Citi Trends, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) operate as an off-price retailer of urban fashion apparel and accessories for the entire family.  As of April 30, 2016, the Company operated 526 stores in 31 states.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2016 and the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the thirteen week periods ended April 30, 2016 and May 2, 2015 have been prepared by the Company without audit. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all required year-end disclosures.  In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of April 30, 2016 and January 30, 2016, and its results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2016.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  Operating results for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 28, 2017.

The following contains references to fiscal years 2016 and 2015, which represent fiscal years ending or ended on January 28, 2017 and January 30, 2016, respectively.  Fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 both have 52-week accounting periods.
