Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
August 2, 2003
(Unaudited)

ITEM  1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Chico’s FAS, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Chico’s” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2003, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 28, 2003. The February 1, 2003 balance sheet amounts were derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report.

     Operating results for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Note 2.  Stock-Based Compensation

     In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 148 does not amend SFAS 123 to require companies to account for their employee stock-based awards using the fair value method. However, the disclosure provisions are required for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they utilize the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS 123 or the intrinsic value method described in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25).

Note 2.  Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

     The Company uses the intrinsic value method for valuing its awards of stock options and recording the related compensation expense, if any, in accordance with APB 25. No stock-based employee or director compensation cost for stock options is reflected in net income, as all options granted during the period have exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to all stock-based employee compensation.
