Why we are filing this Amendment to our Form 10-K
 
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended January 29, 2010, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2010 (the “10-K Report”), in order to submit Exhibit 101 to the 10-K Report as required by Item 601(b)(101) of Regulation S-K and Rule 405 of Regulation S-T.  Exhibit 101 was omitted from our timely filed 10-K Report due to unanticipated technical difficulties encountered during the electronic transmission of the 10-K Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission preventing the exhibit’s submission.

Exhibit 101 provides the following items from our 10-K Report formatted in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL): (i) Consolidated Statements of Earnings for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 29, 2010; (ii) Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 29, 2010 and January 30, 2009; (iii) Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 29, 2010; (iv) Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 29, 2010; (v) the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 29, 2010, tagged as blocks of text; and (vi) Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts and Reserves included in Part IV Item 15(a)2, tagged as a block of text.

Except for Exhibit 101 submitted herewith, the changes to the cover page and the filing of required certifications, this Amendment No. 1 makes no other changes to the 10-K Report as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and posted on our web site on March 30, 2010.
