PART I

Item 1.BUSINESS

General

Syms Corp (the “Company” or “Syms”) operates a chain of thirty-three “off-price” retail stores located in the United States throughout the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic regions and in
the Midwest, Southeast and Southwest. Each Syms store offers a broad range of first quality, in-season merchandise bearing nationally recognized designer or brand-name labels for men, women and children at prices substantially lower than those
generally found in department and specialty stores.  Syms directs its merchandising efforts at predominantly middle income, fashion-minded and price conscious customers.

Since the first Syms store opened in New York City in 1959, the Company has expanded to 33 stores and the aggregate amount of selling space in Syms stores has increased from approximately 2,000 square feet to approximately
1,345,000 square feet. The Company maintains a 277,000 square foot distribution center and executive headquarters in Secaucus, New Jersey.

The Company was incorporated in New Jersey in 1983. The Company maintains its executive offices at Syms Way, Secaucus, New Jersey 07094, telephone (201) 902-9600. Unless otherwise noted, references to the
“Company” or to “Syms” relate to Syms Corp, its inactive subsidiary and their predecessors.

Description of Business

The Syms chain of 33 apparel stores offers a broad range of “off-price” first quality, in-season merchandise consisting primarily of men’s tailored clothing and haberdashery, women’s dresses, suits
and separates, children’s apparel and men’s, women’s and children’s shoes. Syms stores emphasize better quality, nationally recognized designer and brand name merchandise at prices substantially below those generally charged
by department and specialty stores. Syms carries a wide selection of sizes and styles of men’s, women’s and children’s wear.

Syms operates in a single industry segment and has no foreign operations. No material part of the Company’s revenues is received from a single customer or group of customers. Please refer to Note 1 of the Financial
Statements for information on segment reporting.

Merchandise

For the year ended March 1, 2008, net sales were generated by the following categories:

Men’s tailored
          clothes and haberdashery
      
      53

          dresses, suits, separates and accessories

          and fragrances
      
      3
      %100
      %


Most of the items sold by the Company consist of nationally recognized fashion brand-name merchandise. Merchandise is displayed by type and size on conveniently arranged racks or counters. No
emphasis is placed on any particular “label” or brand. The stores generally offer minor alterations for an additional charge.

Purchasing

The Company purchases first quality, in-season, brand-name merchandise directly from manufacturers on terms it believes are more favorable than those generally obtained by department and specialty stores.  Syms estimates
that approximately 200 brand-name manufacturers of apparel are represented in its stores. The Company does not maintain large out-of-season inventories. However, Syms occasionally buys certain basic clothing which does not change in style from year
to year at attractive prices for storage until the following season. Purchasing is performed by a buying staff in conjunction with Merchandise Managers.

Distribution

The Company owns a facility located at Syms Way, Secaucus, New Jersey. The facility contains approximately 277,000 square feet of warehouse and distribution space, 34,000 square feet of office
space and 29,000 square feet of store space. The facility is located on an 18.6 acre parcel of land for which the Company holds a ground lease for a remaining term of 268 years. Most merchandise is received from manufacturers at the distribution
center where it is inspected, ticketed and allocated to particular stores.

Marketing

The Company’s pricing policy is to affix a ticket to each item displaying Syms’ selling price as well as the price the Company regards as the traditional full retail price of that item at department or
specialty stores. All garments are sold with the brand-name as affixed by the manufacturer. Because women’s dresses are susceptible to considerable style fluctuation, Syms has long utilized a ten-day automatic markdown pricing policy to
promote movement of merchandise. The date of placement on the selling floor of each women’s dress is stamped on the back of the price ticket. The front of each ticket contains what the Company believes to be the nationally advertised price,
the initial Syms price and three reduced prices. Each reduced price becomes effective after the passage of ten selling days. Women’s dresses represent approximately 3.9% of net sales. The Company also offers “dividend” prices
consisting of additional price reductions on various types of merchandise at various times.

Syms has as its tag line “An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer”®, one of the best known in retail advertising. The Company
advertises principally on radio and more recently, has enhanced its advertising by including print media, as well as directmail and electronic media.

The Company sells its merchandise for cash, checks, national credit cards, and its own Syms credit card. Syms sells its own credit card receivables on a non-recourse basis to a third
party for a fee. Merchandise purchased from the Company may be returned within a reasonable amount of time, within season. The Company does not offercash refunds for
purchases, but issues credits toward the Syms charge card and other major credit cards or store merchandise credits which may be used toward the purchase of other merchandise.

Trademarks

“Syms”, “An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer”®, “Names You Must Know”®, and “The More You Know About Clothing, the Better it is for Syms”®have been registered with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Competition

The retail apparel business is highly competitive, and the Company accounts for only a small fraction of the total market for men’s, women’s and children’s apparel.  The Company’s stores compete
with discount stores, apparel specialty stores, department stores, manufacturer-owned factory outlet stores and others. Many of the stores with which the Company competes are units of large national or regional chains that have substantially greater
resources than the Company. Retailers having substantially greater resources than the Company have indicated their intention to enter the “off-price” apparel business, and the “off-price” apparel business itself has become
increasingly competitive, especially with respect to the increased use by manufacturers of their own factory outlets and the use of on-line sites by other retailers.  At various times of the year, department store chains and specialty shops offer
brand-name merchandise at substantial markdowns.

Operations and Control Systems

The Company has implemented a merchandise control system which tracks a product from its purchase to its ultimate sale in the Company’s stores. The system tracks the product by store in approximately 350 categories.
All the information regarding the product is transmitted daily to the Company’s database at its executive headquarters. Each week the Company’s executives receive detail reports regarding sales and inventory levels in units and retail
dollars on a store-by-store basis.

Management of the Company visit stores on a regular basis to, among other things, coordinate with the store managers and train employees in loss prevention methods. Each store has on premises security personnel during
normal hours and security systems after hours.

Employees

At March 1, 2008, the Company had approximately 1,700 employees, of which approximately 800 work on a part time basis. Approximately 30 to 100 persons, consisting mostly of sales personnel, are
employed at each SYMS location.

The Company has collective bargaining agreements with Local 1102 and Local 108, both of the Retail, Wholesale Department Store Workers Union whose agreements expire March 31, 2009 and May 31,
2009, respectively. The Company also has a collective bargaining agreement with Local 400 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union which expires April 30, 2009. Combined, the three local unions represent approximately 1,200 hourly employees.
The Company believes its relationships with the unions are good.

Available Information

The Company makes available on its web site at www.syms.com under “Investor Info” - “SEC Filings,” free of charge, its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on
Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such material with, or furnishes such material to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Item 1A.      RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risk and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially
adversely affected.

We have had a history of losses and may not be profitable in the future

While we have had a net profit in some fiscal quarters, we have had a history of losses and cannot assure that we will be profitable in the future. Even if we are able to
generate profit in the future, we still many not be able to maintain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

If we are unable to meet certain financial covenants in our credit facility, our lender could accelerate the debt

While we currently have no borrowings under our existing credit agreement, the facility does contain financial covenants with respect to consolidated tangible net worth, as
well as other financial ratios. If in the future we borrow monies under the facility and fail to meet these covenants or obtain appropriate waivers, our lender may terminate the credit facility or accelerate our debt.

Our sales and operating results depend on consumer preferences and fashion trends

Our sales and operating results depend in part upon our ability to anticipate and respond to product and fashion trends as well as to anticipate, gauge and react to changing
consumer demands in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that our products will correspond to the changes in taste and demand or that we will be able to successfully market products that respond to such trends. This requires us to anticipate
and respond to numerous and fluctuating variables in fashion trends and other conditions in the markets in which our stores are situated. A variety of factors may affect our ability to maintain the proper mix of products in each store, including
without limitation: variations in local, regional or national economic conditions which could affect our customers’ discretionary spending, unanticipated fashion trends, our success in distributing merchandise to our stores in an efficient
manner and changes in weather patterns, which in turn may affect consumer preferences. If we misjudge the market for our products, or if we are unable to anticipate and fulfill the merchandise needs of each region, we may experience decreases in our
sales, realize significant excess inventories for some products and, we may be forced to increase markdowns in relation to slow-moving merchandise, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

We may be unable to compete favorably in our highly competitive markets

The retail apparel business is highly competitive, and we only account for a small fraction of the total market for men’s, women’s and children’s apparel.
We compete against discount stores, apparel specialty stores, department stores, manufacturer-owned factory outlet stores and others. Our success depends on our ability to remain competitive with respect to style, price, brand availability and
customer service.  The performance of our competitors, as well as changes in their pricing policies, marketing activities and other business strategies, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and our
market share.

If we are unable to renew or enter into new leases on favorable terms, our revenue growth may decline

Twelve of our 33 stores are located in leased premises and the leases for nine of these 12 stores expire by 2010 and are subject to extension or renewal.  If the cost of
leasing existing stores increases, we cannot assure that we will be able to maintain our existing store locations as leases expire. In addition, we may not be able to enter into new leases on favorable terms or at all, or we may not be able to
locate suitable alternative sites or additional new sites for new stores in a timely manner. Our revenues and earnings may decline if we fail to maintain existing store locations, enter into more costly new leases, locate alternative sites or find
additional sites for new stores.

3

---



Our results of operations depend on keeping our expenses at an appropriate level

Our performance depends on appropriate management of our expense structure, including our selling, general and administrative costs. If we fail to meet our expense goals or
appropriately reduce expenses during a weak sales season, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our relationships with vendors

We currently purchase first-quality, in-season designer and brand name merchandise from more than 200 vendors at prices believed to be below those generally available to major
department and specialty stores. Although we have maintained long-term business relationships with many of these vendors, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to purchase first-quality, in-season merchandise from these vendors
in the same breadth of styles and sizes, in the same or greater volumes and at prices as favorable as those currently available to us. If we fail to maintain our relations with our existing vendors, or to enhance the quality of merchandise they
supply us and if we cannot maintain existing sources of supply or attract new vendors of in-season brand name and designer merchandise, our ability to obtain a sufficient amount and variety of merchandise at favorable prices may be limited, which
could have a negative impact on our competitive position and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Inventory Management and Valuation

The fashion-oriented nature of our products and the rapid changes in customer preferences leave us vulnerable to an increased risk of inventory obsolescence. Our ability to
manage inventories properly is an important factor in our operations. Inherent in our management and valuation of inventories are certain significant judgments and estimates, including, among others, merchandise markon, markups and markdowns, which
significantly impact the ending inventory valuation at retail as well as the resulting cost complement. While management believes that these methods provide an inventory valuation which reasonably approximates cost, if market conditions are less
favorable than those projected, additional markdowns may be required.  Our inability to effectively manage inventory could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure to retain our existing senior management and to continue to attract qualified new personnel could adversely affect our business

Our success will depend on our ability to retain our key personnel and attract and retain talented, highly qualified executives.  If we were to lose the benefit of the
experience, efforts and abilities of any of our key executive and buying personnel, our business could be adversely affected. Furthermore, our success is also dependent on our ability to hire and train qualified retail management and
associates.

We are also subject to risks associated with any significant disruptions in our relationship with our employees, including union employees, and any work stoppages by our
employees, including union employees.

A decline in general economic conditions or consumer confidence could lead to reduced consumer demand for our merchandise

Consumer spending habits, including spending for our merchandise, are affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, levels of employment, salary and wage
rates, prevailing interest rates, income tax rates and policies, consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions.  A decline in these or other general economic conditions could lead to a reduced consumer demand for our
merchandise, however, because of our discount pricing policies, a decline in general economic conditions may result in increased sales.

We are subject to potential for uninsured losses and/or claims

We are subject to the possibility of uninsured losses from risks such as terrorism, earthquakes or floods, for which no, or limited, insurance coverage is maintained.  We are
also subject to risk of losses which may arise from adverse litigation results or other claims.

Other factors could affect our results of operations and our ability to grow

Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted and that may adversely affect our ability to grow include:  possible disruptions in our
computer or telephone systems, increases in labor costs, higher than

anticipated store closings or relocation costs, continued increases in energy costs, higher interest rates, potential disruptions in the supply of or restrictions on imported merchandise and unanticipated increases in
merchandise or occupancy costs.

Syms stores are either “free standing” or located in shopping centers and all are surrounded by adequate free parking areas, except for the two New York City stores. Syms stores are
usually located near a major highway or thoroughfare in suburban areas populated by at least 1,000,000 people and are readily accessible to customers by automobile. In certain areas where the population is in excess of 2,000,000 people, Syms has
opened more than one store in the same general vicinity.

Store leases provide for a base rental of between approximately $5.06 and $44.39 per square foot. In addition, under the “net” terms of all of the leases, the Company must also pay
maintenance expenses, real estate taxes and other charges. One of the Company’s stores provides for rent based on a percentage of sales. Minimum rental payments for Syms’ leased stores aggregated approximately $6,683,000 for the fiscal
year ended March 1, 2008. For the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007, minimum rental payments aggregated approximately $7,445,000 of which approximately $640,000 was paid to Sy Syms (Chairman of the Board of the Company) as fixed rent. On December 21,
2006, the Company purchased from Mr. Syms the building and land on which the Elmsford, New York store is located for $13,516,000. This was part of a transaction in which the Company also purchased additional land and buildings not previously leased
or used by the Company for an aggregate of $18,521,000 (See Note 2 to Notes to Financial Statements).

Store Openings/Closings

In fiscal 2006, the Company opened a new store in Plano, Texas and closed stores located in Rochester, New York, Monroeville, Pennsylvania, St. Louis, Missouri and Dallas, Texas. The Dallas store, which was sold in May
2006, was replaced by the leased property located in Plano, Texas.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a party to routine litigation incident to its business. Some of the actions to which the Company is a party are covered by insurance and are being defended or reimbursed by the
Company’s insurance carriers.

In December 2007, the Company announced its decision to voluntarily delist its common stock from trading on the NYSE and, given that there were fewer than 300 holders of record of its common
shares, simultaneously deregister its common stock under federal securities laws. The Company’s decision to deregister with the SEC and delist from the NYSE was principally motivated by the desire to minimize the financial and administrative
burdens associated with being an SEC reporting company and further minimize or eliminate the compliance obligations incident to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In January 2008 certain institutional investors commenced a campaign to cause certain
shareholders to register shares individually and simultaneously brought two actions seeking injunctive relief from the aforementioned deregistration and delisting, counsel fees and unspecified damages. Although the Company believes that its actions
were appropriate, the Company determined that the costs and expenses associated with protracted litigation could not be justified and, in February 2008, reregistered its common stock and listed its shares for trading on NASDAQ. As a result of the
reregistration and relisting, one plaintiff has indicated that it will dismiss its action, and the second plaintiff has reserved its rights to modify its action. While the Company believes that its positions are meritorious, it is not feasible to
predict the outcome of the aforementioned actions. In the opinion of the Company, the above-mentioned actions are either adequately covered by insurance or, if not so covered, should not ultimately result in liability that would have a material
adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of the Company.

Executive Overview

Syms is an off-price retailer which operates a chain of thirty-three apparel stores located throughout the United States in the Northeastern and middle Atlantic, the Midwest, Southeast and Southwest regions. Syms stores
offer a broad range of first quality, in-season merchandise bearing nationally recognized designer and brand-name labels in men’s, women’s and children’s apparel.

The Company experienced lower sales and profits in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. Total store sales decreased approximately 5.0%, and comparable store sales declined .9% compared to fiscal 2006. The Company’s
continued focus on improving gross margin levels resulted in the gross profit percentage increasing from 40.29% to 41.17%, an increase of .88%. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and occupancy costs declined
approximately $2,247,000 in fiscal 2007 reflective of cost reduction strategies primarily involving retail store operations, offset by approximately $443,000 in higher advertising costs reflective of more extensive media coverage. In fiscal 2008, we
anticipate continuing to focus on sales maximization, expense and inventory management designed to maintain or improve our strong cash position and minimize our debt.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the appropriate application of certain accounting
policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty,
the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the financial statements.

The Company believes its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required by the policies, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are constantly
reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, the Company has found the application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined
using necessary estimates.

The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Financial Statements, located in this Annual Report. The Company has also identified certain critical
accounting policies that are described below.

Merchandise Inventory– Inventory is stated at the lower of cost of market, FIFO retail method. Inventory cost and the resulting gross
margins are calculated by applying a cost to retail ratio between the costs of goods available for sale and the retail value of inventories. The significant estimates used are for markdowns and shrinkage.

Factors considered by the Company in the determination of permanent markdowns include current and anticipated demand, customer preferences, age of the merchandise, fashion trends and weather
conditions. In addition, inventory is also evaluated against corporate pre-determined historical markdown trends. When a decision is made to permanently markdown merchandise, the resulting gross margin reduction is recognized in the period the
markdown is recorded. The timing of the decision, particularly when close to the balance sheet date, can have a significant effect on the results of operations.

Shrinkage is estimated as a percentage of sales for the period from the date of the last physical inventory to the end of the fiscal year. Physical inventories are taken at least annually for
all stores and inventory records are adjusted accordingly. The shrinkage rate from the most recent physical inventory, in combination with historical experience, is used as the standard for the shrinkage accrual following the physical inventory.

The Company has found the use of these estimates to be appropriate and actual results have not differed materially. However, the Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause its future estimates to differ materially from past experience.

Long-lived Assets-In evaluation of the fair value, future benefits and any potential impairment of value
of long-lived assets, the Company performs an analysis of the anticipated discounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived assets. If the carrying value of the related asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the Company reduces the
carrying value to its fair value, which is generally calculated using discounted cash flows. Various factors including future sales growth and profit margins are included in this analysis. To the extent these future projections or our strategies
change, the conclusion regarding impairment may differ from the Company’s current estimates.

Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance– The Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies
in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. During fiscal 2006 the Company determined that its valuation allowance was no longer necessary thereby increasing income by $1,000,000.  Should the Company determine that it will not be able to
realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset will be charged to income in the period such determination is made.

Results of Operations

The following discussion compares the fiscal years ended March 1, 2008, March 3, 2007 and February 25, 2006. The fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 was comprised of 52 weeks; the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 was comprised
of 53 weeks and the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006 was comprised of 52 weeks.

Fiscal Year Ended March 1, 2008 (Fiscal 2007) Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 3, 2007 (Fiscal 2006)

Net sales for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 were $267,149,000, a decrease of $14,029,000 (5%) as compared to net sales of $281,178,000 for the fiscal year ended March 3,
2007. The decrease in sales is largely attributable to the closure of four locations in the prior fiscal period and concomitant reduction in sales attributable to those locations coupled with the loss of one week of sales in this fiscal year (52
weeks in fiscal 2007 versus 53 weeks in fiscal 2006) with one week’s sales averaging approximately $5.1 million. Comparable store sales in fiscal 2007 were down less than .9% or approximately $2.3 million, reflective of reductions in sales
across most retail locations. In our comparable store computation, we only include locations that were open for a period of at least twelve months and stores that were open during both fiscal years. We opened no new locations in fiscal 2007 and
there was no expansion in square footage in existing stores.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 was $109,981,000 or 41.2% of net sales compared with $113,289,000 or 40.3% of net sales for the prior year, a decrease of $3,308,000 or 2.9% . Gross profit percentage
increased .88% in fiscal 2007 primarily reflective of improved physical controls over inventory coupled with reductions in mark-downs reflective of changes in inventory mix. The Company’s gross profit may not be comparable to those of other
entities that include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold because the Company excludes a portion of those costs from gross profit. Instead, the Company includes such costs in other items such as SG&A and
occupancy costs.

SG&A expense for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 was $73,953,000 or 27.7% of net sales compared with $75,692,000 or 27.9% of net sales for the prior year, a decrease of $1,739,000 or 2.3% . SG&A expenses
decreased primarily as a result of the reduction in number of retail locations in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 along with reductions in office payroll offset by reductions in royalty income due to fewer revenue-generating licensing agreements
and increased professional fees.

Advertising expense for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 was $8,561,000 or 3.2% of net sales compared with $8,118,000 or 2.9% of net sales for the prior year, an increase of $443,000 or 5.5% due primarily to greater
penetration across all lines of media.

Occupancy costs for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 were $17,329,000 or 6.5% of net sales compared with $17,837,000 or 6.3% of net sales for the prior year, a decrease of $508,000 or 2.8% . The decrease in occupancy
costs is largely attributable to the reduction in number of retail locations in fiscal 2007 offset by higher common area charges at leased locations coupled with higher utility costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 was $7,659,000 compared with $8,205,000 for the prior year, both amounts at 2.9% of net sales during both fiscal years. Depreciation and
amortization expense declined $546,000 or 6.7% largely as a result of the reduction in number of retail locations in fiscal 2007 and the correlated reduction in assets employed.

During fiscal 2007 the Company recorded an impairment charge of $745,000 relating to the closure of a store in Cleveland, Ohio in July 2007. A contract for sale of this property has been executed and is pending closure. In
fiscal 2006 the Company recorded a gain of $10,424,000 from the sale of its properties in Rochester, New York and Dallas, Texas. No sales of Company properties occurred in fiscal 2007.

Net income before taxes for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 was $3,136,000 or 1.2% of net sales compared with $15,951,000 or 5.7% of net sales for the prior year, a decrease of $12,815,000. However, $10,424,000 of that
decrease was attributable to the sale of properties in fiscal 2006 that did not recur in fiscal 2007. Excluding the gain from the sale of properties, net income before taxes in fiscal 2006 was $5,527,000 or 1.9% of net sales.

For the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 the effective income tax rate was 74.3% as compared to 40.1% for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate in fiscal 2007 reflects the unfavorable
impact of permanent differences of certain expense items not deductible for tax purposes and an adjustment of the prior year under accrual.

Fiscal Year Ended March 3, 2007 (Fiscal 2006) Compared to Fiscal Year Ended February 25, 2006 (Fiscal 2005)

Net sales for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 were $281,178,000, an increase of $789,000 (.3%) as compared to net sales of $280,389,000 for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006. The increase in sales is largely
attributable to the extra week in this fiscal year (53 weeks in fiscal 2006 versus 52 weeks in fiscal 2005) which amounted to approximately $3,600,000. Comparable store sales were up 1.2% for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 compared to the
fiscal year ended February 25, 2006. Comparable sales excluding the fifty-third week would be approximately $276,800,000 which would be a decrease of approximately $300,000. In our comparable store computation, we only include stores that have been
open for a period of at least twelve months and stores that were open during both fiscal years. We did not have any expansion in square footage in our existing stores in fiscal years 2006 and 2005.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 was $113,289,000, an increase of $213,000 (40.3% as a percentage of net sales) as compared to $113,076,000 (40.3% as a percentage of net sales) for the fiscal year ended
February 25, 2006. The Company’s gross profit may not be comparable to those of other entities, which include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold because the Company excludes a portion of those costs
from gross profit. Instead, the Company includes such costs in other items, such as selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and occupancy costs.

SG&A expense was $75,692,000 (26.9% as a percentage of net sales) for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 as compared to $73,571,000 (26.2% as a percentage of net sales) for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006. An
increase in store payroll resulting from salary increases at existing stores, and a one-time severance payment to a senior executive, as well as increased health benefits largely accounts for this increase.

Advertising expense for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 was $8,118,000 (2.9% as a percentage of net sales, as compared to $8,097,000 (2.9% as a percentage of net sales) for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006.

Occupancy costs were $17,837,000 (6.3% as a percentage of net sales) for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 as compared to $17,370,000 (6.2% as a percentage of net sales) for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006. The
increase in occupancy of approximately $467,000 is largely the result of increased utility costs due in large part to increased cost of energy.

Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $8,205,000 (2.9% as a percentage of net sales) for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 as compared to $8,821,000 (3.2% as a percentage of net sales) for the fiscal year
ended February 25, 2006. This decline in depreciation expense resulted from some assets becoming fully depreciated and the closing of the Rochester, New York store.

The results for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 reflects a gain of $10,424,000 resulting from the sale in May 2006 of the land and building of its two stores located in Rochester, New York
and Dallas, Texas. This action was taken by the Company as part of its continued efforts to improve profitability. The Dallas store was replaced by a store located in Plano, Texas which opened in May 2006 and is a leased property.

The net income before taxes was $15,951,000 for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 as compared to $6,197,000 for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006. The improvement in net income before taxes resulted from the gain
resulting from the sale of real estate of $10,424,000 as noted above.

For the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007 the effective income tax was 40.1% as compared to 44.5% for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2006. The valuation allowance which previously related to state net operating loss
forwards amounting to $1,000,000 was reversed in the current year since its realization is more likely than not.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at March 1, 2008 was $57,090,000, a decrease of $10,341,000 from March 3, 2007, and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.57 to 1 as compared to 2.88 to 1
at March 3, 2007. The Company’s merchandise inventory was $2,277,000 higher this year primarily because the Easter holiday fell on an earlier date than in fiscal 2006 which required earlier merchandise receipts. Accounts receivable at March 1,
2008 increased $719,000 over March 3, 2007 due to credit card payment timing differences. The decrease in working capital is largely attributable to the payment of a cash dividend aggregating $8,820,000 and the purchase of treasury shares for an
aggregate of $1,703,000.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $4,276,000 for fiscal 2007 as compared to $13,189,000 for fiscal 2006. This decrease is primarily due to increased inventories as planned by
management, increases in other assets and increases in accounts payable offset by reductions in accrued expenses and taxes payable. Net cash used in investing activities was $9,770,000 for fiscal 2007 as compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $8,667,000 for fiscal 2006. Included in the fiscal 2006 amount are the proceeds from the Dallas and Rochester real estate sales. Purchases of property and equipment totaled $9,787,000 and $7,629,000 for fiscal years 2007 and 2006,
respectively. This increase resulted primarily from the purchase of air rights from a building adjacent to the location owned by the Company at Trinity Place in New York City for approximately $3.1 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $10,514,000 for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2008 as compared to $23,951,000 for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007. For fiscal 2007, this amount
includes the payment of dividends of $8,820,000 and purchase of treasury shares for an aggregate of $1,703,000. Included in this amount for fiscal 2006 are the purchase of treasury shares and the related party purchase adjustment of real estate (net
of taxes).

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with a bank for a line of credit not to exceed $30,000,000 through May 1, 2008. The agreement contains financial covenants with respect to
consolidated tangible net worth as defined, as working capital and maximum capital expenditures, including dividends (defined to include cash repurchases of capital stock), as well as other financial ratios. The Company has satisfied its operating
and capital expenditure requirements, including those for the operations and expansion of stores, from internally generated funds. For the fiscal years ended March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit
agreement. At March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007, the Company had $869,000 and $956,000, respectively, in outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit agreement.

The Company has planned capital expenditures of approximately $4,000,000 for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2009.

On July 12, 2007 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the declaration of a cash dividend of $.60 per share to all shareholders of record on July 26, 2007 resulting in an aggregate
payment of $8,820,000. On June 5, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company through June 1, 2008 of up to 2,900,000 shares of common stock at prevailing market prices. During the year ended March 1, 2008,
the Company purchased 113,797 treasury shares at a total cost of $1,703,000 which represented approximately .8% of the Company’s shares outstanding for the fiscal year then ended. During the year ended March 3, 2007, the Company purchased
132,400 shares at a total cost of $2,442,841 which represented approximately .9% of its shares outstanding on March 3, 2007. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s tender offer, dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 27, 2006, which expired on May 26, 2006, the Company purchased 418,474 shares of Common Stock at $18 per share for a total of $7,532,534. The shares purchased represented approximately 2.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares outstanding
on March 3, 2007. The Company also acquired 89,590 common stock shares at a total cost of $1,757,848 on the exercise of stock options which were paid with the Company’s common stock.

Management believes that existing cash, internally generated funds, trade credit and funds available from the revolving credit agreement will be sufficient for working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the
fiscal year 2008.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of inflation on its operations, it does not believe inflation has had a material effect on sales or results of operations for its last three fiscal
years.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

April 25, 2008

To the Stockholders’ of Syms Corp.

The management of Syms Corp. is responsible for the preparation, integrity, objectivity and fair presentation of the financial statements and other financial information presented in this
report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect the effects of certain judgments and estimates made by management.

In order to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses such controls and did so most recently for our financial reporting as of March
1, 2008. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, referred to
as COSO. Our assessment included the documentation and understanding of our internal control over financial reporting. We have evaluated the design effectiveness and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls to form our conclusion.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets, providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, assuring
that receipts and expenditures are being made in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors and providing reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets
that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on this assessment, the undersigned officers concluded that our internal controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in
our periodic SEC filings and that information required to be disclosed by us in these periodic filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that our internal controls are
effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, which consists of independent, non-executive directors, meets regularly with management, the internal auditors and the independent registered
public accountants to review accounting, reporting, auditing and internal control matters. The committee has direct and private access to both internal and external auditors.

BDO Seidman, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who audits our financial statements, has audited internal control over financial reporting as of March 1, 2008 and has
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

/s/ Marcy SymsMarcy SymsChief Executive Officer/s/ Philip A. PiscopoPhilip A. PiscopoChief Financial Officer

(c) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and the ShareholdersSyms CorpSecaucus, New Jersey

We have audited Syms Corp’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, as of March 1, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Syms Corp’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit also included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists
and evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Syms Corp maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 1, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheets of Syms Corp as of March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007 and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 1, 2008 and our report dated April 25, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Syms Corp as of March 1, 2008 and March 3, 20007 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about

significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Syms Corp at March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 1, 2008,in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

|  
|e. | Concentrations of Credit Risk– The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The
Company has substantially all of its cash in banks. Such cash balances at times exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.                                                                               
|  
|f. | Receivables– Receivables represent third party credit card receivables.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|  
|g. | Merchandise Inventories- Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis, as determined by the retail
inventory method.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|  
|h. | Property and Equipment- Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are principally determined by the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:

|Buildings and improvements |  | 15 - 39 years                               
|-------------------------- |  | --------------------------------------------
|Machinery and equipment    |  | 4 - 7 years                                 
|Furniture and fixtures     |  | 7-10 years

|Computer software          |  | 3 years                                     

|   | The Company’s policy is to amortize leasehold improvements over the original lease term and not include any renewal terms. The Company’s policy is to capitalize costs incurred during the
application-development stage for software bought and further customized by outside vendors for the Company’s use. Computer software is included in property, plant and equipment – net on the balance sheet.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  
|i. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets– The
    Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes
    in circumstances indicate that the  carrying amount of the assets may not
    be fully recoverable. The Company considers relevant cash flow, management’s
    strategic plans, significant decreases in the market value of the asset and
    other available information in assessing whether the carrying value of the
    assets can be recovered. When such events occur, the Company compares the
    carrying amount of the assets to undiscounted expected future cash flows
    from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If this comparison indicates
    an impairment, the carrying amount would then be compared to the fair value
    of the long-lived asset. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount
    by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
    The difference would be recorded as an impairment of assets.

|j. | Income Taxes -Deferred income taxes reflect the future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial
reporting amounts at year end.

|k. | Accrued Expenses –Accrued expenses include accrued payroll of $1,607,000 and $4,021,000 in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|  
|l. | Obligation to Customers -Obligations to customers represent credits issued for returned merchandise as well as gift certificates. When the Company sells a gift
certificate to a customer, it is recorded as a liability in the period it occurred. When the customer redeems the gift certificate for the purchase of merchandise, a sale is recorded and the liability reduced.

|m. | Use of Estimates-
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
    generally accepted in the United States of America requires  management to
    make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
    and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
    date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
    expenses  during the reporting period. Significant estimates include inventory
    provisions, sales returns, self-insurance accruals and lives of long-lived
    assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|  
|n. | Revenue Recognition- The Company recognizes revenue at the “point of sale”. Allowance for sales returns is recorded as a component of net sales in the
period in which the related sales are recorded.

|o. | Comprehensive Income– Comprehensive income was equivalent to the Company’s net income for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005.

|p. | Segment Reporting- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”
establishes standards for reporting information about a company’s operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company operates in a single
operating segment - the operation of off-price retail stores. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales. The Company’s merchandise sales mix by product category for the last three fiscal years was as
follows:

|   | The Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue.

|  
|q. | Gross Profit- The Company’s gross profit may not be comparable to those of other entities, since other entities may include all of the costs related to their
distribution network in cost of goods sold and others, like the Company, exclude a portion of those costs from gross profit and instead, include them in other items, such as selling, general and administrative expenses and occupancy
costs.
|  
|r. | Computer Software Costs– The Company capitalizes the cost of software developed or purchased for internal use.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|  
|s. | Other Assets– Other assets include $20,549,000 and $18,591,000 of cash surrender value of officer’s life insurance, and $878,000 and $715,000 of other
miscellaneous assets such as security deposits, step rent receivables and deferred lease acquisition costs at March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007, respectively.

|t. | Advertising Costs– Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed at the time the advertising occurs. Advertising and sales promotion costs were
$8,561,000, $8,118,000 and $8,097,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company does not receive any allowances and credits from vendors in connection with the purchase or promotion of the vendor’s product, such as, co-operative
advertising and other considerations.

|u. | Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation– Effective
    February 26, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based
    Payment”
(“FAS123(R)”). Under FAS123(R), share-based compensation cost is
measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is
recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company adopted
the provisions  of FAS123(R) using a modified prospective application. Under
this method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted,
modified or settled after the date of adoption, as well as for any unvested awards
that were granted  prior to the date of adoption. Prior periods are not revised
for comparative purposes. Because the Company previously adopted only the pro
forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, it will recognize compensation cost
relating to the unvested portion  of awards granted prior to the date of adoption
using the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same attribution
method used to determine the pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, except that
forfeitures rates will be estimated for all  options, as required by FAS123(R).
|  
|   | The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the
Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected dividend yield, expected life and forfeiture rates. There
were no options granted during the fiscal years ended March 1, 2008 or March 3, 2007 and all options previously issued were fully vested in prior years. Accordingly, there was no effect of adopting FAS 123(R). FAS 123(R) requires that excess tax
benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows instead of operating cash inflows.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|  
|   | As of March 1, 2008, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to options granted under our plans that will be recognized in future periods.

|   | Awards granted prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R) were accounted for under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB
25”), and its related interpretations. Under this intrinsic value method there was no compensation expense recognized for the twelve month period ended March 1, 2008 because all options had exercise prices equal to the market value of the
underlying stock on the date of grant.

|   | Pro forma information, assuming the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, as amended by Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123” is presented below. The fair value of each
option grant is estimated on the date of each grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no stock options granted in fiscal 2007 and 2006 and a total of 97,500 options were granted in 2005. The fair value generated by the
Black-Scholes model may not be indicative of the future benefit, if any, that may be received by the option holder.

      for fiscal 2005 resulted in a compensation expense attribution of $773,000.
      There were 739,000 options outstanding and exercisable at a weighted average
      price of $8.08. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes calculations
      were at an interest rate of 4.23% in 2005. Stock volatility was 0.33 for
      fiscal 2005. The expected life of the options outstanding range from .6
  to 9.3 years. There is no expected annual dividend for the indefinite future.


New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The statement’s objective is to improve financial reporting by allowing entities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings
caused by measurement of related assets and liabilities using different attributes without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is to be applied
prospectively. This statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements for the period ended March 1, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” which
requires a business entity to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in
comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. SFAS No. 158 also requires a business entity to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer
with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The
adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have any impact on the determination of our financial results.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS 157). This statement does not require any new fair value measurements
but rather, provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this statement relate to the definition of
fair value, the methods used to estimate fair value and the requirement for expanded disclosures about estimates of fair value. This statement was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods with those
fiscal years. Subsequent to the issuance of SFAS 157, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157(FSP 157-2). FSP 157-2 delays the
effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) for fiscal years after November
15, 2008. The effect of adoption of FAS 157 and FSP 157-2 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations is not expected to be material.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (FIN 48).  FIN 48
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. A complete discussion of FIN 48 may be found in Note 3, “Income Taxes”, of these notes to

In addition to the above, the Company has two properties, in Ohio and Pennsylvania, that are held for sale with the Ohio property currently contracted for sale and in conjunction therewith, the Company has recorded an
impairment charge in fiscal 2007 related to this property of $745,000.

The Company purchased from Sy Syms (it’s Chairman) the Westchester property and Addison land for approximately $18,521,500 in fiscal year 2006. Since Mr. Syms is a major shareholder of the Company, the property was
recorded by the Company at its historical cost basis. The amount paid for the property in excess of this cost basis was recorded, net of deferred taxes of $5.9 million, as a charge to retained earnings.

Based on management’s assessment it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized by future taxable income or tax planning strategies.

Effective March 4, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48), which requires the use of a
two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosures regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. The first step is recognition: we determine whether it is more likely than
not that a tax position be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold, we presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in one or more of the following: an increase in a liability for income taxes payable, a reduction of an
income tax refund receivable, a reduction in a deferred tax asset, or an increase in a deferred tax liability.

The Company classifies interest expense and penalties as part of its provision for income taxes based upon applicable federal and state interest/underpayment percentages. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company
recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment, $250,000 in interest in its balance sheet as of March 4, 2007. Interest was computed on the difference between the provision for income taxes recognized in accordance with FIN 48 and benefit previously
taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s federal, state and local income tax returns.

Examinations by federal tax authorities have been completed through fiscal 2000. State examinations occur at various dates covering various periods one of the larger of which, the State of New Jersey, has concluded its
examination through fiscal 2005.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions and changes thereto during fiscal 2007 were as follows:

NOTE 4      -      BANK CREDIT FACILITIES

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with a bank for a line of credit not to exceed $30,000,000 through May 1, 2008. The agreement contains financial covenants, with respect to consolidated tangible net worth, as
defined, working capital and maximum capital expenditures, dividends (defined to include cash repurchases of capital stock), as well as other financial ratios.  The Company is in compliance with all covenants as of March 1, 2008.  The Company has
satisfied its operating and capital expenditure requirements, including those for the operations and expansion of stores, from internally generated funds. For the fiscal years ended March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007 there were no borrowings under the
revolving credit agreement. At March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007, the Company had $869,000 and $956,000, respectively, in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The outstanding letters of credit for the fiscal years ended
March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007 are part of the unsecured $30,000,000 line of credit.

Total interest charges incurred for the fiscal years ended March 1, 2008, March 3, 2007 and February 25, 2006 were $171,000, $219,000, and $181,000, respectively. There was no capitalized interest for fiscal years 2007,
2006 and 2005.

NOTE 5      -      FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying values at March 1, 2008 and March 3, 2007 due to the short term maturities of these
instruments.

NOTE 6      -      PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

|a. | Pension Plan -The Company has a defined benefit pension plan for all employees other than those covered under collective bargaining agreements through
December 31, 2006. This Pension Plan was frozen effective December 31, 2006.                                                                                                                           
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  
|   | The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s highest average pay during any five consecutive years within the ten-year period prior to retirement. Pension plan costs are funded
annually. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future.
|  
|   | The investment strategy objectives of the plan are continued growth and income.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|  
|   | All plan assets are managed by outside investment managers. Asset allocations are reviewed on a regular basis by the investment management company. Equity securities are primarily S&P 500 which make
up 54% of plan assets. Fixed securities make up the remaining 46% and are made up of the Lehman Aggregate and Merrill Lynch 1-3 year Government Corp.  

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date.

The Company adopted SFAS 158 for fiscal 2006. Under the provisions of SFAS 158, the Company is required to recognize in its consolidated balance sheet the funded status of a benefit plan. This is measured as the difference
between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation. For the Pension Plan, this is equal to the accumulated benefit obligation.

In addition, SFAS 158 requires the Company to recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as
components of net periodic benefit cost. On October 1, 2006 (the beginning of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006), the Company changed its method of accounting for its defined benefit plan to a method that accelerates the recognition of gains or
losses. Gains or losses represent changes in the amount of either the projected benefit obligations or plan assets resulting from changes in assumptions, actuarial gains/losses and actual investment returns.  SFAS 158 did not change the recognition
of pension income/expense in the statement of operations. Since the Company has recognized the funded status of its defined benefit pension plans since its adoption of the

Accelerated Method, the adoption
      of SFAS 158 did not have a material effect on the Company’s reported
      pension liability or pension expense in any period presented. Effective
      with fiscal 2008, the measurement date for the plan will coincide with
      the fiscal year end date.


| | b. | Profit-Sharing and 401(k) Plan- The Company has a profit-sharing plan and 401(k) plan for all employees other than those covered under collective bargaining
agreements. In 1995, the Company established a defined contribution savings plan 401(k) for substantially all of its eligible employees. Employees may contribute a percentage of their salary to the plan subject to statutory limits. The Company made
contributions to this plan amounting to $450,000 in fiscal 2007, $225,000 in fiscal 2006 and $200,000 in fiscal 2005.

|   | In December 2007, the Company announced its decision to voluntarily delist its common stock from trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and, given that there were fewer than 300
holders of record of its common shares, simultaneously deregister its common stock under federal securities laws. The Company’s decision to deregister with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and delist from NYSE was
principally motivated by the desire to minimize the financial and administrative burdens associated with being an SEC reporting company and further minimize or eliminate the compliance obligations incident to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In
January 2008 certain institutional investors commenced a campaign to cause certain shareholders to register shares individually and simultaneously brought two actions seeking injunctive relief from the aforementioned deregistration and delisting,
counsel fees and unspecified damages. Although the Company believes that its actions were appropriate, the Company determined that the costs and expenses associated with protracted litigation could not be justified and, in February 2008,
reregistered its common stock and listed its shares for trading on NASDAQ. As a result of the reregistration and relisting, one plaintiff has agreed to dismiss its action, reserving a right to pursue counsel fees, and the second plaintiff has
advised the Court and counsel that it intends to amend its pending action. In the opinion of the Company, the above-mentioned actions should not have a material adverse impact on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of the
Company.

NOTE 8      -      PREFERRED STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series of preferred stock. The Board of Directors is authorized to establish the number of shares to be included in each such
series, and to fix the designation, relative rights, preferences, qualifications and limitations of the shares of each such series.

NOTE 9      -      STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company’s Amended and Restated Stock Option and Appreciation Plan allows for the granting of incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended), non-qualified
stock options or stock appreciation rights. The plan requires that incentive stock options be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of the option
for holders of more than 10% of the voting rights of the Company must be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Non-qualified options and stock appreciation rights may be granted at any exercise price.
The Company has reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. The Company is no longer issuing options under its Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option and Appreciation Plan.

No option or stock appreciation rights may be granted under the Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan after July 28, 2013. The maximum exercise period for any option or stock appreciation right under the plan is
ten years from the date the option is granted (five years for any optionee who holds more than 10% of the voting rights of the Company).

On July 14, 2005, at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Plan"), which 2005 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Company on April 7, 2005 subject to shareholder approval. The 2005 Plan permits the grant of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance units, performance shares, cash-based awards and other
share-based awards.  Key employees, non-employee directors, and third party service providers of the Company who are selected by a committee designated by the Board of Directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2005 Plan. The
maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan is 850,000, subject to certain adjustments in the event of changes to the Company’s capital structure.

The 2005 Plan requires that incentive stock options be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of such options for holders
of more than 10% of the voting stock of the Company must be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of non-qualified options and stock appreciation rights must not be less than fair
market value.

The maximum exercise period for any option or stock appreciation right under the 2005 Plan is ten years from the date the option is granted (five years for any incentive stock options issued to a person who holds more than
10% of the voting stock of the Company).

The 2005 Plan permits the Company to issue restricted shares, restricted share units, performance units, cash-based awards and other share-based awards with such term and conditions (including applicable vesting conditions)
as the Company shall determine, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the 2005 Plan.

Effective February 25, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS123(R)”). Under FAS123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based
on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS123(R) using a modified prospective application.  Under this method, compensation cost is recognized
for all share-based payments granted, modified or settled after the date of adoption, as well as for any unvested awards that were granted prior to the date of adoption.  Prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. Because the Company
previously adopted only the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, it will recognize compensation cost relating to the unvested portion of awards granted prior to the date of adoption using the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and
the same attribution method used to determine the pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, except that forfeitures rates will be estimated for all options, as required by FAS123(R).

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company’s stock. The
risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected dividend yield, expected life and forfeiture rates. The aggregate intrinsic value of
the outstanding and exercisable options during fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 was approximately $745,000 and $2,387,000, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 was approximately $7,000 and
$5,792,000.

NOTE 11      -      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Included in the Statements of Operations are the expenses relating to a real estate lease with Sy Syms, Chairman of the Board of the Company, for the Elmsford, New York store. During fiscal years 2006 and 2005, the Company
paid to Mr. Syms $640,198 and $796,500 respectively, in fixed rent.
