Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper
management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are
subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended February 1, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of February 1, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
