COLDWATER CREEK INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Nature of Business and Organizational Structure

Coldwater Creek Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Sandpoint, Idaho, is a multi-channel, specialty retailer of women’s apparel, accessories, jewelry and gift items. The Company operates in two reportable operating segments: Retail and Direct. The Company’s Retail Segment consists of its full-line retail stores, resort stores and outlet stores. The Company’s Direct Segment consists of its catalog and Internet-based e-commerce businesses.

The Company has four wholly-owned subsidiaries. Three of these subsidiaries currently have no substantive assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses. The fourth subsidiary, Aspenwood Advertising, Inc., produces, designs and distributes catalogs and other advertising materials used in Coldwater Creek’s business.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Fiscal Periods

References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which such fiscal year commences. The Company’s floating fiscal year-end typically results in 13-week fiscal quarters and a 52-week fiscal year, but will occasionally give rise to an additional week resulting in a 14-week fiscal fourth quarter and a 53-week fiscal year. References to three-month periods, or fiscal quarters, refer to the quarter ended on the date indicated.

Preparation of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Coldwater Creek pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These consolidated financial statements have not been audited. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The adjustments consist solely of normal recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and related notes, included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.

The Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows to be realized in future periods.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenue and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Examples of these estimates and assumptions are embodied in the Company’s sales returns accrual and its inventory obsolescence calculation. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s historical results as well as management’s future expectations. The Company’s actual results could vary from its estimates and assumptions.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior fiscal year’s interim period have been reclassified to be consistent with the current fiscal year’s interim presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

Additionally, the common stock outstanding, retained earnings and net income per share amounts for all periods presented reflect two 50% stock dividends, each having the effect of a 3-for-2 stock split, declared by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 12, 2004 and February 12, 2005.

Restatement of prior financial information

The Company restated its consolidated balance sheet at May 1, 2004 and its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended May 1, 2004. The restatement also affects the other quarterly periods of fiscal 2004, the balance sheet at January 31, 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flow for the fiscal year then ended as well as periods prior to fiscal 2004. The restatement corrects an error relating to the Company’s recognition of rent expenses under Financial Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin No. 85-3, “Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases.” For additional information regarding this restatement, see “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies, Restatement of Prior Financial Information” to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2004. The Company did not amend its previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the restatement, therefore the financial statements and related financial information contained in such reports should no longer be relied upon. Throughout this Form 10-Q, all referenced amounts for affected prior periods and prior period comparisons reflect the balances and amounts on a restated basis.

As a result of this restatement, the Company’s financial results have been adjusted as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
