NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2010.
The Companys business is subject to seasonal variations in which a greater percent of the Companys annual net sales and net income typically occur during the period from August 1 through December 31 of the fiscal year. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The Companys fiscal year ends on January 31. All references in these notes to the Companys fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, the Companys fiscal year 2011 will end on January 31, 2011.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) ASC Topic 820Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update responds to concerns surrounding disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 and aims to improve the transparency of financial reporting of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The update requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and provision of the basis for such transfers. Also required are disclosures for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements stating separately (on a gross basis), purchase, sale, issuance and settlement information. ASU No. 2010-06 also amends ASC Topic 820 to mandate fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities (level of disaggregation). Additionally, reporting entities are now required to disclose information about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in Level 2 and Level 3 categories. The Company has adopted the new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures as of February 1, 2010 which were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. This adoption had no impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has not adopted the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements as these disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods with those fiscal years. The Company does not expect this adoption to have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Proceeds from the sale and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $247,721 and $140,129 for the six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company included in other income net realized gains of $80 and losses of $20 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, respectively. The Company included in other income net realized gains of $40 and $749 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, respectively. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, resulted in charges of $2,092 and $4,329 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, respectively. Amortization of discounts and premiums, net, resulted in charges of $1,515 and $2,537 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, respectively.
As of July 31, 2010, the par value of the Companys auction rate securities (ARS) was $35,325 and the estimated fair value was $31,457. The Companys ARS portfolio consists of A or better rated ARS that represent interests in municipal and student loan related collateralized debt obligations, all of which are guaranteed by either government agencies and/or insured by private insurance agencies at 97% or greater of par value. To date, the Company has collected all interest payable on outstanding ARS when due and has not been informed by the issuers that accrued interest payments are currently at risk. The Company does not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and the Company believes that it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost.
5. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In accordance with ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company utilizes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach that relate to its financial assets and financial liabilities). The levels of the hierarchy are described as follows:
| Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions. |

Managements assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company recognizes transfers between levels at the end of each reporting period. As of July 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009 there were no transfers of assets between levels. The Companys financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the tables below:

As of July 31, 2010, all of the Companys Level 3 financial instruments consisted of ARS that failed at auction. There was insufficient observable market information to determine fair value for these financial instruments. The Company estimated the fair values for these securities by incorporating assumptions that it believes market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Some of these assumptions included credit quality, collateralization, final stated maturity, estimates of the probability of being called or becoming liquid prior to final maturity, redemptions of similar ARS, previous market activity for the same investment security, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and valuation models. As a result of this review, the Company determined its ARS to have a temporary impairment of $3,868, $4,120, and $5,166 as of July 31, 2010, January 31, 2009 and July 31, 2009, respectively. The estimated fair values could change significantly based on future market conditions. The Company will continue to assess the fair value of its ARS for substantive changes in relevant market conditions, changes in its financial condition or other changes that may alter its estimates described above. Failed ARS represent approximately 4.2% of the Companys total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of July 31, 2010.
Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending ARS balances that the Company valued using a Level 3 valuation for the periods shown.

6. Line of Credit Facility
On September 21, 2009, the Company amended its renewed line of credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association (the Line). This amendment adds an additional borrower and adds certain additional guarantors. The Line is a three-year revolving credit facility with an accordion feature allowing an increase in available credit up to $100,000 at the Companys discretion. On May 27, 2010, the Company executed a fifth amendment to the Line increasing its credit limit to $80,000. Cash advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% to 1.60% based on the Companys achievement of prescribed adjusted debt ratios. The Line subjects the Company to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios and covenants such as fixed charge coverage and adjusted debt. The covenants also include limitations on the Companys capital expenditures, ability to repurchase shares and the payment of cash dividends. As of and during the six months ended July 31, 2010, there were no borrowings under the Line and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Line. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $51,786 as of July 31, 2010. The available credit under the Line was $48,214 as of July 31, 2010, which includes the accordion feature up to $100,000. The Company plans to renew the Line during fiscal 2011 and expects that such renewal will satisfy its credit needs through at least fiscal 2012. Wachovia Bank, National Association was acquired by Wells Fargo, effective January 1, 2009. The Wells Fargo acquisition did not affect the original line agreement.
7. Share-Based Compensation
Stock Options
The Company recorded $1,010 and $2,006 of stock compensation expense related to stock option awards as well as related tax benefits of $283 and $559 in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, respectively. Stock compensation expense related to stock option awards included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 was $888 and $1,667 with related tax benefits of $332 and $600, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, the Company granted 327,000 and 432,000 stock option awards, respectively. The Company granted 102,500 and 330,000 stock option awards during the three and six months ended July 31, 2009. For stock options granted during the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, a lattice binomial stock option pricing model was used to calculate the estimated fair values of the grants. Total compensation expense of stock options granted but not yet vested, as of July 31, 2010, was $14,828, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.3 years.
Performance Shares
In April 2008, the Company granted two separate awards of 30,184 Performance Stock Units (PSUs) each. These PSUs are subject to a vesting period of two years for the first grant (Grant A), and three years for the second grant (Grant B). Each PSU grant is subject to various performance criteria. If any of these criteria are not met, the grants are forfeited. Each PSU is equal to one share of common stock with a total award value not to exceed 30% appreciation. Grant A had a grant date fair value of $21.55 per share and Grant B had a grant date fair value of $19.47 per share, with both grants having a total grant date fair value of $1,238. The grant date fair value was calculated using a lattice binomial model. The Company has not recognized compensation expense in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to these PSU awards during the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 due to vesting being deemed highly improbable based on the unlikely achievement of the performance criteria governing the grant. Grant A did not vest and therefore was forfeited because the performance criteria were not met as of January 31, 2010. The performance criteria

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(unaudited)
achievement is re-measured at each reporting period, and if it is deemed likely that the performance targets will be achieved, any unrecognized compensation expense related to Grant B will be recognized prospectively as of the current reporting period.
In April 2009, the Company granted two separate awards of 54,466 PSUs each. These PSUs are subject to a vesting period of two years for the first grant (Grant C), and three years for the second grant (Grant D). Each PSU grant is subject to various performance targets. If any of these targets are not met, the grants are forfeited. Each PSU is equal to one share of common stock with a total award value not to exceed 30% appreciation. Grant C had a grant date fair value of $12.22 per share and Grant D had a grant date fair value of $12.89 per share, with both grants having a total grant date fair value of $1,368. The grant date fair value was calculated using a lattice binomial model. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, related share-based compensation expense of $158 and $316, respectively, is included in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, related share-based compensation expense of $158 and $162 was included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Total unrecognized compensation cost as of July 31, 2010 for these non-vested PSUs was $573, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.2 years.
In November 2009, the Company granted an award of 1,000,000 PSUs. These PSUs are subject to a performance period of seven years and are subject to various company performance targets and external market conditions. If any of these targets are not met, some or all the PSUs are forfeited. Each PSU is equal to one share of common stock with the maximum award value of 1,000,000 shares subject to adjustment based on achievement of the performance criteria. These PSUs had a grant date fair value of $25.56 per share and a total grant date fair value of $25,564. The grant date fair value was calculated using a lattice binomial model.
For the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, the Company has recognized related share-based compensation expense of $1,045 and $2,091, respectively, which is included in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Total unrecognized compensation cost as of July 31, 2010 for these non-vested PSUs was $22,604, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 5.5 years.
8. Shareholders Equity
On February 28, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. The program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to 8,000,000 common shares from time-to-time, based upon prevailing market conditions. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 2,015,180 common shares at a total cost of $68,002. The average cost per share was $33.74, including commissions. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 112,770 common shares for $3,986 from an employee to meet a minimum statutory tax withholding requirement. The Company did not repurchase any common shares during the three and six months ended July 31, 2009. A total of 4,764,820 common shares remain available for repurchase as of July 31, 2010.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding |
172,325,996 | 170,719,274 | 172,572,985 | 170,521,836 | ||||
For the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, options to purchase 1,250,650 common shares with an exercise price range of $37.35 to $39.58 and options to purchase 5,468,700 common shares with an exercise price range of $18.25 to $37.51, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the Companys computation of diluted weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Furthermore, options to purchase 1,091,400 and 5,511,575 common shares were outstanding for the six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, but were not included in the Companys computation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The price of the options range from $37.35 to $39.58 and $16.58 to $37.51 for the six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising from normal business activities. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
11. Segment Reporting
The Company is a global retailer of lifestyle-oriented general merchandise with two reporting segmentsRetail and Wholesale. The Companys retail segment consists of the aggregation of its four brands operating through 342 stores under the retail names Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People and Terrain and includes their direct marketing campaigns, which consisted of three catalogs and seven web sites as of July 31, 2010. The Company operates its retail stores and its direct marketing campaigns as a single operating segment. Net sales from the retail segment accounted for approximately 95% of total consolidated net sales for both the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2010. For both the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2009, net sales from the retail segment accounted for approximately 94% of total consolidated net sales. The remainder is derived from the Companys wholesale segment that manufactures and distributes apparel to its retail segment and to approximately 1,400 better department and specialty retailers worldwide. The Companys wholesale segment consists of two brands, Free People and Leifsdottir.
The Company has aggregated its retail stores and associated direct marketing campaigns into a Retail segment based upon their unique management, customer base and economic characteristics. Reporting in this format provides management with the financial information necessary to evaluate the success of the segments and the overall business. The Company evaluates the performance of the segments based on the net sales and pre-tax income from operations (excluding inter-company charges) of the segment. Corporate expenses include expenses incurred and directed by the corporate office that are not allocated to segments. The principal
11

identifiable assets for each operating segment are inventories and property and equipment. Other assets are comprised primarily of general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other assets, and which are typically not allocated to the Companys segments. The Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties making similar volume purchases.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the policies described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on the 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010. Both the retail and wholesale segments are highly diversified. No customer comprises more than 10% of sales. A summary of the information about the Companys operations by segment is as follows:

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain matters contained in this filing may constitute forward-looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words project, believe, plan, anticipate, expect and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Any one, or all, of the following factors could cause actual financial results to differ materially from those financial results mentioned in the forward-looking statements: the difficulty in predicting and responding to shifts in fashion trends, changes in the level of competitive pricing and promotional activity and other industry factors, overall economic and market conditions and the resultant impact on consumer spending patterns, lowered levels of consumer confidence and higher levels of unemployment, and continuation of lowered levels of consumer spending resulting from the recent worldwide economic downturn, any effects of terrorist acts or war, availability of suitable retail space for expansion, timing of store openings, seasonal fluctuations in gross sales, the departure of one or more key senior managers, import risks, including potential disruptions and changes in duties, tariffs and quotas, the closing of any of our distribution centers, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, risks associated with internet sales, response to new store concepts, potential difficulty liquidating certain marketable security investments and other risks identified in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, filed on April 1, 2010. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update forward looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that actual results may differ materially from any projected results expressed or implied therein.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to Urban Outfitters, the Company, we, us, our or our company refer to Urban Outfitters, Inc., together with its subsidiaries.
Overview
We operate two business segments, a leading lifestyle merchandising retailing segment and a wholesale apparel segment. Our retailing segment consists of our Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People and Terrain brands, whose merchandise is sold directly to our customers through our stores, catalogs, call centers and web sites. Our wholesale apparel segment consists of our Free People wholesale division that designs, develops and markets young womens contemporary casual apparel and Leifsdottir, which designs, develops and markets sophisticated womens contemporary apparel.
Our comparable retail segment net sales data includes our comparable store and comparable direct-to-consumer channels. A store is included in comparable retail segment net sales data, as presented in this discussion, if it has been open at least one full fiscal year, unless it was materially expanded or remodeled within that year or was not otherwise operating at its full capacity within that year. A direct-to-consumer channel is included in comparable retail segment net sales if it has been operational for at least an entire fiscal year. Sales from stores and direct-to-consumer channels that do not fall within the definition of a comparable store are considered non-comparable. The effects of foreign currency translation are also considered non-comparable.
Although we have no precise empirical data as it relates to customer traffic or customer conversion rates in our stores, we believe that, based only on our observations, changes in transaction volume, as discussed in our results of operations, may correlate to changes in customer traffic. Transaction volume changes may be caused by response to our brands fashion offerings, our web advertising, circulation of our catalogs and an overall growth in brand recognition as we expand our store base.
Our fiscal year ends on January 31. All references in this discussion to our fiscal years refer to the fiscal years ended on January 31 in those years. For example, our fiscal year 2011 will end on January 31, 2011.
Our long-term goal is to achieve a net sales compounded annual growth rate of 20% or better through a combination of opening new stores, growing comparable store sales, continuing the growth of our direct-to-consumer and wholesale operations and introducing new concepts.
14
Retail Stores
As of July 31, 2010, we operated 160 Urban Outfitters stores of which 135 were located in the United States, 7 were located in Canada and 18 were located in Europe. For the six months ended July 31, 2010, we opened 5 new Urban Outfitters stores, all of which were located within the United States. Urban Outfitters targets young adults aged 18 to 28 through a unique merchandise mix and compelling store environment. Our product offering includes womens and mens fashion apparel, footwear and accessories, as well as an eclectic mix of apartment wares and gifts. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years, some of which may be outside the United States. Urban Outfitters North American and European store net sales accounted for approximately 31.4% and 5.0% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2010, compared to 33.9% and 5.2%, respectively, for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.
As of July 31, 2010, we operated 145 Anthropologie stores of which 140 were located in the United States, 3 were located in Canada and 2 were located in Europe. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, we opened eight new Anthropologie stores, seven of which were located within the United States and one that was located in Europe. Anthropologie tailors its merchandise to sophisticated and contemporary women aged 28 to 45. Our product assortment includes womens casual apparel and accessories, home furnishings and a diverse array of gifts and decorative items. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years, some of which may be outside the United States. Anthropologies North American store net sales accounted for approximately 37.1% of consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2010, compared to 36.9% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. Anthropologies European stores accounted for less than 1% of total consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2010.

As of February 1, 2010, we converted one Free People store to a new Free People wholesale showroom. Free People primarily offers private label branded merchandise targeted to young contemporary women aged 25 to 30. Free People provides a unique merchandise mix of casual womens apparel, accessories and gifts. We plan to open additional stores over the next several years. Free Peoples store net sales accounted for 2.1% of consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2010, compared to 2.0% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.
As of July 31, 2010, we operated one Terrain store which was located in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. Terrain is our newest store concept and is designed to appeal to customers interested in a creative, sophisticated outdoor living and gardening experience. Terrain seeks to create a compelling shopping environment, inspired by the greenhouse. The site is large and free standing. Merchandise includes lifestyle home and garden products combined with antiques, live plants and flowers. Terrain also offers a variety of landscape and design services. We will continue to evaluate locations for future Terrain garden centers in fiscal 2011. Terrains store net sales accounted for less than 1% of consolidated net sales for each of the six months ended July 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009.
For all brands combined, we plan to open approximately 45 new stores during fiscal 2011, which will include approximately 16 Anthropologie, 21 Urban Outfitters, and 8 Free People stores.

For the three months ended July 31, 2010, we circulated approximately 1.1 million catalogs compared to approximately 1.0 million catalogs during the comparable period in fiscal 2010. We plan to circulate approximately 8.2 million catalogs during fiscal 2011, up from approximately 7.4 million catalogs circulated during fiscal 2010 and intend to further increase the level of catalog circulation over the next few years.
Free People also operates a web site, www.freepeople.com, that accepts orders directly from consumers. The web site exposes consumers to the entire Free People product assortment found at Free People retail stores as well as all of the Free People wholesale offerings.
Terrain operates a web site that accepts orders directly from consumers. The web site, www.shopterrain.com, was launched in September 2009. The web site exposes consumers to a portion of the product assortment found at the Terrain retail store.
Leifsdottir operates a web site that accepts orders directly from consumers. The web site, www.leifsdottir.com, was launched in February 2010. The web site exposes consumers to the entire offerings from the Leifsdottir concept.
We believe that our web sites increase the reputation and recognition of our brands with our target customers and help support the strength of our stores operations. We also believe that our catalogs have aided in expanding our distribution channels and increasing brand awareness. We plan on increasing our spending on investments in web marketing in fiscal 2011. These increases will be based on our daily evaluation of the customers response rate to our marketing investments.
Direct-to-consumer sales for all brands combined were approximately 17.7% of consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2010 compared to 15.6% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.
Wholesale
The Free People wholesale division designs, develops and markets young womens contemporary casual apparel. Free Peoples range of tops, bottoms, sweaters and dresses are sold worldwide through approximately 1,400 better department and specialty stores, including Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Belk, and
16
our own Urban Outfitters and Free People stores. Free People wholesale sales accounted for approximately 4.8% of consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2010 compared to 5.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.
Leifsdottir was established in fiscal 2009. Leifsdottir designs, develops and markets sophisticated womens contemporary apparel including dresses, tops and bottoms. Leifsdottir is sold through luxury department stores including Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, select specialty stores and our own Anthropologie stores. Leifsdottir wholesale sales accounted for less than 1% of total consolidated net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). These generally accepted accounting principles require 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 net sales and expenses during the reporting period.
Our senior management has reviewed the critical accounting policies and estimates with our audit committee. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2010. We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require managements most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly from estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would cause our actual results to be materially different from our estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the point-of-sale for retail store sales or when merchandise is shipped to customers for wholesale and direct-to-consumer sales, net of estimated customer returns. Revenue is recognized at the completion of a job or service for landscape sales. Revenue is presented on a net basis and does not include any tax assessed by a governmental authority. Payment for merchandise at our stores and through our direct-to-consumer business is by cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card. Therefore, our need to collect outstanding accounts receivable for our retail and direct-to-consumer business is negligible and mainly results from returned checks or unauthorized credit card charges. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for our wholesale and landscape service businesses accounts receivable, which management reviews on a regular basis and believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses and billing adjustments. Deposits for custom orders are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon delivery of the merchandise to the customer. These custom orders, typically for upholstered furniture, have not been material. Deposits for landscape services are recorded as a liability and recognized as a sale upon completion of service. Landscape services and related deposits have not been material.
We account for a gift card transaction by recording a liability at the time the gift card is issued to the customer in exchange for consideration from the customer. A liability is established and remains on our books until the card is redeemed by the customer at which time we record the redemption of the card for merchandise as a sale or when we determine the likelihood of redemption is remote. We determine the probability of the gift cards being redeemed to be remote based on historical redemption patterns. Revenues attributable to gift card liabilities relieved after the likelihood of redemption becomes remote are included in sales and have not been material. Our gift cards do not expire.
17
Sales Return Reserve
We record a reserve for estimated product returns where the sale has occurred during the period reported, but the return is likely to occur subsequent to the period reported and may otherwise be considered in-transit. The reserve for estimated in-transit product returns is based on our most recent historical return trends. If the actual return rate or experience is materially different than our estimate, the reserve will be adjusted in the future. As of July 31, 2010, January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, reserves for estimated sales returns in-transit totaled $10.0 million, $9.9 million and $7.9 million, representing 2.8%, 2.9% and 2.7% of total liabilities, respectively.
Marketable Securities
Our marketable securities may be classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities represent those securities that are held at amortized cost and that we have both the intent and the belief that it is not likely that we will be required to sell the debt security prior to its maturity and recovery of full amortized cost. Interest on these securities, as well as amortization of discounts and premiums, is included in interest income. Available-for-sale securities represent debt securities that do not meet the classification of held-to-maturity, are not actively traded and are carried at fair value, which approximates amortized cost. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are considered temporary and therefore are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of shareholders equity until realized. When available-for-sale securities are sold, the cost of the securities is specifically identified and is used to determine the realized gain or loss. Securities classified as current have maturity dates of less than one year from the balance sheet date. Securities classified as long-term have maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available for sale securities such as auction rate securities (ARS) that fail at auction and do not liquidate under normal course are classified as long term assets, any successful auctions would be classified as current assets. All of our marketable securities as of July 31, 2010, January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009 were classified as available-for-sale.
Inventories
We value our inventories, which consist primarily of general consumer merchandise held for sale, at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of merchandise and freight. A periodic review of inventory quantities on hand is performed in order to determine if inventory is properly stated at the lower of cost or market. Factors related to current inventories, such as future consumer demand and fashion trends, current aging, current and anticipated retail markdowns or wholesale discounts, and class or type of inventory, are analyzed to determine estimated net realizable values. Criteria we use to quantify aging trends includes factors such as average selling cycle and seasonality of merchandise, the historical rate at which merchandise has sold below cost during the average selling cycle, and merchandise currently priced below original cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value, if required. Inventories as of July 31, 2010, January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009 totaled $243.2 million, $186.1 million and $217.1 million, representing 14.1%, 11.4% and 15.0% of total assets, respectively. Any significant unanticipated changes in the factors noted above could have a significant impact on the value of our inventories and our reported operating results.
Adjustments to provisions related to the net realizable value of our inventories are primarily based on the market value of our physical inventories, cycle counts and recent historical trends. Our estimates generally have been accurate and our provision methods have been applied on a consistent basis. We expect the amount of our provisions to increase over time as we expand our store base and accordingly, related inventories.
Long-Lived Assets
Our long-lived assets consist principally of store leasehold improvements, as well as furniture and fixtures, and are included in the Property and equipment, net line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheets included in this report. Store leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-
18
line method over the lesser of the applicable store lease term, including lease renewals which are reasonably assured, or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvements. The typical initial lease term for our stores is ten years. Buildings are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over 39 years. Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful life, which is typically five years. Net property and equipment as of July 31, 2010, January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009 totaled $559.9 million, $540.0 million and $528.3 million, respectively, representing 32.4%, 33.0% and 36.6% of total assets, respectively.
In assessing potential impairment of these assets, we periodically evaluate historical and forecasted operating results and cash flows on a store-by-store basis. Newly opened stores may take time to generate positive operating and cash flow results. Factors such as store type (e.g., mall versus free-standing), store location (e.g., urban area versus college campus or suburb), current marketplace awareness of our brands, local customer demographic data and current fashion trends are all considered in determining the time frame required for a store to achieve positive financial results, which, in general, is assumed to be within three years from the date a store location has opened. If economic conditions are substantially different from our expectations, the carrying value of certain of our long-lived assets may become impaired. For the six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, as well as for fiscal 2010, write downs of long-lived assets were not material.
We have not historically encountered material early retirement charges related to our long-lived assets. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss included in net income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to selling, general and administrative expense as incurred. Major renovations or improvements that extend the service lives of our assets are capitalized over the extension period or life of the improvement, whichever is less. We did not close any store locations during the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.
As of July 31, 2010, all of our stores opened in excess of three years are expected to generate positive annual cash flow before allocation of corporate overhead.
Accounting for Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax obligations together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes, such as depreciation of property and equipment and valuation of inventories. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. Actual results could differ from this assessment if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. Deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2010, January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009 totaled $46.3 million, $43.6 million and $41.5 million, representing 2.7%, 2.7% and 2.9% of total assets, respectively.
To the extent we believe that recovery of an asset is at risk, we establish valuation allowances. To the extent we establish valuation allowances or increase the allowances in a period, we include an expense within the tax provision in the condensed consolidated statement of income. Valuation allowances as of July 31, 2010, January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009 were $2.4 million, $2.2 million, and $1.8 million, respectively. Changes in valuation allowances are due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards of certain foreign subsidiaries as well as those in certain state jurisdictions. In the future, if enough evidence of our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in these jurisdictions becomes apparent, we would be required to reduce our valuation allowances, resulting in a reduction in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates the likelihood that we will realize the deferred tax assets and adjusts the valuation allowances, if appropriate.
19
Accounting for Contingencies
From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. We are required to record an estimated loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies arising from contractual disputes or legal proceedings requires management to use its best judgment when estimating an accrual related to such contingencies. As additional information becomes known, our accrual for a loss contingency could fluctuate, thereby creating variability in our results of operations from period to period. Likewise, an actual loss arising from a loss contingency that significantly exceeds the amount accrued in our financial statements could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such actual loss becomes known.

Three Months Ended July 31, 2010 Compared To Three Months Ended July 31, 2009
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased by $93.5 million or 20.4% to $552.2 million from $458.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. This increase was attributable to a $89.5 million, or 20.7%, increase in retail segment net sales in addition to a $4.0 million, or 15.5% increase in wholesale segment net sales, excluding inter-segment sales to our retail segment. Retail segment net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 accounted for 94.6% of total net sales compared to 94.4% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The growth in our retail segment net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was driven by a $40.1 million increase in new and non-comparable store net sales, a $23.8 million increase in comparable store net sales and a $25.6 million increase in direct-to-consumer net sales. Our total Company comparable retail segment net sales increase of 11.4% was comprised of an increase of 12.7%, 23.8%, and 9.2% at Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Outfitters, respectively.
The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable and new stores was primarily the result of operating 45 new or existing stores that were not in operation for the full comparable quarter last fiscal year. Comparable store net sales increases for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were driven by increases in transactions and units per transaction while average unit sales prices were flat. Thus far during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, comparable retail segment net sales are high single digit positive. Direct-to-consumer net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased over the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in traffic to our web sites. Catalog circulation decreased by approximately 0.2 million catalogs or 2.6% over the prior comparable period. The wholesale segment net sales increase was driven by an increase in units sold to specialty stores as well as an increase in average unit selling price to specialty and department stores.
Gross profit rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased to 42.5% of net sales from 40.8% of net sales in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase in rate was primarily due to a lower rate of markdowns to clear seasonal inventories, leveraging of store occupancy expenses driven by positive comparable store sales and improvements in initial merchandise margins. Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2011
21
increased by $47.7 million or 25.5% to $234.8 million from $187.1 million in the comparable quarter in fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily related to the increased sales volume. Total inventories at July 31, 2010 increased by $26.2 million or 12.0% to $243.2 million from $217.1 million as of July 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the addition of inventory to stock new retail stores. On a comparable retail segment basis, which includes our direct-to-consumer channel, inventories increased by 3.3% at cost.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a rate of net sales decreased during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to 23.1% of net sales compared to 23.7% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily due to leveraging of direct store fixed and controllable costs that was bolstered by the positive comparable store net sales during the quarter. The favorable leveraging of store related costs more than offset an increase in incentive based compensation due to improved total company performance. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased by $19.3 million, or 17.7%, to $127.9 million from $108.7 million in the second quarter in fiscal 2010. The increase primarily related to the operating expenses of new and non-comparable stores.
Income from operations was 19.4% of net sales or $106.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 17.1% of net sales, or $78.4 million, for the second quarter in fiscal 2010.
Our annual effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased to 33.3% of income before income taxes from 38.2% of income before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. This decrease was partially due to the favorable impact of foreign operations income as well as a one-time federal rehabilitation credit earned related to our newest building at the Companys headquarters in the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We estimate that the annual effective tax rate will be approximately 35% for the full fiscal year of 2011.
Six Months Ended July 31, 2010 Compared To Six Months Ended July 31, 2009
Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2010 increased by $188.7 million or 22.4% to $1,032.1 million from $843.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2010. This increase was attributable to a $183.7 million, or 23.2%, increase in retail segment net sales in addition to a $5.0 million, or 10.0% increase in wholesale segment net sales, excluding inter-segment sales to our retail segment. Retail segment net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2010 accounted for 94.7% of total net sales compared to 94.1% of net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2009. The growth in our retail segment net sales during the six months ended July 31, 2010 was driven by a $77.6 million increase in new and non-comparable store net sales, a $55.0 million increase in comparable store net sales and a $51.1 million increase in direct-to-consumer net sales. Our total Company comparable retail segment net sales increase of 13.6% was comprised of an increase of 17.4%, 24.3%, and 9.3% at Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Outfitters, respectively.
The increase in net sales attributable to non-comparable and new stores was primarily the result of operating 54 new or existing stores that were not in operation for the full comparable period last fiscal year. Comparable store net sales increases for the first six months of fiscal 2011 were driven by increases in transactions and units per transaction which more than offset a slight decrease in average unit sales prices. Direct-to-consumer net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2011 increased over the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in traffic to our web sites. Catalog circulation decreased by approximately 0.3 million catalogs or 1.8% over the prior comparable period. The wholesale segment net sales increase was driven by an increase in units sold to specialty stores as well as an increase in average unit selling price to department stores.
Gross profit rate for the six months ended July 31, 2010 increased to 42.2% of net sales from 39.2% of net sales in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase in rate was primarily due to improvements in initial merchandise margins, leveraging of store occupancy expense and a lower rate of merchandise markdowns to clear seasonal inventories. Gross profit for the six months ended July 31, 2010 increased by $105.2 million or 31.8% to $435.6 million from $330.4 million in the comparable quarter in fiscal 2010. This increase was primarily related to the increased sales volume.
22
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a rate of net sales decreased for the six months ended July 31, 2010 to 23.9% of net sales compared to 24.4% of net sales for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily due to leveraging of direct store fixed and controllable costs benefitted by the positive comparable store net sales during the period. The favorable leveraging of store related costs more than offset an increase in incentive based compensation due to improved total company performance. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2010 increased by $40.6 million, or 19.7%, to $246.5 million from $205.8 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The increase primarily related to the operating expenses of new and non-comparable stores.
Income from operations was 18.3% of net sales or $189.1 million during the six months ended July 31, 2010 compared to 14.8% of net sales, or $124.6 million, for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.
Our tax rate decreased to 34.5% of income before income taxes for the six months ended July 31, 2010 from 37.4% of income before income taxes for the comparable period of fiscal 2010. This decrease was due to the favorable impact of foreign operations income as well as a one-time federal rehabilitation credit earned related to our newest building at the Companys headquarters at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $748.7 million as of July 31, 2010, as compared to $745.0 million as of January 31, 2010 and $583.3 million as of July 31, 2009. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $8.7 million to $124.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2010. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in net income which was partially offset by changes in working capital accounts during the six months ended July 31, 2010. Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2010 was $13.5 million, of which the primary source was sales and maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by purchases of marketable securities and cash used to construct new stores. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2010 was $50.7 million, which primarily related to share repurchases during the period. Our working capital was $764.2 million at July 31, 2010 compared to $617.7 million at January 31, 2010 and $423.8 million at July 31, 2009. Changes in working capital primarily relate to the volume of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and inventories relative to inventory-related payables and store-related accruals.
During the last three years, we have mainly satisfied our cash requirements through our cash flow from operations. Our primary uses of cash have been to open new stores and purchase inventories. We have also continued to invest in our direct-to-consumer efforts, wholesale businesses, distribution facilities, home office, our international subsidiaries and we may enter into one or more acquisitions or transactions related to the expansion of our brands.
Cash paid for property and equipment for the six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 was $64.6 million and $57.4 million, respectively, and was primarily used to expand and support our store base. During fiscal 2011, we expect to open approximately 45 new stores, renovate certain existing stores, complete an expansion of our headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, modestly increase our catalog circulation by approximately 3 million catalogs, to approximately 40 million catalogs, and purchase inventory for our stores, direct-to-consumer and wholesale businesses at levels appropriate to maintain our planned sales growth. We expect the level of capital expenditures during fiscal 2011 to approximate $120 million, which will be used primarily to expand our store base and our home office. We believe that our new store, catalog and inventory investments generally have the ability to generate positive operating cash flow within a year. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011 we substantially completed a 54,000 square foot expansion to our headquarters in the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The project cost is approximately $25.0 million.
23
On February 28, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. The program authorizes us to repurchase up to 8,000,000 common shares from time-to-time, based upon prevailing market conditions. We purchased and subsequently retired 1,220,000 common shares during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007. During the six months ended July 31, 2010 we purchased and subsequently retired 2,015,180 common shares for $68.0 million at an average price of $33.74 per share, including commissions. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, we repurchased and retired 112,770 common shares for $4.0 million from an employee to meet a minimum statutory tax withholding requirement. As of July 31, 2010 4,764,820 common shares remained available for share repurchase. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended July 31, 2009.
On September 21, 2009, we amended our renewed and amended line of credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association (the Line). This amendment adds an additional borrower and adds certain additional guarantors. The Line is a three-year revolving credit facility with an accordion feature allowing an increase in available credit up to $100 million at our discretion. On May 27, 2010, we executed a fifth amendment to the Line increasing its credit limit to $80 million. Cash advances bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.50% to 1.60% based on our achievement of prescribed adjusted debt ratios. The Line subjects us to various restrictive covenants, including maintenance of certain financial ratios and covenants such as fixed charge coverage and adjusted debt. The covenants also include limitations on our capital expenditures, ability to repurchase shares and the payment of cash dividends. As of and during the six months ended July 31, 2010, there were no borrowings under the Line and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Line. Outstanding letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit under the Line totaled approximately $51.8 million as of July 31, 2010. The available credit, including the accordion feature under the Line totaled approximately $48.2 million as of July 31, 2010. We plan to renew the line during fiscal 2011 and expect such renewal to satisfy our letter of credit needs through at least fiscal 2012.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of and for the six months ended July 31, 2010, except for operating leases entered into in the normal course of business, we were not party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Other Matters
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update responds to concerns surrounding disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 and aims to improve the transparency of financial reporting of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The update requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and provision of the basis for such transfers. Also required are disclosures for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements stating separately (on a gross basis), purchase, sale, issuance and settlement information. ASU No. 2010-06 also amends ASC Topic 820 to mandate fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities (level of disaggregation). Additionally, reporting entities are now required to disclose information about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in Level 2 and Level 3 categories. We have adopted the new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures as of February 1, 2010 which were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. This adoption had no impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have not adopted the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements as these disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods with those fiscal years. We do not expect this adoption to have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We are exposed to the following types of market risksfluctuations in the purchase price of merchandise, as well as other goods and services; the value of foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar; and changes in interest rates. Due to our inventory turnover rate and our historical ability to pass through the impact of any generalized changes in our cost of goods to our customers through pricing adjustments, commodity and other product risks are not expected to be material. We purchase substantially all of our merchandise in U.S. dollars, including a portion of the goods for our stores located in Canada and Europe.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of July 31, 2010 and 2009, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities consisted primarily of funds invested in money market accounts, Federal Government Agencies, tax-exempt municipal bonds rated A or better, FDIC insured corporate bonds and ARS rated A or better, which bear interest at a variable rate. Due to the average maturity and conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we believe a 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Since the interest rates on a material portion of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are variable, a change in interest rates earned on the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities would impact interest income along with cash flows, but would not impact the fair market value of the related underlying instruments.
Less than 5% of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in A or better rated ARS that represent interests in municipal and student loan related collateralized debt obligations, all of which are guaranteed by either government agencies and/or insured by private insurance agencies up to 97% or greater of par value. Our ARS had a fair value of $31.5 million as of July 31, 2010, $33.5 million as of January 31, 2010 and $37.9 million as of July 31, 2009, respectively. As of July 31, 2010, all of the ARS we held failed to liquidate at auction due to lack of market demand. Liquidity for these ARS is typically provided by an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals, usually 7, 28, 35 or 90 days. The principal associated with these failed auctions will not be available until a successful auction occurs, the bond is called by the issuer, a buyer is found from outside the auction process, or the debt obligation reaches its maturity. Based on review of credit quality, collateralization, final stated maturity, estimates of the probability of being called or becoming liquid prior to final maturity, redemptions of similar ARS, previous market activity for the same investment security, impact due to extended periods of maximum auction rates and valuation models, we have recorded $3.9 million of temporary impairment on our ARS as of July 31, 2010, $4.1 million as of January 31, 2010 and $5.2 million as of July 31, 2009. To date, we have collected all interest payable on outstanding ARS when due and expect to continue to do so in the future. We do not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and we believe that it is not likely that we will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost. As a result of the current illiquidity, we have classified all ARS as long term assets under marketable securities. We continue to monitor the market for ARS and consider the impact, if any, on the fair value of our investments.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
