&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
November&amp;#xA0;17, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company
declared a dividend, payable to stockholders of record on
November&amp;#xA0;27, 2009 of one right (a Right) per each share of
outstanding Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share
(Common Stock), to purchase 1/1000th of a share of Series I
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the
Preferred Stock), at a price of $100.00 per share (such amount, as
may be adjusted from time to time as provided in the Rights
Agreement described below, the Purchase Price). In connection
therewith, on November&amp;#xA0;17, 2009, the Company entered into a
Rights Agreement, dated November&amp;#xA0;17, 2009 (as amended
February&amp;#xA0;17, 2010,&amp;#xA0;June&amp;#xA0;23,
2010,&amp;#xA0;October&amp;#xA0;29, 2010 and August&amp;#xA0;18, 2011 and as
may be further amended from time to time, the Rights Agreement)
with Mellon Investor Services LLC, as Rights Agent. The Rights will
be exercisable upon the earlier of (i)&amp;#xA0;such date the Company
learns that a person or group, without Board approval, acquires or
obtains the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of
the Company&amp;#x2019;s outstanding common stock or a person or group
that already beneficially owns 20% or more of the Company&amp;#x2019;s
outstanding common stock at the time the Rights Agreement was
entered into, without Board approval, acquires any additional
shares (other than pursuant to the Company&amp;#x2019;s compensation or
benefit plans) (any person or group specified in this sentence, an
Acquiring Person) and (ii)&amp;#xA0;such date a person or group
announces an intention to commence or following the commencement of
(as designated by the Board) a tender or exchange offer which could
result in the beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s outstanding common stock. The Rights will expire on
November&amp;#xA0;17, 2012, unless earlier redeemed or canceled by the
Company. If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each
Rights holder (other than the Acquiring Person) will be entitled to
receive, upon exercise of the Right and payment of the Purchase
Price, that number of 1/1000ths of a share of Preferred Stock equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock which at the time of the
applicable triggering transaction would have a market value of
twice the Purchase Price. In the event the Company is acquired in a
merger or other business combination by an Acquiring Person, or 50%
or more of the Company&amp;#x2019;s assets are sold to an Acquiring
Person, each Right will entitle its holder (other than an Acquiring
Person) to purchase common shares in the surviving entity at 50% of
the market price.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On May&amp;#xA0;15,
2007, the Company&amp;#x2019;s Board of Directors authorized a stock
repurchase program for the purchase of up to $400,000 of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock. The maximum dollar value of common
stock that may yet be purchased under the current program is
approximately $2,471 as of April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012. Stock repurchases
under this program may be made through open market and privately
negotiated transactions from time to time and in such amounts as
management deems appropriate. As of April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012, the
Company has repurchased 33,722,264 shares at a cost of
approximately $1,058,282 under its stock repurchase programs. The
repurchased shares are held in treasury.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The calculation
of stock-based employee compensation expense involves estimates
that require management&amp;#x2019;s judgment. These estimates include
the fair value of each of the stock option awards granted, which is
estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model. There are two significant inputs into the Black-Scholes
option pricing model: expected volatility and expected term. The
Company estimates expected volatility based on traded option
volatility of the Company&amp;#x2019;s stock over a term equal to the
expected term of the option granted. The expected term of stock
option awards granted is derived from historical exercise
experience under the Company&amp;#x2019;s stock option plans and
represents the period of time that stock option awards granted are
expected to be outstanding. The assumptions used in calculating the
fair value of stock-based payment awards represent
management&amp;#x2019;s best estimates, but these estimates involve
inherent uncertainties and the application of management&amp;#x2019;s
judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses
different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be
materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is
required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate, and only
recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the
Company&amp;#x2019;s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from
its estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be
significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the
current period. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
leases retail stores, warehouse facilities, office space and
equipment. Substantially all of the B&amp;amp;N Retail stores are
leased under noncancelable agreements which expire at various dates
through 2036 with various renewal options for additional periods.
The agreements, which have been classified as operating leases,
generally provide for both minimum and percentage rentals and
require the Company to pay insurance, taxes and other maintenance
costs. Percentage rentals are based on sales performance in excess
of specified minimums at various stores.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
provides for minimum rent expense over the lease terms (including
the build-out period) on a straight-line basis. The excess of such
rent expense over actual lease payments (net of tenant allowances)
is reflected primarily in other long-term liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
June&amp;#xA0;26, 2008, the Company exercised its purchase option under
a lease on one of its distribution facilities located in South
Brunswick, New Jersey from the New Jersey Economic Development
Authority. Under the terms of the lease expiring in June 2011, the
Company purchased the distribution facility and equipment for
approximately $21,000. Subsequently, on December&amp;#xA0;29, 2011, the
Company sold the distribution facility in South Brunswick, New
Jersey for $18,000, which resulted in a loss of $2,178.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Prior to
year-end, the Company reported an operating segment titled
B&amp;amp;N.com which included both its digital business and eCommerce
operations. Due to the increased focus on the digital business and
the Company&amp;#x2019;s recently developed ability to review the
digital business separate from its eCommerce business, the Company
performed an evaluation on the effect of its impact on the
identification of operating segments. The assessment considered the
way the business is managed (focusing on the financial information
distributed) and the manner in which the chief operating decision
maker interacts with other members of management. As a result of
this assessment, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 the
Company has determined that the segment previously referred to as
B&amp;amp;N.com is no longer applicable and has created a new segment
titled NOOK to report upon its digital business, moving the
eCommerce business (i.e., sales of physical merchandise over the
Internet) into the B&amp;amp;N Retail segment. Also as a result of this
assessment, certain corporate office and other costs have been
allocated to all three segments. The Company&amp;#x2019;s three
operating segments are: B&amp;amp;N Retail, B&amp;amp;N College and
NOOK.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Other long-term
liabilities consist primarily of deferred rent and obligations
under the Junior Seller Note (see Notes 14 and 19). The Company
provides for minimum rent expense over the lease terms (including
the build-out period) on a straight-line basis. The excess of such
rent expense over actual lease payments (net of tenant allowances)
is classified as deferred rent. Other long-term liabilities also
include accrued pension liabilities, store closing expenses and
long-term deferred revenues. The Company had the following
long-term liabilities at April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012,&amp;#xA0;April&amp;#xA0;30,
2011 and May&amp;#xA0;1, 2010:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
April&amp;#xA0;27, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment (the
2012 Amended Credit Facility) to its existing agreement with Bank
of America, N.A. entered into on April&amp;#xA0;29, 2011, as
administrative agent, collateral agent and swing line lender, and
other lenders in order to permit the transactions contemplated by
the investment agreement among the Company, Morrison Investment
Holdings, Inc., and Microsoft Corporation (See Note 11) and to make
certain other changes to the Company&amp;#x2019;s 2011 Amended Credit
Agreement in connection therewith.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
April&amp;#xA0;29, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and
restated credit agreement (the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement) with
Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent
and swing&amp;#xA0;line&amp;#xA0;lender,&amp;#xA0;and&amp;#xA0;other lenders, which
amended and restated the credit agreement (the 2009 Credit
Agreement) entered into on September&amp;#xA0;30, 2009 with Bank of
America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and
swing&amp;#xA0;line&amp;#xA0;lender,&amp;#xA0;and&amp;#xA0;other lenders. Under the
2011 Amended Credit Agreement, Lenders provided up to $1,000,000 in
aggregate commitments under a five-year asset-backed revolving
credit facility, which is secured by eligible inventory with the
ability to include eligible real estate and accounts receivable and
related assets. Borrowings under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement
were limited to a specified percentage of eligible inventories and
accounts receivable and accrued interest, at the election of the
Company, at Base Rate or LIBO Rate, plus, in each case, an
Applicable Margin (each term as defined in the 2011 Amended Credit
Agreement). In addition,&amp;#xA0;the Company has the option to request
an increase in commitments under the 2011 Amended Credit Agreement
by up to $300,000, subject to certain restrictions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The 2011 Amended Credit
Agreement requires Availability (as defined in the 2011 Amended
Credit Agreement) to be greater than the greater of (i)&amp;#xA0;10%
of&amp;#xA0;the Loan Cap&amp;#xA0;(as defined in the 2011 Amended Credit
Agreement)&amp;#xA0;and (ii)&amp;#xA0;$50,000. In addition, the 2011
Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit, among other
things, the Company&amp;#x2019;s ability to incur indebtedness, create
liens, make investments, make restricted payments, merge or acquire
assets, and contains default provisions that are typical for this
type of financing, among other things. Proceeds from the 2011
Amended Credit Facility are used for general corporate purposes,
including seasonal working capital needs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;As a result of the 2011
Amended Credit Agreement, $6,580 of deferred financing fees related
to the 2009 Credit Facility were written off in fiscal 2011, and
included in net interest expenses. The remaining unamortized
deferred costs of $16,341 and new charges of $10,180 relating to
the Company&amp;#x2019;s 2011 Amended Credit Facility were deferred and
are being amortized over the five-year term of the 2011 Amended
Credit Facility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In accordance
with ASC 260-10-45, &lt;i&gt;Share-Based Payment Arrangements and
Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method,&lt;/i&gt; the
Company&amp;#x2019;s unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted
stock units and shares issuable under the Company&amp;#x2019;s deferred
compensation plan are considered participating securities. During
periods of net income, the calculation of earnings per share for
common stock are reclassified to exclude the income attributable to
the unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted stock units and
shares issuable under the Company&amp;#x2019;s deferred compensation
plan from the numerator and exclude the dilutive impact of those
shares from the denominator.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;During periods
of net loss, no effect is given to the participating securities
because they do not share in the losses of the Company. Due to the
net loss during fiscal 2012 and 2011, participating securities in
the amounts of 3,463 and 3,228, respectively, were excluded in the
calculation of loss per share using the two-class method because
the effect would be antidilutive. The Company&amp;#x2019;s outstanding
stock options and accretion/payments of dividends on preferred
shares were also excluded from the calculation of loss per share
using the two-class method because the effect would be
antidilutive.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Revenue from
sales of the Company&amp;#x2019;s products is recognized at the time of
sale, other than those with multiple elements and FOB destination
point shipping terms. The Company&amp;#x2019;s products are considered
delivered once they have been shipped and title and risk of loss
have transferred. While the majority of the Company&amp;#x2019;s
shipping terms are FOB shipping point, there are certain third
party distribution partners with shipping terms of FOB destination
point. Certain of the Company sales agreements with these
distribution partners contain rights of inspection or acceptance
provisions as is standard in the Company&amp;#x2019;s industry. The
Company accrues for estimated sales returns in the period in which
the related revenue is recognized based on historical experience
and industry standards. Sales taxes collected from retail customers
are excluded from reported revenues. All of the Company&amp;#x2019;s
sales are recognized as revenue on a &amp;#x201C;net&amp;#x201D; basis,
including sales in connection with any periodic promotions offered
to customers. The Company does not treat any promotional offers as
expenses.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

products that contain software that is essential to the tangible
product&amp;#x2019;s functionality, undelivered software elements that
relate to the tangible product&amp;#x2019;s essential software and other
separable elements, the Company allocates revenue to all
deliverables using the relative selling-price method. Under this
method, revenue is allocated at the time of sale to all
deliverables based on their relative selling price using a specific
hierarchy. The hierarchy is as follows: vendor-specific objective
evidence, third-party evidence of selling price, or best estimate
of selling price. NOOK&amp;#x2122; eBook Reader revenue (which includes
revenue from the Company&amp;#x2019;s NOOK&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline"&gt;&amp;#xAE;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

the Company allocates revenue based on the best estimate of selling
price for the deliverables as no vendor-specific objective evidence
or third-party evidence exists for any of the elements. Revenue
allocated to NOOK&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline"&gt;&amp;#xAE;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
and the software essential to its functionality is recognized at
the time of sale, provided all other conditions for revenue

deferred revenue as of April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012 and April&amp;#xA0;30, 2011
was $19,785 and $18,184, respectively. These amounts are classified
on the Company&amp;#x2019;s balance sheet in accrued liabilities for the

a commission on the content sales sold through that device. The
Company accounts for these transactions as a reduction in the sales
price of the NOOK&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline"&gt;&amp;#xAE;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
based on historical trends of content sales and a liability is
established for the estimated commission expected to be paid over
the life of the product. The Company recognizes revenue of the
content at the point of sale of the content. The Company records
revenue from sales of digital content, sales of third-party
extended warranties, service contracts and other products, for
which the Company is not obligated to perform, and for which the
Company does not meet the criteria for gross revenue recognition
under ASC 605-45-45, &lt;i&gt;Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal
versus Net as an Agent&lt;/i&gt;, on a net basis. All other revenue is
recognized on a gross basis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;NOOK acquires
the rights to distribute digital content from publishers and
distributes the content on barnesandnoble.com, NOOK&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline"&gt;&amp;#xAE;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
devices and other eBookstore platforms. Certain digital content is
distributed under an agency pricing model in which the publishers
set fixed prices for eBooks and NOOK receives a fixed commission on
content sold through the eBookstore. The majority of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s eBook sales are sold under the agency
model.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The costs in
excess of net assets of businesses acquired are carried as goodwill
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;At
April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012, the Company had $519,685 of goodwill and
$314,736 of unamortizable intangible assets (those with an
indefinite useful life), accounting for approximately 22.2% of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s total assets. ASC 350-30, &lt;i&gt;Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets&lt;/i&gt;, requires that goodwill and other
unamortizable intangible assets no longer be amortized, but instead
be tested for impairment at least annually or earlier if there are
impairment indicators. The Company performs a two-step process for
impairment testing of goodwill as required by ASC 350-30. The first
step of this test, used to identify potential impairment, compares
the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The
second step (if necessary) measures the amount of the impairment.
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of the
first day of the third quarter of fiscal 2012. In performing the
valuations, the Company used cash flows that reflected
management&amp;#x2019;s forecasts and discount rates that included risk
adjustments consistent with the current market conditions. Based on
the results of the Company&amp;#x2019;s step one testing, the fair
values of the B&amp;amp;N Retail, B&amp;amp;N College and B&amp;amp;N.com
reporting units as of that date exceeded their carrying values;
therefore, the second step of the impairment test was not required
to be performed and no goodwill impairment was recognized. During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 the Company has determined that
the segment previously referred to as B&amp;amp;N.com is no longer
applicable and created a new segment titled NOOK to report upon its
digital business, moving the eCommerce business (i.e., sales of
physical merchandise over the Internet) into the B&amp;amp;N Retail
segment. The Company&amp;#x2019;s three operating segments are: B&amp;amp;N
Retail, B&amp;amp;N College and NOOK. As a result of this evaluation,
$20,279 of goodwill was re-allocated between B&amp;amp;N Retail and
NOOK segments. There were no subsequent indicators of impairment
prior to or after the reallocation of goodwill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
tests unamortizable intangible assets by comparing the fair value
and the carrying value of such assets. The Company also completed
its annual impairment tests for its other unamortizable intangible
assets by comparing the estimated fair value to the carrying value
of such assets and determined that no impairment was necessary.
Changes in market conditions, among other factors, could have a
material impact on these estimates, except for the Company&amp;#x2019;s
publishing contracts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Publishing
contracts include the value of long-standing relationships with
authors, agents and publishers established upon the Company&amp;#x2019;s
acquisition of Sterling in 2003. Given Sterling&amp;#x2019;s strong
history of maintaining such relationships, the Company believes
they produce value indefinitely without an identifiable remaining
useful life. However, given recent declines in the physical book
business, these contracts were at risk of impairment as of its most
recent impairment testing date and may be at risk in the future if
declines in sales continue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
April&amp;#xA0;27, 2012, the Company entered into an investment
agreement among the Company, Morrison Investment Holdings, Inc.
(Morrison), and Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft) pursuant to which
the Company will form a Delaware limited liability company (NewCo),
and transfer to NewCo the Company&amp;#x2019;s digital device, digital
content and college bookstore businesses and NewCo will sell to
Morrison, and Morrison will purchase, 300,000 convertible preferred
membership interests in NewCo (Series A Preferred) for an aggregate
purchase price of $300,000.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Concurrently
with its entry into this agreement, the Company has also entered
into a commercial agreement with Microsoft, pursuant to which,
among other things, NewCo will develop and distribute a Windows 8
application for e-reading and digital content purchases, and an
intellectual property license and settlement agreement with
Microsoft and Microsoft Licensing GP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1px"&gt;
&amp;#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The closing
conditions are set forth in the definitive documents between the
parties. While there can be no assurance that the transaction will
close or close by a particular date certain, the Company is
actively pursuing work in connection with the closing conditions
and is working to try and complete the required conditions prior to
the required date set forth in the definitive agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 4%"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Investment Agreement&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Pursuant to the
agreement, Microsoft would invest $300,000 in NewCo in exchange for
300,000 Series A Preferred interest, representing approximately
17.6% of the common membership interest in NewCo on an as-converted
basis. Following Microsoft&amp;#x2019;s investment, the Company would
retain the common membership interest in NewCo, representing
approximately 82.4% of the common membership interests in NewCo
(after giving effect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred
interests into common membership interests).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 4%"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Commercial Agreement&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Under the
commercial agreement, NewCo will develop certain applications for
Windows 8 for purchasing the consumption of digital reading
content. The commercial agreement also requires NewCo to use its
good faith efforts to undertake an international expansion of the
digital business.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;As part of the
commercial agreement, NewCo and Microsoft would share in the
revenues, net of certain items, from digital content purchased from
NewCo by customers using the NewCo Windows 8 applications or
through certain Microsoft products and services that may be
developed in the future and are designed to interact with the NewCo
online bookstore. Microsoft will make certain nonrefundable advance
payments to NewCo in connection with such revenue sharing. For each
of the first three years after the launch of such application for
Windows 8, these advance payments would be equal to $60,000 per
year. These advance payments would be subject to deferral under
certain circumstances. Microsoft would also pay to NewCo $25,000
each year for the first five years of the term for purposes of
assisting NewCo in acquiring local digital reading content and
technology development in the performance of NewCo&amp;#x2019;s
obligations under the commercial agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 4%"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Settlement and License Agreement&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The patent
agreement provides for Microsoft and its subsidiaries to license to
the Company and its affiliates certain intellectual property in
exchange for royalty payments based on sales of certain devices.
Additionally, the Company and Microsoft will dismiss certain
outstanding patent litigation between the Company, Microsoft and
their respective affiliates in accordance with the settlement and
license agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
sells gift cards which can be used in its stores or on
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble.com. The Company does not charge
administrative or dormancy fees on gift cards and gift cards have
no expiration dates. Upon the purchase of a gift card, a liability
is established for its cash value. Revenue associated with gift
cards is deferred until redemption of the gift card. Over time,
some portion of the gift cards issued is not redeemed. The Company
estimates the portion of the gift card liability for which the
likelihood of redemption is remote based upon the Company&amp;#x2019;s
historical redemption patterns. The Company records this amount in
income on a straight-line basis over a 12-month period beginning in
the 13th month after the month the gift card was originally sold.
If actual redemption patterns vary from the Company&amp;#x2019;s
estimates, actual gift card breakage may differ from the amounts
recorded. The Company recognized gift card breakage of $29,284,
$25,904 and $21,328 during fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal
2010, respectively. The Company had gift card liabilities of
$321,362 and $311,092 as of April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012 and April&amp;#xA0;30,
2011, respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;As of
December&amp;#xA0;31, 1999, substantially all employees of the Company
were covered under a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
(the Pension Plan). As of January&amp;#xA0;1, 2000, the Pension Plan
was amended so that employees no longer earn benefits for
subsequent service. Effective December&amp;#xA0;31, 2004, the
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble.com Employees&amp;#x2019; Retirement Plan (the
B&amp;amp;N.com Retirement Plan) was merged with the Pension Plan.
Substantially all employees of Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble.com were
covered under the B&amp;amp;N.com Retirement Plan. As of July&amp;#xA0;1,
2000, the B&amp;amp;N.com Retirement Plan was amended so that employees
no longer earn benefits for subsequent service. Subsequent service
continues to be the basis for vesting of benefits not yet vested at
December&amp;#xA0;31, 1999 and June&amp;#xA0;30, 2000 for the Pension Plan
and the B&amp;amp;N.com Retirement Plan, respectively, and the Pension
Plan will continue to hold assets and pay benefits. The actuarial
assumptions used to calculate pension costs are reviewed annually.
Pension expense was $1,970, $2,558 and $1,951 for fiscal 2012,
fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
maintains a defined contribution plan (the Savings Plan) for the
benefit of substantially all employees. Total Company contributions
charged to employee benefit expenses for the Savings Plan were
$15,273, $14,212 and $12,954 during fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and
fiscal 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company provides
certain health care and life insurance benefits (the Postretirement
Plan) to retired employees, limited to those receiving benefits or
retired as of April&amp;#xA0;1, 1993. Total Company contributions
charged to employee benefit expenses for the Postretirement Plan
were $150, $150 and ($111) during fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and
fiscal 2010, respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Proceedings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company is
involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and
proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of
its business, including actions with respect to contracts,
intellectual property, taxation, employment, benefits, securities,
personal injuries and other matters. The results of these
proceedings in the ordinary course of business are not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated
financial position or results of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that
a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be
reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly,
developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of
liability that has been previously accrued and makes adjustments as
appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both
probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss.
The Company may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably
possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency
for various reasons, including, among others: (i)&amp;#xA0;if the
damages sought are indeterminate; (ii)&amp;#xA0;if proceedings are in
the early stages; (iii)&amp;#xA0;if there is uncertainty as to the
outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals);
(iv)&amp;#xA0;if there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of
settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect
thereto; (v)&amp;#xA0;if there are significant factual issues to be
determined or resolved; (vi)&amp;#xA0;if the proceedings involve a
large number of parties; (vii)&amp;#xA0;if relevant law is unsettled or
novel or untested legal theories are presented; or (viii)&amp;#xA0;if
the proceedings are taking place in jurisdictions where the laws
are complex or unclear. In such instances, there is considerable
uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters,
including a possible eventual loss, if any. With respect to the
legal matters described below, the Company has determined, based on
its current knowledge, that the amount of loss or range of loss,
that is reasonably possible including any reasonably possible
losses in excess of amounts already accrued, is not reasonably
estimable. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and
subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the
Company&amp;#x2019;s control. As such, there can be no assurance that
the final outcome of these matters will not materially and
adversely affect the Company&amp;#x2019;s business, financial condition,
results of operations, or cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The following
is a discussion of the material legal matters involving the
Company.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Minor v.
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble Booksellers, Inc. et al.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On May&amp;#xA0;1,
2009, a purported class action complaint was filed against B&amp;amp;N
Booksellers, Inc.&amp;#xA0;in the Superior Court for the State of
California alleging wage payments by instruments in a form that did
not comply with the requirements of the California Labor Code,
allegedly resulting in impermissible wage payment reductions and
calling for imposition of statutory penalties. The complaint also
alleges a violation of the California Labor Code&amp;#x2019;s Private
Attorneys General Act and seeks restitution of such allegedly
unpaid wages under California&amp;#x2019;s unfair competition law, and
an injunction compelling compliance with the California Labor Code.
The complaint alleges two subclasses of 500 and 200 employees,
respectively (there may be overlap among the subclasses), but
contains no allegations concerning the number of alleged violations
or the amount of recovery sought on behalf of the purported
class.&amp;#xA0;The&amp;#xA0;Court granted preliminary approval of the
settlement on November&amp;#xA0;22, 2011 and granted final approval of
the settlement on April&amp;#xA0;6, 2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Between
August&amp;#xA0;17, 2009 and August&amp;#xA0;31, 2009, five putative
shareholder derivative complaints were filed in Delaware Court of
Chancery against the Company&amp;#x2019;s directors. The complaints
generally allege breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate
assets and unjust enrichment in connection with the Company&amp;#x2019;s
entry into a definitive agreement to purchase Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp;
Noble College Booksellers, which was announced on August&amp;#xA0;10,
2009 (the Transaction). The complaints generally seek damages in
favor of the Company in an unspecified amount; costs, fees and
interest; disgorgement; restitution; and equitable relief,
including injunctive relief. On September&amp;#xA0;1, 2009, the
Delaware Court of Chancery issued an Order of Consolidation
consolidating the five lawsuits (the Consolidated Cases) and
directing plaintiffs to file a consolidated amended complaint. In a
related development, on August&amp;#xA0;27, 2009, the Company received
a demand pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law,
Section&amp;#xA0;220, on behalf of the Electrical Workers Pension Fund,
Local 103, I.B.E.W., a shareholder, seeking to inspect certain
books and records related to the Transaction.&amp;#xA0;On
September&amp;#xA0;18, 2009, this shareholder filed a shareholder
derivative complaint in Delaware Court of Chancery against certain
of the Company&amp;#x2019;s directors alleging breach of fiduciary duty
and unjust enrichment and seeking to enjoin the consummation of the
Transaction.&amp;#xA0;On October&amp;#xA0;6, 2009, the plaintiffs in the
Consolidated Cases filed a motion seeking to consolidate the
later-filed sixth case with the Consolidated Cases.&amp;#xA0;On
November&amp;#xA0;3, 2009, a Consolidated Complaint was filed in the
Consolidated Cases.&amp;#xA0;On December&amp;#xA0;11, 2009, the court
entered an order consolidating all actions and appointing co-lead
counsel for plaintiffs.&amp;#xA0;The Company and defendants filed
motions to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint on January&amp;#xA0;12,
2010.&amp;#xA0;Plaintiffs filed an Amended Consolidated Complaint on
March&amp;#xA0;16, 2010.&amp;#xA0;The Company and defendants filed motions
to dismiss the Amended Consolidated Complaint on April&amp;#xA0;30,
2010.&amp;#xA0;Plaintiffs filed their response to the motion to dismiss
on June&amp;#xA0;2, 2010. Oral argument on the motions to dismiss was
held on October&amp;#xA0;21, 2010. Following those arguments, the Court
denied the Company&amp;#x2019;s motion to dismiss, denied in part and
granted in part the motion to dismiss filed by Defendants Leonard
Riggio, Stephen Riggio and Lawrence Zilavy, and denied in part and
granted in part the motion to dismiss filed by the remaining
defendants, dismissing all claims asserted against Directors George
Campbell, Jr. and Patricia Higgins. All defendants except Leonard
Riggio moved for summary judgment on December&amp;#xA0;21, 2011.
Briefing on those motions was completed by March&amp;#xA0;2,
2012.&amp;#xA0;The Court ruled on those motions on March&amp;#xA0;27, 2012,
denying summary judgment as to Defendants Lawrence Zilavy and
Michael Del Giudice and granting summary judgment as to, and
dismissing all claims against, Defendants Stephen Riggio, Irene R.
Miller, Margaret T. Monaco and William Dillard, II. On
June&amp;#xA0;13, 2012, all remaining defendants agreed to settle all
remaining claims, subject to receipt of court approval (the
Settlement). In the Settlement, the sellers in the Transaction have
agreed to waive $22,750 of the purchase price by waiving a
corresponding principal amount (and interest on) of the Junior
Seller Note issued by the Company to the sellers as part of the
purchase price of the Transaction. If the Settlement Agreement is
approved by the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Consolidated Cases
will be dismissed, on the merits, with prejudice. Upon approval,
the $22,750 reduction in purchase price will be recorded as a
credit to additional paid in capital.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Leonard Riggio, et al. (formerly Stephen Strugala v. Leonard
Riggio, et. al&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;.)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
December&amp;#xA0;21, 2010, a complaint was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York by Stephen
Strugala against the Company&amp;#x2019;s current directors and former
directors Lawrence Zilavy and Michael Del Giudice. The complaint is
purportedly brought both directly, on behalf of a putative class of
shareholders, and derivatively, on behalf of the Company. The
complaint generally alleges breaches of fiduciary duties, waste and
unjust enrichment in connection with the Company&amp;#x2019;s
acquisition of Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble College Booksellers, the
adoption of the Shareholder Rights Plan, and other unspecified
instances of alleged mismanagement and alleged wrongful conduct.
The complaint also generally alleges violations of
Section&amp;#xA0;14(a) of the 1934 Act in connection with the issuance
of various proxy statements by the Company. The complaint generally
seeks declaratory and equitable relief, including injunctive
relief, and costs and fees. On January&amp;#xA0;19, 2011, the Court
granted the parties&amp;#x2019; Stipulation and Order. On
February&amp;#xA0;18, 2011, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary
Dismissal of Claim, dismissing without prejudice his putative class
claim for violations of Section&amp;#xA0;14(a) of the 1934 Act. On
March&amp;#xA0;8, 2011, defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims
in the litigation. On October&amp;#xA0;4, 2011, the Court granted
defendants&amp;#x2019; motion to dismiss, but also granted plaintiff
leave to replead within 30 days. On November&amp;#xA0;3, 2011,
plaintiff requested a pre-motion conference with the Court to
discuss an anticipated motion to substitute a new plaintiff,
Ms.&amp;#xA0;Whitney Parker, for Mr.&amp;#xA0;Strugala,
and&amp;#xA0;simultaneously filed an amended complaint on behalf of
Ms.&amp;#xA0;Parker containing substantially the same claims asserted
in Mr.&amp;#xA0;Strugala&amp;#x2019;s original complaint. The Court held a
pre-motion conference on December&amp;#xA0;9, 2011, at which the
parties agreed that Ms.&amp;#xA0;Parker could be substituted for
Mr.&amp;#xA0;Strugala without prejudice to any of defendants&amp;#x2019;
rights. On January&amp;#xA0;20, 2012, defendants moved to dismiss the
amended complaint. Briefing on that motion was completed on
May&amp;#xA0;4, 2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lina v.
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble, Inc., and Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble
Booksellers, Inc. et al.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
August&amp;#xA0;5, 2011, a purported class action complaint was filed
against Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble, Inc. and Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble
Booksellers, Inc. in the Superior Court for the State of California
making the following allegations against defendants with respect to
salaried Store Managers at Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble stores located
in the State of California from the period of August&amp;#xA0;5, 2007
to present: (1)&amp;#xA0;failure to pay wages and overtime;
(2)&amp;#xA0;failure to pay for missed meal and/or rest breaks;
(3)&amp;#xA0;waiting time penalties; (4)&amp;#xA0;failure to pay minimum
wage; (5)&amp;#xA0;failure to provide reimbursement for business
expenses; and (6)&amp;#xA0;failure to provide itemized wage
statements.&amp;#xA0;The claims are generally derivative of the
allegation that these salaried managers were improperly classified
as exempt from California&amp;#x2019;s wage and hour laws.&amp;#xA0;The
complaint contains no allegations concerning the number of any such
alleged violations or the amount of recovery sought on behalf the
purported class. The Company was served with the complaint on
August&amp;#xA0;11, 2011.&amp;#xA0;On August&amp;#xA0;30, 2011, the Company
filed an answer in state court, and on August&amp;#xA0;31, 2011 it
removed the action to federal court pursuant to the Class Action
Fairness Act of 2005, 28 U.S.C. &amp;#xA7; 1332(d).&amp;#xA0;On
October&amp;#xA0;28, 2011, the district court granted plaintiff&amp;#x2019;s
motion to remand the action back to state court, over the
Company&amp;#x2019;s opposition.&amp;#xA0;On November&amp;#xA0;7, 2011, the
Company petitioned the Ninth Circuit for an appeal of the district
court&amp;#x2019;s remand order.&amp;#xA0;The Ninth Circuit affirmed the
district court&amp;#x2019;s remand order on May&amp;#xA0;18,
2012.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On June&amp;#xA0;6,
2011, Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble, Inc. filed a complaint against LSI
Corporation (LSI ) in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, Case No.&amp;#xA0;11-CV-2709
EMC.&amp;#xA0;The complaint sought a declaratory judgment that
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble, Inc. does not infringe U.S. Patent Nos.
5,546,420; 5,670,730; 5,862,182; 5,920,552; 6,044,073; 6,119,091;
6,404,732; 6,452,958; 6,707,867 and 7,583,582. Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp;
Noble, Inc. amended the complaint on August&amp;#xA0;10, 2011 to add
barnesandnoble.com llc as a plaintiff, to add Agere Systems, Inc.
(Agere) as a defendant, to add a cause of action seeking a
declaratory judgment that neither Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble, Inc. nor
barnesandnoble.com llc infringes U.S. Patent No.&amp;#xA0;7,477,633,
and to add causes of action seeking a declaratory judgment that
each of the eleven patents-in-suit is invalid.&amp;#xA0;On

and asserted counterclaims against Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble, Inc.
and barnesandnoble.com llc, alleging infringement of the eleven
patents-in-suit.&amp;#xA0;On November&amp;#xA0;28, 2011, Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp;

and asserted several affirmative defenses, including the defense
that seven of the patents-in-suit are unenforceable as a result of
standard-setting misconduct. The Court has set certain pretrial
dates in the case, including a claim construction hearing on
March&amp;#xA0;12, 2013.&amp;#xA0;The Court has not yet set a trial date in
the case.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

2011, B&amp;amp;N College began offering a textbook rental option to

recently developed ability to review the digital business separate
from its eCommerce business, the Company performed an evaluation on
the effect of its impact on the identification of operating
segments. The assessment considered the way the business is managed
(focusing on the financial information distributed) and the manner
in which the chief operating decision maker interacts with other
members of management. As a result of this assessment, during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 the Company has determined that the
segment previously referred to as B&amp;amp;N.com is no longer
applicable and created a new segment titled NOOK to report upon its
digital business, moving the eCommerce business (i.e., sales of
physical non-NOOK merchandise over the Internet) into the B&amp;amp;N
Retail segment. Also, as a result of this assessment, certain
corporate office and other costs have been allocated to all three
segments. The Company&amp;#x2019;s three operating segments are: B&amp;amp;N
Retail, B&amp;amp;N College and NOOK.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Consolidation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble, Inc. and its wholly and majority-owned
subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates in which ownership
interests range from 20% to 50%, are accounted for under the equity
method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Use of
Estimates&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In preparing
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, the Company is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cash and Cash
Equivalents&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
considers all short-term, highly liquid instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Merchandise
Inventories&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Merchandise
inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined primarily by the retail inventory method under both the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
basis. B&amp;amp;N College&amp;#x2019;s textbook and trade book inventories
are valued using the LIFO method, where the related reserve was not
material to the recorded amount of the Company&amp;#x2019;s inventories
or results of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Market is
determined based on the estimated net realizable value, which is
generally the selling price. Reserves for non-returnable inventory
are based on the Company&amp;#x2019;s history of liquidating
non-returnable inventory.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
also estimates and accrues shortage for the period between the last
physical count of inventory and the balance sheet date. Shortage
rates are estimated and accrued based on historical rates and can
be affected by changes in merchandise mix and changes in actual
shortage trends.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Property and
Equipment&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Property and
equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives. For tax purposes, different methods are used. Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major maintenance and
remodeling costs are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are
capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their estimated
useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. Capitalized
lease acquisition costs are being amortized over the lease terms of
the underlying leases. Costs incurred in purchasing management
information systems are capitalized and included in property and
equipment. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful
lives from the date the systems become operational.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Other Long-Lived

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The
Company&amp;#x2019;s other long-lived assets include property and
equipment and amortizable intangibles. At April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012, the
Company had $622,655 of property and equipment, net of accumulated
depreciation, and $249,318 of amortizable intangible assets, net of
amortization, accounting for approximately 23.2% of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s total assets. The Company reviews its long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 360-10, &lt;i&gt;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets&lt;/i&gt; (ASC 360-10). The Company evaluates
long-lived assets for impairment at the individual
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble store level, except for B&amp;amp;N College
long-lived assets, which are evaluated for impairment at the school
contract combined store level, which is the lowest level at which
individual cash flows can be identified. When evaluating long-lived
assets for potential impairment, the Company will first compare the
carrying amount of the assets to the individual store&amp;#x2019;s
estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated future
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an
impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss
calculation compares the carrying amount of the assets to the
individual store&amp;#x2019;s fair value based on its estimated
discounted future cash flows. If required, an impairment loss is
recorded for that portion of the asset&amp;#x2019;s carrying value in
excess of fair value. Impairment losses included in selling and
administrative expenses totaled $11,747, $2,857, and $12,102 during
fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, and are
related to individual store locations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The costs in

in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;At
April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012, the Company had $519,685 of goodwill and
$314,736 of unamortizable intangible assets (those with an
indefinite useful life), accounting for approximately 22.2% of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s total assets. ASC 350-30, &lt;i&gt;Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets&lt;/i&gt;, requires that goodwill and other
unamortizable intangible assets no longer be amortized, but instead
be tested for impairment at least annually or earlier if there are
impairment indicators. The Company performs a two-step process for
impairment testing of goodwill as required by ASC 350-30. The first
step of this test, used to identify potential impairment, compares
the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The
second step (if necessary) measures the amount of the impairment.
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of the
first day of the third quarter of fiscal 2012. In performing the
valuations, the Company used cash flows that reflected
management&amp;#x2019;s forecasts and discount rates that included risk
adjustments consistent with the current market conditions. Based on
the results of the Company&amp;#x2019;s step one testing, the fair
values of the B&amp;amp;N Retail, B&amp;amp;N College and B&amp;amp;N.com
reporting units as of that date exceeded their carrying values;
therefore, the second step of the impairment test was not required
to be performed and no goodwill impairment was recognized. During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 the Company has determined that
the segment previously referred to as B&amp;amp;N.com is no longer
applicable and created a new segment titled NOOK to report upon its
digital business, moving the eCommerce business (i.e., sales of
physical merchandise over the Internet) into the B&amp;amp;N Retail
segment. The Company&amp;#x2019;s three operating segments are: B&amp;amp;N
Retail, B&amp;amp;N College and NOOK. As a result of this evaluation,
$20,279 of goodwill was re-allocated between B&amp;amp;N Retail and
NOOK segments. There were no subsequent indicators of impairment
prior to or after the reallocation of goodwill.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
tests unamortizable intangible assets by comparing the fair value
and the carrying value of such assets. The Company also completed
its annual impairment tests for its other unamortizable intangible
assets by comparing the estimated fair value to the carrying value
of such assets and determined that no impairment was necessary.
Changes in market conditions, among other factors, could have a
material impact on these estimates, except for the Company&amp;#x2019;s
publishing contracts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Publishing
contracts include the value of long-standing relationships with
authors, agents and publishers established upon the Company&amp;#x2019;s
acquisition of Sterling in 2003. Given Sterling&amp;#x2019;s strong
history of maintaining such relationships, the Company believes
they produce value indefinitely without an identifiable remaining
useful life. However, given recent declines in the physical book
business, these contracts were at risk of impairment as of its most
recent impairment testing date and may be at risk in the future if
declines in sales continue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Costs incurred
to obtain long-term financing are amortized over the terms of the
respective debt agreements using the straight-line method, which
approximates the interest method. Unamortized costs included in
other noncurrent assets as of April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012 and
April&amp;#xA0;30, 2011 were $21,522 and $26,525, respectively.
Amortization expense included in interest and amortization of
deferred financing fees was $5,381, $16,087, and $5,925 during
fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Revenue from
sales of the Company&amp;#x2019;s products is recognized at the time of
sale, other than those with multiple elements and FOB destination
point shipping terms. The Company&amp;#x2019;s products are considered
delivered once they have been shipped and title and risk of loss
have transferred. While the majority of the Company&amp;#x2019;s
shipping terms are FOB shipping point, there are certain third
party distribution partners with shipping terms of FOB destination
point. Certain of the Company sales agreements with these
distribution partners contain rights of inspection or acceptance
provisions as is standard in the Company&amp;#x2019;s industry. The
Company accrues for estimated sales returns in the period in which
the related revenue is recognized based on historical experience
and industry standards. Sales taxes collected from retail customers
are excluded from reported revenues. All of the Company&amp;#x2019;s
sales are recognized as revenue on a &amp;#x201C;net&amp;#x201D; basis,
including sales in connection with any periodic promotions offered
to customers. The Company does not treat any promotional offers as
expenses.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

with ASC 605-25, &lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition, Multiple Element
Arrangements&lt;/i&gt; and Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) 2009-13 and
2009-14, for multiple-element arrangements that involve tangible
products that contain software that is essential to the tangible
product&amp;#x2019;s functionality, undelivered software elements that
relate to the tangible product&amp;#x2019;s essential software and other
separable elements, the Company allocates revenue to all
deliverables using the relative selling-price method. Under this
method, revenue is allocated at the time of sale to all
deliverables based on their relative selling price using a specific
hierarchy. The hierarchy is as follows: vendor-specific objective
evidence, third-party evidence of selling price, or best estimate
of selling price. NOOK&amp;#x2122; eBook Reader revenue (which includes
revenue from the Company&amp;#x2019;s NOOK&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline"&gt;&amp;#xAE;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
includes post-service customer support (PCS) in the form of
software updates and potential increased functionality on a
when-and-if-available basis, as well as wireless access and
wireless connectivity with the purchase of NOOK&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline"&gt;&amp;#xAE;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
from the Company. Using the relative selling price described above,
the Company allocates revenue based on the best estimate of selling
price for the deliverables as no vendor-specific objective evidence
or third-party evidence exists for any of the elements. Revenue
allocated to NOOK&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline"&gt;&amp;#xAE;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
and the software essential to its functionality is recognized at
the time of sale, provided all other conditions for revenue
recognition are met. Revenue allocated to the PCS and the wireless
access is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the
2-year estimated life of NOOK&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline"&gt;&amp;#xAE;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

deferred revenue as of April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012 and April&amp;#xA0;30, 2011
was $19,785 and $18,184, respectively. These amounts are classified
on the Company&amp;#x2019;s balance sheet in accrued liabilities for the
portion that is subject to deferral for one year or less and other
long-term liabilities for the portion that is subject to deferral
for more than one year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

content at the point of sale of the content. The Company records
revenue from sales of digital content, sales of third-party
extended warranties, service contracts and other products, for
which the Company is not obligated to perform, and for which the
Company does not meet the criteria for gross revenue recognition
under ASC 605-45-45, &lt;i&gt;Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal
versus Net as an Agent&lt;/i&gt;, on a net basis. All other revenue is
recognized on a gross basis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
follows the guidance in ASC 985-20, &lt;i&gt;Cost of Software to Be Sold,
Leased or Marketed&lt;/i&gt;, regarding software development costs to be
sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. Capitalization of software
development costs begins upon the establishment of technological
feasibility and is discontinued when the product is available for
sale. A certain amount of judgment and estimation is required to
assess when technological feasibility is established, as well as
the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of capitalized costs.
The Company&amp;#x2019;s products reach technological feasibility
shortly before the products are released and therefore research and
development costs are generally expensed as incurred.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The costs of
advertising are expensed as incurred during the year pursuant to
ASC 720-35, &lt;i&gt;Advertising Costs&lt;/i&gt;. Advertising costs charged to
selling and administrative expenses were $116,388, $73,417, and
$37,600 during fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011, and fiscal 2010,
respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company

placement in stores, catalogs and online. In accordance with ASC
605-50-25-10, &lt;i&gt;Customer&amp;#x2019;s Accounting for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor&lt;/i&gt;, the Company classifies
certain co-op advertising received as a reduction in costs of sales
and occupancy. The gross advertising expenses noted above were
completely offset by allowances received from vendors and the
excess allowances received were recorded as a reduction of cost of
goods sold or inventory, as appropriate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;When the
Company closes or relocates a store, the Company charges
unrecoverable costs to expense. Such costs include the net book
value of abandoned fixtures and leasehold improvements and, when a
store is closed prior to the expiration of the lease, a provision
for future lease obligations, net of expected sublease recoveries.
Costs associated with store closings of $551, $3,899, and $4,503
during fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, are
included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Basic earnings
per share represent net earnings (loss) attributable to common
shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the
impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s outstanding stock options. The Company&amp;#x2019;s
unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted stock units and
common shares issuable under the Company&amp;#x2019;s deferred
compensation plan are deemed participating securities and are
excluded from the dilutive impact of common equivalent shares
outstanding under the two-class method since these shares are
entitled to participate in dividends declared on common shares.
Under the two-class method, earnings (loss) attributable to
unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted stock units and
common shares issuable under the Company&amp;#x2019;s deferred
compensation plan are excluded from net earnings (loss)
attributable to common shareholders for purposes of calculating
basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share. See Note 7 for
further information regarding the calculation of basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per common share.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The provision
for income taxes includes federal, state and local income taxes
currently payable and those deferred because of temporary
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets

measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to
be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company regularly
reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes
a valuation allowance, if determined to be necessary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stock-Based
Compensation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The calculation
of stock-based employee compensation expense involves estimates
that require management&amp;#x2019;s judgment. These estimates include
the fair value of each of the stock option awards granted, which is
estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model. There are two significant inputs into the Black-Scholes
option pricing model: expected volatility and expected term. The
Company estimates expected volatility based on traded option
volatility of the Company&amp;#x2019;s stock over a term equal to the
expected term of the option granted. The expected term of stock
option awards granted is derived from historical exercise
experience under the Company&amp;#x2019;s stock option plans and
represents the period of time that stock option awards granted are
expected to be outstanding. The assumptions used in calculating the
fair value of stock-based payment awards represent
management&amp;#x2019;s best estimates, but these estimates involve
inherent uncertainties and the application of management&amp;#x2019;s
judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses
different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be
materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is
required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate, and only
recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the
Company&amp;#x2019;s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from
its estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be
significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the
current period. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
sells gift cards which can be used in its stores or on
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble.com. The Company does not charge
administrative or dormancy fees on gift cards and gift cards have
no expiration dates. Upon the purchase of a gift card, a liability
is established for its cash value. Revenue associated with gift
cards is deferred until redemption of the gift card. Over time,
some portion of the gift cards issued is not redeemed. The Company
estimates the portion of the gift card liability for which the
likelihood of redemption is remote based upon the Company&amp;#x2019;s
historical redemption patterns. The Company records this amount in
income on a straight-line basis over a 12-month period beginning in
the 13th month after the month the gift card was originally sold.
If actual redemption patterns vary from the Company&amp;#x2019;s
estimates, actual gift card breakage may differ from the amounts
recorded. The Company recognized gift card breakage of $29,284,
$25,904 and $21,328 during fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal
2010, respectively. The Company had gift card liabilities of
$321,362 and $311,092 as of April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012 and April&amp;#xA0;30,
2011, respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU
2011-05, &lt;i&gt;Presentation of Comprehensive Income&lt;/i&gt; (ASU 2011-05).
ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of
other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in
stockholders&amp;#x2019; equity. The amendment requires that all
non-owner changes in stockholders&amp;#x2019; equity be presented either
in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two
separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not change
the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or
when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to
net income. In addition, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, &lt;i&gt;Deferral
of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of
Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income in Accounting Standards Update No.&amp;#xA0;2011-05&lt;/i&gt;(ASU
2011-12). ASU 2011-12 effectively defers only those changes in
Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification
adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. All
other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this update.
These ASUs are effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s financial
statements for annual and interim periods beginning on or after
December&amp;#xA0;15, 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The
Company has early adopted both ASU 2011-05 and ASU
2011-12.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In September
2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, &lt;i&gt;Testing Goodwill for
Impairment&lt;/i&gt; (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 gives the Company the
option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the
existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that
it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit
is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality
of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more
likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less
than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment
test is unnecessary. This ASU is effective for the Company&amp;#x2019;s
financial statements for annual and interim periods beginning on or
after December&amp;#xA0;15, 2011. The adoption is not expected to have
an impact on the Company&amp;#x2019;s Fiscal 2013 Consolidated Financial
Statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The
Company&amp;#x2019;s other long-lived assets include property and
equipment and amortizable intangibles. At April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012, the
Company had $622,655 of property and equipment, net of accumulated
depreciation, and $249,318 of amortizable intangible assets, net of
amortization, accounting for approximately 23.2% of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s total assets. The Company reviews its long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 360-10, &lt;i&gt;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets&lt;/i&gt; (ASC 360-10). The Company evaluates
long-lived assets for impairment at the individual
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble store level, except for B&amp;amp;N College
long-lived assets, which are evaluated for impairment at the school
contract combined store level, which is the lowest level at which
individual cash flows can be identified. When evaluating long-lived
assets for potential impairment, the Company will first compare the
carrying amount of the assets to the individual store&amp;#x2019;s
estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated future
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an
impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss
calculation compares the carrying amount of the assets to the
individual store&amp;#x2019;s fair value based on its estimated
discounted future cash flows. If required, an impairment loss is
recorded for that portion of the asset&amp;#x2019;s carrying value in
excess of fair value. Impairment losses included in selling and
administrative expenses totaled $11,747, $2,857, and $12,102 during
fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively, and are
related to individual store locations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td valign="top" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The tax basis of goodwill
arising from an acquisition during the 52 weeks ended
January&amp;#xA0;29, 2005 exceeded the related basis for financial
reporting purposes by approximately $96,576. In accordance with ASC
740-10-30, &lt;i&gt;Accounting for Income Taxes,&lt;/i&gt; the Company is
recognizing the tax benefits of amortizing such excess as a
reduction of goodwill as it is realized on the Company&amp;#x2019;s
income tax return.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td valign="top" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Due to the increased focus
on the internet and digital businesses, the Company performed an
evaluation on the effect of its impact on the identification of
operating segments. The assessment considered the way the business
is managed (focusing on the financial information distributed) and
the manner in which the chief operating decision maker interacts
with other members of management. As a result of this assessment,
the Company determined that it has three operating segments:
B&amp;amp;N Retail, B&amp;amp;N College and B&amp;amp;N.com. As a result of
this evaluation, $29,135 of goodwill was re-allocated between
B&amp;amp;N Retail and B&amp;amp;N.com segments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td valign="top" align="left"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Prior to April&amp;#xA0;28,
2012, the Company reported an operating segment titled B&amp;amp;N.com,
which included both its NOOK digital business and eCommerce
operations. Due to the increased focus on the digital business and
the Company&amp;#x2019;s recently developed ability to review the
digital business separate from its eCommerce business, the Company
performed an evaluation on the effect of its impact on the
identification of operating segments. The assessment considered the
way the business is managed (focusing on the financial information
distributed) and the manner in which the chief operating decision
maker interacts with other members of management. As a result of
this assessment, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the
Company created a new segment titled NOOK to report upon its
digital business, moving the eCommerce business into the B&amp;amp;N
Retail segment. The Company&amp;#x2019;s three operating segments are:
B&amp;amp;N Retail, B&amp;amp;N College and NOOK. As a result of this
evaluation, $20,279 of goodwill was re-allocated between
B&amp;amp;N.com and NOOK segments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
October&amp;#xA0;17, 2011, the Company finalized the purchase of
certain intellectual property assets from the Borders Group, Inc.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for $14,528 including acquisition related
fees. These intellectual property assets include a customer list,
trade names and URLs. The Company accounted for the transaction as
an asset purchase, and these assets are included on its
consolidated balance sheet as Intangible Assets. The intangible
assets are being amortized on an accelerated basis over a three
year period, commencing October&amp;#xA0;17, 2011. Amortization expense
related to the acquisition of these assets for fiscal 2012 was
$3,935.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Merchandise
inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined primarily by the retail inventory method under both the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
basis. B&amp;amp;N College&amp;#x2019;s textbook and trade book inventories
are valued using the LIFO method, where the related reserve was not
material to the recorded amount of the Company&amp;#x2019;s inventories
or results of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Market is

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Basic earnings
per share represent net earnings (loss) attributable to common
shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the
impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s outstanding stock options. The Company&amp;#x2019;s
unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted stock units and
common shares issuable under the Company&amp;#x2019;s deferred

excluded from the dilutive impact of common equivalent shares
outstanding under the two-class method since these shares are
entitled to participate in dividends declared on common shares.
Under the two-class method, earnings (loss) attributable to
unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted stock units and
common shares issuable under the Company&amp;#x2019;s deferred

attributable to common shareholders for purposes of calculating
basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share. See Note 7 for

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
follows the guidance in ASC 985-20, &lt;i&gt;Cost of Software to Be Sold,
Leased or Marketed&lt;/i&gt;, regarding software development costs to be
sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. Capitalization of software
development costs begins upon the establishment of technological
feasibility and is discontinued when the product is available for
sale. A certain amount of judgment and estimation is required to
assess when technological feasibility is established, as well as
the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of capitalized costs.
The Company&amp;#x2019;s products reach technological feasibility
shortly before the products are released and therefore research and
development costs are generally expensed as incurred.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In accordance
with ASC 820, &lt;i&gt;Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures&lt;/i&gt;, the
fair value of an asset is considered to be the price at which the
asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated
knowledgeable and willing parties. A liability&amp;#x2019;s fair value
is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the
liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to
settle the liability with the creditor. Assets and liabilities
recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair
value. These tiers include:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The
Company&amp;#x2019;s financial instruments, other than those presented
in the disclosures above, include cash, receivables, other
investments and accounts payable. The fair values of cash,
receivables, and accounts payable approximated carrying values
because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company
believes that its 2012 Amended Credit Facility approximates fair
value since interest rates are adjusted to reflect current rates.
The Company believes that the terms and conditions of the remaining
Seller Notes is consistent with comparable market debt
issues.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Property and
equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives. For tax purposes, different methods are used. Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major maintenance and
remodeling costs are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are
capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their estimated
useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. Capitalized
lease acquisition costs are being amortized over the lease terms of
the underlying leases. Costs incurred in purchasing management
information systems are capitalized and included in property and
equipment. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful
lives from the date the systems become operational.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

limitation and expire beginning in 2030 through 2031.&amp;#xA0;These
NOLs account for $57,773 of the $75,817 of loss and credit

remainder relating primarily to other state NOLs and federal

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The
Company&amp;#x2019;s continuing practice is to recognize interest and
penalties related to income tax matters in income tax
expense.&amp;#xA0;As of April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012 and April&amp;#xA0;30, 2011,
the Company had accrued $3,897 and $3,236, respectively, for net
interest and penalties, which is included in the $17,032 and
$16,715 of unrecognized tax benefits noted above.&amp;#xA0;The change
in the amount accrued for net interest and penalties includes $974
in additions for net interest and penalties recognized in income
tax expense in the Company&amp;#x2019;s fiscal 2012 statement of
operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company is
subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in
jurisdictions of each state having an income tax. The tax years
that remain subject to examination are primarily from fiscal 2007
and forward. Some earlier years remain open for a small minority of
states.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The provision
for income taxes includes federal, state and local income taxes
currently payable and those deferred because of temporary
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to
be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company regularly
reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes
a valuation allowance, if determined to be necessary.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
September&amp;#xA0;30, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of
B&amp;amp;N College from Leonard Riggio and Louise Riggio (Sellers)
pursuant a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of August&amp;#xA0;7, 2009
among the Company and the Sellers. Mr.&amp;#xA0;Riggio is the Chairman
of the Company&amp;#x2019;s Board of Directors and a significant
stockholder. As part of the transaction, the Company acquired the
Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble trade name that had been owned by B&amp;amp;N
College and licensed to the Company.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
September&amp;#xA0;30, 2009, in connection with the closing of the
Acquisition described above, the Company issued the Sellers
(i)&amp;#xA0;a senior subordinated note in the principal amount of
$100,000, payable in full on December&amp;#xA0;15, 2010, with interest
of 8%&amp;#xA0;per annum payable on the unpaid principal amount (the
Senior Seller Note) and (ii)&amp;#xA0;a junior subordinated note in the
principal amount of $150,000, payable in full on the fifth
anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition, with interest of
10%&amp;#xA0;per annum payable on the unpaid principal amount (the
Junior Seller Note; and together with the Senior Seller Note, the
Seller Notes). On December&amp;#xA0;22, 2009, the Company consented to
the pledge and assignment of the Senior Seller Note by the Sellers
as collateral security. The Senior Seller Note was paid on its
scheduled due date, December&amp;#xA0;15, 2010.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The purchase
price paid to the Sellers was $596,000, consisting of $346,000 in
cash and $250,000 in Seller Notes. However, the cash paid to the
Sellers was reduced by $82,352 in cash bonuses paid by B&amp;amp;N
College to 192 members of its management team and employees, not
including Leonard Riggio. The Company financed the Acquisition
through $250,000 of seller financing, $150,000 from the 2009 Credit
Facility and the remainder from both the Company&amp;#x2019;s and
B&amp;amp;N College&amp;#x2019;s cash on hand.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Pursuant to a
settlement agreed to on June&amp;#xA0;13, 2012 and described in Note
18, the Sellers have agreed to waive $22,750 of the purchase price
by waiving a corresponding principal amount (and interest on) of
the Junior Seller Note, subject to receipt of court
approval.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Acquisition
was accounted for as a business purchase pursuant to Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 805, &lt;i&gt;Business Combinations&lt;/i&gt; (ASC
805). Acquisition-related expenses totaled $10,400 and have been
recorded as selling and administrative expenses in the
Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated statement of operations in fiscal
2010. As required by ASC 805-20, the Company allocated the purchase
price to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value
at the Acquisition date. The following table represents the
allocation of the purchase price to the acquired net assets and
resulting adjustment to goodwill:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
previously licensed the &amp;#x201C;Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble&amp;#x201D; trade
name from B&amp;amp;N College under certain agreements. The Acquisition
gave the Company exclusive ownership of its trade name. The
estimated fair value ascribed to the trade name of $245,000
represents solely the estimated incremental value acquired as part
of the Acquisition, which is not representative of the value of the
&amp;#x201C;Barnes&amp;#xA0;&amp;amp; Noble&amp;#x201D; trade name taken as a whole.
The trade name has been classified as an unamortizable intangible
asset.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Customer

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The estimated
fair value of customer relationships of B&amp;amp;N College is
$255,000. Customers are comprised of existing college and
university contractual relationships at the date of the
Acquisition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Historical
customer attrition rates imply a life of 50 years; however, the
useful life was shortened to 25 years since the majority of the
value of discounted cash flows are captured in this period. The
$255,000 is being amortized evenly over the 25-year period. The
Company recorded $10,200, $10,200 and $5,950 in amortization
related to these intangibles during the 52 weeks ended
April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012,&amp;#xA0;April&amp;#xA0;30, 2011 and May&amp;#xA0;1, 2010,
respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
also recorded a short-term deferred tax liability of $26,810 and a
long-term deferred tax liability of $207,821 related to the
difference between the book basis and the tax basis of the net
assets acquired. In addition, the Company stepped up the value of
other assets and liabilities, resulting in goodwill of $272,879,
which is not deductible for income tax purposes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
maintains three share-based incentive plans: the 1996 Incentive
Plan, the 2004 Incentive Plan and the 2009 Incentive Plan. Prior to
June&amp;#xA0;2, 2009, the Company issued restricted stock and stock
options under the 1996 and 2004 Incentive Plans. On June&amp;#xA0;2,
2009, the Company&amp;#x2019;s shareholders approved the 2009 Incentive
Plan. Under the 2009 Incentive Plan, the Company has issued
restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options. The
maximum number of shares issuable under the 2009 Incentive Plan is
950,000, plus shares that remain available under the
Company&amp;#x2019;s shareholder-approved 2004 Incentive Plan. At
April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012, there were approximately 1,001,440 shares of
common stock available for future grants under the 2009 Incentive
Plan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;A restricted
stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain
restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are
independent of option grants and are generally subject to
forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the
restrictions. The grantee cannot transfer the shares before the
restricted shares vest. Shares of unvested restricted stock have
the same voting rights as common stock, are entitled to receive
dividends and other distributions thereon and are considered to be
currently issued and outstanding. The Company&amp;#x2019;s restricted
stock awards vest over a period of one to five years. The Company
expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is
determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of
grant, straight-line over the period during which the restrictions
lapse. For these purposes, the fair market value of the restricted
stock is determined based on the closing price of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock on the grant date.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;A restricted
stock unit is a grant valued in terms of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common
stock, but no stock is issued at the time of grant. The restricted
stock units may be redeemed for one share of common stock each once
vested. Restricted stock units are generally subject to forfeiture
if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions.
The grantee cannot transfer the units except in very limited
circumstances and with the consent of the compensation committee.
Shares of unvested restricted stock units have no voting rights but
are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions thereon.
The Company&amp;#x2019;s restricted stock units vest over a period of
one to five years. The Company expenses the cost of the restricted
stock units, which is determined to be the fair market value of the
shares at the date of grant, straight-line over the period during
which the restrictions lapse. For these purposes, the fair market
value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing
price of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock on the grant
date.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the
Company&amp;#x2019;s stock options for each stock option award. Using
this option-pricing model, the fair value of each stock option
award is estimated on the date of grant. The fair value of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s stock option awards, which are generally subject to
pro-rata vesting annually over four&amp;#xA0;years, is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock options.
The expected volatility assumption is based on traded options
volatility of the Company&amp;#x2019;s stock over a term equal to the
expected term of the option granted. The expected term of stock
option awards granted is derived from historical exercise
experience under the Company&amp;#x2019;s stock option plans and
represents the period of time that stock option awards granted are
expected to be outstanding. The expected term assumption
incorporates the contractual term of an option grant, which is ten
years, as well as the vesting period of an award, which is
generally pro-rata vesting annually over four years. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury
constant maturity with a remaining term equal to the expected term
of the option granted.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The Company
recognizes stock-based compensation costs, net of estimated
forfeitures, for only those shares expected to vest on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
The Company estimates the forfeiture rates based on its historical
experience.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The weighted

Company&amp;#x2019;s stock options for fiscal years 2012 and 2010 are

2011.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The aggregate
intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax
intrinsic value (the difference between the Company&amp;#x2019;s closing
stock price on the last trading day of the related fiscal year and
the exercise price, multiplied by the related in-the-money options)
that would have been received by the option holders had they
exercised their options at the end of the fiscal year. This amount
changes based on the market value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common
stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for fiscal 2012,
fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 (based on the difference between the
Company&amp;#x2019;s stock price on the exercise date and the respective
exercise price, multiplied by the number of options exercised) was
$521, $124 and $2,321, respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;As of
April&amp;#xA0;28, 2012, there was $20,384 of total unrecognized
compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted
under the Company&amp;#x2019;s share-based compensation plans. That
expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period
of 3.4&amp;#xA0;years.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The
Company&amp;#x2019;s Chief Executive Officer was granted 500,000 stock
options, with an exercise price of $22.07 per share, on
April&amp;#xA0;1, 2010 and a grant of 1,000,000 stock options, with an
exercise price of $16.00 per share, was approved on
December&amp;#xA0;9, 2011. However, the Company subsequently determined
that 500,000 of the stock options approved on December&amp;#xA0;9, 2011
were not validly granted pursuant to the Company&amp;#x2019;s 2009
Incentive Plan because they exceeded the limit on the number of
options that may be granted to any individual participant within
any 36-month period. Accordingly, the attempted grant of these
excess options was ineffective, and they were never granted to the
Company&amp;#x2019;s Chief Executive Officer. The estimated liability
recorded for the invalid grant in the quarter was not
significant.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
