For example, references to fiscal 2001 mean the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002. Fiscal 2000 was a 53-week year. (2) The extraordinary loss in fiscal 1997 represented the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized debt discount as a result of the repayment of long-term debt in conjunction with our initial public offering in September 1997. (3) We define comparable store sales as net sales from stores that have been open for more than 14 full months and that have not been substantially remodeled during that time. (4) For purposes of determining the comparable store sales increase, average net sales per store and average net sales per gross square foot, fiscal 2000 results were recalculated based on a 52-week year. (5) Average net sales per store represents net sales from stores open throughout the full period divided by the number of such stores. (6) Average square footage per store represents the square footage of stores open on the last day of the period divided by the number of such stores. (7) Average net sales per gross square foot represents net sales from stores open throughout the full period divided by the gross square footage of such stores. 11
