All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Dollar amounts are reported in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Lands' End Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2016. Reclassifications In April 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the required presentation of debt issuance costs from an asset on the balance sheet to a deduction from related debt liability, and which was adopted by the Company in the First Quarter 2016. The reclassifications resulting from the adoption of this ASU relate to Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets as of January 29, 2016 and July 31, 2015 that were reclassified to Long-term debt. This reclassification reduced our current and total assets and our total liabilities, as previously reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for January 29, 2016 and July 31, 2015. This reclassification had no effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Operations, Stockholders’ Equity or Cash Flows as previously reported. See Note 4, Debt, for further discussion.
