|OTHER COMMENTS                    | OTHER COMMENTSIncluded in accrued expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were certain incentive compensation accruals of $41.1million and $99.4million as ofFebruary 2, 2020andFebruary 3, 2019, respectively.The Company’s asset retirement liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and relate to the Company’s obligation to dismantle or remove leasehold improvements from leased office, retail store or warehouse locations at the end of a lease term in order to restore a facility to a condition specified in the lease agreement. The Company records the fair value of the liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is legally or contractually incurred. Upon initial recognition of the asset retirement liability, an asset retirement cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the asset by the same amount as the liability. In periods subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement cost is recognized as expense through depreciation over the asset’s useful life. Changes in the liability for the asset retirement obligations are recognized for the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows. Accretion expense is recognized in SG&A expenses for the impacts of increasing the discounted fair value to its estimated settlement value.The following table presents the activity related to the Company’s asset retirement liabilities, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, for each of the last two years:(In millions)20192018Balance at beginning of year$32.3$27.1Business acquisitions1.4—Liabilities incurred3.97.4Liabilities settled (payments)(2.2)(1.7)Accretion expense0.40.4Revisions in estimated cash flows0.4(0.1)Currency translation adjustment(0.5)(0.8)Balance at end of year$35.7$32.3The Company is a party to certain litigation which, in management’s judgment, based in part on the opinions of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.Wuxi Jinmao Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.
