(a)	Although the Company was in a net income position during the 39 weeks ended January 31, 2015, the dilutive effect of the Company’s convertible preferred shares were excluded from the calculation of income per share using the two-class method because the effect would be antidilutive.

(b)	Includes accretion of dividends on the preferred membership interests, of which $4,897 was accelerated during the 13 weeks ended January 31, 2015 in connection with the re-acquired preferred membership interests.
