Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

AnnTaylor Stores Corporation (the “Company”) issued a Press Release, dated March 11, 2011. A copy of the Press Release is appended to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Press Release furnished with this report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is providing operating income, net income and earnings per share data for the quarters and years ended January 29, 2011 and January 30, 2010 that exclude costs associated with the Company’s previously-announced restructuring program and, for the year ended January 30, 2010, asset impairment charges. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist the reader’s understanding of its continuing business operations by removing the impact of these charges. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
