<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company launched customer loyalty programs for its G by GUESS, GUESS? and GUESS by MARCIANO stores in July&nbsp;2009, August&nbsp;2008 and September&nbsp;2007, respectively. The GUESS? and GUESS by MARCIANO loyalty programs were merged in May&nbsp;2009. Under the programs, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty program member achieves a certain point level, the member earns awards that may only be redeemed for merchandise. In all of the programs, unredeemed points generally expire after six months and unredeemed awards generally expire after two months. These relatively short life cycles of points and awards have allowed the Company to analyze multiple cycles of redemption history and determine a reliable redemption pattern in a shorter time frame than might otherwise be expected for programs with longer award life cycles.</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;">Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 (which ended January&nbsp;29, 2011), the Company determined that it had not yet accumulated sufficient data to reliably estimate the amount of loyalty points and awards that would ultimately be redeemed. Therefore, all unexpired, unredeemed points and awards were accrued at full value in current liabilities and recorded as a reduction of net sales as points and awards were accumulated by the member. In January&nbsp;2011, having completed a second peak holiday selling season since the inception of the G by GUESS loyalty program (July&nbsp;2009) and since the merger of the GUESS? and GUESS by MARCIANO loyalty programs (May&nbsp;2009), the Company completed an analysis of loyalty program data and determined that it then had sufficient data to make reasonable and objective estimates of points and awards that would ultimately be redeemed. Therefore, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment of $6.7 million to adjust the current liability balance to an amount reflecting estimated future redemptions.</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;">The Company views the determination of the loyalty program accrual as similar to other accruals where uncertainty exists and historical data is required to be accumulated before an accurate liability can be determined (i.e. sales return reserves, warranties). This approach differs from gift card accounting where more long-term timelines have been prescribed due to the nature of typical gift card programs discussed further below. In the Company&#146;s most recent Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q, filed with the Commission on June&nbsp;7, 2011, the Company has provided additional disclosure to more clearly describe the loyalty programs, including information concerning the short life cycles of points and awards, as more fully set forth below:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">The Company launched customer loyalty programs for its G by GUESS, GUESS? and GUESS by MARCIANO stores in July&nbsp;2009, August&nbsp;2008 and September&nbsp;2007, respectively. The GUESS? and GUESS by MARCIANO loyalty programs were merged in May&nbsp;2009. Under the programs, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. Once a loyalty program member achieves a certain point level, the member earns awards that may only be redeemed for merchandise. In all of the programs, unredeemed points generally expire after six months and unredeemed awards generally expire after two months. Due to the relative newness of the programs, prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, all unexpired, unredeemed points and awards were accrued in current liabilities and recorded as a reduction of net sales as points and awards were accumulated by the member. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, based on the accumulation of multiple cycles of actual redemptions experienced since inception of the programs, the Company revised its approach to estimate the value of future award redemptions under the existing loyalty program by incorporating these historical redemption rates. In connection with this revision, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment of $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 to increase net revenue and to adjust the current liability balance to an amount reflecting estimated future award redemptions.&nbsp;The aggregate dollar value of the loyalty program accruals included in accrued liabilities was $2.5 million and $2.7&nbsp;million at April&nbsp;30, 2011 and January&nbsp;29, 2011, respectively. Future revisions to the estimated liability may result in changes to net revenue.&#148;</font></i></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .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;">The Company acknowledges the Commission&#146;s additional request to disclose in future filings the redemption rates assumptions and average actual redemption patterns for the loyalty programs. The Company, however, does not believe that the accounting and disclosure for loyalty programs should be treated the same as the accounting and disclosure generally associated with gift card programs. The disclosure of &#147;breakage rates&#148; for gift card programs is important as they have redemption periods that can span several years since they do not expire. In addition, in gift card programs, a company receives cash from a customer who purchases a gift card and determines that a portion of the purchased gift card will not be redeemed. As a result, the company recognizes a portion of the cash received into income. However, there is always a risk that the gift card is ultimately redeemed by the customer resulting in a reversal of that income in future years. This differs significantly from the Company&#146;s loyalty programs, where the lives of the points and awards are much shorter, eliminating the risk of multiple years of potential exposure to its estimated accrual. In addition, in the Company&#146;s loyalty programs, the customer has not specifically purchased points or awards and the Company has not received any additional cash proceeds. Accordingly, the Company believes that disclosure of long-term breakage rates for the Company&#146;s loyalty programs is not</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the Company&#146;s most recent Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q, filed with the Commission on June&nbsp;7, 2011, the Company has provided additional disclosure to clarify that Mr.&nbsp;Alberini did not receive any termination payments in connection with his departure.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With respect to the method used to amortize prior service amounts related to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (&#147;SERP&#148;), the Company amortizes the prior service cost as a component of net periodic pension cost over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the SERP, as allowed by ASC 715-30-35-13 (i.e. &#147;the straight-line method&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With respect to the method used to amortize net actuarial losses, the Company recognizes actuarial losses as a decrease in other comprehensive income as they arise. The amortization of a net actuarial loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income to net periodic pension cost occurs for a particular year if, as of the beginning of the year, that net loss exceeds 10% of the projected benefit obligation. Note that the SERP is a non-qualified plan, and as such, is not required to be funded and no comparison is made to any assets that would impact the amortization. If amortization is required, the minimum amortization shall be that excess divided by the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the SERP as allowed by ASC 715-30-35-24 through 27.</font></p>
