SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy, which encourages an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows: <br /><br />Level 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities<br /><br />Level 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly<br /><br />Level 3 - inputs to the valuation techniques that are unobservable for the assets or liabilities<br /><br />Effective February 2, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and other non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.<br /><br />The following tables present the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2009, August 1, 2008, and January 30, 2009, classified by SFAS No. 157 fair value hierarchy: </p></font></div><div><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top:

When quoted prices in active markets are available, investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s Level 1 investments primarily consist of investments in money market and mutual funds. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are determined using pricing models and the inputs to those pricing models are based on observable market inputs. The inputs to the pricing models are typically benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities, among others. The Company’s Level 2 investments primarily consist of investments in municipal obligations. <br /><br />Effective January 31, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. <br /><br />The Company reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment is recorded for the amount that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company bases the fair values of long-lived assets held-for-use on the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset and on observable market data, when available. During the second quarter of 2009, certain long-lived assets, consisting primarily of excess properties, classified as held-for-use with a carrying value of $69 million were written down to their fair value resulting in an impairment charge of $25 million which was recorded in SG&A expense. The impairment charge was primarily attributable to the Company’s re-evaluation of the pipeline of potential future store sites and the decision to no longer pursue several projects. For the six months ended July 31, 2009, impairment charges of $30 million were recorded in SG&A expense.<br /><br />The following table presents the Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the second quarter of 2009, classified by SFAS No. 157 fair value hierarchy: <br /></p></font></div><div><table style="border-collapse: collapse;

The Company determines the estimated selling prices by obtaining information from brokers in the specific markets being evaluated. The information includes comparable sales of similar assets and assumptions about demand in the market for these assets.<br /><br />Effective July 31, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires that the fair value of all financial assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate fair value and are within the scope of SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, be disclosed for interim and annual periods.<br /><br />The Company’s financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and certain cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt and are reflected in the financial statements at cost. With the exception of long-term debt, cost approximates fair value for these items due to their short-term nature. Estimated fair values for long-term debt have been determined using available market information, including reported trades, benchmark yields and broker-dealer quotes. <br /><br />Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding capital leases and other, are as follows:<br /></p></font></div><div><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="20" width="183" align="left"><font size="2"> </font></td><td height="20" width="13" align="left"><font size="2"> </font></td><td width="259" align="center" colspan="3" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" height="20"><font size="2"><b>July 31, 2009</b></font></td><td height="20" width="10" align="center"><font size="2"> </font></td></tr><tr><td height="20" width="183" align="left"><font size="2"> </font></td><td height="20" width="13" align="left"><font size="2"> </font></td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" width="125"><font size="2"><b>Carrying</b></font></td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" width="13"><font size="2"><b> </b></font></td><td height="20" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" width="121"><font size="2"><b>Fair</b></font></td><td height="20" width="10" align="center"><font size="2"><b> </b></font></td></tr><tr><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="183"><font size="2">(In millions)</font></td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="13"><font size="2"> </font></td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" width="125"><font size="2"><b>Amount</b></font></td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" width="13"><font size="2"><b> </b></font></td><td height="20" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" width="121"><font size="2"><b>Value</b></font></td><td height="20" width="10" align="center"><font size="2"><b> </b></font></td></tr><tr><td height="38" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="left" width="183"><font size="2">Long-term debt (excluding capital leases and other)</font></td><td height="38" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" width="13"><font size="2">$</font></td><td height="38" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="125"><font size="2">4,736 </font></td><td height="38" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" width="13"><font size="2">$</font></td><td height="38" style="border-top: 1px solid #000000;border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;" align="right" width="121"><font size="2">5,133 </font></td><td height="38" width="10" align="right"><font size="2"> </font></td></tr></table></div></body></html>

FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. The retrospective application of the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 reduced previously reported diluted earnings per share by $0.01 for the three and six months ended August 1, 2008. <br /><br />Under the two-class method, net earnings are reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the period for each class of common stock and participating security. The remaining undistributed earnings are then allocated to common stock and participating securities as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net earnings allocable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings allocable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares as of the balance sheet date, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards and convertible notes. The following table reconciles earnings per common share for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, and August 1, 2008.</p></font></div><div><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top:

Under the agreement, the Company will be one-third owner of the destination home improvement chain. During the first four years, the Company estimates that it will invest approximately $100 million per year in the venture, with that amount varying depending on how rapidly stores come online.  </p></font></div></body></html>
<html><head><meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /></head><body><div><font size="2"><p>Note 9: Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”, which clarifies that management must evaluate, as of each reporting period, events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but did require the Company to disclose the date through which management had evaluated subsequent events. <br /><br />In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”, which amends the derecognition guidance in Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 166 is effective for financial asset transfers occurring in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 166 on its consolidated financial statements.<br /><br />In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, which amends the consolidation guidance that applies to variable interest entities. SFAS No. 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 167 on its consolidated financial statements.<br /><br />In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. Under SFAS No. 168, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) will become the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption will have no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will require that interim and annual filings include references to the Codification. </p></font></div></body></html>
