FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
THE COMPANY
Footstar, Inc., ("Footstar", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") is a holding
company that operates its businesses through its subsidiaries. We are
principally a retailer conducting business through our Meldisco Division
("Meldisco"). Meldisco sells family footwear through licensed footwear
departments and wholesale arrangements.
1. EMERGENCE FROM BANKRUPTCY
Commencing March 2, 2004 ("Petition Date"), Footstar and most of its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code
("Bankruptcy Code" or "Chapter 11") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York in White Plains ("Court"). The Chapter 11
cases were jointly administered under the caption "In re: Footstar, Inc., et.
al. Case No. 04-22350 (ASH)" (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). The Debtors operated
their business and managed their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to
Sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. As debtors-in-possession, we
were authorized to continue to operate as an ongoing business but could not
engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the
approval of the Court.
On July 2, 2005, the Company and Kmart Corporation ("Kmart") entered into an
agreement (the "Kmart Settlement") with respect to the assumption of the Master
Agreement with Kmart, effective July 1, 1995, as amended (the "Master
Agreement"), which was effective as of January 2, 2005, and allowed us to
continue operating the footwear departments in Kmart stores pursuant to an
Amended and Restated Master Agreement (the "Amended Master Agreement"). See Note
5 "Meldisco's Relationship with Kmart".
On November 12, 2004, we filed a proposed joint plan of reorganization with the
Court which was amended on October 28, 2005, and amended again on December 5,
2005, (the "Amended Plan"). On January 25, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed
our Amended Plan. On February 7, 2006, we successfully emerged from bankruptcy
and paid substantially all our creditors in full with interest. Pursuant to the
guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in
Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization
Under the Bankruptcy Code ("SOP 90-7"), the Company has not adopted fresh-start
reporting because there was no change to the holders of existing voting shares
and the reorganization value of the Company's assets is greater than its post
petition liabilities and allowed claims.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared in
accordance with the provisions of SOP 90-7. Pursuant to SOP 90-7, our
pre-petition liabilities that were subject to compromise are reported separately
in the accompanying balance sheet as an estimate of the amount that will
ultimately be allowed by the Court. SOP 90-7 also requires separate reporting of
certain expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses related to
the bankruptcy filing as reorganization items.

FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the
opinion of management, contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring
nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Detailed footnote information is not included in this report. The financial
information set forth herein should be read in conjunction with the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our fiscal 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2005 filed with the SEC.
The results of operations for the three months ended April 1, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year
ended December 30, 2006.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of April 1, 2006, there have been no material changes to any of the
significant accounting policies, except for the accounting for stock
compensation, described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005. Effective January 1, 2006, the company adopted FASB
Statement No. 123 (R), "Share Based Payment," revising FAS 123 and requiring
that all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the financial
statements. See Note 9 "Stock-Based Compensation Plans."
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The disposition of our Athletic Segment and certain operations within our
Meldisco Segment in fiscal year 2004, have been accounted for as discontinued
operations in accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets". Accordingly, we have reported our
results of the discontinued operations as a separate component of operations. In
addition, we applied the provisions of SFAS No. 144 to the stores closed by
Kmart during the first quarter of 2006 and 2005 and determined that these stores
either did not meet the criteria to be accounted for as discontinued operations
or were not considered material to our consolidated results of operations.
Net sales and operating loss from discontinued operations for the three months
ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005 were as follows (in millions):

5. MELDISCO'S RELATIONSHIP WITH KMART
The business relationship between Meldisco and Kmart is extremely important to
us. The Kmart licensed footwear departments account for substantially all of our
sales and operating profit from continuing operations. The loss of Meldisco's
Kmart operation, a significant reduction in customer
7
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
traffic in Kmart stores or the closing or conversation of a significant number
of additional Kmart stores would have a material adverse effect on us.
We operated the footwear departments in 1,402 Kmart stores (the "Shoemart
Corporations") as of April 1, 2006.
On July 2, 2005, the Company and Kmart entered into the Kmart Settlement and
thereafter the Amended Master Agreement which dictates the structure of our
relationship with Kmart. Under the Master Agreement before amendment, the
Company and Kmart had formed in excess of 1,500 Shoemart Corporations in which
we had a 51% ownership interest and Kmart had a 49% ownership interest, other
than 23 of the Shoemart Corporations which were wholly-owned by us.
The Kmart Settlement provides that Kmart's equity interests in the Shoemart
Corporations were extinguished effective January 2, 2005, and accordingly, Kmart
does not share in the profits or losses of those entities for fiscal 2005 or
subsequent years. The Kmart Settlement fixed the cure amount with respect to our
assumption of the Amended Master Agreement at $45.0 million, which was paid on
August 26, 2005. The Amended Master Agreement provides that effective January 2,
2005, we pay Kmart 14.625% of the gross sales of the footwear departments, in
lieu of almost all of the fees and dividends required under the Master
Agreement. The Amended Master Agreement further provides that effective August
25, 2005, we pay Kmart a miscellaneous expense fee of $23,500 each year per open
store. The Amended Master Agreement expires at the end of 2008 at which time
Kmart is obligated to purchase our Shoemart inventory (but not our brands) at
book value, as defined.
We and Kmart each have the right to terminate the Amended Master Agreement early
if the gross sales of the footwear departments in any four consecutive fiscal
quarters are less than $550.0 million, provided that this gross sales minimum
will be reduced by $0.4 million for each store that is closed or converted after
August 25, 2005. Thirty-seven stores have been closed or converted from August
25, 2005 through April 1, 2006. The Company also has the unilateral right to
terminate the Amended Master Agreement if either (i) the number of Kmart stores
is less than 900 or (ii) the gross sales of the footwear departments in any four
consecutive fiscal quarters are less than $450.0 million. In the event of any
such termination, Kmart is obligated to purchase all of the inventory (including
inventory that is on order but excluding inventory that is damaged, unsaleable,
and seasonal inventory, as defined) for an amount equal to the book value of the
inventory, as defined.
Pursuant to the Amended Master Agreement, Kmart must pay us the stipulated loss
value (as set forth below), if it terminates our licenses to operate a certain
number of shoe departments in Kmart stores by disposing of, closing or
converting those stores. The number of stores it can dispose of, close or
convert per year before having to pay us the stipulated loss value, is capped at
85 in 2005, 150 in 2006 and 160 in each of 2007 and 2008, with any unused cap
carried over to the following year. In 2005, 61 stores were disposed of, closed
or converted. In 2006, through April 1, 2006, 19 stores were disposed of, closed
or converted. For each store that is disposed of, closed or converted, Kmart
must purchase all of our in-store inventory (excluding inventory that is
damaged, unsaleable and seasonal inventory, as defined) at book value, as
defined. In addition, to the extent Kmart
8
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
exceeds the annual cap or the 550 aggregate limit, Kmart must pay us a
non-refundable stipulated loss value per store equal to $60,000 for terminations
occurring in 2006, $40,000 for terminations occurring in 2007 and $20,000 for
terminations occurring in 2008. If the entire Amended Master Agreement is
terminated in accordance with its terms, Kmart is not obligated to make any
stipulated loss value payments for such stores.
The Amended Master Agreement sets forth the parties' obligations with respect to
staffing and advertising. Specifically, we must spend at least 10% of gross
sales in the footwear departments on staffing costs, as defined, and we must
schedule the staffing in each store at a minimum of 40 hours per week. In
addition, Kmart is required to allocate at least 52 weekend newspaper
advertising insert pages per year to our products.
Kmart has a capital claim against us in the amount of $11,000 for each store
that is an existing store, as defined, on August 25, 2005, which is generally
payable by us to Kmart at the time a store is disposed of, closed or converted
to another retail format. However, upon the expiration of the Amended Master
Agreement or upon early termination of that agreement other than as a result of
our breach, all capital claims not yet due and payable will be waived for any
remaining stores. If the Amended Master Agreement is terminated as a result of
our breach, capital claims for remaining stores will not be waived and will
become immediately due and payable.
As set forth in the Amended Master Agreement, Kmart collects proceeds from the
sale of our inventory and remits those sales proceeds to us on a weekly basis
less any applicable fees outlined in the Kmart Settlement. Such fees were $27.0
million and $29.1 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 and April 2,
2005, respectively. As of April 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had
outstanding accounts receivable due from Kmart of $9.8 million and $5.2 million,
respectively, which were subsequently collected in April 2006 and January 2006,
respectively.

7. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE
Liabilities subject to compromise represent our current estimate of the amount
of the pre-petition claims that are subject to restructuring in the Chapter 11
Cases. Pursuant to Court orders, we were authorized to pay certain pre-petition
operating liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business
9
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
and reject certain of our pre-petition obligations. We notified all known
pre-petition creditors of the establishment of a bar date by which pre-petition
creditors must file a proof of claim, which bar date has now passed for all such
creditors. Differences between liability amounts recorded by us and claims filed
by pre-petition creditors have been substantially reconciled and paid upon our
emergence on February 7, 2006 (see Note 1 - Emergence from Bankruptcy). The
Court will make a final determination of allowable claims on remaining disputed
amounts.
Liabilities subject to compromise consisted of the following (in millions):

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
123(R) (FAS 123R), Share-Based Payment, revising FAS 123 and requiring that all
share-based payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements. We
adopted the new statement effective January 1, 2006, using the
modified-prospective transition method described in the statement, which
requires measurement of compensation cost of all stock-based awards at fair
value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service
periods for awards expected to vest. Under this method, we are required to
recognize compensation expense for all awards granted after the adoption and for
the unvested portion of previously granted options that remain outstanding as of
the adoption date. We recorded compensation expense in the period ended April 1,
2006 of $0.4 million. Prior amounts have not been restated.
Prior to adopting FAS 123R, we applied the intrinsic value-based method of
accounting prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and, accordingly, did not recognize
compensation expense for stock option
10

grants made at an exercise price equal to or in excess of the fair market value
of the stock at the date of grant.
The following table details the effect on the Company's net income and basic and

2006 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK PLAN
On our emergence from bankruptcy on February 7, 2006, the 2006 Director Stock
Plan became effective and the 1996 Director Stock Plan was frozen. The 2006
Director Stock Plan allows for the grant of up to 458,044 shares of common stock
of the Company (the "Common Stock").
The 2006 Director Stock Plan provides for an automatic initial grant of 10,000
shares of restricted Common Stock to each eligible director. Beginning with the
2007 annual meeting of the Company, the Company shall make additional grants to
each eligible director of 10,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, or such
other amount determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"),
subject to the provisions of the 2006 Director Stock Plan.
Unless the Board shall determine otherwise at the time of grant, each award of
restricted Common Stock shall vest with respect to 50% of the shares on the
first anniversary of the date of grant, an additional 25% of the shares on the
second anniversary of the date of grant, and with respect to the remaining 25%
of the shares on the third anniversary of the date of grant. In the event of a
participant's retirement, all unvested shares of restricted Common Stock shall
become vested as of the effective date of such retirement. In the event of a
change in control (as specified in the 2006 Director Stock Plan), all unvested
shares of restricted Common Stock shall become vested as of the effective date
of such change in control.
A participant's termination of service as a director of the Company for any
reason other than retirement shall result in the immediate forfeiture of all
shares of restricted Common Stock that have not yet vested as of the date of
such termination of service. To effect such forfeiture, the participant shall
transfer such shares of Common Stock to the Company promptly following such
termination of service in accordance with procedures established by the Board
from time to time
12
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
and the Company shall reimburse such participant for the shares of Common Stock
in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares of
Common Stock transferred on the date service terminated, and (ii) the cash
price, if any, paid by the participant for such shares of Common Stock. In
addition, the participant shall forfeit all dividends paid on the shares of
restricted Common Stock, which forfeiture shall be effected by termination of
any escrow arrangement under which such dividends are held, or, if paid directly
to the participant by the participant's repayment of dividends received
directly, or by such other method established by the Board from time to time.
The following table provides information relating to the status of, and changes

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders
by the weighted average shares outstanding, after giving effect to the potential
dilution that could occur if outstanding options or other contracts or
obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted.
The following table reflects average shares outstanding used to compute basic
and diluted loss per share (in millions):
APRIL 1, 2006 April 2, 2005
------------- -------------
Average shares outstanding 20.7 20.3
Contingently issuable shares (1) 0.1 0.2
---- ----
Average shares outstanding - basic 20.8 20.5
==== ====
Average shares outstanding - diluted (2) 20.8 20.5
==== ====
(1) Represents shares earned under our stock incentive plans

FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(2) The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or
issuance of shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS. During
the three months ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, we had a net loss;
as a result, any assumed conversions would result in reducing the loss per
share and, therefore, are not included in the calculation. There were no
assumed shares having an anti-dilutive effect on EPS in either period.
11. INCOME TAXES
Upon our emergence from bankruptcy on February 7, 2006, the Company realized
approximately $51 million of tax deductible expenses thereby creating a loss for
tax purposes in excess of the book loss which will increase our net operating
loss carryforwards. In addition, we have recorded a non-cash valuation allowance
on the net deferred tax asset. The 2006 income tax provision relates to the
estimated income tax obligation of our stores located in Puerto Rico, Guam and
the Virgin Islands.
Although the Kmart Settlement was effective as of January 2, 2005, the effective
date for tax purposes was August 25, 2005, the date the Kmart Settlement was
approved by the Court. As a result, two tax periods were required for fiscal
2005. Due to the minority interests in each Shoemart store for the period
January 2, 2005 through August 25, 2005, we could not file a consolidated
federal tax return. As losses from stores could not therefore be offset against
profits from other stores, this resulted in an unusually high estimated
effective tax rate of approximately 85% for 2005. As the minority interests are
eliminated as of August 25, 2005, subsequent federal tax returns will be filed
on a consolidated basis.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Kmart Relationship
In connection with the Kmart Settlement, all outstanding litigation between
Kmart and us has been settled. See Note 5 "Meldisco's Relationship with Kmart."
The Amended Master Agreement expires at the end of 2008.
If we fail to develop viable business alternatives to offset the termination of
our Amended Master Agreement, we will almost certainly be forced to liquidate
our business at the end of December, 2008. In addition, should we fail to meet
the minimum sales tests, staffing requirements or other provisions provided in
the Amended Master Agreement, termination of our business could occur prior to
December 31, 2008.
Restatement Related Litigation
Prior to our November 13, 2002 announcement that management had discovered
discrepancies in the reporting of our accounts payable balances, we notified the
Staff of the SEC concerning the discovery of the accounting discrepancies.
Following that notification, the Staff of the SEC began an enforcement
proceeding captioned, In the Matter of Footstar, Inc., MNY-7122, including an
investigation into the facts and circumstances giving rise to the discrepancies.
On November 25, 2003 the SEC issued a formal order in that enforcement
proceeding, authorizing an investigation and empowering certain members of the
SEC Staff to take certain actions in the course of the
14
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
investigation, including requiring testimony and the production of documents. We
cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.
The enforcement investigation includes determining whether the Company and
certain of its present or former directors, officers and employees may have
engaged in violations of the federal securities laws in connection with: the
purchase or sale of the securities of the Company; required filings with the
SEC; maintenance of our books, records and accounts; implementation and
maintenance of internal accounting controls; making of false or misleading
statements or omissions in connection with required audits or examinations of
our consolidated financial statements or the preparation and filing of documents
or reports we are required to file with the SEC.
As we announced on February 10, 2006, the Company received a Wells notice from
the SEC Staff in connection with the enforcement investigation. Under SEC
procedures, a Wells notice indicates that the Staff has made a preliminary
decision to recommend that the SEC authorize the Staff to bring a civil or
administrative action against the recipient of the notice. The Wells notice that
Footstar received states that the SEC Staff, as a result of its investigation,
is considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against
the Company for alleged violations of provisions of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 relating to the maintenance of books, records and internal accounting
controls, the establishment of disclosure controls and procedures and the
periodic filing requirements of Sections 10(b), 13(a) and 13(b)(2) of the
Exchange Act and in SEC Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13. A recipient of a
Wells notice can respond to the SEC Staff before the Staff makes a formal
recommendation regarding whether the SEC should bring any action. Footstar has
been, and intends to continue, cooperating fully with the SEC Staff in
connection with this matter and is in discussions with the Staff regarding the
possible resolution of this matter.
Other Litigation Matters
On or about March 3, 2005, a first amended complaint was filed against us in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, captioned Adidas America, Inc.
and Adidas -Salomon AG v. Kmart Corporation and Footstar, Inc. The first amended
complaint seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for trademark
infringement, trademark dilution, unfair competition deceptive trade practices
and breach of contract arising out of our use of four stripes as a design
element on footwear which Adidas alleges infringes on its registered three
stripe trademark. While it is too early in litigation to predict the outcome of
the claims against us, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the
claims asserted by Adidas and have filed an answer denying the allegations.
NAFTA Traders, Inc. ("NAFTA"), a salvage company which previously did business
with our former Footaction division, filed a proof of claim in our bankruptcy
proceeding alleging that NAFTA is owed the amount of $3.8 million. On May 1,
2006, NAFTA advised us that they are in the process of amending this claim to
provide that the Company owes them at least $9.1 million plus legal fees and
expenses. We have objected to this proof of claim, and will object to any
amendment, on the basis that we do not owe any amounts to NAFTA and we are
currently involved in an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy court regarding
resolution of this proof of claim. While it is too early to predict the outcome
of this adversary proceeding, we intend to continue to
15
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
object and vigorously defend the proof of claims submitted by NAFTA.
Mr. Robinson's employment as our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
was terminated on September 12, 2003. Mr. Robinson had an employment agreement
with us and initiated arbitration proceedings against us for benefits under such
agreement. In July 2004, the parties agreed to settle such matter for $5.1
million. This amount was accrued in fiscal 2003, and was offset by the reversal
of his $7.2 million Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan liability. In January
2006, the final installment which was due to Mr. Robinson under the settlement
was paid.
A former employee of the company filed a proof of claim in our bankruptcy
proceeding alleging he is owed $2,000,000 based on services rendered and
agreements entered into during his employment. We have objected to and intend to
vigorously defend this proof of claim.
We are involved in other various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any of them will have a
material adverse effect on our financial position.
FMI Agreement
During our bankruptcy, we sold certain assets, including, among other things,
our distribution center in Mira Loma, California ("Mira Loma"). We sold Mira
Loma to Thrifty Oil Co. ("Thrifty") for approximately $28.0 million. Thrifty has
leased Mira Loma to FMI International LLC ("FMI"), a logistics provider, which
is obligated to provide us with warehousing and distribution services through
June 30, 2012 under a receiving, warehousing and distribution services agreement
(the "FMI Agreement"). Pursuant to the FMI Agreement, FMI is the Company's
exclusive provider of receiving, warehousing and physical distribution services
for (a) imported product where the Company or its subsidiaries are the importer
of record or (b) landed or domestic shipments controlled within the Company's
supply chain. In 2006, we are obligated to pay FMI a minimum of $15.1 million.
Commencing with calendar year 2007, there are no specified minimum payments due
under the FMI Agreement. The Company's obligation with respect to each calendar
year commencing with 2007 through the end of the term of the FMI Agreement is to
provide FMI with an estimated total unit volume, if any, prior to the start of
such year. Such estimated unit volume, if any, will be the basis for any minimum
quantity commitment for such year.

FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Risk Factors included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, have not materially changed, but given the
termination of the Company's principal business relationship with Kmart no later
than December 31, 2008 and the difficulty of the Company's ability to manage and
plan for the disposal of, conversion, or closing of additional Kmart stores, we
are repeating these factors below.
MELDISCO IS OUR ONLY CONTINUING BUSINESS AND SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR CONTINUING
NET SALES AND PROFITS RESULT FROM MELDISCO'S BUSINESS IN KMART STORES. THE KMART
SETTLEMENT WILL RESULT IN THE LIQUIDATION OF OUR KMART BUSINESS NO LATER THAN
THE END OF DECEMBER 2008 OR EARLIER IF WE FAIL TO MEET THE MINIMUM SALES TESTS,
STAFFING OBLIGATIONS OR OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE AMENDED MASTER AGREEMENT. IF WE
FAIL TO DEVELOP VIABLE BUSINESS ALTERNATIVES TO OFFSET THIS BUSINESS WE WILL
ALMOST CERTAINLY BE FORCED TO LIQUIDATE OUR BUSINESS WHEN THE KMART RELATIONSHIP
ENDS.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN TALENTED PERSONNEL.
Our success is dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified and
talented individuals. We have instituted several retention programs designed to
retain key executives and employees and will seek to implement additional
programs to retain key executives and employees as necessary. However, if we are
unable to attract or retain key executives and employees, including senior
management, and qualified accounting and finance, marketing, and merchandising
personnel, or put in place additional retention programs, it could adversely
affect our businesses. This risk is acute given the anticipated liquidation of
our Kmart business no later than the end of 2008 as a result of the Kmart
Settlement.
WE RELY ON KEY VENDORS AND THIRD PARTIES TO MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTE OUR
PRODUCTS.
Product sourcing in the family footwear business is driven by relationships with
foreign manufacturers. If the terms under which these vendors deal with us,
including payment terms, change adversely, there could be a material adverse
impact on our operations and financial condition. Also, if these foreign
manufacturers are unable to secure sufficient supplies of raw materials or
maintain adequate manufacturing capacity, they may be unable to provide us with
timely delivery of products of acceptable quality. In addition, if the prices
charged by these manufacturers increase, our cost of acquiring merchandise would
increase. A portion of our footwear product is comprised of petrochemical
products which have risen in price dramatically over the past year. It is very
possible that these raw material price increases will be passed on to us.
Furthermore, higher product prices could result from the recent decision by the
Chinese government to revalue their currency. Although we pay for finished goods
in U.S. dollars, it is possible that higher labor costs due primarily to the
currency revaluation could be passed on to us through higher product costs. If
we cannot recover these cost increases with increased pricing to our customers,
it could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial
condition.
The Company is managing against possible product cost increases by shifting
manufacturing production to lower cost regions of China. While the Company is
exercising considerable diligence in selecting new factories, it is possible
that the Company could experience lower product quality and/or late shipments
from these new factories which could unfavorably impact the Company's financial
results.
17
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
We also depend on third parties to receive, transport and deliver our products.
If these third parties are unable to perform for any reason, or if they increase
the price of their services as a result of increases in the cost of fuel, there
could be a material adverse effect on our operations and financial performance.
WE ARE THE SUBJECT OF AN SEC ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION AND CANNOT YET DETERMINE
WHETHER ANY FINES WILL BE IMPOSED ON US BY THE SEC AND IF SO, WHAT THE IMPACT OF
ANY FINE OR SANCTION WILL BE ON OUR BUSINESS.
Prior to our November 13, 2002 announcement that management had discovered
discrepancies in the reporting of our accounts payable balances, we notified the
staff of the SEC concerning the discovery of the accounting discrepancies.
Following that notification, the SEC began an enforcement proceeding, including
an investigation into the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
restatement. As we announced on February 10, 2006, the Company received a Wells
notice from the SEC Staff in connection with the enforcement investigation.
Under SEC procedures, a Wells notice indicates that the Staff has made a
preliminary decision to recommend that the SEC authorize the Staff to bring a
civil or administrative action against the recipient of the notice. The Wells
notice that Footstar received states that the SEC Staff, as a result of its
investigation, is considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil injunctive
action against the Company for alleged violations of provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to the maintenance of books, records
and internal accounting controls, the establishment of disclosure controls and
procedures and the periodic filing requirements of Sections 10(b), 13(a) and
13(b)(2) of the Exchange Act and in SEC Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13. A
recipient of a Wells notice can respond to the SEC Staff before the Staff makes
a formal recommendation regarding whether the SEC should bring any action.
Footstar has been, and intends to continue, cooperating fully with the SEC Staff
in connection with this matter and is in discussions with the Staff regarding
the possible resolution of this matter. We cannot predict the outcome of this
proceeding.
For a further description of our restatement related litigation, see
"Restatement Related Proceedings" under Item 3 - Legal Proceedings.
WE HAVE HAD MATERIAL WEAKNESSES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND
CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT MATERIAL WEAKNESSES WILL NOT BE IDENTIFIED IN THE FUTURE.
OUR FAILURE TO EFFECTIVELY MAINTAIN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
CAN RESULT IN MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS IN OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHICH COULD
REQUIRE US TO RESTATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CAUSE INVESTORS TO LOSE CONFIDENCE
IN OUR REPORTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR STOCK
PRICE.
We and our independent registered public accounting firm determined that we had
deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting during fiscal 2004
that constitute "material weaknesses" as defined by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board's Audit Standard No. 2.
Although these material weaknesses have been remediated, we cannot assure you
that additional other weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting will not be identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or
implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in
their implementation, could result in other material weaknesses, cause us to
fail to
18
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in
our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the
results of periodic management evaluations and annual auditor attestation
reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting required under Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley and the rules promulgated
under Section 404. The existence of a material weakness could also cause
investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a
decline in our stock price.
DECLINES IN OUR SALES WILL HAVE A MAGNIFIED IMPACT ON PROFITABILITY BECAUSE OF
OUR FIXED COSTS.
A significant portion of our operating expenses are fixed costs that are not
dependent on our sales performance, as opposed to variable costs, which vary
proportionately with sales performance. These fixed costs include, among other
things, the costs associated with operating as a public company and a
substantial portion of our labor expenses. As our sales continue to decline with
the disposition, closing or conversion of Kmart stores, we will be unable to
reduce our operating expenses proportionately. In accordance with the Kmart
Settlement, if Kmart store sales fall below a certain threshold, as defined, the
Amended Master Agreement may be terminated early.
WE OPERATE IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE FOOTWEAR RETAILING INDUSTRY.
The family footwear industry, where our business is now concentrated, is highly
competitive. Competition is concentrated among a limited number of retailers and
discount department stores, including Payless ShoeSource, Kmart, Wal-Mart,
Kohl's, Sears and Target, with a number of traditional mid-tier retailers such
as Shoe Carnival, Famous Footwear and Rack Room also selling lower-priced
footwear. The events that caused us to seek bankruptcy protection in 2004 and
the terms of the Kmart Settlement put us at a disadvantage with respect to our
competitors, many of which are growing rapidly and have substantial financial
and marketing resources which are unavailable to us. If we are unable to
overcome this disadvantage and respond effectively to our competitors, we may be
forced to liquidate our operations.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR IMPORTATION OF PRODUCTS.
Approximately 99% of Meldisco's products are manufactured in China.
Substantially all of this imported merchandise is subject to customs duties and
tariffs imposed by the United States. Penalties may be imposed for violations of
labor and wage standards by foreign contractors.
In addition, China and other countries in which our merchandise is manufactured
may, from time to time, impose additional new quotas, tariffs, duties, taxes or
other restrictions on its merchandise or adversely change existing quotas,
tariffs, duties, taxes or other restrictions. Any such changes could adversely
affect our ability to import our products and, therefore, our results of
operations.
Any deterioration in the trade relationship between the United States and China,
issues regarding China's compliance with its agreements related to its entry
into the World Trade Organization, or any other disruption in our ability to
import products from China could adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
Other risks inherent in sourcing products from foreign countries include
economic and political instability, social unrest and the threat of terrorism,
each of which risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations. In addition, we incur costs as a result of
19
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
security programs designed to prevent acts of terrorism such as those imposed by
government regulations and our participation in the Customs-Trade Partnership
Against Terrorism implemented by the United States Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection. Significant increases in such costs could adversely affect our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our ability to successfully import merchandise into the United States from
foreign sources is also dependent on stable labor conditions in the major ports
of the United States. Any instability or deterioration of the domestic labor
environment in these ports could result in increased costs, delays or disruption
in merchandise deliveries that could cause loss of revenue, damage to customer
relationships and have a material adverse effect on our business operations and
financial condition.
THE FOOTWEAR RETAILING INDUSTRY IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY GENERAL ECONOMIC
CYCLES.
Footwear retailing is a cyclical industry that is heavily dependent upon the
overall level of consumer spending. Purchases of footwear, apparel and related
goods tend to be highly correlated with the cycles of the levels of disposable
income of our customers. As a result, any substantial deterioration in general
economic conditions, including sustained increases in gasoline prices, could
have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ADJUST TO CONSTANTLY CHANGING FASHION TRENDS.
Our success depends, in large part, upon our ability to gauge the evolving
fashion tastes of our customers and to provide merchandise that satisfies those
fashion tastes in a timely manner. The retailing industry fluctuates according
to changing fashion tastes and seasons, and merchandise usually must be ordered
well in advance of the season, frequently before consumer fashion tastes are
evidenced by consumer purchases. In addition, in order to ensure sufficient
quantities of footwear in the desired size, style and color for each season, we
are required to maintain substantial levels of inventory, especially prior to
peak selling seasons when we build up our inventory levels.
As a result, if we fail to properly gauge the fashion tastes of consumers or to
respond to changes in fashion tastes in a timely manner, this failure could
adversely affect retail and consumer acceptance of our merchandise and leave us
with substantial unsold inventory. If that occurs, we may be forced to rely on
markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of excess, slow-moving inventory,
which may harm our business and financial results.
WE MUST PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH SEASONALLY APPROPRIATE MERCHANDISE, MAKING OUR
SALES HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON SEASONAL WEATHER CONDITIONS.
If the weather conditions for a particular period vary significantly from those
typical for that period, such as an unusually cold spring or an unusually warm
winter, consumer demand for seasonally appropriate merchandise that we have
available in our footwear departments will be lower, and our net sales and
margins will be adversely affected. Lower sales may leave us with excess
inventory of our basic products and seasonally appropriate products, forcing us
to sell both types of our products at significantly discounted prices and,
thereby, adversely affecting our net sales and margins.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements made in reliance upon the safe
harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements
may be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "estimates,"
"should," "expect," "guidance," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe" and other
words and terms of similar meaning, in connection with any discussion of our
financial statements, business, results of operations, liquidity and future
operating or financial performance. Factors that could affect our
forward-looking statements include, among other things:
- The Company's ability to operate within the provisions of the Amended
Master Agreement with Kmart through December 2008;
- the Company's ability to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors
and service providers;
- the Company's ability to successfully implement and maintain internal
controls and procedures that ensure timely, effective and accurate
financial reporting;
- the Company's ability to reduce overhead costs commensurate with any
decline in sales;
- adverse results on the Company's business relating to increased review
and scrutiny by regulatory authorities, media and others of financial
reporting issues and practices or otherwise;
- the Company's compliance with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley;
- the ability to maintain contracts that are critical to the Company's
operations;
- any adverse developments in existing commercial disputes or legal
proceedings;
- the Company's ability to manage and plan for the disposal of, closing
or conversion of Kmart stores; and
- intense competition in the markets in which the Company competes.
It is not possible to predict the outcome of the ongoing SEC investigation, the
Company's discussions with the SEC in response to the Wells notice it has
received or the effect of the proceeding on the Company's businesses and the
interests of various creditors and security holders. Also, the Company's
Meldisco business is the Company's only continuing business and substantially
all of the Company's continuing net sales and profits result from Meldisco's
business in Kmart stores. The Kmart Settlement will result in the liquidation of
the Company's Kmart business no later than the end of December 2008. If the
Company fails to develop viable business alternatives to offset this business
the Company will almost certainly be forced to liquidate our business when the
Kmart relationship ends.
Because the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is based solely on
data currently available, it is subject to change and should not be viewed as
providing any assurance regarding our future performance. Actual results and
performance may differ from our current projections, estimates and expectations
and the differences may be material, individually or in the aggregate, to our
business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or prospects.
Additionally, we assume no obligation to update any of our forward looking
statements based on changes in assumptions, changes in results or other events
subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on
21
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Form 10-Q.
OVERVIEW
As of April 1, 2006, Footstar operated licensed footwear departments in 1,402
Kmart stores, compared with 1,479 stores on April 2, 2005. See Note 5
"Meldisco's Relationship with Kmart" for further discussion of the agreement.
Footstar also operated licensed footwear departments in 854 Rite Aid stores in
the western region of the United States, compared with 861 stores on April 2,
2005.
KMART SETTLEMENT
Our business relationship between Meldisco and Kmart is extremely important to
us. The licensed footwear departments in Kmart now provide substantially all of
our sales and profits. See Note 5 "Meldisco's Relationship with Kmart" in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH WAL-MART STORES
Until December 31, 2005, we were supplying Thom McAn family footwear to 1,500
Wal-Mart stores in the United States and 13 stores in Puerto Rico. Beginning in
January 2006, Wal-Mart stopped purchasing Thom McAn product for any of its
stores in the United States. However, Wal-Mart has continued to buy Thom McAn
footwear for Wal-Mart stores in Puerto Rico and has continued to source footwear
from us for Wal-Mart stores under Wal-Mart's proprietary brands. For the three
months ending April 2, 2005, we had sales of approximately $10.2 million to
Wal-Mart stores in the United States and Puerto Rico. For the three months
ending April 1, 2006, we had sales of approximately $1.6 million to Wal-Mart
stores in the United States and Puerto Rico.
PRODUCT SOURCING
Product sourcing in the family footwear business is driven by relationships with
foreign manufacturers. Approximately 99% of our products are manufactured in
China. A portion of our footwear product is comprised of petrochemical products
which have risen in price dramatically over the past year. It is possible that
these raw material price increases will be passed on to us. Furthermore, higher
product prices could result from the recent decision by the Chinese government
to revalue their currency. Although we pay for finished goods in U.S. dollars,
it is possible that higher labor costs could be passed on to us through higher
product costs. As a result of these issues, the Company has begun to shift
manufacturing production to lower cost regions of China. It is possible that the
Company could experience lower product quality and/or late shipments in these
new factories which could unfavorably impact the Company's financial results.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three months
ended April 1, 2006 compared with the three months ended April 2, 2005.
22
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
2006 VERSUS 2005 % SALES % Sales
(dollars in millions) 2006 2005 - 2006 - 2005
--------------------- ------ ------ ------- -------
Net Sales $133.9 $154.8
------ ------
Gross Profit 39.1 44.3 29.2% 28.6%
SG&A Expenses 39.4 47.6 29.4% 30.7%
Depreciation/Amortization 2.3 1.8 1.7% 1.2%
------ ------
Operating Loss $ (2.6) $ (5.1) (1.9%) (3.3%)
------ ------
NET SALES
Net sales decreased $20.9 million, or 13.5%, to $133.9 million in 2006 compared
with $154.8 million in 2005. Shoemart sales were approximately $128.4 million in
2006 and $140.9 million in 2005. The Shoemart sales decrease was due to a 4.9%
comparable store sales decline in 2006 as a result of weaker winter product
sales and the shift of Easter out of first quarter. Furthermore, the sales
decrease at Shoemart was also a result of operating in 1,402 stores at the end
of first quarter 2006 versus 1,479 stores in 2005. The balance of the sales
decrease during first quarter 2006 was the result of no longer selling Thom McAn
product within Wal-Mart domestic stores effective at the beginning of 2006.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit decreased $5.2 million to $39.1 million in 2006 compared with $44.3
million in 2005 due to the lower sales in 2006. The gross margin rate increased
in 2006 as a result of improved margins on clearance sales in 2006 compared with
2005.
SG&A EXPENSES
SG&A expenses decreased $8.2 million, or 17.2%, to $39.4 million in 2006
compared with $47.6 million in 2005. The overall SG&A rate as a percentage of
sales decreased to 29.4% in 2006 compared with 30.7% in 2005. The company
incurred less corporate overhead related to the bankruptcy and has continued to
reduce expenses in conjunction with sales declines.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.5 million to $2.3 million in 2006
compared with $1.8 million in 2005 due to higher trademark amortization expense
recorded in 2006.
OPERATING LOSS
Operating loss decreased by $2.5 million to $(2.6) million in 2006 compared with
$(5.1) million in 2005 primarily due to the reasons noted above.
REORGANIZATION ITEMS
Reorganization items, which consist of income and expenses that are related to
our bankruptcy were comprised of the following for 2006 and 2005 (in millions):
23
FOOTSTAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
2006 2005
----- -----
Professional fees $ 1.3 $ 3.9
Trustee fees -- 1.0
Gain on disposition of bankruptcy claims (0.7) --
Interest income (0.7) (1.2)
----- -----
Total $(0.1) $ 3.7
===== =====
Reorganization items decreased by $3.6 million to $(0.1) million in 2006
compared with $3.7 million in 2005 primarily because we emerged from bankruptcy
on February 7, 2006.
The disposition of bankruptcy claims resulted in an increase of $0.7 million in
income from continuing operations.
SOP 90-7 requires that interest income earned on cash accumulated during
bankruptcy proceedings be included as a reorganization item. During fiscal 2006
and 2005, interest income of $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, was
earned on cash that would otherwise have been used to pay such pre-petition
liabilities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity used in funding short-term operations are our
operating cash flows and our Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined). The
Credit Facility is structured to support general corporate borrowing
requirements. We also continue to benefit from improved payment terms obtained
from our vendors and factories overseas beginning in December, 2004.
Subsequent to our emergence from Chapter 11 through April 29, 2006, we made
payments to creditors totaling $121.2 million, plus interest where applicable.
These payments exclude claims for approximately $9.6 million which will be paid,
with interest where applicable, upon final resolution. Creditors were and are
expected to be paid in full, plus interest where applicable. Such distributions
were and are expected to be paid from existing cash balances and will not
require us to incur borrowings under our Credit Facility.
Factors that could affect our short and long term liquidity include, among other
things, maintaining the support of our key vendors and lenders, retaining key
personnel, the impact of subsequent financial results, many of which are beyond
our control. Also, the timing of the wind-down and ultimate liquidation of our
Kmart business are outside our control (within certain parameters described
under the "Kmart Settlement" above). If the Company does not develop viable
business alternatives to offset the termination of its Kmart business by no
later than the end of 2008, it is expected that the Company will liquidate its
business when the Kmart relationship ends. Although we cannot reasonably assess
the impact of these or other uncertainties, we believe that our current cash,
together with cash generated from operations and cash available under our Credit
Facility, will be sufficient to fund our expected operating expenses, capital
expenditures and working capital needs during the next 12 months.

THE CREDIT FACILITY
On February 7, 2006, upon our emergence from Chapter 11 we entered into a new
$100 million senior-secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
(containing a sub-limit for letters of credit). We may borrow up to $100.0
million through the Credit Facility subject to a sufficient borrowing base
(based upon eligible inventory and accounts receivable), and other terms of the
facility. Revolving loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our
option, either at the prime rate plus a variable margin of 0.0% to 0.5% or the
London-Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a variable margin of 1.75% to
2.50%. The variable margin is based upon quarterly excess availability levels
specified in the Credit Facility. A quarterly fee of 0.3% per annum is payable
to the lenders on the unutilized balance. The Credit Facility has a maturity
date of the earlier of (a) November 30, 2008 and (b) thirty days prior to the
termination of the Amended Master Agreement.
The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company
and contains various affirmative and negative covenants, representations,
warranties and events of default to which we are subject, including certain
financial covenants and restrictions such as limitations on additional
indebtedness, other liens, dividends, stock repurchases and capital
expenditures. The Company is required to maintain minimum excess availability
equal to at least (a) 5% of the borrowing base for the first twelve months
following the Company's emergence from bankruptcy (i.e., February 7, 207) and
(b) 10% thereafter. In addition, if minimum excess availability falls below 20%
of the borrowing base, we will be subject to a fixed charge coverage covenant.
The Company is currently in compliance with the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility also includes representations and warranties, that, on an
ongoing basis, there are no material adverse events affecting our business,
operations, property, assets, or condition and that the Amended Master Agreement
is in full force and effect and not in default. A failure by us to satisfy any
of the covenants, representations or warranties would result in default or other
adverse impact under the Credit Facility.
As of April 29, 2006, the Company had no loans outstanding and approximately
$67.4 million of availability under the Credit Facility, net of outstanding
letters of credit totaling $10.8 million (the majority of which were standby
letters of credit commitments) and minimum excess availability requirements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our
consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical
accounting estimates that require management to make judgments and estimates
that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. We believe that investors
need to be aware of these policies and how they impact our financial statements
as a whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein.
While we believe that these accounting estimates are based on sound measurement
criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be
materially different from these estimates or forecasts.
The accounting estimates and related risks described in our fiscal 2005 Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 are those that depend
most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of April 1, 2006, there have
been no material changes to any of the critical accounting estimates contained
therein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
DERIVATIVES
As of April 29, 2006, we were not materially exposed to changes in the
underlying values of our assets or liabilities nor were we materially exposed to
changes in the value of expected foreign currency cash flows. We historically
have not entered into derivative instruments for any purpose other than to
manage our interest rate exposure. We do not hold derivative financial
investments for trading or speculative purposes.
INTEREST RATES
Revolving loans under our Credit Facility bear interest at rates that are based
upon the LIBOR and the Prime Rate and therefore, our consolidated financial
statements could be exposed to changes in interest rates. As of April 29, 2006,
we had no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility and letters of credit
issued thereunder totaled $10.8 million (the majority of which were standby
letters of credit). We assess interest rate cash flow risk by identifying and
monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected
future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company has
engaged in interest rate hedging agreements in the past for purposes of limiting
portions of interest rate expense in connection with outstanding variable rate
debt.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
A significant percentage of Meldisco's products are sourced or manufactured
offshore, with China accounting for approximately 99% of all sources. Our
offshore product sourcing and purchasing activities are currently, and have been
historically, denominated in U.S. dollars, and, therefore, we do not currently
have material exposure to cash flows denominated in foreign currencies nor have
net foreign exchange gains or losses been material to operating results in the
reporting periods presented in this report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President,
Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such
term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period
covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). There are inherent limitations
to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures,
including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of
the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and
procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Senior
Vice President, Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation
Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable
assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during
the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.
