INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     Attached and being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of a press release of The Talbots, Inc. (“Talbots”) dated August 17, 2005, reporting Talbots financial results for the second quarter of 2005.
     The discussion of the Company’s second quarter and two quarters 2004 EPS in the attached press release excludes the impact of the tax benefit realized in fiscal 2004. The reconciliation information is included in the press release. The Company believes that by reflecting the impact of this item, it provides investors with better insight into the period-over-period operating performance as well as identifying the impact of this excluded item. Management also internally uses this non-GAAP presentation to evaluate its operating performance on a comparative basis. Management uses various methods to evaluate its operations and does not depend exclusively on such non-GAAP amounts or on any other single analysis model. All such non-GAAP information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
