Item 5. Other Events.
The attached exhibit contains the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002 for which Note 13 has been reclassified to conform with new segment presentation effective March 2002 described in the next paragraph.
Following the acquisition of the Intimate Brands, Inc. minority interest in March 2002, the Company resegmented its business into three reportable segments: Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works and Apparel. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, these resegmented businesses have been reflected in the Company’s quarterly filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission beginning with the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 4, 2002. Previously, the Company’s reportable segments were Intimate Brands and Apparel.
Other than the changes to Note 13, the consolidated financial statements filed herewith are identical to the consolidated financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002.
