NEW FINANCIAL CALENDAR

As previously announced, the Company has aligned its fiscal yearend to a traditional 52-week retail calendar, with the fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31st. This is the format used by the majority of retailers today. Changing the Company's yearend will benefit the investment community as it will allow for easier comparability between the Company and its peers. It will also allow the management team to more efficiently track and measure the Company's performance during the year.

As a result of this change, the Company will have a stub period between January 1, 2014, and February 1, 2014, that will be identified as Fiscal Year 2014 which will be reported separately in the Form 10-Q for the first quarter of Fiscal 2015. Fiscal Year 2015 will run from February 2, 2014, through January 31, 2015.
