Lease Commitments.

We have entered into capital leases for certain property.  At August 2, 2014, the total capital lease obligations were $3.3 million, of which $0.4 million was included in short-term capital lease obligations and $2.9 million was included in other liabilities, net, on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.  At February 1, 2014, the total capital lease obligation was $3.2 million, of which $0.3 million was included in short-term capital lease obligations and $2.9 million was included in other liabilities, net, on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2014, we opened 16 stores and closed 5 stores increasing our lease commitments by a net of 11 retail stores. The stores we opened have initial lease termination dates between July 2019 and November 2024.  At August 2, 2014, the future minimum lease payments, excluding maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes, for our current capital and operating leases, were as follows (in thousands):

Included in the above table are future minimum lease payments on our distribution center which aggregate approximately $0.4 million.  The related operating lease expires in December 2014.

Annual Bonuses and Equity Incentive Awards.

Specified officers and corporate employees of our Company are eligible to receive annual bonuses, based on measures of Company operating performance.  At August 2, 2014 and February 1, 2014, there was $1.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of annual bonus related expenses included in accrued payroll expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, the Compensation Committee of the Board has placed performance criteria on awards of restricted stock units (PSUs) to our Named Executive Officers.  The performance criteria are tied to performance targets with respect to future return on invested capital and earnings before interest and taxes over a specified period of time.  These PSUs are expensed under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, and are evaluated each quarter to determine the probability that the performance conditions set within will be met.
