| (1) These amounts will not agree with the fiscal year end 2010 or fiscal 2010 first quarter 10-Q filing due to the five stores the Company closed since the second quarter of fiscal 2010. These stores are now shown in discontinued operations.                                                                                                                                                |   |
| (2) These costs are not consistent quarter to quarter as the Company does not open the same number of stores in each quarter of each fiscal year. These costs are directly associated with the number of stores that have been or will be opened and are incurred prior to the grand opening of each store.                                                                            |   |
| (3) For the trailing twelve periods ended August 1, 2010 the average open weeks for the Company's two non same-stores was 14 weeks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |   |
| (4) The Company implemented new initiatives for fiscal year 2010. The fiscal 2010 initiatives include, but are not limited to, reduced point-of-sale hardware lease expense, energy expense and accident reduction programs. These initiatives achieved approximately $1.4 million in SG&A savings for the twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2010 when compared to the prior year same period. |   |
| (5) The store transformation project completed in fiscal 2010 continues to provide SG&A savings in fiscal 2011. This initiative achieved approximately $458 in SG&A savings for the twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2011 when compared to the prior year same period.                                                                                                                    |   |
