As stated in its
February 23, 2005 press release, these changes stem from a recent
clarification issued by The Securities and Exchange Commission
pertaining to certain lease accounting matters. The Company's
unaudited estimate is that the total cumulative pre-tax effect of
these changes will result in an increase to selling, general and
administrative expenses in the range of $30 to $40 million, with the
majority of the impact relating to years prior to fiscal 2000.00; fiscal 2001, $0.
In addition, the Company previously recognized straight-line rent
expense for leases beginning on the earlier of the store opening date
or the rent payment commencement date , which had the effect of
excluding the period used for preparing the store for opening
(approximately 30 days) from the calculation of the period over which
rent was expensed. The Company believes the assumptions underlying these
forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, actual results may
differ materially from those projected by , or implied in, the
forward-looking statements. Factors that may result in actual results
differing from such forward-looking information include, but are not
limited to, the completion of the Company 's year-end accounting
closing process and the completion of the audit.
