank guarantees outstanding totaled $4.1 million.

	In the ordinary course of business, we are, from time to time, subject to various legal proceedings, including matters involving wage and hour employee class actions and consumer class actions. We may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other types of lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements, if we believe settlement is in the best interest of our stockholders. We do not believe that any such existing legal proceedings or settlements, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

	Beginning with our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we expanded the categories included in our disclosures on sales and gross profit by category to reflect recent changes in our business, the expansion of categories previously included in Other and our management emphasis as we operate in the future. Our previous categories of New Video Game Hardware and New Video Game Software remain unchanged.

	We have expanded our previous category of Pre-owned Video Game Products to include value-priced, or closeout, products and this category is now referred to as the Pre-owned and Value Video Game Products category. We believe there is an opportunity to purchase closeout and overstocked inventory from publishers, distributors and other retailers which is older new product but can be acquired for less than typical new release product costs. This product can then be resold in our Video Game Brands stores and on our websites as value-priced product. Our sales of this product in the past have yielded significantly higher margins than new video game products, yet lower margins than pre-owned video game products.

	In the past, all other products we sold were categorized into “Other,” which included video game accessories, digital products, new and pre-owned mobile products, consumer electronics, revenues from our PowerUp Rewards program and Game Informer subscription sales, strategy guides, toys and PC entertainment software. We are separating our historical Other category into the following new categories:


	•	Video Game Accessories, which includes new accessories for use with video game consoles and hand-held devices and software, such as controllers, gaming headsets and memory cards;

	•	Digital, which includes revenues from the sale of DLC, full game downloads, Xbox Live, PlayStation Plus and Nintendo network points and subscription cards, other prepaid digital currencies and time cards, Kongregate, Game Informer digital subscriptions and PC digital downloads;

	•	Mobile and Consumer Electronics, which includes revenues from selling new and pre-owned mobile devices and consumer electronics in Video Game Brands stores and all revenues from our Technology Brands stores;

	•	Other, which includes revenues from the sales of PC entertainment software, toys, strategy guides and revenues from PowerUp Pro loyalty members receiving Game Informer magazine in physical form.

Basis of Presentation	'
	Background
	GameStop Corp. (“GameStop,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a global family of specialty retail brands that makes the most popular technologies affordable and simple. As the world's largest multichannel video game retailer, we sell new and pre-owned video game hardware, physical and digital video game software, video game accessories, as well as new and pre-owned mobile and consumer electronics products and other merchandise primarily through our GameStop, EB Games and Micromania stores. We sell consumer electronics, mobile products and wireless services primarily through our Simply Mac, Spring Mobile and Cricket Wireless stores. As of August 2, 2014, we operated 6,698 stores, in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, which are primarily located in major shopping malls and strip centers. We also operate electronic commerce Web sites www.gamestop.com, www.ebgames.com.au, www.ebgames.co.nz, www.gamestop.ca, www.gamestop.it, www.gamestop.es, www.gamestop.ie, www.gamestop.de, www.gamestop.co.uk and www.micromania.fr. The network also includes: www.kongregate.com, a leading browser-based game site; Game Informer magazine, the world's leading print and digital video game publication; a digital PC game distribution platform available at www.gamestop.com/pcgames; iOS and Android mobile applications; and an online consumer electronics marketplace available at www.buymytronics.com. We also own and operate a certified Apple reseller selling Apple products in the United States under the name Simply Mac; Spring Mobile, an authorized AT&T reseller operating AT&T branded wireless retail stores in the United States; and pre-paid wireless stores under the name Cricket Wireless (an AT&T brand) as part of our expanding relationship with AT&T. We operate our business in four Video Game Brands segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe, and a Technology Brands segment, which was added in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year comprised of the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2014 ("fiscal 2013") and includes the operations of our Simply Mac, Spring Mobile and Cricket Wireless businesses.
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2014 (the “2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. In preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used by us could have a significant impact on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2014 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2014”).
Restricted Cash	'
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash of $13.6 million, $10.4 million and $16.4 million as of August 2, 2014, August 3, 2013 and February 1, 2014, respectively, consists primarily of bank deposits serving as collateral for bank guarantees issued on behalf of our foreign subsidiaries and is included in other noncurrent assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue from the sales of our products is recognized at the time of sale, net of sales discounts and net of an estimated sales return reserve, based on historical return rates, with a corresponding reduction in cost of sales. Our sales return policy is generally limited to less than 30 days and as such our sales returns are, and have historically been, immaterial.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, as part of its ongoing efforts to assist in the convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 related to revenue recognition. The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The ASU provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements as well as the appropriate method of adoption.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 related to reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Specifically, the ASU amends the definition of a discontinued operation, expands disclosure requirements for transactions that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose additional information about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale and do not qualify as discontinued operations. Additionally, entities will be required to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position and to separately present certain information related to the operating and investing cash flows of the discontinued operation, for all comparative periods, in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending January 30, 2016 and will be adopted on a prospective basis for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale prior to the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after the adoption date, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
