In general, we use the same measurements to compute earnings before income tax expense for reportable segments as we do for the consolidated
company. However, redemptions of our merchandise rewards certificates are included in net sales for our Retail Stores segment. The sales amount
in our Other segment includes an entry to eliminate these transactions from our consolidated net sales. There is no impact to earnings before income
tax expense for this adjustment. In addition, our sales return reserve for our Retail Stores segment is recorded in the Other segment. Other than
described above, the accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies
in Note 1.
