(7) Our comparable sales calculation compares revenue from stores, websites and call centers operating for at least 14 full months, as well as revenue related
to certain other comparable sales channels for a particular period to the corresponding period in the prior year. Relocated stores, as well as remodeled,
expanded, and downsized stores closed more than 14 days, are excluded from the comparable sales calculation until at least 14 full months after
reopening. Acquisitions are included in the comparable sales calculation beginning with the first full quarter following the first anniversary of the date of
the acquisition. The portion of the calculation of comparable sales attributable to our International segment excludes the effect of fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates. The calculation of comparable store sales excludes the impact of the extra week of revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012,
as well as revenue from discontinued operations. Comparable online sales are included in our comparable sales calculation. The method of calculating
comparable sales varies across the retail industry. As a result, our method of calculating comparable sales may not be the same as other retailers' methods.
(8) The current ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities.
