but not yet reported. We use a third-party actuary, which considers historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial
assumptions, to estimate the liabilities associated with these risks. We retain the initial risk of $500,000 per occurrence under our workers’ compensation
insurance policy and $250,000 per occurrence under our general liability policy. We also have a lifetime medical payment limit of $1.5 million per plan
participant. Total estimated liabilities for workers’ compensation, general liability and employee-related health benefits, excluding administrative expenses and
before pre-funding, were approximately $85 million at January 30, 2010 and $81 million at January 31, 2009. Although these amounts are actuarially
determined based on analysis of historical trends, the amounts that we will ultimately disburse could differ from these estimates.

Revenue from the sale of merchandise at our stores is recognized at the time of sale, net of any returns. E-commerce sales are recorded based on estimated
receipt of merchandise by the customer. Net sales do not include sales tax as we are considered a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes.
Revenue from gift card sales is recognized when the gift card is redeemed. Gift card breakage revenue is based on historical redemption patterns and
represents the balance of gift cards for which we believe the likelihood of redemption by a customer is remote.
