Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant areas requiring management estimates or judgments include the following key financial areas:

Inventory Valuation

The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost or market.

In its footwear wholesale operations, its Schuh Group segment and its Lids Sports Group wholesale operations, except for the Anaconda Sports wholesale division, cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Market value is determined using a system of analysis which evaluates inventory at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, inventory level, and selling prices reflected in future orders. The Company provides reserves when the inventory has not been marked down to market value based on current selling prices or when the inventory is not turning and is not expected to turn at levels satisfactory to the Company.

The Lids Sports Group retail segment and its Anaconda Sports wholesale division employ the moving average cost method for valuing inventories and apply freight using an allocation method.

The Company provides a valuation allowance for slow-moving inventory based on negative margins and estimated shrink based on historical experience and specific analysis, where appropriate.

In its retail operations, other than the Schuh Group and Lids Sports Group retail segments, the Company employs the retail inventory method, applying average cost-to-retail ratios to the retail value of inventories. Under the retail inventory method, valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market is achieved as markdowns are taken or accrued as a reduction of the retail value of inventories.

Inherent in the retail inventory method are subjective judgments and estimates, including merchandise mark-on, markups, markdowns, and shrinkage. These judgments and estimates, coupled with the fact that the retail inventory method is an averaging process, could produce a range of cost figures. To reduce the risk of inaccuracy and to ensure consistent presentation, the Company employs the retail inventory method in multiple subclasses of inventory with similar gross margins, and analyzes markdown requirements at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, and inventory age. In addition, the Company accrues markdowns as necessary. These additional markdown accruals reflect all of the above factors as well as current agreements to return products to vendors and vendor agreements to provide markdown support. In addition to markdown provisions, the Company maintains provisions for shrinkage and damaged goods based on historical rates.

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Inherent in the analysis of both wholesale and retail inventory valuation are subjective judgments about current market conditions, fashion trends, and overall economic conditions. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these factors may result in an overstatement or understatement of inventory value.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically assesses the realizability of its long-lived assets and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying amount. Inherent in the analysis of impairment are subjective judgments about future cash flows. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these judgments may result in an overstatement or understatement of the value of long-lived assets. See also Notes 3 and 5.

The goodwill impairment test involves performing a qualitative assessment, on a reporting unit level, based on current circumstances. If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, a two-step impairment test will not be performed. However, if the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a two-step impairment test is performed. Alternatively, the Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the two-step impairment test, on a reporting unit level. The first step is a comparison of the fair value and carrying value of the business unit with which the goodwill is associated. The Company estimates fair value using the best information available, and computes the fair value derived by an income approach utilizing discounted cash flow projections. The income approach uses a projection of a reporting unit’s estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions. A key assumption in the Company’s fair value estimate is the weighted average cost of capital utilized for discounting its cash flow projections in its income approach. The Company believes the rate it used in its latest annual test, which was completed in the fourth quarter, was consistent with the risks inherent in its business and with industry discount rates. The projection uses management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures.

Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements.

If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting

unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination.

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Specifically, the Company would allocate the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company would record an impairment charge for the difference.

Environmental and Other Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings and other legal matters. The Company has made pretax accruals for certain of these contingencies, including approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. These charges are included in provision for discontinued operations, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations because they relate to former facilities operated by the Company. The Company monitors these matters on an ongoing basis and, on a quarterly basis, management reviews the Company’s reserves and accruals, adjusting provisions as management deems necessary in view of changes in available information. Changes in estimates of liability are reported in the periods when they occur. Consequently, management believes that its reserve in relation to each proceeding is a best estimate of probable loss connected to the proceeding, or in cases in which no best estimate is possible, the minimum amount in the range of estimated losses, based upon its analysis of the facts and circumstances as of the close of the most recent fiscal quarter. However, because of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation generally and in environmental proceedings in particular, there can be no assurance that future developments will not require additional reserves, that some or all reserves will be adequate or that the amounts of any such additional reserves or any such inadequacy will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. See also Notes 3 and 9.

Revenue Recognition

Retail sales are recorded at the point of sale and are net of estimated returns and exclude sales and value added taxes. Catalog and internet sales are recorded at estimated time of delivery to the customer and are net of estimated returns and exclude sales and value added taxes. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimated returns and allowances for markdowns, damages and miscellaneous claims when the related goods have been shipped and legal title has passed to the customer. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in net sales. Estimated returns are based on historical returns and claims. Actual amounts of markdowns have not differed materially from estimates. Actual returns and claims in any future period may differ from historical experience.

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax obligations together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes, such as depreciation of property and equipment and valuation of inventories. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company then assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. Actual results could differ from this assessment if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. To the extent the Company believes that recovery of an asset is at risk, valuation allowances are established. To the extent valuation allowances are established or increased in a period, the Company includes an expense within the tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These deferred tax valuation allowances may be released in future years when management considers that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, management will need to periodically evaluate whether or not all available evidence, such as future taxable income and reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and recent results of operations, provides sufficient positive evidence to offset any potential negative evidence that may exist at such time. In the event the deferred tax valuation allowance is released, the Company would record an income tax benefit for the portion or all of the deferred tax valuation allowance released. At May 4, 2013, the Company had a deferred tax valuation allowance of $3.5 million.

Income tax reserves for certain tax positions are determined using the methodology required by the Income Tax Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification"). This methodology requires companies to assess each income tax position taken using a two step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, based upon the technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded for the tax position equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the respective tax position. Uncertain tax positions require determinations and estimated liabilities to be made based on provisions of the tax law which may be subject to change or varying interpretation. If the Company’s determinations and estimates prove to be inaccurate, the resulting adjustments could be material to its future financial results.

The Company recorded an effective income tax rate of 40.8% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 compared to 40.4% for the same period last year.

Postretirement Benefits Plan Accounting

Full-time employees who had at least 1,000 hours of service in calendar year 2004, except employees in the Lids Sports Group and Schuh Group segments, are covered by a defined benefit pension plan. The Company froze the defined benefit pension plan effective January 1, 2005. The Company also provides certain former employees with limited medical and life insurance benefits. The Company funds at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

As required by the Compensation – Retirement Benefits Topic of the Codification, the Company is required to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the year in which the changes occur.

The Company accounts for the defined benefit pension plans using the Compensation-Retirement Benefits Topic of the Codification. As permitted under this topic, pension expense is recognized on an accrual basis over employees’ approximate service periods. The calculation of pension expense and the corresponding liability requires the use of a number of critical assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the assumed discount rate, as well as the recognition of actuarial gains and losses. Changes in these assumptions can result in different expense and liability amounts, and future actual experience can differ from these assumptions.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has share-based compensation plans covering certain members of management and non-employee directors. The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards as required by the Compensation – Stock Compensation Topic of the Codification. There was no share-based compensation expense related to stock options for the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 or 2013. The Company has not issued any new stock option awards since the first quarter of Fiscal 2008. For the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and 2013, restricted stock expense was $2.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The fair value of employee restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense are reported as a financing cash flow.

There were no employee restricted stock grants during the three months ended May 4, 2013 or April 28, 2012. An outside director can elect irrevocably to receive all or a specified portion of his annual retainers for board membership and any committee chairmanship for the following fiscal year in a number of shares of restricted stock (the "Retainer Stock"). Shares of the Retainer Stock are granted as of the first business day of the fiscal year as to which the election is effective, subject to forfeiture to the extent not earned upon the outside director's ceasing to serve as a director or committee chairman during such fiscal year. During the three months ended May 4, 2013, the Company issued 4,790 shares of Retainer Stock at a grant date fair value of $59.53per share which vest over one year. The Company did not issue any Retainer Stock for the three

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

months ended April 28, 2012. The Company issued zero and 336 shares of director stock for the three months ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Included in cash and cash equivalents at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and April 28, 2012 are cash equivalents of $0.0 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Cash equivalents are highly-liquid financial instruments having an original maturity of three months or less. At May 4, 2013, substantially all of the Company’s domestic cash was invested in deposit accounts at FDIC-insured banks. The majority of payments due from banks for domestic customer credit card transactions process within 24 - 48 hours and are accordingly classified as cash and cash equivalents.

At May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and April 28, 2012, outstanding checks drawn on zero-balance accounts at certain domestic banks exceeded book cash balances at those banks by approximately $17.8 million, $36.1 million and $44.6 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accounts payable.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Allowances on Accounts Receivable

The Company’s footwear wholesale businesses sell primarily to independent retailers and department stores across the United States. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized. Customer credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry as well as by customer specific factors. The Company’s Lids Team Sports wholesale business sells primarily to colleges and high school athletic teams and their fan bases. Including both footwear wholesale and Lids Team Sports wholesale business receivables, one customer accounted for 8% and another customer accounted for 7% of the Company’s total trade receivables balance, while no other customer accounted for more than 4% of the Company’s total trade receivables balance as of May 4, 2013.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information, as well as customer specific factors. The Company also establishes allowances for sales returns, customer deductions and co-op advertising based on specific circumstances, historical trends and projected probable outcomes.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over the estimated useful life of related assets. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings and building equipment	20-45 years
Computer hardware, software and equipment	3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures	10 years

15

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Leases

Leasehold improvements and properties under capital leases are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or their related lease terms and the charge to earnings is included in selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Certain leases include rent increases during the initial lease term. For these leases, the Company recognizes the related rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (which

includes any rent holidays and the pre-opening period of construction, renovation, fixturing and merchandise placement) and records the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts paid as deferred rent.

The Company occasionally receives reimbursements from landlords to be used towards construction of the store the Company intends to lease. Leasehold improvements are recorded at their gross costs including items reimbursed by landlords. The reimbursements are amortized as a reduction

of rent expense over the initial lease term. Tenant allowances of $20.0 million, $20.0 million and $18.0 million at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively, and deferred rent of $38.4 million, $37.9 million and $36.2 million at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively, are included in deferred rent and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Under the provisions of the Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Topic of the Codification, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested at least annually, during the fourth quarter, for impairment. The Company will update the tests between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the business unit with which the goodwill is associated below its carrying amount. It is also required that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their respective lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification.

Intangible assets of the Company with indefinite lives are primarily goodwill and identifiable trademarks, net of amortization, acquired in connection with the acquisition of Schuh Group Ltd. in June 2011 and Hat World Corporation in April 2004. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include goodwill of $172.3 million for the Lids Sports Group, $99.0 million for the Schuh Group and $0.8 million for Licensed Brands at May 4, 2013, $172.3 million for the Lids Sports Group, $100.7 million for the Schuh Group and $0.8 million for Licensed Brands at February 2, 2013 and $159.1 million for the Lids Sports Group, $103.2 million for the Schuh Group and $0.8 million for Licensed Brands at April 28, 2012. The Company tests for impairment of intangible assets with an indefinite life, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, projected future cash flows and observable market data. The impairment test for identifiable assets not subject to amortization consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. The Company has not had an impairment charge for intangible assets.

16

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

In connection with acquisitions, the Company records goodwill on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This asset is not amortized but is subject to an impairment test at least annually, based on projected future cash flows from the acquired business discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk the Company considers to be inherent in its current business model. The Company performs the impairment test annually as of the close of its fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the value of the asset might be impaired.

As a result of the various acquisitions comprising the Lids Team Sports team dealer business, the Company carries goodwill related to such acquisitions at a value of $14.0 million on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company found that the result of its annual impairment test in January 2013, which valued the business at approximately $2.8 million in excess of its carrying value, indicated no impairment at that time. The Company may determine in future impairment tests that some or all of the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable. Such a finding would require a write-off of the amount of the carrying value that is impaired, which would reduce the Company's profitability in the period of the impairment charge. Holding all other assumptions constant as of the measurement date, the Company noted that an increase in the weighted average cost of capital of 100 basis points would reduce the fair value of the Lids Team Sports business by $7.4 million. Furthermore, the Company noted that a decrease in projected annual revenue growth by one percent would reduce the fair value of the Lids Team Sports business by $0.4 million. However, if other assumptions do not remain constant, the fair value of the Lids Team Sports business may decrease by a greater amount.

Identifiable intangible assets of the Company with finite lives are trademarks, customer lists, in-place leases, non-compete agreements and a vendor contract. They are subject to amortization based upon their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate other definite-lived long-lived assets, a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at May 4, 2013 and February 2, 2013 are:

Fair Values
In thousands	May 4, 2013				February 2, 2013
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
U.S. Revolver Borrowings	$	32,100	$	32,587	$	27,700	$	27,742
UK Term Loans	21,221		21,339		22,982		22,982

Debt fair values were determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments and would be classified in Level 2 as defined in Note 5.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Carrying amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Cost of Sales

For the Company’s retail operations, the cost of sales includes actual product cost, the cost of transportation to the Company’s warehouses from suppliers and the cost of transportation from the Company’s warehouses to the stores. Additionally, the cost of its distribution facilities allocated to its retail operations is included in cost of sales.

For the Company’s wholesale operations, the cost of sales includes the actual product cost and the cost of transportation to the Company’s warehouses from suppliers.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses include all operating costs of the Company excluding (i) those related to the transportation of products from the supplier to the warehouse, (ii) for its retail operations, those related to the transportation of products from the warehouse to the store and (iii) costs of its distribution facilities which are allocated to its retail operations. Wholesale and unallocated retail costs of distribution are included in selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the amounts of $2.0 million for each of the first quarters of Fiscal 2014 and 2013.

Gift Cards

The Company has a gift card program that began in calendar year 1999 for its Lids Sports operations and calendar year 2000 for its footwear operations. The gift cards issued to date do not expire. As such, the Company recognizes income when: (i) the gift card is redeemed by the customer; or (ii) the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer for the purchase of goods in the future is remote and there are no related escheat laws (referred to as “breakage”). The gift card breakage

rate is based upon historical redemption patterns and income is recognized for unredeemed gift cards in proportion to those historical redemption patterns.

Gift card breakage is recognized in revenues each period for which financial statements are updated. Gift card breakage recognized as revenue was $(0.1) million and $0.1 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include an accrued liability for gift cards of $11.8 million, $13.1 million and $9.2 million at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively.

Buying, Merchandising and Occupancy Costs

The Company records buying, merchandising and occupancy costs in selling and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because the Company does not include these costs in cost of sales, the Company’s gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers that include these costs in the calculation of gross margin.

18

Genesco Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs related to inventory purchased from suppliers are included in the cost of inventory and are charged to cost of sales in the period that the inventory is sold. All other shipping and handling costs are charged to cost of sales in the period incurred except for wholesale and unallocated retail costs of distribution, which are included in selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Preopening Costs

Costs associated with the opening of new stores are expensed as incurred, and are included in selling and administrative expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Store Closings and Exit Costs

From time to time, the Company makes strategic decisions to close stores or exit locations or activities. If stores or operating activities to be closed or exited constitute components, as defined by the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification, and will not result in a migration of customers and cash flows, these closures will be considered discontinued operations when the related assets meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, or at the cease-use date, whichever occurs first. The results of operations of discontinued operations are presented retroactively, net of tax, as a separate component on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, if material individually or cumulatively. To date, in Fiscal 2014, no store closings meeting the discontinued operations criteria have been material individually or cumulatively.

Assets related to planned store closures or other exit activities are reflected as assets held for sale and recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell when the required criteria, as defined by the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification, are satisfied. Depreciation ceases on the date that the held for sale criteria are met.

Assets related to planned store closures or other exit activities that do not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale are evaluated for impairment in accordance with the Company’s normal impairment policy, but with consideration given to revised estimates of future cash flows. In any event, the remaining depreciable useful lives are evaluated and adjusted as necessary.

Exit costs related to anticipated lease termination costs, severance benefits and other expected charges are accrued for and recognized in accordance with the Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations Topic of the Codification.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are predominantly expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $12.7 million and $10.7 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Direct response advertising costs for catalogs are capitalized in accordance with the Other Assets and Deferred Costs Topic for Capitalized Advertising Costs of the Codification. Such costs are amortized over the estimated future period as revenues are realized from such advertising, not to exceed six months.

19

Genesco Inc.

and Consolidated Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include prepaid assets for direct response advertising costs of $1.7 million, $1.4 million and $1.6 million at May 4, 2013, February 2, 2013 and April 28, 2012, respectively.

Consideration to Resellers

The Company does not have any written buy-down programs with retailers, but the Company has provided certain retailers with markdown allowances for obsolete and slow moving products that are in the retailer’s inventory. The Company estimates these allowances and provides for them as reductions to revenues at the time revenues are recorded. Markdowns are negotiated with retailers and changes are made to the estimates as agreements are reached. Actual amounts for markdowns have not differed materially from estimates.

Cooperative Advertising

Cooperative advertising funds are made available to most of the Company’s wholesale footwear customers. In order for retailers to receive reimbursement under such programs, the retailer must meet specified advertising guidelines and provide appropriate documentation of expenses to be reimbursed. The Company’s cooperative advertising agreements require that wholesale customers present documentation or other evidence of specific advertisements or display materials used for the Company’s products by submitting the actual print advertisements presented in catalogs, newspaper inserts or other advertising circulars, or by permitting physical inspection of displays. Additionally, the Company’s cooperative advertising agreements require that the amount of reimbursement requested for such advertising or materials be supported by invoices or other evidence of the actual costs incurred by the retailer. The Company accounts for these cooperative advertising costs as selling and administrative expenses, in accordance with the Revenue Recognition Topic for Customer Payments and Incentives of the Codification.

Cooperative advertising costs recognized in selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were $1.0 million for each of the first quarters of Fiscal 2014 and 2013. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company’s cooperative advertising reimbursements paid did not exceed the fair value of the benefits received under those agreements.

Vendor Allowances

From time to time, the Company negotiates allowances from its vendors for markdowns taken or expected to be taken. These markdowns are typically negotiated on specific merchandise and for specific amounts. These specific allowances are recognized as a reduction in cost of sales in the

period in which the markdowns are taken. Markdown allowances not attached to specific inventory on hand or already sold are applied to concurrent or future purchases from each respective vendor.

The Company receives support from some of its vendors in the form of reimbursements for cooperative advertising and catalog costs for the launch and promotion of certain products. The reimbursements are agreed upon with vendors and represent specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred by the Company in selling the vendor’s specific products. Such costs and the related reimbursements are accumulated and monitored on an individual vendor basis, pursuant to the respective cooperative advertising agreements with vendors. Such cooperative advertising

20

Genesco Inc.

and Consolidated Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses in the same period in which the associated expense is incurred. If the amount of cash consideration received exceeds the costs being reimbursed, such excess amount would be recorded as a reduction of cost of sales.

Vendor reimbursements of cooperative advertising costs recognized as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses were $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company’s cooperative advertising reimbursements received were not in excess of the costs incurred.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated and are evaluated independently of any future claims for recovery. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitment to a formal plan of action. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock (see Note 8).

Other Comprehensive Income

The Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification requires, among other things, the Company’s pension liability adjustment, postretirement liability adjustment and foreign currency translation adjustments to be included in other comprehensive income net of tax. Accumulated other comprehensive loss at May 4, 2013 consisted of $25.0 million of cumulative pension liability adjustments, net of tax, a cumulative post retirement liability adjustment of $0.3 million, net of tax, and a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $4.3 million.

Business Segments

The Segment Reporting Topic of the Codification requires that companies disclose “operating segments” based on the way management disaggregates the Company’s operations for making internal operating decisions (see Note 10).

New Accounting Principles

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“AOCI”), which sets forth additional disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income, and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 by presenting amounts reclassified out of AOCI as a separate disclosure in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Amounts reclassified out of AOCI were related to amortization of net actuarial loss associated with the Company's pension and postretirement plans.

Asset Impairments and Other Charges and Discontinued Operations

Asset Impairments and Other Charges

In accordance with Company policy, assets are determined to be impaired when the revised estimated future cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying costs. Impairment charges represent the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of those assets.

Asset impairment charges are reflected as a reduction of the net carrying value of property and equipment, and in asset impairments and other, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $1.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, including $1.2 million for retail store asset impairments and $0.1 million for network intrusion expenses. The Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $0.1 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, primarily associated with the network intrusion.

Fair Value

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Topic defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value, Continued

The following table presents the Company’s assets (which excludes the Company's pension plan assets) and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of May 4, 2013 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

	Long-Lived Assets Held and Used		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Losses
Measured as of May 4, 2013	$	191	$	—	$	—	$	191	$	1,208

In accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification, the Company recorded $1.2 million of impairment charges as a result of the fair value measurement of its long-lived assets held and used on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended May 4, 2013. These charges are reflected in asset impairments and other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of these long-lived assets. Discount rate and growth rate assumptions are derived from current economic conditions, expectations of management and projected trends of current operating results. As a result, the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its long-lived assets held and used are unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Subordinated Serial Preferred Stock (Cumulative):

The Company issued a notice of mandatory redemption effective April 30, 2013, to its holders of Subordinated Serial Preferred Stock $2.30 Series 1, $4.75 Series 3 and $4.75 Series 4 during the first quarter of Fiscal 2014. The Series 1 preferred stock was redeemed at $40 per share plus accumulated dividends. For the three months ended May 4, 2013, 13,713 shares of Series 1 preferred stock were converted to common stock and 2,490 shares of Series 1 preferred stock were redeemed. The Series 3 and 4 preferred stocks were redeemed at $100 per share plus accumulated dividends. For the three months ended May 4, 2013, 6,046 shares of Series 3 preferred stock were converted to common stock and 1,352 shares of Series 3 preferred stock were redeemed. For the three months ended May 4, 2013, 3,247 shares of Series 4 preferred stock were redeemed. The total cost of the redemption for Series 1, 3 and 4 preferred stock was $0.6 million.

The Company’s shareholders’ rights plan grants to common shareholders the right to purchase, at a specified exercise price, a fraction of a share of subordinated serial preferred stock, Series 6, in the event of an acquisition of, or an announced tender offer for, 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Upon any such event, each right also entitles the holder (other than the person making such acquisition or tender offer) to purchase, at the exercise price, shares of common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price. In the event the Company is acquired in a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, each right would entitle its holder to purchase, at the exercise price, shares of the acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price. The rights expire in March 2020, are redeemable under certain circumstances for $0.01 per right and are subject to exchange for one share of common stock or an equivalent amount of preferred stock at any time after the event which makes the rights exercisable and before a majority of the Company’s common stock is acquired.

(1) As a result of the Company issuing a notice of mandatory redemption to the holders of Series 1, 3 and 4 preferred stock in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, there were no remaining convertible preferred stock of that series outstanding as of May 4, 2013. Therefore, convertible preferred stocks were not included in diluted earnings per share for the three months ended May 4, 2013. The amount of the dividend on the convertible preferred stock per common share obtainable on conversion of the convertible preferred stock was less than basic earnings per share for Series 1, 3 and 4 preferred stocks for the three months ended April 28, 2012. Therefore, conversion of these convertible preferred stocks was included in diluted earnings per share for the three months ended April 28, 2012.

(2) The Company's Employees' Subordinated Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible one for one to the Company's common stock. Because no dividends are paid on this stock, these shares are assumed to be converted in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the first quarters ended May 4, 2013 and April 28, 2012.

The Company repurchased 189,300 shares of common stock during the three months ended May 4, 2013 for $11.2 million of which $2.6 million was not paid in the first quarter but included in other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has $47.0 million remaining under its current $75.0 million share repurchase authorization. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended April 28, 2012.

Legal Proceedings

Environmental Matters

New York State Environmental Matters

In August 1997, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”) and the Company entered into a consent order whereby the Company assumed responsibility for conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility study (“RIFS”) and implementing an interim remedial measure (“IRM”) with regard to the site of a knitting mill operated by a former subsidiary of the Company from 1965 to 1969. The Company undertook the IRM and RIFS voluntarily, without admitting liability or accepting responsibility for any future remediation of the site. The Company has completed the IRM and the RIFS. In the course of preparing the RIFS, the Company identified remedial alternatives with estimated undiscounted costs ranging from $0 million to $24.0 million, excluding amounts previously expended or provided for by the Company. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), which has assumed primary regulatory responsibility for the site from NYSDEC, issued a Record of Decision in September 2007. The Record of Decision requires a remedy of a combination of groundwater extraction and treatment and in-site chemical oxidation at an estimated present cost of approximately $10.7 million.

In July 2009, the Company agreed to a Consent Order with the EPA requiring the Company to perform certain remediation actions, operations, maintenance and monitoring at the site. In September 2009, a Consent Judgment embodying the Consent Order was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

The Village of Garden City, New York (the "Village"), has additionally asserted that the Company is liable for the costs associated with enhanced treatment required by the impact of the groundwater plume from the site on two public water supply wells, including historical costs ranging from approximately $1.8 million to in excess of $2.5 million, and future operation and maintenance costs which the Village estimates at $126,400 annually while the enhanced treatment continues. On December 14, 2007, the Village filed a complaint against the Company and the owner of the property under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) as well as a number of state law theories in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, seeking an injunction requiring the defendants to remediate contamination from the site and to establish their liability for future costs that may be incurred in connection with it, which the complaint alleges could exceed $41 million, undiscounted, over a 70-year period.

The Company has not verified the estimates of either historic or future costs asserted by the Village, but believes that an estimate of future costs based on a 70-year remediation period is unreasonable given the expected remedial period reflected in the EPA's Record of Decision. On May 23, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Village's complaint on grounds including applicable statutes of limitation and preemption of certain claims by the NYSDEC's and the EPA's diligent prosecution of remediation. On January 27, 2009, the Court granted the motion to dismiss all counts of the plaintiff's complaint except for the CERCLA claim and a state law claim for indemnity for costs incurred after November 27, 2000. On September 23, 2009, on a motion for reconsideration by the Village, the Court reinstated the claims for injunctive relief under RCRA and for equitable relief under certain of the state law theories. The Company intends to continue to defend the action if an acceptable settlement agreement cannot be reached.

Whitehall Environmental Matters

The Company has performed sampling and analysis of soil, sediments, surface water, groundwater and waste management areas at the Company's former Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan.

In October 2010, the Company and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment entered into a Consent Decree providing for implementation of a remedial Work Plan for the facility site designed to bring the site into compliance with applicable regulatory standards. The Work Plan's implementation is substantially complete and the Company expects, based on its present understanding of the condition of the site, that its future obligations with respect to the site will be limited to periodic monitoring and that future costs related to the site should not have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Accrual for Environmental Contingencies

Related to all outstanding environmental contingencies, the Company had accrued $11.9 million as of May 4, 2013, $11.9 million as of February 2, 2013 and $12.5 million as of April 28, 2012. All such provisions reflect the Company's estimates of the most likely cost (undiscounted, including both current and noncurrent portions) of resolving the contingencies, based on facts and circumstances as of the time they were made. There is no assurance that relevant facts and circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the provisions. Such contingent liabilities are included in the liability arising from provision for discontinued operations on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because it relates to former facilities operated by the Company. The Company has made pretax accruals for certain of these contingencies, including approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million reflected in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. These charges are included in provision for discontinued operations, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and represent changes in estimates.

Other Matters

On December 10, 2010, the Company announced that it had suffered a criminal intrusion into the portion of its computer network that processes payments for transactions in certain of its retail stores. Visa, Inc., MasterCard Worldwide and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. asserted claims totaling approximately $15.6 million in connection with the intrusion and the claims of two of the claimants have been collected by withholding payment card receivables of the Company. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a $15.4 million charge to earnings in connection with the disputed liability. On March 7, 2013, the Company filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against Visa U.S.A. Inc., Visa Inc. and Visa International Service Association seeking to recover $13.3 million in non-compliance fines and issuer reimbursement assessments collected from the Company in connection with the intrusion. The Company does not currently expect any future claims in connection with the intrusion to have a material effect on its financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

On January 5, 2012, a patent infringement action against the Company and numerous other defendants was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, GeoTag, Inc. v. Circle K Store, Inc., et al., alleging that features of certain of the Company's e-commerce websites infringe U.S. Patent No. 5,930,474, entitled “Internet Organizer for Accessing Geographically and Topically Based Information.” The plaintiff seeks relief including damages for the alleged infringement, costs, expenses and pre- and post-judgment interest and injunctive relief. The Company disputes the validity of the claim and is defending the matter.

Legal Proceedings, Continued

On June 13, 2012, a former vendor of a subsidiary of the Company filed an action, Perfect Curve, Inc. v. Hat World, Inc., in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, alleging patent, trademark, trade dress, and copyright infringement against the subsidiary based on the sale of a line of products developed by the subsidiary. The Company denies the material allegations against it and is defending the action.

On May 14, 2012, a putative class and collective action, Maro v. Hat World, Inc., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The action alleges that the Company failed to pay the plaintiff and other, similarly situated retail store employees of Hat World, Inc., for time spent making bank deposits of store collections, and seeks to recover unpaid wages, liquidated damages, statutory penalties, attorneys fees, and costs pursuant to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the Illinois Minimum Wage Law and the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act. On July 16, 2012 and July 30, 2012, additional putative class and collective actions, Chavez v. Hat World, Inc. and Dismukes v. Hat World, Inc., were filed in the same court, alleging that certain Hat World employees were misclassified as exempt from overtime pay, and seeking similar relief. The Chavez and Dismukes actions have been consolidated. The Company disputes the material allegations in the consolidated action and in Maro and is defending the actions.

On August 30, 2012, a former employee of a Company subsidiary filed a putative class and collective action, Kershner v. Hat World, Inc., in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas alleging violations of the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act by the subsidiary. The Company is defending the matter.

On May 23, 2013, a former employee of the Company filed an action, Everett v. Genesco Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, seeking designation as a collective action and the award of allegedly unpaid minimum wages, overtime pay, liquidated damages, penalties, interest, attorneys' fees, and other relief. The Company disputes the material allegations in the action and intends to defend it.

In addition to the matters specifically described in this Note, the Company is a party to other legal and regulatory proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. While management does not believe that the Company's liability with respect to any of these other matters is likely to have a material effect on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business and results of operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

This discussion and the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include certain forward-looking statements, including those regarding the performance outlook for the Company and its individual businesses and all other statements not addressing solely historical facts or present conditions. Words such as "may," "will," "should," "likely," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "believe," "estimate" and similar expressions can be used to identify these forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements in this discussion, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and in other disclosures, including those regarding the Company's performance outlook for Fiscal 2014 and beyond.

A number of factors may adversely affect the outlook reflected in forward looking statements and the Company's future results, liquidity, capital resources and prospects. These factors (some of which are beyond the Company's control) include:

• Adjustments to estimates reflected in forward-looking statements, including the amount of required accruals related to the earn-out bonus potentially payable to Schuh management based on the achievement of certain performance objectives.

• The timing and amount of non-cash asset impairments related to retail store fixed assets or to intangible assets of acquired businesses.

• Weakness in the consumer economy.

• Competition in the Company's markets.

• Inability of customers to obtain credit.

• Fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company's retail product offerings.

• Changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers.

• Bankruptcies or deterioration in the financial condition of significant wholesale customers, limiting their ability to buy or pay for merchandise offered by the Company.

• Disruptions in product supply or distribution.

• Unfavorable trends in fuel costs, foreign exchange rates, foreign labor and material costs and other factors affecting the cost of products.

The Journeys retail footwear stores sell footwear and accessories primarily for 13 to 22 year old men and women. The stores average approximately 1,975 square feet. The Journeys Kidz retail footwear stores sell footwear primarily for younger children, ages five to 12. These stores average approximately 1,425 square feet. Shi by Journeys retail footwear stores sell footwear and accessories to fashion-conscious women in their early 20's to mid 30's. These stores average approximately 2,125 square feet. The Underground by Journeys retail footwear stores sell footwear and accessories primarily for men and women in the 20 to 35 age group. These stores average approximately 1,825 square feet. The Journeys Group stores are primarily in malls and factory outlet centers throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. Journeys also sells footwear and accessories through direct-to-consumer catalog and e-commerce operations.

The Schuh retail footwear stores sell a broad range of branded casual and athletic footwear along with a meaningful private label offering primarily for 15 to 30 year old men and women. The stores, which average approximately 4,300 square feet, include both street-level and mall locations in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2013, the Schuh Group opened its first Schuh Kids store. As of May 4, 2013, the Company has opened three Schuh Kids stores that sell footwear primarily for younger children, ages five to 12, and average 1,075 square feet.

The Lids Sports Group includes stores and kiosks, primarily under the Lids banner, that sell licensed and branded headwear to men and women primarily in the early-teens to mid-20's age group. The Lids store locations average approximately 875 square feet and are primarily in malls, airports, street-level stores and factory outlet centers throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada.

Johnston & Murphy shops average approximately 1,525 square feet and are located primarily in better malls and in airports throughout the United States. Johnston & Murphy opened its first store in Canada during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012. As of May 4, 2013, Johnston & Murphy operates five stores in Canada. The Company also has license and distribution agreements for wholesale and retail sales of Johnston & Murphy products in various non - U.S. jurisdictions. The Company also sells Johnston & Murphy footwear and accessories in factory stores, averaging approximately 2,350 square feet, located in factory outlet malls, and through an e-commerce operation and a direct-to-consumer catalog.

The Licensed Brands segment markets casual and dress casual footwear under the licensed Dockers^® brand to men aged 30 to 55 through many of the same national retail chains that carry Dockers slacks and sportswear and in department and specialty stores across the country. The Company entered into an exclusive license with Levi Strauss & Co. to market men's footwear in the United States under the Dockers brand name in 1991. Levi Strauss & Co. and the Company have subsequently added additional territories, including Canada and Mexico and certain other Latin American countries. The Dockers license agreement was renewed July 23, 2012 for a term expiring November 30, 2015, subject to extension for an additional 3-year term if certain conditions are met. The Company acquired Keuka Footwear in the third quarter of Fiscal 2011 and subsequently launched its SureGrip^® Footwear line of slip-resistant, occupational footwear from that base. The Company sources and distributes the Suregrip line for occupational use by consumers employed in the hospitality, healthcare, and other industries.

Strategy

The Company's long-term strategy has been to seek organic growth by: 1) increasing the Company's store base, 2) increasing retail square footage, 3) improving comparable sales, both in stores and digital commerce, 4) increasing operating margin and 5) enhancing the value of its brands. Most of the new stores openings in North America are currently planned to be Lids Locker Room, Lids Clubhouse and Journeys Kidz stores, all of which management considers to be underpenetrated in many markets. To address potential saturation of the U.S. market, certain of the Company's retail businesses have opened retail stores in Canada, beginning in Fiscal 2011.

To further supplement its organic growth potential, the Company has made acquisitions, including the acquisition of the Schuh Group in June 2011 and several smaller acquisitions of businesses in the Lids Sports Group's markets, and expects to consider acquisition opportunities, either to augment its existing businesses or to enter new businesses that it considers compatible with its existing businesses, core expertise and strategic profile. Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including, among others, inaccurate valuation of the acquired business, the assumption of undisclosed liabilities, the failure to integrate the acquired

38

business appropriately, and distraction of management from existing businesses. The Company seeks to mitigate these risks by applying appropriate financial metrics in its valuation analysis and developing and executing plans for due diligence and integration that are appropriate to each acquisition. The Company also seeks appropriate opportunities to extend existing brands and retail concepts. For example, the Schuh Group opened its first Schuh Kids store in Scotland during the third quarter of Fiscal 2013. The Company typically tests such extensions on a relatively small scale to determine their viability and to refine their strategies and operations before making significant, long-term commitments.

More generally, the Company attempts to develop strategies to mitigate the risks it views as material, including those discussed under the caption “Forward Looking Statements,” above, and those discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors. Among the most important of these factors are those related to consumer demand. Conditions in the external economy can affect demand, resulting in changes in sales and, as prices are adjusted to drive sales and manage inventories, in gross margins. Because fashion trends influencing many of the Company's target customers can change rapidly, the Company believes that its ability to react quickly to those changes has been important to its success. Even when the Company succeeds in aligning its merchandise offerings with consumer preferences, those preferences may affect results by, for example, driving sales of products with lower average selling prices. Moreover, economic factors, such as the relatively high level of unemployment and any future economic contraction and changes in tax policies, may reduce the consumer's disposable income or his or her willingness to purchase discretionary items, and thus may reduce demand for the Company's merchandise, regardless of the Company's skill in detecting and responding to fashion trends. The Company believes its experience and discipline in merchandising and the buying power associated with its relative size and importance in the industry segments in which it competes are important to its ability to mitigate risks associated with changing customer preferences and other changes in consumer demand.

Summary of Results of Operations

The Company's net sales decreased 1.5% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 compared to the same quarter of Fiscal 2013. The decrease reflected a 3% decrease in each of Journeys Group, Schuh Group and Lids Sports Group sales and a 6% decrease in Licensed Brands sales, partially offset by a 14% increase in Johnston & Murphy Group sales. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 50.5% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, compared to 51.1% for the same period last year, reflecting decreased gross margin as a percentage of net sales in the Schuh Group, Lids Sports Group and Johnston & Murphy Group, offset slightly by increased gross margins in the Journeys Group and Licensed Brands. Selling and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales during the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, reflecting decreases as a percentage of net sales in Schuh Group and Corporate expenses. Earnings from operations decreased as a percentage of net sales during the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, reflecting decreased earnings from operations as a percentage of net sales in all of the Company's business units.

Significant Developments

Preferred Stock Redemption

The Company issued a notice of mandatory redemption effective April 30, 2013 to its holders of Subordinated Serial Preferred Stock $2.30 Series 1, $4.75 Series 3 and $4.75 Series 4 and on its $1.50 Subordinated Cumulative Preferred Stock during the first quarter of Fiscal 2014. The total cost of the redemption was $1.5 million. For additional information on the redemption, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

39

Asset Impairment and Other Charges

The Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $1.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, including $1.2 million for retail store asset impairments and $0.1 million for network intrusion expenses. The Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $0.1 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, primarily associated with the network intrusion.

Comparable Sales

During Fiscal 2013, the Company revised its presentation of comparable sales to include its e-commerce and direct mail catalog businesses. Prior year comparable sales have been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation. Comparable sales are sales from stores open longer than one year, beginning in the fifty-third week of a store's operation, sales of websites operated longer than one year, and direct mail catalog sales. Temporarily closed stores are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation for every full week of the store closing. Expanded stores are excluded from the comparable store sales calculation until the fifty-third week of operation in the expanded format.

Results of Operations - First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Compared to Fiscal 2013

The Company's net sales in the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 decreased 1.5% to $591.4 million from$600.1 million in the first quarter ended April 28, 2012, reflecting decreased net sales and/or comparable sales in all of the Company's business units except Johnston & Murphy Group. Gross margin decreased 2.6% to $298.6 million in the first quarter this year from $306.7 million in the same period last year and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 51.1% to 50.5%, reflecting decreased gross margin as a percentage of net sales in Schuh Group, Lids Sports Group and Johnston & Murphy Group, offset slightly by increased gross margin as a percentage of net sales in Journeys Group and Licensed Brands. Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter this year decreased 2.0% from the first quarter last year and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 45.1% to 44.8% reflecting a decreased accrual for the bonus agreed to in connection with the acquisition of the Schuh Group contingent on the Group's performance during the first four years of the Company's ownership and lower Corporate annual incentive compensation accruals this year compared to last year's first quarter, offset slightly by increased expenses in Journeys Group, Lids Sports Group, Johnston & Murphy Group and Licensed Brands. The Company records buying and merchandising and occupancy costs in selling and administrative expense. Because the Company does not include these costs in cost of sales, the Company's gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers that include these costs in the calculation of gross margin. Explanations of the changes in results of operations are provided by business segment in discussions following these introductory paragraphs.

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes (“pretax earnings”) for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 were $31.2 million compared to $34.9 million for the first quarter ended April 28, 2012. Pretax earnings for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 included asset impairment and other charges of $1.3 million primarily for retail store asset impairments and network intrusion expenses and $2.9 million in expense related to the deferred purchase price obligation related to the Schuh acquisition. Because the deferred purchase price for Schuh is contingent on the payees' continuing employment with Schuh (subject to certain exceptions), U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require that it be expensed as compensation across the period of service until payment is due. Pretax earnings for the first quarter ended April 28, 2012 included asset impairment and other charges of $0.1 million, primarily for network intrusion expenses and $3.0 million in expenses related to the deferred purchase price obligation related to the Schuh acquisition.

40

Net earnings for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 were $18.4 million ($0.77 diluted earnings per share) compared to $20.6 million ($0.85 diluted earnings per share) for the first quarter ended April 28, 2012. The Company recorded an effective income tax rate of 40.8% in the first quarter this year compared to 40.4% in the same period last year.

Journeys Group

Earnings from operations	$	23,631		$	25,282		(6.5	)%
Operating margin	9.2		%	9.6		%

Net sales from Journeys Group decreased 2.5% to $257.1 million for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 compared to $263.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease reflects primarily a 2% decrease in comparable sales which includes a 2% decrease in same store sales and a 26% increase in comparable direct sales. The comparable sales decrease reflected a 3% decrease in footwear unit sales while the average price per pair of shoes was flat. Journeys Group operated 1,156 stores at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, including 157 Journeys Kidz stores, 51 Shi by Journeys stores, 126 Underground by Journeys stores and 24 Journeys stores in Canada, compared to 1,154 stores at the end of the first quarter last year, including 152 Journeys Kidz stores, 53 Shi by Journeys stores, 135 Underground by Journeys stores and 18 Journeys stores in Canada.

Journeys Group earnings from operations for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 decreased 6.5% to $23.6 million compared to $25.3 million for the first quarter ended April 28, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreased net sales and to increased expenses as a percentage of net sales, reflecting negative leverage from negative comparable sales, partially offset by decreased bonus accruals.

Schuh Group

	Three Months Ended
	May 4, 2013			April 28, 2012			% Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Net sales	$	68,323		$	70,312		(2.8	)%
Loss from operations	$	(3,026	)	$	(2,951	)	(2.5	)%
Operating margin	(4.4		)%	(4.2		)%

Net sales from the Schuh Group decreased 2.8% to $68.3 million for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013, compared to $70.3 million for the first quarter ended April 28, 2012. The decrease reflects primarily an 11% decrease in comparable sales, which includes a 14% decrease in same store sales and a 5% increase in comparable direct sales. The comparable sales decrease was offset by an 18% increase in average Schuh stores operated (i.e. the sum of the number of stores open on the first day of the fiscal quarter and the last day of each fiscal month during the quarter divided by four). Schuh Group operated 80 stores, including three Schuh Kids stores, and 11 concessions at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, compared to 65

41

stores and 14 concessions at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. The Schuh Group expects to exit the 11 concessions they currently operate in Republic stores in the U.K. by the end of this fiscal year.

Schuh Group loss from operations was ($3.0) million for both the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 and the first quarter ended April 28, 2012. The loss included $2.9 million in the first quarter this year and $3.0 million in the first quarter last year in compensation expense related to a deferred purchase price obligation in connection with the acquisition. The loss also included $1.0 million this year and $2.5 million last year related to accruals for a contingent bonus payment for Schuh employees provided for in the Schuh acquisition. The improvements in deferred purchase price -related compensation expense and contingent bonus expense this year were offset by the effects of decreases in net sales and gross margin. The decreased gross margin reflected lower initial markons related to changes in product mix and increased promotional activity.

Lids Sports Group

	Three Months Ended
	May 4, 2013			April 28, 2012			% Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Net sales	$	177,905		$	183,136		(2.9	)%
Earnings from operations	$	12,509		$	19,168		(34.7	)%
Operating margin	7.0		%	10.5		%

Net sales from Lids Sports Group decreased 2.9% to $177.9 million for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013, compared to $183.1 million for the same period last year, reflecting primarily a 6% decrease in comparable sales, which includes an 8% decrease in same store sales and a 33% increase in comparable direct sales, slightly offset by a 5% increase in average Lids Sports Group stores operated. The comparable sales decrease reflected a 5% decrease in comparable store hat units sold, primarily in the fitted hat business due to the current popularity of adjustable "snap-back" hat styles, which have displaced some demand for fitted merchandise. The average price per hat also decreased 2% for the first quarter this year as "snap-back" hats are a lower priced item than fitted fashion hats and "snap-back" styles are becoming more price competitive. Management believes that the relative ease of merchandising non-fitted hats has enabled a variety of non-headwear retailers to carry the adjustable styles, increasing competition in the category, although management believes that competition in the category lessened somewhat in the quarter. Lids Sports Group operated 1,054 stores at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, including 97 Lids stores in Canada and 144 Lids Locker Room and Clubhouse stores, compared to 1,001 stores at the end of the first quarter last year, including 84 Lids stores in Canada and 110 Lids Locker Room and Clubhouse stores.

Lids Sports Group earnings from operations for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 decreased 34.7% to $12.5 million compared to $19.2 million for the first quarter ended April 28, 2012. The decrease was due to decreased net sales, decreased gross margin as a percentage of net sales, reflecting decreased initial mark-on related to changes in product mix and lowering of prices on "snap-back" to meet competition, and to increased expenses as a percentage of net sales, reflecting negative leverage from negative comparable sales.

Earnings from operations	$	3,852		$	4,009		(3.9	)%
Operating margin	6.6		%	7.8		%

Johnston & Murphy Group net sales increased 13.6% to $58.4 million for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 from $51.4 million for the first quarter ended April 28, 2012, reflecting primarily a 6% increase in same store sales, a 10% increase in comparable direct sales and a 7% increase in comparable sales, including both store and direct sales; a 16% increase in Johnston & Murphy wholesale sales; and a 3% increase in average stores operated for Johnston & Murphy retail operations. Unit sales for the Johnston & Murphy wholesale business increased 16% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 while the average price per pair of shoes decreased 1% for the same period. Retail operations accounted for 69.7% of Johnston & Murphy Group's sales in the first quarter this year, down from 70.3% in the first quarter last year. The comparable sales increase reflects a 4% increase in average price per pair of shoes for Johnston & Murphy retail operations, primarily associated with increased sales of higher-priced dress shoes, and a 4% increase in footwear unit comparable sales. The store count for Johnston & Murphy retail operations at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 included 157 Johnston & Murphy shops and factory stores, including five stores in Canada, compared to 152 Johnston & Murphy shops and factory stores, including one store in Canada, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2013.

Johnston & Murphy Group earnings from operations for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 decreased 3.9% to $3.9 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period last year, primarily due to decreased gross margin as a percentage of net sales, reflecting changes in product mix and higher markdowns, and to increased expenses as a percentage of net sales, due primarily to development costs associated with the planned launch of a new line in the fall of this year.

Licensed Brands

	Three Months Ended
	May 4, 2013			April 28, 2012			% Change
	(dollars in thousands)

Earnings from operations	$	2,915		$	3,365		(13.4	)%
Operating margin	9.9		%	10.8		%

Licensed Brands' net sales decreased 6.1% to $29.4 million for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013, from $31.3 million for the same period last year, reflecting a decrease in sales of Dockers Footwear, partially offset by increased sales of SureGrip Footwear. Unit sales for Dockers Footwear decreased 15% for the first quarter this year while the average price per pair of Dockers shoes increased 2% compared to the same period last year.

43

Licensed Brands' earnings from operations decreased 13.4%, from $3.4 million for the first quarter last year to $2.9 million for the first quarter this year, primarily due to decreased net sales and increased expenses as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to increased advertising and freight expenses.

Corporate, Interest Expenses and Other Charges

Corporate and other expense for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 was $7.6 million compared to $12.9 million for the first quarter ended April 28, 2012. Corporate expense in the first quarter this year included $1.3 million in asset impairment and other charges, primarily for retail store asset impairments and network intrusion expenses. Last year's expense in the first quarter included $0.1 million in asset impairment and other charges, primarily for network intrusion expenses. Excluding the charges listed above, corporate and other expense decreased primarily due to decreased bonus accruals.

Net interest expense decreased 7.0% from $1.1 million in the first quarter last year to $1.0 million for the first quarter this year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth certain financial data at the dates indicated.

	May 4, 2013		February 2, 2013		April 28, 2012
	(dollars in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	39.7	$	59.8	$	54.8
Working capital	$	410.3	$	406.2	$	314.3
Long-term debt (including current portion)	$	53.3	$	50.7	$	35.7

Working Capital

The Company's business is somewhat seasonal, with the Company's investment in inventory and accounts receivable normally reaching peaks in the spring and fall of each year. Historically, cash flows from operations have been generated principally in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Cash provided by operating activities was $23.5 million in the first three months of Fiscal 2014 compared to $7.6 million in the first three months of Fiscal 2013. The $15.9 million increase in cash flow from operating activities from last year reflects increases in cash flow from changes in accounts payable, accounts receivable and inventory of $9.8 million, $9.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively, offset by a $10.3 million decrease in cash flow from changes in other accrued liabilities. The $9.8 million increase in cash flow from changes in accounts payable was due to changes in buying patterns and payment terms negotiated with individual vendors. The $9.5 million increase in cash flow from changes in accounts receivable was due to decreased wholesale sales in Licensed Brands in this year's first quarter compared to increased footwear wholesale sales in the first quarter last year and improved collections in Lids Team Sports. The $4.2 million increase in cash flow from inventory reflects increases in retail inventory offset by decreased inventory in the wholesale businesses. The $10.3 million decrease in cash flow from other accrued liabilities reflects decreased bonus accruals.

The $4.7 million increase in inventories at May 4, 2013 from February 2, 2013 levels reflected increased purchases in Schuh Group, Lids Sports Group and Johnston & Murphy retail, offset by decreased inventory in the wholesale businesses.

Accounts receivable at May 4, 2013 decreased $4.2 million compared to February 2, 2013, due primarily to improved collections in Lids Team Sports.

Sources of Liquidity

The Company has three principal sources of liquidity: cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and the Credit Facility discussed below. The Company believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under its Credit Facility will be sufficient to cover its working capital and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

On June 23, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) dated January 21, 2011, in the aggregate principal amount of $375.0 million, with a $40.0 million swingline loan sublimit, a $70.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a Canadian sub-facility of up to $8.0 million, which has a five-year term, expiring in January 2016. The Amendment raised the aggregate principal amount on the Credit Facility to $375.0 million from $300.0 million. Any swingline loans and any letters of credit and borrowings under the Canadian sub-facility will reduce the availability under the Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. In addition, the Company has an option to increase the availability under the Credit Facility by up to $75.0 million subject to, among other things, the receipt of commitments for the increased amount. The aggregate amount of the loans made and letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility shall at no time exceed the lesser of the facility amount ($375.0 million or, if increased at the Company's option, subject to the receipt of commitments for the increased amount, up to $450.0 million) or the “Borrowing Base”, which generally is based on 90% of eligible inventory plus 85% of eligible wholesale receivables (50% of eligible wholesale receivables of the Lids Team Sports business) plus 90% of eligible credit card and debit card receivables less applicable reserves.

In connection with the Schuh acquisition, Schuh entered into an amended and restated Senior Term Facilities Agreement and Working Capital Facility Letter (collectively, the "UK Credit Facilities") which provide for term loans of up to £29.5 million (a £15.5 million A term loan and £14.0 million B term loan) and a working capital facility of £5.0 million. The Working Capital Facility Letter was allowed to lapse in June 2012. The A term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum. The B term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum. The Company is not required to make any payments on the B term loan until it expires on October 31, 2015, unless the Company's Schuh Group segment has Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the UK Credit Facilities). The Company paid £2.0 million, £2.8 million and £4.5 million on the B term loan in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013, the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 and the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2012, respectively.

The UK Credit Facilities contain certain covenants at the Schuh level including a minimum interest coverage covenant initially set at 4.25x and increasing to 4.50x in January 2012 and thereafter, a maximum leverage covenant initially set at 2.75x declining over time at various rates to 2.25x beginning in July 2012 and a minimum cash flow coverage of 1.10x. The Company was in compliance with all the covenants at May 4, 2013. The UK Credit Facilities are secured by a pledge of all the assets of Schuh and its subsidiaries.

Revolving credit borrowings averaged $11.3 million during the three months ended May 4, 2013 and $2.3 million during the three months ended April 28, 2012, as cash on hand, cash generated from operations and revolver borrowings primarily funded seasonal working capital requirements, capital expenditures and stock repurchases for the first quarter of each year.

There were $12.5 million of letters of credit outstanding, $21.2 million in UK term loans outstanding and $32.1 million revolver borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at May 4, 2013. The Company is not required to comply with any financial covenants under the Credit Facility unless Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Facility) is less than the greater of $27.5 million or 12.5% of the Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Facility). If and during such time as Excess Availability is less than the greater of

$27.5 million or 12.5% of the Loan Cap, the Credit Facility requires the Company to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of (a) an amount equal to consolidated EBITDA less capital expenditures and taxes paid in cash, in each case for such period, to (b) fixed charges for such period, of not less than 1.0:1.0. Excess Availability was $294.0 million at May 4, 2013. Because Excess Availability exceeded $27.5 million or 12.5% of the Loan Cap, the Company was not required to comply with this financial covenant at May 4, 2013.

The Company's Credit Facility prohibits the payment of dividends and other restricted payments unless as of the date of the making of any Restricted Payment (as defined in the Credit Facility) or consummation of any Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Facility), (a) no Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) or Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) exists or would arise after giving effect to such Restricted Payment or Acquisition, and (b) either (i) the Borrowers (as defined in the Credit Facility) have pro forma projected Excess Availability for the following six month period equal to or greater than 50% of the Loan Cap, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment or Acquisition, or (ii) (A) the Borrowers have pro forma projected Excess Availability for the following six month period of less than 50% of the Loan Cap but equal to or greater than 20% of the Loan Cap, after giving pro forma effect to the Restricted Payment or Acquisition, and (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility), on a pro-forma basis for the twelve months preceding such Restricted Payment or Acquisition, will be equal to or greater than 1.0:1.0 and (c) after giving effect to such Restricted Payment or Acquisition, the Borrowers are Solvent (as defined in the Credit Facility). The Company's management does not expect availability under the Credit Facility to fall below the requirements listed above during Fiscal 2014. The Company's UK Credit Facilities prohibit the payment of any dividends by Schuh or its subsidiaries to the Company.

The Company issued a mandatory notice of redemption effective April 30, 2013, to its holders of Subordinated Serial Preferred Stock $2.30 Series 1, $4.75 Series 3 and $4.75 Series 4 and on its $1.50 Subordinated Cumulative Preferred Stock during the first quarter of Fiscal 2014. The total cost of the redemption was $1.5 million. As a result, all of these preferred issues of stock were either converted to common stock or redeemed in the first quarter this year and there are no outstanding shares remaining. Therefore, there is no longer an annual dividend requirement.

The Company's contractual obligations at May 4, 2013 increased from February 2, 2013 due primarily to a $69.9 million increase in purchase obligations to $616.9 million due to seasonal increases in purchases of retail inventory.

Capital Expenditures

Total capital expenditures in Fiscal 2014 are expected to be approximately $119.3 million. These include retail capital expenditures of approximately $104.8 million to open approximately 32 Journeys stores, including 12 in Canada, 20 Journeys Kidz stores, three Shi by Journeys stores, 22 permanent Schuh stores, including four Schuh Kids stores, 15 Johnston & Murphy shops and factory stores, including two stores in Canada, and 87 Lids Sports Group stores including 37 Lids stores, with 10 stores in Canada, and 50 Lids Locker Room and Clubhouse stores, and to complete approximately 150 major store renovations. The planned amount of capital expenditures in Fiscal 2014 for wholesale operations and other purposes is approximately $14.5 million, including approximately $6.8 million for new systems to improve customer service and support the Company's growth.

Future Capital Needs

The Company expects that cash on hand, cash provided by operations and borrowings under its Credit Facility will be sufficient to support seasonal working capital and capital expenditure requirements during Fiscal 2014. The approximately $7.2 million of costs associated with discontinued operations that are expected to be paid during the next twelve months are expected to be funded from cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility during Fiscal 2014.

Common Stock Repurchases

The Company repurchased 189,300 shares of common stock during the three months ended May 4, 2013 for a total cost of $11.2 million. The Company has $47.0 million remaining under its current $75.0 million share repurchase authorization. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended April 28, 2012.

Environmental and Other Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings and other legal matters, including those disclosed in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has made pretax accruals for certain of these contingencies, including approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013, respectively. These charges are included in provision for discontinued operations, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations because they relate to former facilities operated by the Company. The Company monitors these matters on an ongoing basis and, on a quarterly basis, management reviews the Company's reserves and accruals in relation to each of them, adjusting provisions as management deems necessary in view of changes in available information. Changes in estimates of liability are reported in the periods when they occur. Consequently, management believes that its reserve in relation to each proceeding is a reasonable estimate of the probable loss connected to the proceeding, or in cases in which no reasonable estimate is possible, the minimum amount in the range of estimated losses, based upon its analysis of the facts and circumstances as of the close of the most recent fiscal quarter. However, because of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation generally and in environmental proceedings in particular, there can be no assurance that future developments will not require additional reserves, that some or all reserves may not be adequate or that the amounts of any such additional reserves or any such inadequacy will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Financial Market Risk

The following discusses the Company's exposure to financial market risk related to changes in interest rates.

Outstanding Debt of the Company - The Company has $32.1 million of outstanding revolver borrowings at a weighted average interest rate of 4.5% as of May 4, 2013. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase annual interest expense by $0.3 million on the $32.1 million revolver borrowings. The Company has $21.2 million of outstanding U.K. term loans at a weighted average interest rate of 3.44% as of May 4, 2013. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase annual interest expense by $0.2 million on the $21.2 million term loans.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company's cash and cash equivalent balances are invested in financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company did not have significant exposure to changing interest rates on invested cash at May 4, 2013. As a result, the Company considers the interest rate market risk implicit in these investments at May 4, 2013 to be low.

47

Accounts Receivable - The Company's accounts receivable balance at May 4, 2013 is concentrated in two of its footwear wholesale businesses, which sell primarily to department stores and independent retailers across the United States and its Lids Team Sports wholesale business, which sells primarily to colleges and high school athletic teams and their fan bases. Including both footwear wholesale and Lids Team Sports wholesale business receivables, one customer accounted for 8%, another customer accounted for 7% and no other customer accounted for more than 4% of the Company's total trade receivables balance as of May 4, 2013. The Company monitors the credit quality of its customers and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information, as well as customer specific factors; however, credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry, as well as company-specific information.

Summary - Based on the Company's overall market interest rate exposure at May 4, 2013, the Company believes that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for Fiscal 2014 would not be material.

The Company's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of May 4, 2013. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company have concluded that as od May 4,2013, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's first quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
