Property at Cost

Note C.    Property at Cost

Presented below are the components of property at cost:

		Fiscal Year Ended
In thousands		January 28, 2017				January 30, 2016
Land and buildings		$	1,247,585			$	1,013,247
Leasehold costs and improvements			2,884,054				2,817,929
Furniture, fixtures and equipment			4,871,764				4,412,848
Total property at cost		$	9,003,403			$	8,244,024
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization			4,470,509				4,106,449
Net property at cost		$	4,532,894			$	4,137,575

During fiscal 2017 the Company identified fully depreciated assets that were no longer in use and should have been written off during fiscal 2017 or prior periods. The fiscal 2016 property at cost and accumulated depreciation was reduced by $825 million. There was no impact to net property at cost. This error was not material to our consolidated financial statements, however we have corrected amounts for the prior fiscal year to reflect the write off that should have been recorded at that time.

Presented below is information related to carrying values of TJX’s long-lived assets by geographic location:

		Fiscal Year Ended

United States		$	3,312,210			$	3,101,846
Canada			283,688				242,705
Europe			920,710				782,970
