References to the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020 refer to the thirteen weeks from August 1, 2021 to October 30, 2021 and from August 2, 2020 to October 31, 2020, respectively.

References to “2020” refer to the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021 and references to “2021” refer to the fiscal year ending January 29, 2022. Both periods consist of 52 weeks . (c) Basis of Presentation T he accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which management believes are necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows for all periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of income and stockholders’ equity for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020 have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. The Company’s business is seasonal in nature and results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for 2021 or any other period. All intercompany accounts, transactions, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s balance sheet as of January 30, 2021 , presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021 (“Annual Report”), but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for 2020 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report . For purposes of the disclosure requirements for segments of a business enterprise, it has been determined that the Company is comprised of one operating segment. (d) Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (e) Fair Value Disclosures Fair value is defined as the price which the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy used in measuring fair value, as follows: ● Level 1 inputs are quoted prices available for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. ● Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs which are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. ● Level 3 inputs are less observable and reflect the Company’s assumptions. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and its credit facilities. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s credit facilities approximates its fair value because the interest rates are adjusted regularly based on current market conditions. (f) I The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies. The outbreak of COVID-19 and related measures to quell the outbreak have impacted the Company’s inventory supply chain, operations and customer demand. The Company is continuing to experience labor pressures in its stores and distribution centers as well as supply chain disruptions due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and related measures. |
