NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods of the fiscal year ending February 1, 2014 and of the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013. Certain items included in these statements are based on management’s estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2013. 
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The provisions of this new guidance were effective prospectively as of the beginning of 2013. Accordingly, enhanced footnote disclosure is included in Note 5. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 had no effect on our results of operations or financial position.
 
We performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment during the first quarter of 2013, using a qualitative approach as permitted under Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. In performing the assessment, we identified and considered the significance of relevant key factors, events, and circumstances that affected the fair value and/or carrying amounts of our reporting units. These factors included external factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as our actual and planned financial performance. Based on the results of the impairment assessment performed, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values and there are no reporting units at risk of impairment.
 
Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisition
 
Effective July 7, 2013, the Company acquired 100 percent of the shares of Runners Point Warenhandelsgesellschaft mbH, (“Runners Point Group”) a specialty athletic store and online retailer based in Recklinghausen, Germany. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition was $87 million in cash, subject to adjustment for finalization of the purchase price for working capital adjustments. At the date of acquisition, Runners Point Group operated 194 stores in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. Additionally, there were 24 Runners Point Group franchise stores operating in Germany and Switzerland. The acquisition is intended to enhance the Company’s position in Germany and also provide additional banners to further diversify and expand the Company’s European business.  Also, the addition of the strong digital capabilities of Tredex, the e-commerce subsidiary of Runners Point Group, allows for the potential of accelerated e-commerce growth in Europe. 
 
The results of Runners Point Group are included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

2. Acquisition – (continued)
 
The following table summarizes allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired, based on the exchange rate in effect at the date of our acquisition of Runners Point Group. The Company has allocated the purchase price, in part, upon internal estimates of cash flows and considering the report of a third-party valuation expert retained to assist the Company. The allocation of the purchase price in the table below is preliminary and subject to change based on the finalization of the purchase price.

(1)     Due to foreign currency fluctuations, the U.S. dollar value of tradenames increased to $30 million as of November 2, 2013.
 
We determined that the tradenames have an indefinite life and will not be amortized. These tradenames will be tested annually for impairment, along with the goodwill recorded for the purchase. The value of the favorable leases will be amortized over the terms of the respective leases. 
 
The amount of goodwill expected to be tax deductible is $4 million. 

3. Segment Information
 
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on its method of internal reporting. As of November 2, 2013, the Company has two reportable segments, Athletic Stores and Direct-to-Customers.  Sales and division results for the Company’s reportable segments for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012 are presented below. Division profit reflects income before income taxes, corporate expense, net interest expense, and net non-operating income.
 
As discussed in Note 2, Acquisition, the Company acquired Runners Point Group during the second quarter of 2013.  Sales and division results for the Runners Point Group stores, including Runners Point, Sidestep and Run2, are included in the Athletic Stores segment since the date of acquisition.  Sales and division results for Tredex, a direct-to-customer subsidiary of Runners Point Group, are included in the Direct-to-Customers segment since the date of acquisition.

Included in the Athletic Stores segment for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 is a $2 million charge recorded in connection with the closure of all CCS stores.
 
 
(2)
Other income includes non-operating items, such as lease termination gains, royalty income, and the changes in fair value, premiums paid and realized gains associated with foreign currency option contracts.
 
During the second quarter of 2013 the Company closed all 22 of its CCS stores. As of November 2, 2013, 12 of these stores were converted to other store formats, 2 will be converted by the end of the year and 1 will be converted during the first quarter of 2014. The CCS store closures are not presented as part of discontinued operations as the operations and cash flows related to the majority of the closed stores are expected to continue through other store formats and the Company’s websites.  The Company will continue to operate the CCS catalog and e-commerce website. 
 
Athletic Stores sales include $64 million and $84 million for thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended November 2, 2013, respectively, related to the Runners Point Group stores. Direct-to-Customers sales include $8 million and $10 million, respectively, related to the Tredex division of Runners Point Group.
 
Athletic Stores division profit includes $1 million and $3 million for thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended November 2, 2013, respectively, related to the Runners Point Group stores. The effect on Direct-to-Customers division profit was not significant. Costs associated with the acquisition and integration of $1 million and $4 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 are included in corporate expense.

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Annually during the first quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, the Company reviews goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment. The annual assessment of goodwill and assets with indefinite lives performed during the first quarters of 2013 and 2012 did not result in impairment charges. The fair value of each of the reporting units substantially exceeds its carrying value for both periods. The following table provides a summary of goodwill by reportable segment.

As of November 2, 2013, in connection with the allocation of the purchase price of the Runners Point Group acquisition, the Company recognized $30 million of indefinite life intangible assets for the Runners Point Group tradenames. Also as a result of the purchase price allocation, $5 million was recognized for favorable leases in 15 locations with rents below their fair value, which are being amortized over a weighted-average life of 6 years.
 
The change since year end also includes $2 million of lease acquisition additions related to Foot Locker Europe, which are being amortized over a weighted-average life of 10 years. Foreign exchange fluctuations related to the euro increased the balance by $2 million.  This was offset by amortization expense of $9 million recorded for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013.

6. Financial Instruments
 
The Company operates internationally and utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to mitigate its foreign currency exposures, primarily related to third-party and intercompany forecasted transactions. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company has a policy of entering into contracts only with major financial institutions, selected based upon their credit ratings and other financial factors. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of counterparties throughout the duration of the derivative instrument.
 
Additional information is contained within Note 7, Fair Value Measurements.
 
Derivative Holdings Designated as Hedges
 
For a derivative to qualify as a hedge at inception and throughout the hedged period, the Company formally documents the nature of the hedged items and the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the methods of assessing hedge effectiveness and hedge ineffectiveness. In addition, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction would occur. If it were deemed probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument would be recognized in earnings immediately. No such gains or losses were recognized in earnings for any of the periods presented. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period, which management evaluates periodically.
 
The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. For option and foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory, the effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) and is recognized as a component of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. The amount reclassified to cost of sales related to such contracts was not significant for any of the periods presented. The effective portion of gains or losses associated with other forward contracts is deferred as a component of AOCL until the underlying transaction is reported in earnings. The ineffective portion of gains and losses related to cash flow hedges recorded to earnings was also not significant for any of the periods presented. When using a forward contract as a hedging instrument, the Company excludes the time value of the contract from the assessment of effectiveness. At each quarter-end, the Company had not hedged forecasted transactions for more than the next twelve months, and the Company expects all derivative-related amounts reported in AOCL to be reclassified to earnings within twelve months.

6. Financial Instruments – (continued)
 
The net change in the fair value of foreign exchange derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory was not significant for any of the periods presented. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at November 2, 2013 was $58 million and these contracts extend through July 2014.
 
Derivative Holdings Designated as Non-Hedges
 
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge foreign-currency denominated merchandise purchases and intercompany transactions that are not designated as hedges. The net change in fair value was not significant for any of the periods presented. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at November 2, 2013 was $33 million and these contracts extend through December 2013.
 
Additionally, the Company enters into diesel fuel forward and option contracts to mitigate a portion of the Company’s freight expense due to the variability caused by fuel surcharges imposed by our third-party freight carriers. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings immediately. The effect was not significant for any of the periods presented. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at November 2, 2013 was not significant.
 
Fair Value of Derivative Contracts

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in other comprehensive income, unless unrealized losses are determined to be other than temporary. As of November 2, 2013, the Company held $38 million of available-for-sale securities, which was comprised of $32 million of short-term investments and a $6 million auction rate security, which is included in other assets.
 
Short-term investments represent corporate bonds with maturity dates within one year from the purchase date. These securities are valued using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets and therefore are classified as Level 2 instruments.
 
The fair value of the auction rate security is determined by using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and accordingly is classified as a Level 2 instrument.
 
The Company’s derivative financial instruments are valued using market-based inputs to valuation models. These valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility.  There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets and liabilities for any of the periods presented.
 
Additionally, in connection with the acquisition and purchase price allocation of Runners Point Group, the Company recognized its assets and liabilities at fair value. See Note 2, Acquisition, for further discussion and additional disclosures. All amounts are categorized as Level 3.

In connection with the acquisition of Runners Point Group in the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized capital lease obligations. These were existing agreements primarily related to the financing of certain store fixtures. As of November 2, 2013, $8 million is included in the total above; $3 million is classified as short-term and $5 million is classified as long-term.
 
The fair value of long-term debt is determined by using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets and therefore is classified as Level 2.
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and other current receivables and payables approximate their fair value.

8. Earnings Per Share
 
The Company accounts for and discloses net earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company’s basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company’s reported net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. The Company’s restricted stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic earnings per share computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents.
 
The Company’s basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was as follows:

Options to purchase 1.1 million and 0.9 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, respectively. Options to purchase 0.9 million and 0.7 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, respectively. These options were not included primarily because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive. As of November 2, 2013, contingently issuable shares of 0.4 million have not been included as the vesting conditions have not been satisfied.

9. Pension and Postretirement Plans
 
The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its North American employees, which are funded in accordance with the provisions of the laws where the plans are in effect. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company sponsors postretirement medical and life insurance plans, which are available to most of its retired U.S. employees. These medical and life insurance plans are contributory and are not funded.

Compensation expense related to the Company’s stock option and stock purchase plans was $3 million and $9 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2013, respectively, and was $2 million and $7 million for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012, respectively. As of November 2, 2013, there was $11 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.10 years.
 
Restricted Stock and Units
 
Restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and restricted stock units may be awarded to certain officers and key employees of the Company. The Company also issues restricted stock units to its non-employee directors. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, provided that the vesting conditions are satisfied. As of November 2, 2013, 997,542 restricted stock units were outstanding. Compensation expense is recognized using the fair market value at the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, provided the recipient continues to be employed by the Company.
 
Generally, awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically three years. However, restricted stock unit grants made in connection with the Company’s long-term incentive program vest after the attainment of certain performance metrics and the passage of time. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of grant and the holders have voting rights. Dividends are paid to holders of restricted stock that vests with the passage of time; for any performance-based restricted stock granted after May 19, 2010, dividends will be accumulated and paid after the performance criteria are met.
