	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
	Business Description
	Express, Inc., together with its subsidiaries ("Express" or the "Company"), is a specialty apparel and accessories retailer of women's and men's merchandise, targeting the 20 to 30 year old customer. Express merchandise is sold through retail stores and the Company's website, www.express.com. As of November 2, 2013, Express operated 628 primarily mall-based stores in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Additionally, the Company earned revenue from 23 franchise stores in the Middle East and Latin America. These franchise stores are operated by franchisees pursuant to franchise agreements. Under the franchise agreements, the franchisees operate stores that sell Express-branded apparel and accessories purchased directly from the Company.
	Fiscal Year
	The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal years are referred to by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. References herein to "2013" and "2012" represent the 52-week period ended February 1, 2014 and the 53-week period ended February 2, 2013, respectively. All references herein to “the third quarter of 2013” and “the third quarter of 2012” represent the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, respectively.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for 2013. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended February 2, 2013, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 2, 2013.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Express, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company revises its estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.
	Reclassifications
	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified or adjusted to conform to the current period presentation.

Segment Reporting Disclosure	'
	Segment Reporting
	The Company defines an operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally. The Company has determined that, together, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Operating Officer are the Chief Operating Decision Maker and that there is one operating segment. Therefore, the Company reports results as a single segment, which includes the operation of its Express brick-and-mortar retail stores, e-commerce operations, and franchise operations.
	The following is information regarding the Company's sales channels:
		Thirteen Weeks Ended				Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended

	Total net sales	$	502,992	$	468,527	$	1,497,674	$	1,419,358
	Other revenue consists primarily of shipping and handling revenue related to e-commerce activity, revenue from franchise agreements, and gift card breakage.
	Revenues and long-lived assets relating to the Company's international operations were not material for any period presented and are, therefore, not reported separately from domestic revenues or long-lived assets.

	Weighted-average shares - diluted	84,603	86,216	85,221	87,835
	Equity awards representing 2.0 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013, as the effects of the awards would have been anti-dilutive. Equity awards representing 3.8 million and 2.4 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively, as the effects of the awards would have been anti-dilutive.
	Additionally, for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013, there were 0.5 million shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares because the number of shares that will ultimately be issued is contingent on the Company's performance compared to pre-established annual performance goals.

	Fair Value of Financial Assets
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date.
	Level 1-Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2-Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	Level 3-Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
	The following table presents the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 2, 2013 and February 2, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

	Related Party Transactions
	The transactions described in this note are transactions between the Company and entities affiliated with Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc. ("Golden Gate"). Prior to July 2007, the Company operated as a division of L Brands, Inc. ("L Brands"). In July 2007, a Golden Gate affiliate acquired approximately 75% of the outstanding equity interests in the Company from L Brands, and the Company began its transition to a stand-alone company. In May 2010, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") whereby Golden Gate and L Brands sold a portion of their shares. Following the IPO, both Golden Gate and L Brands gradually reduced their ownership interest in the Company. On July 29, 2011, L Brands disposed of its remaining ownership interest in the Company and, as a result of this disposition, ceased to be a related party as of the end of the second quarter of 2011. On March 19, 2012, Golden Gate sold its remaining ownership interest in the Company and, as of May 31, 2012, Golden Gate no longer had representation on the Board. As a result, Golden Gate ceased to be a related party as of June 1, 2012. The related party activity with Golden Gate affiliates described in this note includes only expenses incurred and income earned through the date which Golden Gate ceased to be a related party.
	Transactions with Other Golden Gate Affiliates
	The Company transacts with Golden Gate affiliates for e-commerce warehouse and fulfillment services, software license purchases, and consulting and software maintenance services.
	The Company incurred the following charges from Golden Gate affiliates for various services, which are included primarily in cost of goods sold, buying and occupancy costs in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:
		Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended

	The Company provided real estate services to certain Golden Gate affiliates. Income recognized during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 was $0.2 million.
	Interest expense incurred on the 8 3/4% Senior Notes attributable to the $40.0 million of Senior Notes previously owned by a Golden Gate affiliate was $0.3 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012.

	Income Taxes
	The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. The Company's quarterly effective tax rate does not reflect a benefit associated with losses related to certain foreign subsidiaries and foreign tax credit carryovers. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.2% and 41.4% for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, respectively. The effective rate was lower than the comparable prior year period primarily due to a discrete tax charge incurred related to the rate applied to deferred tax balance sheet accounts during the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012.
	The Company's effective tax rate was 39.5% and 40.2% for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, respectively. The effective rate was lower than the comparable prior year period primarily due to a discrete tax charge incurred related to the rate applied to deferred tax balance sheet accounts during the third quarter of 2012.

Lease Financing Obligations [Abstract]	'
Lease Financing Obligations	'
	Lease Financing Obligations
	In certain lease arrangements, the Company is involved in the construction of the building. To the extent the Company is involved in the construction of structural improvements or takes construction risk prior to commencement of a lease, it is deemed the owner of the project for accounting purposes. Therefore, the Company records an asset in property and equipment on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, including any capitalized interest costs, and related liabilities in accrued interest and lease financing obligations in other long-term liabilities on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the replacement cost of the Company's portion of the pre-existing building plus the amount of construction-in-progress incurred by the landlord as of the balance sheet date. Once construction is complete, the Company considers the requirements for sale-leaseback treatment, including the transfer of all risks of ownership back to the landlord, and whether the Company has any continuing involvement in the leased property. If the arrangement does not qualify for sale-leaseback treatment, the building assets subject to these obligations remain on the Company's unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at their historical cost, and such assets are depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The replacement cost of the pre-existing building, as well as the costs of construction paid by the landlord, are recorded as lease financing obligations, and a portion of the lease payments are applied as payments of principal and interest. The interest rate selected for lease financing obligations is evaluated at lease inception based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate. At the end of the initial lease term, should the Company decide not to renew the lease, the Company would reverse equal amounts of the net book value of the assets and the corresponding lease financing obligations. The initial lease terms related to these lease arrangements are expected to expire in 2023 and 2029. As of November 2, 2013 and February 2, 2013, the Company has recorded $52.9 million and $16.2 million, respectively, of landlord funded construction, the replacement cost of pre-existing property, and capitalized interest, with a corresponding amount to lease financing obligations, each of which is reflected in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets and liabilities are classified as non-cash items for purposes of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.
	Rent expense relating to the land is recognized on a straight-line basis once construction begins. Once the store opens, the Company will not report rent expense for the portion of the rent payment determined to be related to the lease obligations which are owned for accounting purposes. Rather, this portion of rent payment under the lease will be recognized as a reduction of the lease financing obligations and as interest expense.

	On July 29, 2011, Express Holding, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Express Holding"), and its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated $200.0 million secured Asset-Based Credit Facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"). As of November 2, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding and approximately $197.4 million available under the the Revolving Credit Facility.
	The Revolving Credit Facility requires Express Holding and its subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0:1.0 if excess availability plus eligible cash collateral is less than 10% of the borrowing base for 15 consecutive days. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants and restrictions on Express Holding and its subsidiaries' activities, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; liens, negative pledges, guarantees, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers, acquisitions, and prepayment of other debt; distributions, dividends, and the repurchase of capital stock; transactions with affiliates; and the ability to change the nature of its business or its fiscal year. All obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by Express Holding and its domestic subsidiaries (that are not borrowers) and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Express Holding and its domestic subsidiaries.
	Senior Notes
	On March 5, 2010, Express, LLC and Express Finance Corp. ("Express Finance"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, co-issued, in a private placement, $250.0 million of 8 3/4% Senior Notes due in 2018 (the "Senior Notes") at an offering price of 98.6% of the face value.
	Prior to March 1, 2014, the Senior Notes may be redeemed in part or in full at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus a make-whole premium, calculated in accordance with the indenture governing the Senior Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest. On or after March 1, 2014, the Senior Notes may be redeemed in part or in full at the following percentages of the outstanding principal amount prepaid: 104.38% prior to March 1, 2015; 102.19% on or after March 1, 2015, but prior to March 1, 2016; and at the principal amount on or after March 1, 2016.
	The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of Express, LLC, Express Finance, and Express, LLC's restricted subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the incurrence of additional indebtedness; payment of dividends or distributions in respect of capital stock or certain other restricted payments or investments; entering into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; the sale or disposal of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; transactions with affiliates; the incurrence of liens; and mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of Express, LLC's assets. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if the Senior Notes are assigned an investment grade rating by both Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service and no default has occurred or is continuing. If either rating on the Senior Notes should subsequently decline to below investment grade, the suspended covenants will be reinstated.
	Fair Value of Debt
	The fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated using a number of factors, such as recent trade activity, size, timing, and yields of comparable bonds and is, therefore, within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of November 2, 2013, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $213.2 million.
	Letters of Credit
	The Company may enter into various trade letters of credit ("trade LCs") in favor of certain vendors to secure merchandise. These trade LCs are issued for a defined period of time, for specific shipments, and generally expire 3 weeks after the merchandise shipment date. As of November 2, 2013 and February 2, 2013, there were no outstanding trade LCs. Additionally, the Company enters into stand-by letters of credit ("stand-by LCs") on an as-needed basis to secure merchandise and fund other general and administrative costs. As of November 2, 2013 and February 2, 2013, outstanding stand-by LCs totaled $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	The Company records the fair value of share-based payments to employees in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period.
	Share-Based Compensation Plans
	The following summarizes our share-based compensation expense:
		Thirteen Weeks Ended							Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
		2-Nov-13				27-Oct-12			2-Nov-13			27-Oct-12
		(in thousands)
	Restricted stock units and restricted stock	$	3,044			$	1,318		$	9,353		$	6,104
	Stock options	2,135				2,032			6,662			6,089

	Total share-based compensation	$	5,179			$	3,351		$	16,016		$	12,207
	The stock compensation related income tax benefit recognized by the Company during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 was $1.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The stock compensation related income tax benefit recognized by the Company during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 was $0.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
	Stock Options
	During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013, the Company granted stock options under the Amended and Restated Express, Inc. 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2010 Plan"). The fair value of the stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model as described later in this note. The majority of stock options granted under the 2010 Plan vest 25% per year over four years and have a 10 year contractual life; however, those granted to the Chief Executive Officer vest ratably over three years. The expense for stock options is recognized using the straight-line attribution method.
	The Company's activity with respect to stock options during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 was as follows:
		Number of			Grant Date			Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
		Shares			Weighted Average
					Exercise Price Per Share
		(in thousands, except per share amounts and years)
	Outstanding, February 2, 2013	3,092			$	18.99
	Granted	670			$	17.89
	Exercised	(253	)		$	17.35
	Forfeited or expired	(198	)		$	19.35
	Outstanding, November 2, 2013	3,311			$	18.87		7.7		$	15,306
	Expected to vest at November 2, 2013	1,757			$	19.23		8.2		$	7,649
	Exercisable at November 2, 2013	1,502			$	18.44		7.1		$	7,437
	The following provides additional information regarding the Company's stock options:
		Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
		November 2, 2013				October 27, 2012
		(in thousands, except per share amounts)
	Weighted average grant date fair value of options granted (per share)	$	9.49			$	12.79
	Total intrinsic value of options exercised	$	904			$	267
	As of November 2, 2013, there was approximately $12.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years.
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value stock options granted to employees and directors. The Company's determination of the fair value of stock options is affected by the Company's stock price as well as a number of subjective and complex assumptions. These assumptions include the risk-free interest rate, the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, expected term of the award, and dividend yield.
	The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the stock options on the date of the grant:
		Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
		November 2, 2013			October 27, 2012
	Risk-free interest rate (1)	1.13	%		1.12	%
	Price Volatility (2)	55.9	%		55.9	%
	Expected term (years) (3)	6.2			6.17
	Dividend yield (4)	—			—
	-1	Represents the yield on U.S. Treasury securities with a term consistent with the expected term of the stock options.
	-2	For the first two years following the Company's IPO, this was based on the historical volatility of selected comparable companies over a period consistent with the expected term of the stock options because the Company had a limited history of being publicly traded. Comparable companies were selected primarily based on industry, stage of life cycle, and size. Beginning with the second anniversary of the IPO in May 2012, the Company began using its own volatility as an additional input in the determination of expected volatility.
	-3	Calculated utilizing the “simplified” methodology prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 due to the lack of historical exercise data necessary to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the term.
	-4	The Company does not currently plan on paying regular dividends.
	Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock
	During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2010 Plan, including 0.5 million RSUs with performance conditions. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the Company's stock price on the grant date. The expense for RSUs without performance conditions is recognized using the straight-line attribution method. The expense for RSUs with performance conditions is recognized using the graded vesting method based on the expected achievement of the performance conditions. The RSUs with performance conditions are also subject to time-based vesting with requisite service periods of 2 years for the Chief Executive Officer and 3 years for other employees. RSUs without performance conditions vest ratably over 4 years.
	The Company's activity with respect to RSUs and restricted stock for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 was as follows:
		Number of		Grant Date
		Shares		Weighted Average
				Fair Value Per Share
		(in thousands, except per share amounts)
	Unvested, February 2, 2013	1,218		$	20.65
	Granted	950		$	17.96
	Vested	(417	)	$	20.15
	Forfeited	(152	)	$	20.24
	Unvested, November 2, 2013	1,599		$	19.25
	The total fair value/intrinsic value of RSUs and restricted stock that vested was $8.4 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013. As of November 2, 2013, there was approximately $18.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and restricted stock which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years.

	Guarantor Subsidiaries
	On March 5, 2010, Express, LLC and Express Finance (the “Subsidiary Issuers”), both wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of Express, Inc., issued the Senior Notes. Express, Inc. (“Guarantor”) and certain of its indirect 100% owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, the obligations under the Senior Notes. The guarantees are not full and unconditional because Guarantor Subsidiaries can be released and relieved of their obligations under certain customary circumstances contained in the indenture governing the Senior Notes. These circumstances include the following, so long as other applicable provisions of the indenture are adhered to: any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor Subsidiary, any sale or other disposition of capital stock of any Guarantor Subsidiary, or designation of any restricted subsidiary that is a Guarantor Subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary. On August 26, 2012, Express, LLC contributed certain assets and liabilities to a newly created Guarantor Subsidiary. As a result, prior period condensed consolidating financial information has been revised to retroactively give effect to the new structure in place as of August 26, 2012.
	In the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012, as presented in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 4, 2013, and for the fifty-three weeks ended February 2, 2013, as presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013, income tax expense (benefit) was improperly presented for the Subsidiary Issuers and the Guarantor Subsidiaries by $38.9 million and $18.0 million, respectively. There was no impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, or Statements of Cash Flows. The corrected amounts are presented in the following tables:
		Subsidiary Issuers
		Thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012	Fifty-three weeks ended February 2, 2013
		(in thousands)
	(Income) loss in subsidiary	($12,131)	($52,195)
	Income (loss) before income taxes	$61,873	$197,019
	Income tax expense (benefit)	$19,530	$57,284
		Guarantor Subsidiaries
		Thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2012	Fifty-three weeks ended February 2, 2013
		(in thousands)
	Income tax expense (benefit)	$8,380	$35,649
	Net income (loss)	$12,368	$53,741
	In addition, the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2013, presented herein, has been revised to reflect the impact of the changes previously discussed. The corrections made are as follows:
		2-Feb-13
		Subsidiary Issuers	Guarantor Subsidiaries	Consolidating Adjustments
		(in thousands)
	Change to Investment in subsidiary	($17,987)	$—	$17,987
	Change to Total assets	($17,987)	$—	$17,987
	Change to Accrued expenses	($17,987)	$17,987	$—
	Change to Total liabilities	($17,987)	$17,987	$—
	Change to Total stockholders' equity	$—	($17,987)	$17,987
	In accordance with accounting guidance found in ASC 250-10, the Company assessed the materiality of the errors and concluded they were not material to the Company's previously issued financial statements. As a result, the Company will revise the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Income for the fifty-three week period ended February 2, 2013 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2014.
	The following consolidating schedules present the condensed financial information on a combined basis.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting, Policy	'
	Segment Reporting
	The Company defines an operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate performance internally. The Company has determined that, together, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Operating Officer are the Chief Operating Decision Maker and that there is one operating segment. Therefore, the Company reports results as a single segment, which includes the operation of its Express brick-and-mortar retail stores, e-commerce operations, and franchise operations.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]	'
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy	'
	During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2010 Plan, including 0.5 million RSUs with performance conditions. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the Company's stock price on the grant date. The expense for RSUs without performance conditions is recognized using the straight-line attribution method. The expense for RSUs with performance conditions is recognized using the graded vesting method
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to value stock options granted to employees and directors. The Company's determination of the fair value of stock options is affected by the Company's stock price as well as a number of subjective and complex assumptions. These assumptions include the risk-free interest rate, the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, expected term of the award, and dividend yield.
	The Company records the fair value of share-based payments to employees in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as compensation expense, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period.

	Expected term (years) (3)	6.2			6.17
	Dividend yield (4)	—			—
	-1	Represents the yield on U.S. Treasury securities with a term consistent with the expected term of the stock options.
	-2	For the first two years following the Company's IPO, this was based on the historical volatility of selected comparable companies over a period consistent with the expected term of the stock options because the Company had a limited history of being publicly traded. Comparable companies were selected primarily based on industry, stage of life cycle, and size. Beginning with the second anniversary of the IPO in May 2012, the Company began using its own volatility as an additional input in the determination of expected volatility.
	-3	Calculated utilizing the “simplified” methodology prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 due to the lack of historical exercise data necessary to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the term.
	-4	The Company does not currently plan on paying regular dividends.

[1]	Represents the yield on U.S. Treasury securities with a term consistent with the expected term of the stock options.
[2]	For the first two years following the Company's IPO, this was based on the historical volatility of selected comparable companies over a period consistent with the expected term of the stock options because the Company had a limited history of being publicly traded. Comparable companies were selected primarily based on industry, stage of life cycle, and size. Beginning with the second anniversary of the IPO in May 2012, the Company began using its own volatility as an additional input in the determination of expected volatility.
[3]	Calculated utilizing the “simplified” methodology prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 due to the lack of historical exercise data necessary to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the term.
[4]	The Company does not currently plan on paying regular dividends.
