	The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which include The Gymboree Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) and our 100%-owned subsidiaries, as well as Gymboree (China) Commercial and Trading Co. Ltd. (“Gymboree China”) and Gymboree (Tianjin) Educational Information Consultation Co. Ltd. (“Gymboree Tianjin”) (collectively, the “VIEs”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2015.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 (“first quarter of fiscal 2015”) are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the 52-week period ending January 30, 2016 (“fiscal 2015”) or any future period.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments do not affect the current guidance on the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. This ASU would be applied retrospectively to all prior periods and is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will require the Company to reclassify deferred financing costs, currently presented as assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and net those costs with long-term debt. This ASU will have no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations or its liquidity.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, to provide guidance on principles and definitions to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures when evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. This ASU is effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets). In April 2015, the FASB proposed a deferral of this ASU’s effective date by one year, to December 15, 2017. The proposed deferral allows early adoption at the original effective date. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair_Value_Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended
	2-May-15
Fair Value Measurements	3. Fair Value Measurements
	We record our money market funds, interest rate caps and forward foreign exchange contracts at fair value. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Accounting guidance prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 – Inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be derived from observable market data.
	Level 3 – Inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. Valuation techniques could include the use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
	In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety is classified is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	The tables below present our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 2, 2015, January 31, 2015 and May 3, 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands). There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, or for the year ended January 31, 2015.

	Total	$	900	$	533	$	—	$	1,433
	Our cash equivalents, which are primarily placed in money market funds, are valued at their original purchase prices plus interest that has accrued at the stated rate.
	The fair value of our interest rate caps was determined using the market standard methodology of discounting future cash receipts. The variable cash receipts were based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves and volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, were incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. In adjusting the fair value of these contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered any applicable credit enhancements such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
	Although we have determined the majority of the inputs used to value our interest rate caps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with these derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of May 2, 2015, January 31, 2015 and May 3, 2014, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our interest rate cap positions and determined the credit valuation adjustment was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, we classified our interest rate caps derivative valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	The fair value of our forward foreign exchange contracts was determined using the market approach and Level 2 inputs. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities.
	The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables balances approximate their estimated fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments. We estimate the fair value of our long-term debt using current market yields. These current market yields are considered Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is as follows (in thousands):
		May 2, 2015				January 31, 2015				May 3, 2014
		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

	We had no other financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value as of May 2, 2015, January 31, 2015 and May 3, 2014.
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
	Our non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, non-financial assets are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written-down to and recorded at fair value, considering external market participant assumptions. We recorded no impairment charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and 2014.

Line of Credit	5. Line of Credit
	We have a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL”) that provides financing of up to $225 million, subject to a borrowing base. Availability under the ABL is subject to the assets of the Company, any subsidiary co-borrowers and any subsidiary guarantors that are available to collateralize the borrowings thereunder, and is reduced by the level of outstanding letters of credit. Line of credit borrowings outstanding under the ABL as of May 2, 2015, January 31, 2015 and May 3, 2014 were $42.0 million, $33.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. Amounts available under the ABL are reduced by letter of credit utilization totaling $38.1 million as of May 2, 2015. Undrawn availability under the ABL, after being reduced by outstanding borrowings and letter of credit utilization, was $90.8 million as of May 2, 2015. Average borrowings under the ABL for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014 amounted to $54.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Average borrowings under the ABL for the year ended January 31, 2015 amounted to $32.0 million. Principal amounts outstanding under the ABL are due and payable in full in March 2017.
	Borrowings under the ABL bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%, or (b) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs (“Adjusted LIBOR”), in each case plus an applicable margin. As of May 2, 2015, the interest rate was 5.5% on the first $12.0 million of line of credit borrowings outstanding under the ABL and 4.0% on the remaining $30.0 million of line of credit borrowings outstanding under the ABL. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the ABL, we are required to pay a commitment fee on unutilized commitments thereunder, which is 0.375% per annum under the amended ABL. The ABL provides us the right to request up to $125 million of additional commitments under this facility (or, if less, the amount permitted under the Term Loan described in Note 6), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
	If at any time the aggregate amount of outstanding loans, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the ABL exceeds the lesser of (a) the commitment amount and (b) the borrowing base, we will be required to repay outstanding loans and/or cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with no reduction of the commitment amount. The ABL Facility contains financial and other covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends. The ABL Facility also contains a financial covenant that is tested when availability under the facility falls below a specified threshold. As of May 2, 2015, we were not required to test compliance with this covenant. The obligations under the ABL are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of our assets. Our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed our obligations under the ABL.

	Long-term debt	$	1,114,127		$	1,114,048	$	1,113,817
	Term Loan
	We have an agreement with several lenders for an $820 million senior secured Term Loan, with a maturity date of February 2018. The Term Loan allows us to request additional tranches of term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, provided such amount will be subject to reduction by the amount of any additional commitments incurred under the ABL described in Note 5. The interest rate for borrowings under the Term Loan is, at our option, a base rate plus an additional marginal rate of 2.5% or the Adjusted LIBOR rate (with a 1.5% floor) plus an additional rate of 3.5%. As of May 2, 2015, the interest rate under our Term Loan was 5%.
	The Term Loan requires us to make quarterly payments equal to 0.25% of the original $820 million principal amount of the Term Loan made on the closing date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, with the balance due in February 2018. The Term Loan also has mandatory and voluntary pre-payment provisions, including a requirement that we prepay the Term Loan with a certain percentage of our annual excess cash flow. We calculated our excess cash flow using fiscal 2014 operating results and concluded we are not required to make any excess cash flow payments on the Term Loan during fiscal 2015. Excess cash flow payments on the Term Loan for fiscal 2016 will be calculated with our fiscal 2015 annual operating results. Voluntary prepayments and the excess cash flow prepayments made in prior fiscal years were applied toward our remaining quarterly amortization payments payable under the Term Loan through fiscal 2016. Our next quarterly payment payable under the Term Loan is due in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
	The obligations under the Term Loan are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of our assets and those of our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries. Our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries also have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Term Loan.
	Notes
	In fiscal 2010, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 9.125% senior notes due in December 2018 (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually. If the Company or our subsidiaries sell certain assets, we generally must either invest the net cash proceeds from such sale in our business within a certain period of time, use the proceeds to prepay senior secured debt, or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the Notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change in control, we may also be required to make an offer to purchase all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon at least 30 days prior notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 1 of each of the years indicated below:
	Year	Percentage
	2014		104.563	%
	2015		102.281	%
	2016 and thereafter		100	%
	The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of The Gymboree Corporation. The Company’s 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Notes (see Note 15). The guarantees of the Notes are joint and several and will terminate upon the following circumstances: (A) the sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of (x) the capital stock of the guarantor providing the applicable guarantee, if after such sale, exchange, disposition or transfer such guarantor is no longer a subsidiary of The Gymboree Corporation, or (y) all or substantially all of the assets of such guarantor, (B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such guarantor of the other indebtedness which resulted in the creation of the subsidiary guarantee by such guarantor under the Indenture, (C) the designation of such guarantor as an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the Indenture or (D) the legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, in each such case specified in clauses (A) through (D) above in accordance with the requirements therefore set forth in the Indenture.
	Future minimum principal payments on long-term debt, excluding accretion of original issue discount (“OID”) of $1.0 million as of May 2, 2015, are as follows (in thousands):

	Interest Expense on Long-Term Debt and ABL
	Total interest expense reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations includes interest expense on long-term debt and borrowings under the ABL of $21.0 million and $20.4 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of OID are also included in interest expense.
	Deferred Financing Costs and OID
	Deferred financing costs allocated to the Term Loan and Notes are amortized over the term of the related financing agreements using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs allocated to the ABL are amortized on a straight-line basis over 6.4 years. The weighted-average remaining amortization period is approximately 3.0 years as of May 2, 2015. Amortization of deferred financing costs is recorded in interest expense and was $1.8 million and $1.7 million during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, respectively. Accretion of OID, which was not material for both the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, is also recorded in interest expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments	7. Derivative Financial Instruments
	We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts with respect to certain purchases in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”) of inventory to be sold in our retail stores in Canada. The purpose of these contracts is to protect our margins on the eventual sale of the inventory from fluctuations in the exchange rate for Canadian and U.S. dollars. The term of these forward foreign exchange contracts is generally less than one year. These contracts are treated as cash-flow hedges. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these forward foreign exchange contracts will be reclassified to COGS over a three-month period. We also enter into forward foreign exchange contracts with respect to short-term intercompany balances between U.S. and foreign entities in Canada and Australia. The purpose of these contracts is to protect us from fluctuations in the exchange rates upon the settlement of such balances. These contracts are not designated as hedges. Consequently, changes in the fair value of these contracts are included in other income.
	In December 2010, we paid approximately $12.1 million to enter into interest rate caps to hedge against rising interest rates associated with the $700 million principal of our Term Loan (see Note 6) above the strike rate of the cap through December 23, 2016, the maturity date of the caps. The interest rate caps were designated on the date of execution as cash-flow hedges. The premium, and any related amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, are being amortized to interest expense through December 23, 2016, as interest payments are made on the underlying Term Loan. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014, respectively, we reclassified approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. We estimate approximately $4.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense within the next 12 months.
	For a derivative instrument designated as a cash-flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged exposure is recognized in earnings. Gains or losses on the derivative representing either hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness or hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in earnings.
	We had the following outstanding derivatives designated as cash flow hedges (U.S. dollars in thousands):

	In addition to the cash flow hedges described above, the Company was party to one forward foreign exchange contract with a notional amount of $12.2 million that was not designated as a hedge as of May 3, 2014. The Company was not a party to any forward foreign exchange contracts that were not designated as hedges as of May 2, 2015 and January 31, 2015.

	As of May 2, 2015, January 31, 2015 and May 3, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits were $6.8 million, $5.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively. We believe it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $6.8 million as of May 2, 2015 will decrease by as much as $0.7 million during the next twelve months due to the resolution of certain tax contingencies and lapses of applicable statutes of limitations.
	As of May 2, 2015, January 31, 2015 and May 3, 2014, the total valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was $67.3 million, $58.6 million and $35.5 million, respectively. We establish a valuation allowance when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider all available positive and negative evidence in evaluating whether a valuation allowance is required, including prior earnings history, actual earnings over the previous 12 quarters on a cumulative basis, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset. We continue to have a valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets in U.S. federal, unitary U.S. state and Australian jurisdictions, excluding indefinite-lived deferred tax assets and liabilities, and against the tax benefit on losses from our VIEs. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.

	Contingencies
	From time to time, we are subject to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these legal actions raise complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to uncertainties. We cannot predict with reasonable assurance the outcome of these legal actions brought against us. Accordingly, any settlements or resolutions in these legal actions may occur and affect our net income in the quarter of such settlement or resolution. However, we do not believe the outcome of any legal actions would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Segment Information	13. Segment Information
	We have four reportable segments: retail stores (including online stores), Gymboree Play & Music, International Retail Franchise (“Retail Franchise”), and one reportable segment related to the activities of our consolidated VIEs. These reportable segments were identified based on how our business is managed and evaluated by our chief operating decision maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer. The retail stores segment includes four operating segments (brands), which sell high-quality apparel for children: Gymboree Retail (including an online store), Gymboree Outlet, Janie and Jack (including an online store), and Crazy 8 (including an online store). These four operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment because these operating segments have similar historical economic characteristics and/or are expected to have similar economic characteristics and similar long-term financial performance in the future. Gross profit is the principal measure we consider in determining whether the economic characteristics are similar. In addition, each operating segment has similar products, production processes and type and class of customer. We believe disaggregating our operating segments would not provide material additional information. Corporate overhead (costs related to our distribution centers and shared corporate services) is included in the retail stores segment.

Variable Interest Entities	14. Variable Interest Entities
	Gymboree retail stores are operated in China by Gymboree China, while Gymboree Tianjin is Gymboree Play & Music’s master franchisee in China. Gymboree China, Gymboree Tianjin and the Company are indirectly controlled by Gymboree Holding, Ltd. and investment funds sponsored by Bain Capital. Gymboree China and Gymboree Tianjin have been determined to be variable interest entities, and we (as well as our 100%-owned subsidiaries) are a member of a related party group that controls the VIEs and absorbs the economics of the VIEs. Based on our relationship with the VIEs, we determined we are most closely associated with the VIEs, and therefore, consolidate them as the primary beneficiary. However, as we have a 0% ownership interest in the VIEs, 100% of the results of operations of the VIEs are recorded as noncontrolling interest. The assets of the VIEs can only be used by the VIEs. The liabilities of the VIEs are comprised mainly of short-term accrued expenses, and their creditors have no recourse to our general credit or assets.
	The following tables reflect the impact of the VIEs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2015 and May 3, 2014 and the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of May 2, 2015, January 31, 2015 and May 3, 2014 (in thousands):

Condensed Guarantor Data	15. Condensed Guarantor Data
	The Company’s 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Notes, subject to the customary automatic release provisions described above (see Note 6). The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial position and cash flows of The Gymboree Corporation and the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The VIEs financial results are included in those of the non-guarantor subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our Canadian subsidiary, which is part of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, issued common shares to The Gymboree Corporation valued at $18.5 million. No cash was exchanged since we immediately net settled $15.3 million and $3.2 million of intercompany liabilities payable to The Gymboree Corporation related to business operations and to our Advance Pricing Agreement between the United States and Canadian tax authorities, respectively. The $18.5 million is a non-cash investing and financing activity for purposes of condensed consolidating statements of cash flows.

The Company and its guarantor subsidiaries participate in a cash pooling program. As part of this program, cash balances are generally swept on a daily basis between the guarantor subsidiary bank accounts and those of the Company. In addition, we pay expenses on behalf of our guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries on a regular basis. These types of transactions have been accounted for as intercompany transfers within investing and financing activities.
The Company’s transactions include interest, tax payments and intercompany sales transactions related to administrative costs incurred by the Company, which are billed to guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries on a cost plus basis. All intercompany transactions are presumed to be settled in cash and therefore are included in operating activities. Non-operating cash flow changes have been classified as investing and financing activities.
