	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	All references in this report to “we,” “us,” or “our” are to Big Lots, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  We are the largest broadline closeout retailer in the United States of America (“U.S.”). At August 2, 2014, we operated 1,493 stores in the U.S.  We make available, free of charge, through the “Investor Relations” section of our website (www.biglots.com) under the “SEC Filings” caption, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The contents of our websites are not part of this report.
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which management believes are necessary to present fairly our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented. These consolidated financial statements, however, do not include all information necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  Interim results may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for, or actually result during, any other interim period or for the year as a whole.  We have historically experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations, with a larger percentage of our net sales and operating profit realized in our fourth fiscal quarter.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 (“2013 Form 10-K”).
	Fiscal Periods
	Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31, which results in fiscal years consisting of 52 or 53 weeks.  Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this report relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.  Fiscal year 2014 (“2014”) is comprised of the 52 weeks that began on February 2, 2014 and will end on January 31, 2015.  Fiscal year 2013 (“2013”) was comprised of the 52 weeks that began on February 3, 2013 and ended on February 1, 2014.  The fiscal quarters ended August 2, 2014 (“second quarter of 2014”) and August 3, 2013 (“second quarter of 2013”) were both comprised of 13 weeks.  The year-to-date periods ended August 2, 2014 (“year-to-date 2014”) and August 3, 2013 (“year-to-date 2013”) were both comprised of 26 weeks.
	Selling and Administrative Expenses
	Selling and administrative expenses include store expenses (such as payroll and occupancy costs) and costs related to warehousing, distribution, outbound transportation to our stores, advertising, purchasing, insurance, non-income taxes, and overhead.  Our selling and administrative expense rates may not be comparable to those of other retailers that include distribution and outbound transportation costs in cost of sales.  Distribution and outbound transportation costs included in selling and administrative expenses were $37.3 million and $36.7 million for the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013, respectively, and $78.1 million and $75.9 million for the year-to-date 2014 and the year-to-date 2013, respectively.
	Advertising Expense
	Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, consist primarily of television and print advertising, internet marketing and advertising, and in-store presentations.  Advertising expenses are included in selling and administrative expenses.  Advertising expenses were $18.9 million and $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013, respectively, and $40.8 million and $43.0 million for the year-to-date 2014 and the year-to-date 2013, respectively.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The functional currency of our former international subsidiary was the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary was located. We had one foreign subsidiary domiciled in Canada. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities was included as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss in 2013. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in discontinued operations because our Canadian subsidiary has ceased operations. There were no gains or losses from foreign currency transactions for the second quarter of 2014. There were losses from foreign currency transactions of $0.1 million, $4.7 million, and $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, the year-to-date 2014, and the year-to-date 2013, respectively. Included in the foreign currency loss in the year-to-date 2014 is a $5.1 million loss related to the realization of the cumulative translation adjustment on our investment in our Canadian operations.

	Reclassifications
	Wholesale Business
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, we executed our wind down plan and ceased the operations of our wholesale business. Therefore, we determined that the results of our wholesale business should be reported as discontinued operations. As such, we have reclassified our results for all periods presented. Please see the Wholesale Business section of note 11 and note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the wind down of our wholesale business and the costs we incurred in connection with the wind down during the year-to-date 2014.
	Canadian Operations
	During the first quarter of 2014, we executed the remainder of our wind down plan and ceased the operations of our former Canadian segment. Therefore, we determined that the results of our former Canadian segment should be reported as discontinued operations. As such, we have reclassified our results for all periods presented. Please see the Canadian Operations section of note 11 and note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the wind down of our Canadian operations and the costs we incurred in connection with the wind down during the year-to-date 2014.
	Merchandise Categories
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, we realigned select merchandise categories to be consistent with the realignment of our merchandising team and changes to our management reporting. We now use the following merchandise categories, which match our internal management and reporting of merchandise net sales: Food, Consumables, Soft Home, Hard Home, Furniture & Home Décor, Seasonal, and Electronics & Accessories. The Food category includes our beverage & grocery, candy & snacks, and specialty foods departments. The Consumables category includes our health and beauty, plastics, paper, chemical, and pet departments. The Soft Home category includes the fashion bedding, utility bedding, bath, window, decorative textile, and flooring departments. The Hard Home category includes our small appliances, table top, food preparation, stationery, greeting card, tools, paint, and home maintenance departments. The Furniture & Home Décor category includes our upholstery, mattress, ready-to-assemble, case goods, home décor, and frames departments. The Seasonal category includes our lawn & garden, summer, Christmas, toys, books, sporting goods, and other holiday departments. The Electronics & Accessories category includes the electronics, jewelry, apparel, hosiery, and infant accessories departments. In order to provide comparative information, we have reclassified our net sales by merchandise category into the new alignment for all periods presented in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.
	We periodically make minor adjustments to our product hierarchy, which can impact the roll-up of our merchandise categories. Our financial reporting process utilizes the most current product hierarchy in reporting net sales by merchandise category for all periods presented. Therefore, there may be minor reclassifications of net sales by merchandise category compared to previously reported amounts.

	Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement are available for general corporate purposes and working capital.  The 2011 Credit Agreement includes a $30 million swing loan sublimit and a $150 million letter of credit sublimit.  The interest rates, pricing and fees under the 2011 Credit Agreement fluctuate based on our debt rating.  The 2011 Credit Agreement allows us to select our interest rate for each borrowing from multiple interest rate options.  The interest rate options are generally derived from the prime rate or LIBOR.  We may prepay revolving loans made under the 2011 Credit Agreement.  The 2011 Credit Agreement contains financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments, as well as the maintenance of two financial ratios – a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio.  A violation of any of the covenants could result in a default under the 2011 Credit Agreement that would permit the lenders to restrict our ability to further access the 2011 Credit Agreement for loans and letters of credit and require the immediate repayment of any outstanding loans under the 2011 Credit Agreement.  At August 2, 2014, we had $56.5 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement and $19.9 million was committed to outstanding letters of credit, leaving $623.6 million available under the 2011 Credit Agreement.

	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	In connection with our nonqualified deferred compensation plan, we had mutual fund investments of $17.7 million and $21.2 million at August 2, 2014 and February 1, 2014, respectively, which were recorded in other assets. These investments were classified as trading securities and were recorded at their fair value. The fair values of mutual fund investments were Level 1 valuations under the fair value hierarchy because each fund’s quoted market value per share was available in an active market.
	The fair values of our long-term obligations are estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues and the current interest rates offered for similar instruments. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Given the variable rate features and relatively short maturity of the instruments underlying our long-term obligations, the carrying value of these instruments approximates the fair value.
	The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these items.

	Earnings per Share
	There were no adjustments required to be made to the weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share and there were no securities outstanding at August 2, 2014 or August 3, 2013, which were excluded from the computation of earnings per share other than antidilutive stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units.  For the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013, 1.2 million and 3.0 million, respectively, of the stock options outstanding were antidilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.  For the year-to-date 2014 and the year-to-date 2013, 1.8 million and 2.8 million, respectively, of the stock options outstanding were antidilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive stock options generally consist of outstanding stock options where the exercise price per share is greater than the weighted-average market price per share for our common shares for each period.  Antidilutive stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units are excluded from the calculation because they decrease the number of diluted shares outstanding under the treasury stock method. The restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that were antidilutive, as determined under the treasury stock method, were immaterial for all periods presented.
	Share Repurchase Programs
	On March 5, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of $125 million of our common shares (“March 2014 Repurchase Program”). Pursuant to the March 2014 Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions at our discretion, subject to market conditions and other factors. Common shares acquired through the March 2014 Repurchase Program will be available to meet obligations under our equity compensation plans and for general corporate purposes.
	During the second quarter of 2014, we acquired approximately 1.1 million of our outstanding common shares for $42.5 million, which exhausted our authorization under the March 2014 Repurchase Program. During the year-to-date 2014, we acquired approximately 3.3 million of our outstanding common shares for $125.0 million.
	Dividends
	On June 25, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors initiated a cash dividend program under which we currently expect to pay quarterly dividends on our common shares in the future. Our Board of Directors declared an initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per common share, payable on July 29, 2014, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 11, 2014. Future dividends are subject to declaration by our Board of Directors.
	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company paid cash dividends of $0.17 per share for a total of approximately $9.4 million.

	We have issued nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance share units under our shareholder-approved equity compensation plans.  Our restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, as described below and/or in note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2013 Form 10-K, are expensed and reported as nonvested shares. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $2.2 million and $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013, respectively, and $5.0 million and $7.8 million for the year-to-date 2014 and the year-to-date 2013, respectively.
	The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted and assumptions used in the model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during each of the respective periods were as follows:
		Second Quarter				Year-to-Date
		2013				2013
	Weighted-average fair value of stock options granted	$	11.87			$	12.1
	Risk-free interest rate	0.7		%		0.7		%
	Expected life (years)	4.2				4.2
	Expected volatility	41.1		%		42.3		%
	Expected annual forfeiture rate	3		%		3		%
	During the year-to-date 2014, we granted no stock options.
	The following table summarizes stock option activity for the year-to-date 2014:
		Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share			Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (000's)
	Outstanding stock options at February 1, 2014	3,377,303		$	34.88
	Exercised	(243,218	)	26.9
	Forfeited	(139,850	)	38.63
	Outstanding stock options at May 3, 2014	2,994,235		$	35.35		4.2	$	16,314
	Exercised	(464,400	)	36.73

	Outstanding stock options at August 2, 2014	2,479,135		$	35		4.1	$	20,850
	Vested or expected to vest at August 2, 2014	2,382,555		$	34.86		4	$	20,367
	Exercisable at August 2, 2014	1,420,196		$	32.68		3.2	$	15,233
	The stock options granted in prior years vest in equal amounts on the first four anniversaries of the grant date and have a contractual term of seven years.  The number of stock options expected to vest was based on our annual forfeiture rate assumption.
	The following table summarizes the non-vested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units activity for the year-to-date 2014:
		Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share
	Outstanding non-vested restricted stock at February 1, 2014	664,101		$	38.34
	Granted	281,056		37.12
	Vested	(13,500	)	34.75
	Forfeited	(99,200	)	40.19
	Outstanding nonvested restricted stock at May 3, 2014	832,457		$	37.77
	Granted	32,987		42.86
	Vested	(23,776	)	33.65
	Forfeited	(22,490	)	39.61
	Outstanding nonvested restricted stock at August 2, 2014	819,178		$	38.04
	The non-vested restricted stock units granted in the year-to-date 2014 generally vest on a ratable basis over three years from the grant date of the award, if certain threshold financial performance objectives are achieved and and the grantee remains employed by us through the vesting dates.
	The non-vested restricted stock awards granted in prior years vest if certain financial performance objectives are achieved. If we meet a threshold financial performance objective and the grantee remains employed by us, the restricted stock will vest on the opening of our first trading window five years after the grant date of the award. If we meet a higher financial performance objective and the grantee remains employed by us, the restricted stock will vest on the first trading day after we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year in which the higher objective is met. As of February 1, 2014, we estimated a five-year period for vesting of all non-vested restricted stock awards granted in prior years, as we do not anticipate achieving the higher financial performance objective for any outstanding grants.
	In 2013, in connection with his appointment as CEO and President, Mr. David J. Campisi was awarded 37,800 performance share units, which vest based on the achievement of share price performance goals, that had a weighted average grant-date fair value per share of $34.68. The performance share units have a contractual term of seven years. In the second quarter of 2014, Mr. Campisi's first tranche of 12,600 performance share units vested. If the performance goals applicable to the remaining performance share units are not achieved prior to expiration, the awards will be forfeited. A total of 25,200 performance share units remain outstanding at August 2, 2014.
	In the year-to-date 2014, we issued 446,790 performance share units, net of forfeitures, to certain members of management, which vest if certain financial performance objectives are achieved over a three-year performance period and the grantee remains employed by us during that period. The financial performance objectives for each fiscal year within the three-year performance period are approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors during the first quarter of the respective fiscal year. As a result of the process used to establish the financial performance objectives, we will only meet the requirements of establishing a grant date for the performance share units when we communicate the financial performance objectives for the third fiscal year of the award to the award recipients, which will then trigger the service inception date, the fair value of the awards, and the associated expense recognition period. If we meet the applicable threshold financial performance objectives over the three-year performance period and the grantee remains employed by us through the end of the performance period, the performance share units will vest on the first trading day after we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K three years after the initial issuance of the award.
	In the second quarter of 2014, 23,776 common shares underlying the restricted stock awards granted in 2013 to the non-employee members of our Board of Directors vested on the trading day immediately preceding our 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. These awards were part of the annual compensation granted in 2013 to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2014, each non-employee elected to our Board of Directors at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders received an annual restricted stock award having a grant date fair value of approximately $110,000.  The 2014 restricted stock awards will vest on the earlier of (1) the trading day immediately preceding our 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or (2) the non-employee director’s death or disability.  However, the restricted stock award will not vest if the non-employee director ceases to serve on our Board of Directors before either vesting event occurs.
	The following activity occurred under our share-based plans during the respective periods shown:
		Second Quarter							Year-to-Date
	(In thousands)	2014			2013				2014		2013
	Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised	$	3,341		$	749			$	5,930	$	1,789
	Total fair value of restricted stock vested	888			1,434				1,411		1,434
	Total fair value of performance shares vested	558			—				558		—
	The total unearned compensation cost related to all share-based awards outstanding at August 2, 2014 was approximately $41.3 million.  This compensation cost is expected to be recognized through January 2019 based on existing vesting terms with the weighted-average remaining expense recognition period being approximately 2.3 years from August 2, 2014.

	Discount rate	5	%	4.6	%
	Rate of increase in compensation levels	3	%	3.5	%

	Net periodic pension cost	$	852		$	975		$	1,704		$	1,951
	We currently expect no required contributions to the qualified defined benefit pension plan during 2014.  We will contribute to the nonqualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan as benefits are paid to plan participants, if any, because the nonqualified plan is not a funded plan.

	In conjunction with the wind down of our former Canadian segment, our Canadian subsidiary was dissolved during the second quarter of 2014 which resulted in a write-off of the net deferred tax assets (including a net operating loss carryforward) for the Canadian jurisdiction and a release of the corresponding valuation allowance.
	We have estimated the reasonably possible expected net change in unrecognized tax benefits through August 1, 2015, based on (1) expected cash and noncash settlements or payments of uncertain tax positions, and (2) lapses of the applicable statutes of limitations for unrecognized tax benefits.  The estimated net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits for the next 12 months is approximately $4.0 million.  Actual results may differ materially from this estimate.

	On May 21, May 22 and July 2, 2012, three shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio against us and certain of our current and former outside directors and executive officers (Jeffrey Berger, David Kollat, Brenda Lauderback, Philip Mallott, Russell Solt, Dennis Tishkoff, Robert Claxton, Joe Cooper, Steven Fishman, Charles Haubiel, Timothy Johnson, John Martin, Norman Rankin, Paul Schroeder, Robert Segal and Steven Smart). The lawsuits were consolidated, and, on August 13, 2012, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint, which generally alleges that the individual defendants traded in our common shares based on material, nonpublic information concerning our guidance for fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the director defendants failed to suspend our share repurchase program during such trading activity. The consolidated complaint asserts claims under Ohio law for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, misappropriation of trade secrets and corporate waste and seeks declaratory relief and disgorgement to us of proceeds from any wrongful sales of our common shares, plus attorneys’ fees and expenses. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint, and that motion is fully briefed and awaiting a decision.
	We received a letter dated January 28, 2013, sent on behalf of a shareholder demanding that our Board of Directors investigate and take action in connection with the allegations made in the derivative and securities lawsuits described above. The shareholder indicated that he would commence a derivative lawsuit if our Board of Directors failed to take the demanded action. On March 6, 2013, our Board of Directors referred the shareholder’s letter to a committee of independent directors to investigate the matter. That committee, with the assistance of independent outside counsel, investigated the allegations in the shareholder’s demand letter and, on August 28, 2013, reported its findings to our Board of Directors along with its recommendation that the Board reject the shareholder’s demand. Our Board of Directors unanimously accepted the recommendation of the demand investigation committee and, on September 9, 2013, outside counsel for the committee sent a letter to counsel for the shareholder informing the shareholder of the Board’s determination. On October 18, 2013, the shareholder filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio against us and each of the current and former outside directors and executive officers named in the 2012 shareholder derivative lawsuit. The plaintiff’s complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants traded in our common shares based on material, nonpublic information concerning our guidance for fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the director defendants failed to suspend our share repurchase program during such trading activity. The complaint asserts claims under Ohio law for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, corporate waste and misappropriation of trade secrets and seeks damages, injunctive relief and disgorgement to us of proceeds from any wrongful sales of our common shares, plus attorneys’ fees and expenses. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and that motion is fully briefed and awaiting a decision.
	On February 10, 2014, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Franklin County Common Pleas Court in Columbus, Ohio, against us and certain of our current and former outside directors and executive officers (David Campisi, Steven Fishman, Joe Cooper, Charles Haubiel, Timothy Johnson, Robert Claxton, John Martin, Norman Rankin, Paul Schroeder, Robert Segal, Steven Smart, David Kollat, Jeffrey Berger, James Chambers, Peter Hayes, Brenda Lauderback, Philip Mallott, Russell Solt, James Tener and Dennis Tishkoff). The plaintiff’s complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants traded in our common shares based on material, nonpublic information concerning our guidance for fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the director defendants failed to suspend our share repurchase program during such trading activity. The complaint also alleges that we and various individual defendants made false and misleading statements regarding our Canadian operations prior to our announcement on December 5, 2013 that we were exiting the Canadian market. The complaint asserts claims under Ohio law for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets and misappropriation of insider information and seeks damages, injunctive relief and disgorgement to us of proceeds from any wrongful sales of our common shares, plus attorneys’ fees and expenses. At the parties’ request, the court has stayed this lawsuit until after the judge in the federal lawsuits discussed in the preceding paragraphs has ruled on the motions to dismiss pending in those federal lawsuits.
	On July 9, 2012, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio on behalf of persons who acquired our common shares between February 2, 2012 and April 23, 2012. This lawsuit was filed against us, Lisa Bachmann, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Fishman and Mr. Haubiel. The complaint in the putative class action generally alleges that the defendants made statements concerning our financial performance that were false or misleading. The complaint asserts claims under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 and seeks damages in an unspecified amount, plus attorneys’ fees and expenses. The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on April 4, 2013, which added Mr. Johnson as a defendant, removed Ms. Bachmann as a defendant, and extended the putative class period to August 23, 2012. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the putative class action complaint, and that motion is fully briefed and awaiting a decision.
	We believe that the shareholder derivative and putative class action lawsuits are without merit, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the allegations levied in these lawsuits. While a loss from these lawsuits is reasonably possible, at this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any loss that may result or whether the lawsuits will have a material impact on our financial statements.
	On June 13, 2013, we received a voluntary document request from the Division of Enforcement of the SEC relating principally to our participation in investor and analyst meetings in the first fiscal quarter of 2012. We have produced documents and are cooperating with the SEC’s investigation, which is ongoing.
	On October 1, 2013, we received a subpoena from the District Attorney for the County of Alameda, State of California, seeking information concerning our handling of hazardous materials and hazardous waste in the State of California. We have provided information and are cooperating with the authorities from multiple counties and cities in California in connection with this ongoing matter. While a loss related to this matter is reasonably possible, at this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may arise from this matter or whether this matter will have a material impact on our financial statements.
	We are involved in other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We currently believe that each such action and claim will be resolved without a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. However, litigation involves an element of uncertainty. Future developments could cause these actions or claims to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.

	During the third quarter of 2013, we announced our intention to wind down the operations of our wholesale business during the fourth quarter of 2013. At that time, we recorded a severance charge for this exit activity. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we closed the leased facilities in which we operated our wholesale business, recorded contract termination costs, and fully paid those obligations.
	The following table summarizes the components of our wind down activities associated with our wholesale business and the activities within the related liabilities during 2014:
	(In thousands)	Severance			Contract Termination Costs			Total
	Balance at February 1, 2014	$	522		$	—		$	522

	We anticipate no additional charges associated with the wind down of the operations of our wholesale business. As the operations of the wholesale business had ceased as of February 1, 2014, the results of operations of the wholesale business were reclassified to discontinued operations. Please see the Wholesale Business section of note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
	Canadian Operations
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, we announced our intention to wind down the operations of our former Canadian segment. We conducted detailed evaluations of our long range strategic objectives and performed a preliminary review of our 2014 financial plan. As a result of this evaluation and review, we determined our Canadian operations did not fit into our strategic plan for maximizing long-term shareholder returns based on our expectations of the required investments necessary to improve our Canadian operations’ financial performance, both in the near and long-term. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we began a markdown strategy with the intent to liquidate our inventory prior to closing our stores. At February 1, 2014, we revalued our inventory at our net realizable value based on estimated cash proceeds prior to closing, which represents our estimate of its market value. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we also conducted a review of our long lived assets. We determined that the elimination of future cash flows from our operations beyond the first quarter of 2014 resulted in the impairment of our property and equipment and our tradename intangible assets. Additionally, we conducted an impairment review of our goodwill associated with our Canadian operations, determined that the goodwill had been fully impaired, and we recorded an impairment charge.
	The wind down of our Canadian operations was separated into two phases: our distribution centers and our stores. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we ceased the operations of our Canadian distribution centers, as receiving, processing, and distributing activities were completed. We recorded a severance charge of approximately $2.7 million relating to the closure of our distribution centers and certain administrative activities. Additionally, with the closure of certain leased distribution centers, we recorded contract termination costs of approximately $1.3 million.
	During the first quarter of 2014, we closed all of our stores, ceased their operations, and closed our Canadian corporate office. We recorded severance and contract termination costs of approximately $2.2 million and $23.0 million relating to the closure of our stores and our remaining administrative activities, respectively. In addition, in connection with the substantial completion of the wind down activities, we recorded a foreign currency translation loss of $5.1 million, which related to the realization of the cumulative translation adjustment on our investment in our Canadian operations.
	The following table summarizes the components of our wind down activities associated with our Canadian operations and the activities within the related liabilities during 2014:
	(In thousands)	Severance			Contract Termination Costs			Total
	Balance at February 1, 2014	$	2,420		$	1,276		$	3,696

	Balance at August 2, 2014	$	—		$	1,156		$	1,156
	During February 2014, we closed all of our Canadian stores, terminated all remaining Canadian employees, and accrued an obligation for the associated severance and contract termination costs. As of August 2, 2014, we anticipate no additional charges associated with the wind down of our Canadian operations. As our Canadian operations had ceased as of May 3, 2014, the results of our Canadian operations were reclassified to discontinued operations. Please see the Canadian Operations section of note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

	Canadian Operations
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, we announced our intention to wind down our Canadian operations. We began the wind down activities during the fourth quarter of 2013, which included the closing of our distribution centers, and completed the wind down activities during the first quarter of 2014, which included the closing of our stores and Canadian corporate offices. Therefore, we determined the results of our Canadian operations should be reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The results of our Canadian operations have historically consisted of sales of product to retail customers, the costs associated with those products, and selling and administrative expenses, including personnel, purchasing, warehousing, distribution, occupancy and overhead costs. During the year-to-date 2014, the results of our Canadian operations also included significant contract termination costs associated with the wind down of the operations. Please see the Canadian Operations section of note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the costs we incurred in connection with the wind down of our Canadian operations during the year-to-date 2014.
	In addition to the costs associated with our Canadian operations, we reclassified to discontinued operations the direct expenses incurred by our U.S. operations to facilitate the wind down. These costs primarily consist of professional fees. We also reclassified the income tax benefit that we expect our U.S. operations to generate as a result of the wind down of our Canadian operations, based on our ability to recover a worthless stock deduction in the foreseeable future. During the second quarter of 2014 and the year-to-date 2014, the amount of this income tax benefit that we recognized was approximately $3.8 million and $12.7 million, respectively.
	Wholesale Business
	During the third quarter of 2013, we announced our intention to wind down the operations of our wholesale business, within our U.S. segment. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we executed our wind down plan and ceased the operations of our wholesale business. Therefore, we determined that the results of our wholesale business should be reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The results of operations of our wholesale business primarily consisted of sales of product to wholesale customers, the costs associated with those products, and selling and administrative expenses, including personnel, purchasing, warehousing, distribution, occupancy and overhead costs. Please see the Wholesale Business section of note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the costs we incurred in connection with the wind down of our wholesale business during the year-to-date 2014.
	KB Toys Matters
	We acquired the KB Toys business from Melville Corporation (now known as CVS New York, Inc., and, together with its subsidiaries, “CVS”) in May 1996. As part of that acquisition, we provided, among other things, an indemnity to CVS with respect to any losses resulting from KB Toys' failure to pay all monies due and owing under any KB Toys lease or mortgage obligation. While we controlled the KB Toys business, we provided guarantees with respect to a limited number of additional KB Toys store leases. We sold the KB Toys business to KB Acquisition Corp. (“KBAC”), an affiliate of Bain Capital, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement. KBAC similarly agreed to indemnify us with respect to all lease and mortgage obligations. On January 14, 2004, KBAC and certain affiliated entities (collectively referred to as “KB-I”) filed for bankruptcy protection pursuant to Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code. On August 30, 2005, in connection with the acquisition by an affiliate of Prentice Capital Management of majority ownership of KB-I, KB-I emerged from its 2004 bankruptcy (the KB Toys business that emerged from bankruptcy is hereinafter referred to as “KB-II”). On December 11, 2008, KB-II filed for bankruptcy protection pursuant to Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code.
	Associated with the KB-I and KB-II bankruptcies, we believed we had exposure to certain lease obligations for which we had recorded estimated liabilities in prior years. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we received a final distribution from the KB-I bankruptcy estate. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2013, we reduced the amount of our estimated obligation associated with the KB-II bankruptcy to zero in our consolidated balance sheet. We based this reversal on the following factors: (1) we had not received any new demand letters from landlords during the past two years; (2) all prior demands against us by landlords had been settled or paid or the landlords had stopped pursuing their demands; (3) the KB-II bankruptcy occurred more than five years prior to the end of 2008 and most of the lease rejections occurred more than two years prior to the end of 2013; and (4) we believed that the likelihood of new claims against us was remote and, if incurred, the amount would be immaterial.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Selling and Administrative Expenses
	Selling and administrative expenses include store expenses (such as payroll and occupancy costs) and costs related to warehousing, distribution, outbound transportation to our stores, advertising, purchasing, insurance, non-income taxes, and overhead.  Our selling and administrative expense rates may not be comparable to those of other retailers that include distribution and outbound transportation costs in cost of sales.  Distribution and outbound transportation costs included in selling and administrative expenses were $37.3 million and $36.7 million for the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013, respectively, and $78.1 million and $75.9 million for the year-to-date 2014 and the year-to-date 2013, respectively.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The functional currency of our former international subsidiary was the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary was located. We had one foreign subsidiary domiciled in Canada. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities was included as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss in 2013. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in discontinued operations because our Canadian subsidiary has ceased operations. There were no gains or losses from foreign currency transactions for the second quarter of 2014. There were losses from foreign currency transactions of $0.1 million, $4.7 million, and $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, the year-to-date 2014, and the year-to-date 2013, respectively. Included in the foreign currency loss in the year-to-date 2014 is a $5.1 million loss related to the realization of the cumulative translation adjustment on our investment in our Canadian operations.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Reclassifications
	Wholesale Business
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, we executed our wind down plan and ceased the operations of our wholesale business.

Please see the Wholesale Business section of note 11 and note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the wind down of our wholesale business and the costs we incurred in connection with the wind down during the year-to-date 2014.
	Canadian Operations
	During the first quarter of 2014, we executed the remainder of our wind down plan and ceased the operations of our former Canadian segment.

Please see the Canadian Operations section of note 11 and note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the wind down of our Canadian operations and the costs we incurred in connection with the wind down during the year-to-date 2014.
	Merchandise Categories
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, we realigned select merchandise categories to be consistent with the realignment of our merchandising team and changes to our management reporting. We now use the following merchandise categories, which match our internal management and reporting of merchandise net sales: Food, Consumables, Soft Home, Hard Home, Furniture & Home Décor, Seasonal, and Electronics & Accessories. The Food category includes our beverage & grocery, candy & snacks, and specialty foods departments. The Consumables category includes our health and beauty, plastics, paper, chemical, and pet departments. The Soft Home category includes the fashion bedding, utility bedding, bath, window, decorative textile, and flooring departments. The Hard Home category includes our small appliances, table top, food preparation, stationery, greeting card, tools, paint, and home maintenance departments. The Furniture & Home Décor category includes our upholstery, mattress, ready-to-assemble, case goods, home décor, and frames departments. The Seasonal category includes our lawn & garden, summer, Christmas, toys, books, sporting goods, and other holiday departments.

	We periodically make minor adjustments to our product hierarchy, which can impact the roll-up of our merchandise categories. Our financial reporting process utilizes the most current product hierarchy in reporting net sales by merchandise category for all periods presented. Therefore, there may be minor reclassifications of net sales by merchandise category compared to previously reported amounts.
