TRANS WORLD ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Trans World Entertainment Corporation and subsidiaries (“the Company”) is one of the largest specialty retailers of entertainment products, including video, music, electronics, trend, video games and related products in the United States. The Company operates a chain of retail entertainment stores, primarily under the names f.y.e. for your entertainment and Suncoast Motion Pictures, and e-commerce sites, www.fye.com, www.wherehouse.com, and www.secondspin.com in a single industry segment. As of October 27, 2012, the Company operated 376 stores totaling approximately 2.3 million square feet in the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Liquidity and Cash Flows:
The Company’s primary sources of working capital are cash provided by operations and borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility (See Note 6 for further details). The Company’s cash flows fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to various items, including seasonality of sales and earnings, merchandise inventory purchases and returns and the related terms on purchases and capital expenditures. Management believes it will have adequate resources to fund its cash needs for the next twelve months and beyond, including its capital spending, its seasonal increase in merchandise inventory and other operating cash requirements and commitments. During Fiscal 2011, management carried out certain strategic initiatives in its efforts to reduce operating costs such as the elimination or curtailment of certain general and administrative expenses. Also, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011, management closed 50 stores. Management has continued many of the initiatives begun in 2011, as part of the execution of its operating plan for 2012; including a focus on the operation of a core base of stores, improved product selection based on customer preferences and industry changes, as well as further streamlining of its operations. An additional 15 stores closed in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012. The Company will continue to evaluate its store base in consideration of lease terms, conditions and expirations, including considering new and relocated stores. The Company anticipates closing 50% fewer stores during the fourth quarter of 2012 than it closed during the fourth quarter of 2011. See Note 10 Subsequent Events for further details on recent events impacting liquidity and cash flows.

Seasonality:
The Company’s business is seasonal in nature, with the fourth fiscal quarter constituting the Company’s peak selling period. In 2011, the fourth fiscal quarter accounted for approximately 36% of annual sales and all of its income from operations for the year. In anticipation of increased sales activity during these months, the Company purchases additional inventory and hires additional seasonal employees to supplement its core store sales staff. If, for any reason, the Company’s net sales were below seasonal norms during the fourth quarter, the Company’s operating results, particularly operating and net income, would be adversely affected. Additionally, quarterly sales results, in general, are affected by the timing of new product releases, store closings and the performance of existing stores.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consist of Trans World Entertainment Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Record Town, Inc. (“Record Town”), and Record Town’s subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all normal, recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations applicable to interim financial statements.

The information presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 28, 2012 has been derived from the Company’s January 28, 2012 audited consolidated financial statements. All other information has been derived from the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012.

Note 3. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 29, 2012, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, an amendment to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 introduces a new statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, which begins with net income (loss) and adds or deducts other recognized changes in assets and liabilities that are not included in net earnings, but are reported directly to equity, under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. For example, unrealized changes in pension benefit obligations are included in the measure of comprehensive income but are excluded from net earnings. The amendments became effective for the first quarter 2012 financial statements. The amendments affect only the display of those components of equity categorized as other comprehensive income and do not change existing recognition and measurement requirements that determine net earnings. (See Note 7)

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011 was $84,000 and $61,000, respectively, before income taxes. No deferred tax benefit was recorded against stock-based compensation expense for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011 was $212,000 and $244,000, respectively, before income taxes. No deferred tax benefit was recorded against stock-based compensation expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2011 and October 29, 2011.

As of October 27, 2012, there was approximately $0.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock award awards that is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

As of October 27, 2012, stock awards authorized for issuance under the Company’s plans total 20.6 million. Of these awards authorized for issuance, 5.4 million were granted and are outstanding, 4.2 million of which were vested and exercisable. Awards available for future grants at October 27, 2012 were 2.0 million.

The table below outlines the assumptions that the Company used to estimate the fair value of stock based awards granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012:

As of October 27, 2012, the intrinsic value of stock awards outstanding was $2.0 million and exercisable was $399,000.

Note 5. Defined Benefit Plans

The Company maintains a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for certain executive officers of the Company. The SERP provides eligible executives defined pension benefits that supplement benefits under other retirement arrangements.

Prior to June 1, 2003, the Company had provided the Board of Directors with a noncontributory, unfunded retirement plan (“Director Retirement Plan”) that paid retired directors an annual retirement benefit. Directors who were not yet vested in their retirement benefits as of June 1, 2003 had the present value of benefits already accrued as of the effective date converted to deferred shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Directors that were fully or partially vested in their retirement benefits were given a one-time election to continue to participate in the current retirement program or convert the present value of their benefits to deferred shares.

The measurement date for the SERP and Director Retirement Plan is each fiscal year end, using actuarial techniques which reflect estimates for mortality, turnover and expected retirement. In addition, management makes assumptions concerning future salary increases. Discount rates are generally established as of the measurement date using theoretical bond models that select high-grade corporate bonds with maturities or coupons that correlate to the expected payouts of the applicable liabilities.

The following represents the components of the net periodic pension cost related to the Company’s SERP and Director Retirement Plan for the respective periods:

During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, the Company did not make any cash contributions to the SERP or the Director Retirement Plan, and presently expects to pay approximately $103,000 in benefits relating to the SERP and $48,000 in benefits relating to the Director Retirement Plan during Fiscal 2012.

Note 6. Line of Credit
In May 2012, the Company entered into a $75 million credit facility (“Second Amended Credit Facility”) which amended its previous $100 million credit facility (“Amended Credit Facility”). The principal amount of all outstanding loans under the Second Amended Credit Facility together with any accrued but unpaid interest, are due and payable in May 2017, unless otherwise paid earlier pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Credit Facility. Payments of amounts due under the Second Amended Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Company.

9


The Second Amended Credit Facility includes customary provisions, including affirmative and negative covenants, which include representations, warranties and restrictions on additional indebtedness and acquisitions. The Second Amended Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, material adverse effect, bankruptcy, and certain changes of control. The Second Amended Credit Facility also contains other terms and conditions, including covenants around the number of store closings and allows for the payment of dividends with certain restrictions. It also changed the formula for interest rates. The Company is compliant with all covenants.

Interest under the Second Amended Credit Facility will accrue, at the election of the Company, at a Base Rate or LIBO Rate, plus, in each case, an Applicable Margin, which is determined by reference to the level of availability as defined in the Credit Agreement, with the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate loans ranging from 2.25% to 2.75% and the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate loans ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% is also payable on unused commitments.

The availability under the Second Amended Credit Facility is subject to limitations based on sufficient inventory levels. Based on inventory levels at the end of the quarter, the availability under the Second Amended Credit Facility was $64.4 million as of October 27, 2012. As of October 27, 2012, the Company didn’t have any borrowings outstanding under the Second Amended Credit Facility and had $ 645,000 in outstanding letter of credit obligations. The Company did not have any borrowings during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012.

As of October 29, 2011, the Company didn’t have any borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility and had $1.2 million in outstanding letter of credit obligations. The Company did not have any borrowings during Fiscal 2011.

Note 7. Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income that the Company reports in the condensed consolidated balance sheets represents the excess of accrued pension liability over accrued benefit cost, net of taxes, associated with the Company’s defined benefit plans. Comprehensive (loss) income was equal to the net income (loss) for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011.

Note 9. Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock (net of any assumed repurchases) that then shared in the earnings of the Company, if any. It is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average shares outstanding and additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued for the Company’s common stock awards from the Company’s Stock Award Plans.

For all periods presented, the impact of all outstanding stock awards was not considered because the Company reported a net loss and such impact would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share is the same. Weighted average shares includes vested deferred share awards not yet issued and outstanding of approximately 82,000 shares.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

On November 27, 2012, Record Town, Inc., a New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Trans World Entertainment Corporation completed the sale of real property owned by Record Town, Inc. in Miami, Florida to 501 Collins Owner, LLC. Record Town, Inc. received approximately $30.0 million in cash at closing as consideration. The Company expects to recognize a gain of over $20 million before taxes on the sale of the property.

On November 27, 2012, Trans World Entertainment Corporation, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Administrative Agent”) and certain other parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated April 15, 2010, entered into a Consent pursuant to which the Administrative Agent and certain required lenders agreed to consent to the use of a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of real property owned by Record Town, Inc. to pay a special cash dividend.

On November 27, 2012, our board of directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.47 per common share, payable Wednesday, December 26, 2012, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Monday, December 10, 2012. The ex-dividend date will be the close of business on December 6, 2012. The total special dividend payout is estimated to be $15 million.

TRANS WORLD ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011

Overview
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provides information that the Company’s management believes necessary to achieve an understanding of its financial statements and results of operations. To the extent that such analysis contains statements which are not of a historical nature, such statements are forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. These risks include, but are not limited to, changes in the competitive environment for the Company’s merchandise, including the entry or exit of non-traditional retailers of the Company’s merchandise to or from its markets; releases by the video, music and video games industries of an increased or decreased number of “hit releases”; general economic factors in markets where the Company’s merchandise is sold; and other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012.

At October 27, 2012, the Company operated 376 stores totaling approximately 2.3 million square feet in the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company’s stores offer predominantly entertainment products, including video and music. In total, these two categories represented 77% of the Company’s sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012. The balance of categories, including electronics, trend, video games and related products represented 23% of the Company’s sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012.

The Company’s results have been, and will continue to be, contingent upon management’s ability to understand industry trends and to manage the business in response to those trends and general economic trends. Management monitors a number of key performance indicators to evaluate its performance, including:

Sales and comparable store sales: The Company measures and reports the rate of comparable store sales change. A store is included in comparable store sales calculations at the beginning of its thirteenth full month of operation. Stores relocated/expanded or downsized are excluded from comparable store sales if the change in square footage is greater than 20%. Closed stores that were open for at least thirteen months are included in comparable store sales through the month immediately preceding the month of closing. The Company further analyzes sales by store format and by product category.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit: Gross profit is impacted primarily by sales volume, the mix of products sold, by discounts negotiated with vendors and discounts offered to customers. The Company records its distribution and product shrink expenses in cost of sales. Distribution expenses include those costs associated with receiving, shipping, inspecting and warehousing product and costs associated with product returns to vendors. Cost of sales further includes obsolescence costs and is reduced by the benefit of vendor allowances, net of direct reimbursement of expenses.

12


Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses: Included in SG&A expenses are payroll and related costs, occupancy charges, general operating and overhead expenses and depreciation charges (excluding those related to distribution operations, as disclosed in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). SG&A expenses also include asset impairment charges and write-offs, if any, and miscellaneous items, other than interest.

Balance Sheet and Ratios: The Company views cash, net inventory investment (merchandise inventory less accounts payable) and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) as relevant indicators of its financial position. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for further discussion of these items.

Net sales. Net sales decreased 16.6% and 15.6% during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year. The decline in sales for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods resulted primarily from a decrease in ending store count of 14.5% and a decrease in square footage of 20.6%, as the Company has closed or relocated larger less productive stores. While the Company believes a meaningful amount of sales was transferred to ongoing stores, there was a reduction of sales resulting from store closings.

Video:
Comparable store net sales in the video category increased 6% during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012. The increase for the quarter was driven by strong performance in our catalog business in both DVD and Blu-ray and strong new releases, including The Avengers and Hunger Games. The video category represented 45.4% of total net sales for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012 compared to 42.5% in the comparable quarter last year.

According to Warner Brothers Home Video, industry sales were down 5% during the period corresponding to the Company’s third fiscal quarter.

13


Music:
Comparable store net sales in the music category decreased 14% and 12% during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively. The music category represented 30.9% of total net sales for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012 compared to 34.6% in the comparable quarter last year.

According to Soundscan, total physical CD unit sales industry-wide were down 16% during the period corresponding to the Company’s third fiscal quarter.

Electronics:
Comparable store sales in the electronics category increased 2% and 10% during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively. The increase was driven by expanded product lines and improved selection. Electronics sales represented 9.6% of total net sales for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012 compared to 9.2% in the comparable quarter last year.

Trend:
Comparable store sales in the trend category increased 10% and 13% during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively. The increase was driven by expanded product lines and improved selection. Trend product represented 9.8% of total net sales for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012 compared to 8.8% in the comparable quarter last year.

Video Games:
Comparable store sales for video games decreased 20% and 14% during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively. Currently, 106 stores, or 28% of the company’s stores carry games. Games sales represent 4.3% of total net sales for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012 compared to 4.9% in the comparable quarter last year.

According to NPD Group, industry sales were down 24% during the period corresponding to the Company’s third fiscal quarter.

Gross profit decreased 14.6% and 12.8% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 as compared to the comparable periods last year. The decline in gross profit is due to the decline in net sales. The decline in net sales was partially offset by a 90 and 120 basis point increase in the gross profit as a percentage of net sales due to higher margin rates in a majority of product categories in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively.

For the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012, SG&A expenses decreased $8.0 million, or 18.1% on the net sales decline of 16.6% resulting in an 80 basis point improvement in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales. The decrease is primarily due to lower overhead expenses associated with the decrease in store count, lower occupancy expenses in ongoing stores and effective expense management.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, SG&A expenses decreased $29.1 million, or 20.7% on the net sales decline of 15.6% resulting in a 240 basis point improvement in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales. The decrease is primarily due to lower overhead expenses associated with the decrease in store count, lower occupancy expenses in ongoing stores and effective expense management.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was $513,000 and $1.8 million during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively, compared to $774,000 and $2.4 million during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2011. The reduction in interest expense was due to the impact of the Second Amended Credit Facility signed in May.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). As of January 28, 2012 and January 30, 2011, the Company had incurred cumulative three-year losses. Based on these cumulative three-year losses and other available objective evidence, management concluded that a full valuation allowance should be recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company has significant net operating losses carry forwards and other tax attributes that are available to offset projected taxable income and current taxes payable for the year ending February 2, 2013. The deferred tax impact resulting from the utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards and other tax attributes will be offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance. As of January 28, 2012, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $174.9 million for federal income tax purposes and approximately $310 million for state income tax purposes that expire at various times through 2030 and are subject to certain limitations and statutory expiration periods.

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011, the Company’s tax expense was associated with quarter-specific items attributable to interest accruals on related uncertain tax positions and state taxes based on modified gross receipts incurred for this thirteen week period.

For the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2011 the tax benefit associated with the quarter-specific items is primarily attributed to the net impact of the interest accrual related to uncertain tax positions and state taxes based on modified gross receipts incurred during this period.

For the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012, the Company’s net loss decreased $2.3 million to $2.2 million from a net loss of $4.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2011. The improvement in the net loss year over year was due to a higher gross margin percentage and a reduction in SG&A expenses partially offset by the decline in gross profit from lower sales.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, the Company’s net loss decreased $13.1 million to $1.3 million from a net loss of $14.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2011. The increase was due to a higher gross margin percentage and a reduction in SG&A expenses partially offset by the decline in gross profit from lower sales.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity and Cash Flows: The Company’s primary sources of working capital are cash provided by operations and borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility (See Note 6 for further details). The Company’s cash flows fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to various items, including seasonality of sales and earnings, merchandise inventory purchases and returns and the related terms on purchases and capital expenditures. Management believes it will have adequate resources to fund its cash needs for the next twelve months and beyond, including its capital spending, its seasonal increase in merchandise inventory and other operating cash requirements and commitments. During Fiscal 2011, management carried out certain strategic initiatives in its efforts to reduce operating costs such as the elimination or curtailment of certain general and administrative expenses. Also, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011, management closed 50 stores. Management has continued many of the initiatives begun in 2011, as part of the execution of its operating plan for 2012; including a focus on the operation of a core base of stores, improved product selection based on customer preferences and industry changes, as well as further streamlining of its operations. An additional 15 stores closed in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012. The Company will continue to evaluate its store base in consideration of lease terms, conditions and expirations, including considering new and relocated stores. The Company anticipates closing 50% fewer stores during the fourth quarter of 2012 than closed during the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Company does not expect any material changes in the mix (between equity and debt) or the relative cost of capital resources.

On November 27, 2012, Record Town, Inc., a New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Trans World Entertainment Corporation completed the sale of real property owned by Record Town, Inc. in Miami, Florida to 501 Collins Owner, LLC. Record Town, Inc. received approximately $30.0 million in cash at closing as consideration. The Company expects to recognize a gain of over $20 million before taxes on the sale of the property.

On November 27, 2012, Trans World Entertainment Corporation, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Administrative Agent”) and certain other parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated April 15, 2010, entered into a consent pursuant to which the Administrative Agent and certain required lenders agreed to consent to the use of a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of real property owned by Record Town, Inc. to pay a special cash dividend.

On November 27, 2012, our board of directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.47 per common share, payable Wednesday, December 26, 2012, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Monday, December 10, 2012. The ex-dividend date will be the close of business on December 6, 2012. The total special dividend payout is estimated to be $15 million.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $59.9 million at October 27, 2012, compared to $88.5 million at January 28, 2012 and $19.0 million at October 29, 2011. Merchandise inventory was $77 per square foot at October 27, 2012, the same level as October 29, 2011.

Cash used by operating activities was $24.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012. The primary use of cash was a $28.1 million seasonal reduction of accounts payable, partially offset by a $13.0 million reduction in inventory. The Company’s merchandise inventory and accounts payable are influenced by the seasonality of its business. A significant reduction of accounts payable occurs annually in the fiscal first half, reflecting payments for merchandise inventory sold during the prior year’s holiday season.

Cash used by investing activities, which consisted entirely of capital expenditures, was $2.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012.

Cash used by financing activities was $2.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 for payments on long term debt and capital lease obligations. The Company paid off the remaining obligation of $1.7 million related to a mortgage loan on real estate during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012.

In May 2012, the Company entered into a $75 million credit facility (“Second Amended Credit Facility”) which amended its previous $100 million credit facility (“Amended Credit Facility”). The principal amount of all outstanding loans under the Second Amended Credit Facility together with any accrued but unpaid interest, are due and payable in May 2017, unless otherwise paid earlier pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended Credit Facility. Payments of amounts due under the Second Amended Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Company.

The Second Amended Credit Facility includes customary provisions, including affirmative and negative covenants, which include representations, warranties and restrictions on additional indebtedness and acquisitions. The Second Amended Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, material adverse effect, bankruptcy, and certain changes of control. The Second Amended Credit Facility also contains other terms and conditions, including covenants around the number of store closings and allows for the payment of dividends with certain restrictions. It also changed the formula for interest rates. The Company is compliant with all covenants.

Interest under the Second Amended Credit Facility will accrue, at the election of the Company, at a Base Rate or LIBO Rate, plus, in each case, an Applicable Margin, which is determined by reference to the level of availability as defined in the Credit Agreement, with the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate loans ranging from 2.25% to 2.75% and the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate loans ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% is also payable on unused commitments.

The availability under the Second Amended Credit Facility is subject to limitations based on sufficient inventory levels. Based on inventory levels at the end of the quarter, the availability under the Second Amended Credit Facility was $64.4 million as of October 27, 2012. As of October 27, 2012, the Company didn’t have any borrowings outstanding under the Second Amended Credit Facility and had $645,000 in outstanding letter of credit obligations. The Company did not have any borrowings during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012.

As of October 29, 2011, the Company didn’t have any borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility and had $1.2 million in outstanding letter of credit obligations. The Company did not have any borrowings during Fiscal 2011.

Capital Expenditures. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, the Company made capital expenditures of $2.0 million. The Company plans to spend under $4.0 million for capital expenditures in fiscal 2012.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management apply accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect results of operations and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to merchandise inventory and return costs, valuation of long-lived assets, income taxes and accounting for gift card liability. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2012 includes a summary of the critical accounting policies and methods used by the Company in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes or modifications to the policies since January 28, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

There are no recently issued accounting standards that are expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

To the extent the Company borrows under its Second Amended Credit Facility, the Company is subject to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations since interest on the Company’s borrowings under its Second Amended Credit Facility can be variable. Interest under the Second Amended Credit Facility will accrue, at the election of the Company, at a Base Rate or LIBO Rate, plus, in each case, an Applicable Margin, which is determined by reference to the level of availability as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement, with the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate loans ranging from 2.25% to 2.75% and the Applicable Margin for Base Rate loans ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%. If interest rates on the Company’s Second Amended Credit Facility were to increase by 25 basis points, and to the extent borrowings were outstanding, for every $1,000,000 outstanding on the facility, income before income taxes would be reduced by $2,500 per year. For a discussion of the Company’s accounting policies for financial instruments and further disclosures relating to financial instruments, see “Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2012. The Company does not currently hold any derivative instruments.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of October 27, 2012, have concluded that as of such date the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
