Nature of Business and Organizational Structure

Nature of Business and Organizational Structure

Coldwater Creek Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, headquartered in Sandpoint, Idaho, is a multi-channel specialty retailer of women's apparel, jewelry and accessories. We conduct business in two operating segments: retail and direct. The retail segment consists of our premium retail stores, factory stores and day spas. The direct segment consists of sales generated through our e-commerce website and mobile applications as well as orders taken from customers over the phone and through the mail.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013.

On October 4, 2012, we effected a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock following stockholder approval (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the split, every four shares of common stock outstanding were consolidated into one share. All share and per share information in this Form 10-Q has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

The condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows to be realized in future periods.
