Why we are filing this Amendment to
our Form 10-K
We are
filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period
ended January 29, 2010, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 30, 2010 (the “10-K Report”), in order to submit
Exhibit 101 to the 10-K Report as required by Item 601(b)(101) of Regulation S-K
and Rule 405 of Regulation S-T. Exhibit 101 was omitted from our
timely filed 10-K Report due to unanticipated technical difficulties encountered
during the electronic transmission of the 10-K Report to the Securities and
Exchange Commission preventing the exhibit’s submission.
Exhibit
101 provides the following items from our 10-K Report formatted in eXtensible
Business Reporting Language (XBRL): (i) Consolidated Statements of Earnings for
each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 29, 2010; (ii)
Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 29, 2010 and January 30, 2009; (iii)
Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for each of the three fiscal
years in the period ended January 29, 2010; (iv) Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 29, 2010;
(v) the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for each of the three
fiscal years in the period ended January 29, 2010, tagged as blocks of text; and
(vi) Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts and Reserves included in
Part IV Item 15(a)2, tagged as a block of text.
Except
for Exhibit 101 submitted herewith, the changes to the cover page and the filing
of required certifications, this Amendment No. 1 makes no other changes to the
10-K Report as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and posted on
our web site on March 30, 2010.
