increase of $0.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively. There was no change in the reserve for
potential income tax penalties during the Successor period.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the reserve for uncertain tax
positions may be reduced by approximately $64.8 million in the coming twelve months as a
result of the settlement of currently ongoing state income tax examinations and the anticipated
filing of an income tax accounting method change request that is expected to resolve certain
uncertainties related to accounting methods employed by the Company. The reasonably possible
change of $64.8 million is included in both current liabilities ($21.2 million) and other
noncurrent liabilities ($43.6 million) in the consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2008.
Also, as of February 1, 2008 (after the merger and the related application of purchase
accounting), approximately $0.3 million of the reserve for uncertain tax positions would impact
the Company’ s effective income tax rate if the Company were to recognize the tax benefit for
these positions.
A reconciliation of the reserve associated with uncertain income tax positions from
February 3, 2007 (the date of adoption) through February 1, 2008 is as follows:

Balance as of February 3, 2007 $ 77,864
