connection with the acquisition of two majority-owned subsidiaries, the Company
is party to put arrangements with respect to the common securities that
represent the remaining noncontrolling interests of the acquired companies.
Each put arrangement is exercisable by the counter-party outside the control of
the Company by requiring the Company to redeem the counterparty&#146;s entire equity
stake in the subsidiary at a put price based on a multiple of earnings formula.
Each put arrangement is recorded on the balance sheet at its redemption value
and classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent
equity. As of January&nbsp;30, 2010, the redeemable noncontrolling interests of
$13.8 million was composed of redemption values related to the Focus Europe
S.r.l (&#147;Focus&#148;) and Guess Sud SAS (&#147;Guess Sud&#148;) put arrangements of $10.9
million and $2.9 million, respectively.</font></p>

put arrangement for Focus, representing 25% of the total outstanding equity
interest of that subsidiary, may be exercised at the discretion of the minority
owner by providing written notice to the Company no later than June&nbsp;27,
2012. The redemption value of the Focus put arrangement is based on a multiple
of Focus&#146;s net earnings.</font></p>

interest of that subsidiary, may be exercised at the discretion of the minority

Guess Sud put arrangement is based on a multiple of Guess Sud&#146;s earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For
the fiscal year ended January&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company recorded total
noncontrolling (minority) interests of $9.5 million which was classified
outside of permanent equity. This amount represented all noncontrolling
interests in the Company&#146;s subsidiaries at this date, including both redeemable
and nonredeemable noncontrolling interests.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
December&nbsp;2007, FASB Statement No.&nbsp;160 (&#147;SFAS 160&#148;), &#147;<i>Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements</i>&#148;
was issued. SFAS 160 amended ARB 51 (&#147;ARB 51&#148;), &#147;<i>Consolidated
Financial Statements</i>&#148; and established accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and clarified the
classification of noncontrolling interests in consolidated statements of
financial position and the accounting for and reporting of transactions between
the reporting entity and holders of such noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 was
effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008 and
was adopted by the Company in the fiscal year that commenced on February&nbsp;1,
2009 (&#147;Fiscal 2010&#148;). The provisions of SFAS 160 require the statement to be
applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements,
which are required to be applied retrospectively for all periods. SFAS 160
required that noncontrolling interests be classified as part of permanent
equity. Since SFAS 160 and ARB 51 do not specifically address the
classification of redeemable noncontrolling interests, following the issuance
of SFAS 160, EITF Topic D-98 (&#147;Topic D-98&#148;) was adjusted to address its
interaction with SFAS 160 and registrants were instructed to initially apply
the measurement guidance for redeemable noncontrolling interests presented in
Topic D-98 no later than the effective date of SFAS 160.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Topic
D-98 determines the measurement and classification of redeemable equity
interest arrangements and requires that if the redeemable interest is currently
redeemable then the carrying amount should be adjusted to the maximum
redemption value amount at the end of each balance sheet reporting period and classified
as temporary equity.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Topic
D-98 was also adjusted whereby any adjustment to the carrying amount of a
noncontrolling interest from the application of Topic D-98 does not impact net
income or comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements.
Rather, such adjustments are treated akin to the repurchase of a noncontrolling
interest and recorded to retained earnings. In addition, periods preceding the
initial adoption of SFAS 160 should disclose the redemption amount of those
securities on the face of the balance sheet.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As
part of the adoption of SFAS 160 and the application of Topic D-98, the Company
retrospectively adjusted the prior period balance sheet as of January&nbsp;31,
2009 to reflect the impact of the adoption by presenting redeemable
noncontrolling interests separately from nonredeemable noncontrolling interests
and adjusting the redeemable noncontrolling interests to the maximum redemption
value calculated at that date. This resulted in approximately $10.1 million of
redeemable noncontrolling interests to be reported separately under temporary
equity and $2.5 million of nonredeemable noncontrolling interests to be
reported within stockholders equity, the components of which are described
below.</font></p>
