The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain financial information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, and the results of its operations and cash flows, for the periods presented.

Like many retailers, the Company's retail trade and electronic commerce segments are seasonal, with a large portion of sales and operating profit realized during the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season. Thus, the quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Certain reclassifications for insignificant amounts are included in this report for prior year periods where necessary to conform to the presentation of the current fiscal year.
