<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From November 2004 through April 2008, through four wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company operated the Disney Store retail chain in
North America (the "Disney Store Business") under a license agreement (the "License Agreement") with the Walt Disney Company ("Disney"). On March&nbsp;20, 2008, after a thorough review of the Disney
Store Business, including its potential for earnings growth, its capital needs and its ability to fund such needs from its own resources, we decided to exit the Disney Store Business. On
March&nbsp;26, 2008, the Company's subsidiaries that operated the Disney Store Business, Hoop Holdings,&nbsp;LLC, Hoop Retail Stores,&nbsp;LLC, Hoop Canada Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. and Hoop
Canada&nbsp;Inc. (collectively "Hoop"), each filed a voluntary petition for relief under bankruptcy provisions in their respective jurisdictions. On April&nbsp;30, 2008, with approval of the
respective bankruptcy courts, Hoop sold the Disney Store Business to affiliates of Disney, including a majority of the Disney stores and related assets and effectively ended the License Agreement.
During the remainder of Fiscal 2008, those stores not acquired by Disney were closed, and the remaining affairs of Hoop were mostly wound down. For further discussion of the Disney Store Business, see
Note&nbsp;2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a result of our decision to exit the Disney Store Business and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S.&nbsp;GAAP"), we have
reclassified the Disney Store Business as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Related to the Disney Store Business during Fiscal 2008, Fiscal
2007 and Fiscal 2006, we recorded income (loss) from discontinued operations of $8.4&nbsp;million, $(69.5) million and $3.1&nbsp;million, respectively. Included in income (loss) from discontinued
operations for Fiscal 2008, Fiscal 2007, and Fiscal 2006 were net sales of $129&nbsp;million, $642&nbsp;million and $612&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Key Capabilities  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our objective is to deliver high-quality merchandise at value prices and we employ a variety of techniques to achieve that
objective as follows: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Merchandising Strategy.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our merchandising strategy is built on offering interchangeable outfits and accessories to create a
coordinated look
distinctive to the brand. We offer an updated, focused assortment of styles in a variety of colors and patterns, with the aim of consistently creating a fresh, youthful look at value prices that we
believe distinguishes "The Children's Place" brand. We divide the year into quarterly merchandising seasons: spring, summer, back-to-school and holiday. Within each season, we
typically deliver two merchandise lines. Each season is built around a color palette that includes an assortment of coordinated basic and fashion apparel with matching accessories. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;High Quality/Value Pricing.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that our high quality, value price positioning is an important component of our long-term
strategy. We offer high-quality clothing and accessories under "The Children's Place" brand name at prices below most of our direct mall-based competitors. We employ this value
pricing strategy across our entire merchandise offering. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Low-Cost Sourcing.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We control the design, sourcing and presentation of our products. We believe that this control is essential
in
assuring the consistency and quality of our merchandise, as well as our ability to deliver value to our customers. We have established long-standing relationships with our vendors and
suppliers. Through these relationships and our extensive knowledge of low cost sourcing, we are able to offer our customers high-quality products at value prices. Our offices in Hong Kong,
Shanghai and New Delhi allow us to capitalize on new sourcing opportunities, increase our control over product quality and enable us to respond to changing merchandise trends effectively and
efficiently. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Merchandising Process  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To execute our merchandising strategies, we rely on the coordinated efforts of our design, merchandising, planning and sourcing teams.
These teams, in conjunction with senior management, review prior season results and fashion trends, colors and design concepts that we will offer in upcoming seasons. Merchandising selects items for
production from the assortment of merchandise designs that are created by the design team. Then, based upon detail design specifications and production quantities determined by merchandising and
planning, the sourcing team arranges for the issuance of purchase orders and manufacture of the selected items. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Work
on each of our seasonal lines begins approximately one year before the season. However, the Company maintains, and at times exercises, the ability to develop and deliver product on
an expedited timeline. The merchandising process includes purchasing of samples and gathering market intelligence on fashion trends, which involves extensive European and domestic market research,
studying media and fashion magazines, attending trade shows, engaging the services of fashion and color forecast organizations, and analyzing prior season performance. After the design teams present
their ideas, the designers, with the direction of the merchandising team, translate those ideas into a merchandise assortment that reflects the theme of the season. These interpretations include
variations in fabric and other materials, product color, decoration and age-appropriate silhouettes. Potential items are designed using computer aided design technology, which allows for a
wide range of style and fashion options. Our sourcing teams and Asian offices coordinate the production of prototype samples which enable our merchandising teams to ensure that our merchandise will
properly reflect our design concepts. We also work with prototype samples in a simulated in-store environment. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
merchandise management teams create a detailed purchasing plan for the season covering each department, category and key item, based on historical, current and emerging category
trends. The production process takes approximately five to six months from order confirmation to receipt of merchandise at our distribution facilities. Our planning teams monitor current and projected
inventory levels on a weekly basis and analyze sales patterns to predict future demand for various items and categories. We regularly monitor sales and maintain some flexibility to adjust merchandise
on order for future seasons or to accelerate delivery of merchandise. Our merchandise allocation teams are responsible for planning and allocating merchandise to each store based on sales levels,
merchandise turns and other factors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Sourcing and Procurement  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We combine management's extensive apparel sourcing experience with a cost-based buying strategy to control merchandise
costs, infuse quality features into our products and deliver value to our customers. We believe that our understanding of the economics of apparel manufacturing, including costs of materials and
components enables us to identify cost-effective countries and manufacturers from which to source each item and obtain high quality at low product cost. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Four
times a year, our U.S. sourcing team makes on-site visits to our independent agents and various manufacturers to negotiate product costs, finalize technical
specifications for each product and confirm delivery of merchandise manufactured to our specifications. During Fiscal 2008, we engaged approximately 175 independent manufacturers located primarily in
Asia. To support our inventory needs and to control merchandise costs, we continue to pursue global sourcing opportunities and consider such factors as product quality, cost, reliability of the
manufacturer, service, product lead times, and other factors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have no exclusive or long-term contracts with our manufacturers and typically transact business on an item-by-item basis under purchase orders at
freight on board cost in U.S. dollars. We are party to agency agreements with commissioned independent agents who oversee production, assist in sourcing and pre-production approval,
provide quality inspection and ensure timely delivery of merchandise. During Fiscal 2008, we purchased approximately 25% of our products through the support of a commissioned, independent agent in
Taiwan, and approximately 14% of our products through an independent Hong Kong-based trading company. This trading company is responsible for procurement from wholly-owned facilities as
well as contract manufacturers located throughout Asia. In addition, we believe our offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai and New Delhi enable us to obtain more favorable material and manufacturing costs and
quickly identify and act on new sourcing and supplier opportunities. Our Asian offices also facilitate our prototype sample production and enable us to foster stronger relationships with our
suppliers, manufacturers, agents and trading companies. During Fiscal 2008, we purchased approximately 50% of our total merchandise without the aid of commissioned buying agents or trading companies,
and approximately 41% of our total goods were sourced from China. Using our purchase order, advanced shipping notification and tracking systems, our independent agents and our sourcing department
actively monitor the status of each purchase order from order confirmation to merchandise receipt. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
augment our manufacturers' testing requirements with our own in-house quality assurance laboratory to test and evaluate fabric, trimming materials and
pre-production samples against a comprehensive range of physical performance standards before production begins. The quality control personnel in our Asian offices, independent agents and
trading company visit the various manufacturing facilities to monitor the quality control and production process. Our Asian offices enhance our quality control by enabling us to monitor component and
manufacturing quality at close range and address related problems at an early stage. With this focus on pre-production quality, we are generally able to detect and correct quality-related
problems before bulk production begins. We do not accept finished goods until each purchase order receives formal certification of compliance from our own quality assurance associates, agents or
appointed third-party inspectors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition to our quality control procedures, we administer a social compliance program designed to promote compliance with local legal regulations, as well as ethical and socially
responsible business practices. This program is comprised of four components as follows: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
require all entities that produce or manufacture The Children's Place merchandise to undergo a Social Compliance audit and, at a minimum, demonstrate compliance with the requirements
of our Vendor Code of Conduct. By requiring our manufacturers and suppliers to participate in our social compliance program, we are able to monitor closely whether we are sourcing from factories that
operate using safe and humane working conditions, and whether we are working with factory managers that appreciate and support socially responsible practices. Additionally, because our social
compliance program requires us to be diligent about changes in local laws and other conditions (e.g.,&nbsp;political instability) in the countries where we source, we are able to make informed
decisions about where we are sourcing our products and, prior to placing orders, analyze potential risks to our sourcing capabilities arising as a result of factors external to a factory's production
capabilities. In the event that external risks to our sourcing capabilities arise with respect to one or more factories, our social compliance program helps to identify such risks early and enables us
to source to another factory thereby mitigating the risk and reducing the potential disruption to our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At The Children's Place, our store concepts consist of "Apple-Maple", "Technocolor" and "Outlet" formats, as follows: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>Apple-Maple</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&#151;These stores feature light wood floors, fixtures and trim. They are brightly lit, featuring
floor-to-ceiling glass windows that allow our colorful fashions to attract customers from the outside. A customized grid system throughout the store's upper perimeter displays
featured merchandise, marketing photographs and promotions. The average store is approximately 4,400 square feet and as of January&nbsp;31, 2009, approximately 51% of our stores were of this
concept. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>Technocolor</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&#151;These stores have an atmosphere that is unique, bright, fun and use color to create boutique-like settings that
better differentiate the various departments within the store. These stores also feature wider aisles than the Apple-Maple format for customers with strollers, and more wall space allowing for
enhanced merchandise presentation and ease of shopping. The </FONT></P>

full-priced merchandise in our outlet stores. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Store Expansion Program  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During Fiscal 2008, we opened 26 stores, remodeled 15 and closed 13, compared to opening 54 stores, remodeling 21 and closing 16 in
Fiscal 2007. We plan to open approximately 35 stores and remodel approximately 10 Children's Place in the fiscal year ending January&nbsp;30, 2010 (Fiscal 2009). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
Fiscal 2007, we launched a new 'store-within-a-store' shoe store during the back-to-school season. As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, our
expanded shoe assortment has been featured in 58 stores and our online store. We are currently evaluating our shoe business and will not commit to expanding it until the concept has been thoroughly
proven. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Internet Sales ("e-commerce")  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our e-commerce business has been growing at a rapid pace, and we expect it to continue to grow in Fiscal 2009. Over the
past three years, e-commerce net sales have grown aggregately over 200%. Our e-commerce sales were $88.9&nbsp;million, $54.5&nbsp;million, and $40.2&nbsp;million for
Fiscal 2008, Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2006, respectively. As a percentage of total net sales, e-commerce revenue was approximately 5.5%, 3.6% and 2.9% for Fiscal 2008, Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal
2006, respectively. Our commitment to our e-commerce business is reflected in a focus on our customer service and brand awareness strategies, as well as our investments in our
infrastructure. We use third party resources to fully manage the hosting of our website, while all other fulfillment services are provided in house. By outsourcing the management of our website, we
are provided <SUP>24</SUP>/<SMALL>7</SMALL> support and have immediate scalability to handle increased customer orders. In addition, we are in the process of relocating our fulfillment operations from a 150,000
square foot distribution center to a section of one that is 700,000 square feet, which will provide that same scalability to our fulfillment services. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Store Operations  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Children's Place store operations are organized into ten regions. We employ two Zone Vice Presidents who oversee our operations and
to whom regional managers report. A regional manager oversees each region and has several district managers reporting to them. Each district manager is responsible for approximately eight to ten
stores. Our stores are staffed by a store management team and approximately 10 part-time sales associates, with additional part-time associates hired to support seasonal needs.
Our store leadership teams spend a high percentage of their time on the store selling floors providing direction, motivation, and development to store personnel. To maximize selling productivity, our
teams emphasize greeting, replenishment, presentation standards, procedures and controls. In order to motivate our store leadership, we offer a monthly incentive compensation plan that awards bonuses
for achieving certain financial goals. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Seasonality  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business is subject to seasonal influences, with heavier concentrations of sales during the back-to-school
and holiday seasons. Our first quarter results are heavily dependent upon sales during the period leading up to the Easter holiday. Our third quarter results are dependent upon
back-to-school sales at The Children's Place. Our fourth quarter results are dependent upon sales </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Marketing  </B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We build our brand recognition and equity by marketing our products, value message and image primarily through our direct mail program,
magazine advertising, store front windows, in-store marketing, and "The Children's Place" private label credit card. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
view The Children's Place private label credit card as an important marketing and communication tool. Pursuant to a merchant services agreement, private label credit cards are issued
to our customers for use exclusively at The Children's Place stores, and credit is extended to such customers through a third-party financial institution on a non-recourse basis to us. Our
private label credit card accounts for approximately 15% of The Children's Place net sales. We believe that our private label credit card promotes affinity and loyalty through specialized incentive
programs and facilitates communication with such customers through delivery of coupons and promotional materials. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Logistics  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We support the distribution of product to our stores through five strategically located warehouses throughout North America. Our leased
warehouse facilities include a 525,000 square foot distribution center in South Brunswick Township, New Jersey; a 250,000 square foot distribution center in Ontario, California; a 95,000 square foot
distribution center in Ontario, Canada and a 150,000 square foot online fulfillment center in Secaucus, New Jersey. In addition, we own a 700,000 square foot distribution center in Fort Payne,
Alabama, which opened in August 2007 to support projected growth. On occasion, we may operate other leased facilities to support seasonal warehousing needs. As a result of the continued growth in our
e-commerce business, the processing of online orders will be relocated from the fulfillment center in Secaucus, New Jersey ("Secaucus Facility") to our warehouse facilities in Fort Payne,
Alabama in June of 2009. We anticipate that after this relocation, we will no longer occupy the fulfillment center in Secaucus, New Jersey. As more fully described in Note&nbsp;17 of the
consolidated financial statements, in March 2009, we signed an agreement with our landlord which terminated our lease obligations for the Secaucus Facility. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Competition  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The children's apparel and accessories retail markets are highly competitive. We compete in substantially all of our markets with
GapKids, babyGap and Old Navy (each of which is a division of The Gap,&nbsp;Inc.); The Gymboree Corporation; Tween Brands,&nbsp;Inc.; Babies "R" Us and Toys "R" Us (each of which is a division of
Toys "R" Us,&nbsp;Inc.); J.C. Penney Company,&nbsp;Inc.; Sears (a division of Sears Holdings Corporation); Kohl's and other department stores as well as discount stores such as
Wal-Mart Stores,&nbsp;Inc.; Target Corporation; and K-Mart (a division of Sears Holdings Corporation). In addition, given our expansion into
the shoe category, we now compete with stores such as Stride Rite and Payless, as well as smaller shoe retailers. We also compete with a wide variety of specialty stores, other national and regional
retail chains, catalog companies and Internet retailers. One or more of our competitors are present in substantially all of the areas in which we have stores. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Trademarks and Service Marks  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"The Children's Place," "babyPLACE," "Place," "The Place," "TCP," "PLC" and certain other marks have been registered as trademarks
and/or service marks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The registration of the trademarks and the service marks may be renewed to extend the original registration period
indefinitely, provided the marks are still in use. We intend to continue to use and protect our trademarks and service marks and maintain their registrations. We have also registered our trademarks in
Canada and certain other countries and we are continuing to take steps to register our trademarks in other countries. We believe our trademarks and service marks have received broad recognition and
are of significant value to our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Government Regulation  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting our business, including consumer protection and
truth-in-advertising laws and regulations and zoning and occupancy ordinances that regulate retailers generally and/or govern the promotion and sale of merchandise and the
operation of retail stores. We also are subject to similar international laws and regulations affecting our business. We believe that we are in material compliance with these laws and regulations. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are committed to product quality and safety. We focus our efforts to adhere to all applicable laws and regulations affecting our business, including the provisions of the Consumer
Product Safety Act (the "CPSA") and the Flammable Fabrics Act, the Textile Fiber Product Identification Act and regulations of the Consumer Products Safety Commission ("CSPC") and various
environmental laws and regulations. With the passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (the "CSPIA") in August 2008, which amended the CPSA, there are new requirements mandated
for all children's products. These requirements relate to all metal and painted trim items and certain other raw materials and embellishments used in products for children age 12 and under. Among
other things, the CPSIA introduces new regulatory limits, testing, certification, packaging, labeling and advertising and reporting requirements with respect to such products and has increased
penalties for violations thereof. While the full scope and impact of the CPSIA is not currently known because it directs the CSPC to create new regulations and procedures on an ongoing basis, we have
been working to ensure that our products covered by the CSPIA are appropriately tested to comply with all requirements currently in effect. The compliance with current requirements and any future
requirements could be costly, and any failure to comply with such requirements could result in significant penalties, require us
to recall products and harm our reputation. See "Risk Factors&#151;The cost of compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Act of 2008 or our inability to comply with such act could have a
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investors in the Company should consider the following risk factors as well as the other information contained herein: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We depend on generating sufficient cash flow, together with our existing cash balances and availability under our credit facility to fund our ongoing operations, capital
expenditures and debt repayment.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our ability to fund our ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations will depend on our ability to
generate cash flow. Our cash flow is dependent on many factors, including: </FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and net income, which typically are lowest in the second fiscal quarter; </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>the timing of inventory purchases for upcoming seasons, which typically result in increased cash outlays in the second
fiscal quarter as we purchase merchandise for the back-to-school season;  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>vendor and other supplier terms and related conditions, which may be less favorable to us as a smaller company since our
exit from the Disney Store business; and </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>general business conditions, economic uncertainty or slowdown, including the recent significant slowdown in the overall
economy. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Some
of these factors are beyond our control. It is difficult to assess the impact that the general economic downturn will continue to have on consumer spending and our financial
results. However, we believe that it will likely result in reduced spending by our customers, which would reduce our revenues and our cash flows from operating activities from those that otherwise
would have been generated. In addition, steps that we take to limit cash outlays, such as delaying the purchase of inventory, may not be successful or could delay the arrival of merchandise for future
selling seasons, which could reduce our net sales or profitability. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may not be able to fund our ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures
and debt repayment obligations and may be required to seek additional sources of liquidity. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> In prior years, we have experienced deterioration in our profitability. If we are unable to anticipate and respond to merchandise trends, we may again suffer adverse
business consequences.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have previously experienced deterioration in our sales trends and profitability. Our continued success will depend in part on our
ability to anticipate and respond to fashion trends and consumer preferences. Our design, manufacturing and distribution process generally takes up to one year, during which time fashion trends and
consumer preferences may change. For the majority of Fiscal 2007, our merchandise was not widely accepted by consumers and, as a result, our sales declined and inventory levels were too high. While we
were able to achieve profitability in Fiscal 2008, failure to anticipate, identify or respond to future fashion trends could again adversely affect
customer acceptance of our products and require substantial markdowns, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Changes in comparable store sales results from period to period could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Numerous factors affect our comparable store sales results, including, among others, merchandise assortment, retail prices, fashion
trends, weather conditions, macro-economic conditions, the retail sales environment and our success in executing our business strategy. Many of our stores are located in malls, and as such, a decrease
in mall traffic could have a negative effect on our sales, which in turn would reduce our comparable store sales. During Fiscal 2008, we reported a comparable store sales </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>increase
of 2%, compared to a 3% comparable store sales increase achieved during Fiscal 2007 and a 10% comparable store sales increase achieved during Fiscal 2006. Our monthly comparable store sales
results have fluctuated significantly in the past and we anticipate that our monthly comparable store sales will continue to fluctuate in the future, particularly in the current difficult economic
climate, which may result in further declines in consumer spending. Moreover, comparable store sales for any particular period may decrease in the future. The investment community often follows
comparable store sales results closely and fluctuations in these results may affect the price of our common stock. Accordingly, any significant variations in our comparable store sales results could
have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Because the trading price of our common stock has significantly declined over the past two years, it is possible that one or more parties may seek to acquire us. There is no
assurance that any proposal to acquire us will be made or that a sale of our company will occur, nor has our Board determined that a sale of our company is advisable.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;6, 2008, Ezra Dabah, our former CEO, submitted a letter to our Board of Directors requesting that the Board
authorize, pursuant to Section&nbsp;203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Mr.&nbsp;Dabah to enter into one or more agreements with Golden Gate Private Equity,&nbsp;Inc. for the purpose of
making a proposal to the Board to acquire our outstanding stock. In response, the Board waived the provisions of Section&nbsp;203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law with respect to
Mr.&nbsp;Dabah's arrangements with Golden Gate Private Equity,&nbsp;Inc., and in addition, consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Board engaged an investment banking firm to act as its
financial advisor in undertaking a review of strategic alternatives to improve operations and enhance shareholder value. This review was concluded in February 2009 with no sale of our company having
been made. While we may be approached by other parties in addition to Mr.&nbsp;Dabah, there can be no assurance that any proposal to acquire our company will be made by Mr.&nbsp;Dabah or any other
party or as to the terms of any such proposal. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Dabah
and Stanley Silverstein, who is also a member of our Board, and certain members of their families beneficially own a significant percentage of our outstanding common
stock. As a result, Mr.&nbsp;Dabah and Mr.&nbsp;Silverstein have, and will continue to have, significant influence on the election of our directors and on determining the outcome of any matter
submitted to a vote of our stockholders for approval. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the event that Mr.&nbsp;Dabah, either acting alone or in combination with others, or any other party were to make an offer to acquire our company, the analysis and any negotiations
relating to any such offer will likely require substantial time and attention of our Board and senior management that could distract them from focusing on our business, as well as result in
significant expense to us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Recalls and post-manufacture repairs of our products and/or product liability claims against our products could harm our reputation, increase costs or reduce
sales.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and similar state and international regulatory authorities, and
our products could be subject to involuntary recalls and other actions by these authorities. Concerns about product safety, including but not limited to concerns about those manufactured in China or
other developing countries, where substantially all of our merchandise is manufactured, may lead us to recall selected products, either voluntarily, or at the direction of a governmental authority.
Product safety concerns, recalls, defects or errors could result in the rejection of our products by customers, damage to our reputation, lost sales, product liability litigation and increased costs,
any of which could harm our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> The cost of compliance with the Consumer Product Safety and Improvement Act of 2008 or our inability to comply with such act could have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With the passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (the "CSPIA") in August 2008, there are new requirements

Among other things, the CPSIA introduces new regulatory limits, testing, certification, packaging, labeling and advertising and reporting requirements with respect to such products and has increased
penalties for violations thereof. While the full scope and impact of the CPSIA is not currently known because it directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CSPC") to create new regulations and
procedures, we have been working to
ensure that our products covered by the CSPIA are appropriately tested to comply with all requirements currently in effect. The cost of compliance with current requirements and any future requirements
could have a negative impact on the cost of our products, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, any failure to comply with such requirements could result in
significant penalties, require us to recall products and harm our reputation, any or all of which would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Currency exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business and results of operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The market has recently seen significant volatility in the value of the dollar against other foreign markets and currency. While our
business is primarily conducted in U.S. dollars, we purchase substantially all of our products overseas, and we generate significant revenues in Canada. Cost increases caused by currency exchange rate
fluctuations could make our products less competitive or have an adverse effect on our profitability. Currency exchange rate fluctuations could also disrupt the business of the third-party
manufacturers that produce our products by making their purchases of raw materials more expensive and more difficult to finance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approximately
12% of our consolidated net sales and 12% of our operating expenses are transacted in foreign currencies. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates impact the amount of
our reported sales and expenses. Additionally, we have foreign currency denominated receivables and payables that when settled, could result in transaction gains or losses. To date, we have not hedged
against foreign currency fluctuations; however, we may pursue hedging alternatives in the future. Therefore, foreign currency fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our business and
results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Any disruption in, or changes to, our consumer credit arrangements, including our private label credit card agreement with Citibank, N.A., may adversely affect our ability
to provide consumer credit and write credit insurance.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During Fiscal 2008, our private label credit card sales approximated 15.1% of our net sales. Our agreement with Citibank, N.A., which
provides financing for our customers to purchase merchandise through our private label credit card, enhances our ability to provide consumer credit. Any disruption in, or change to, this agreement
could have a material adverse effect on our business, especially to the extent that it materially limits credit availability to our customer base. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
fiscal year 2008, total non-private label credit sales, including major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and others, constituted approximately
38.1% of our net sales. The loss or any substantial modification of any of these arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. During periods
of increasing consumer credit delinquencies in the retail industry generally, financial institutions may reexamine their lending practices and procedures. There can be no assurance that increased
delinquencies being experienced by providers of consumer credit generally would not cause providers of third party credit offered by us to </FONT></P>

the availability or increase the cost of such credit, which could have a material impact on our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Because we operate certain stores outside the United States and purchase most of our products overseas, some of our revenues, product costs and other expenses are subject to
foreign economic risks.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have operations in Canada and Puerto Rico. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to address in a timely manner the risks of
operating stores in countries outside the U.S. such as governmental requirements over merchandise importation, employment, taxation and multi-lingual requirements. Our failure to address such risks in
a timely manner or at all could adversely affect our business and results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Because we use foreign manufacturers, an unaffiliated manufacturer's failure to comply with acceptable labor practices could have an adverse effect on our business.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business is subject to the risks generally associated with purchasing from foreign countries, particularly China, from where
approximately 41% of our merchandise is imported. Some of these risks are foreign governmental regulations, political instability, currency and exchange risks, quotas on the amounts and types of
merchandise which may be imported into the United States and Canada from other countries, pressures from non-governmental organizations, disruptions or delays in shipments and changes in
economic conditions in countries in which our manufacturing sources are located. Recent media scrutiny and well-publicized failures of the safety of a wide range of imported products
manufactured in China may lead consumers to avoid such goods. We cannot predict the effect that such factors will have on our business arrangements with foreign manufacturing sources. If any of these
factors rendered the conduct of business in a particular country undesirable or impractical, or if our current foreign manufacturing sources ceased doing business with us for any reason, our business
could be materially adversely affected. Our business is also subject to the risks associated with changes in U.S. and Canadian legislation and regulations relating to imported apparel products,
including quotas, duties, taxes and other charges or restrictions on imported apparel. Such changes or other changes or restrictions with
regard to China could have a material adverse impact on our business. We cannot predict whether such changes or other charges or restrictions will be imposed upon the importation of our products in
the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
require our independent manufacturers to operate in compliance with applicable laws and our internal requirements. While our purchasing guidelines promote ethical business practices,
we do not control these manufacturers or their labor practices. Any violation of labor or other laws by one of the independent manufacturers we use or any divergence of an independent manufacturer's
labor practices from standards generally accepted as ethical in the United States and Canada could have a material adverse effect on our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We depend on our relationships with unaffiliated manufacturers and independent agents and our inability to maintain these relationships or the failure of these manufacturers
or agents to sustain their business in the current economic environment could adversely affect our business and results of operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities, and therefore, are dependent upon independent third parties for the manufacture
of all of our products. Our products are currently manufactured to our specifications, pursuant to purchase orders, by approximately 175 independent manufacturers located primarily in Asia. In
addition, in Fiscal 2008, we sourced approximately 41% of our merchandise from China. We have no exclusive or long-term contracts with our manufacturers and compete with other companies
for manufacturing facilities. We purchased approximately 14% of our products in Fiscal 2008 through a Hong Kong-based trading company, with whom we have no formal written agreement, using
negotiated purchase orders. We also purchased approximately 25% of our products in Fiscal 2008 through the support of a single agent in Taiwan, which has an exclusive </FONT></P>

manufacturers, the inability to maintain such relationships or to find additional sources to support our current needs and future growth could have a material adverse effect on our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
our trading company, independent agents and principal manufacturers experience negative financial consequences in the current economic environment, the inability to use these sources
or find additional financially stable sources to support our current manufacturing needs and future growth in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We anticipate opening approximately 35 The Children's Place stores during fiscal 2009. Our ability to open and operate new stores
successfully depends on many factors, including, among others, the availability of suitable store locations, the ability to negotiate acceptable lease terms, the ability to timely complete necessary
construction, the ability to successfully integrate new stores into our existing operations, the ability to hire and train store personnel and the ability to recognize and respond to regional and
climate-related differences in customer preferences. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
cannot guarantee that we will achieve our planned expansion on a timely and profitable basis or that we will be able to achieve results similar to those achieved in existing locations
in prior periods. In Fiscal 2008, our total store base grew by 1% compared to 4% during Fiscal 2007, and is anticipated to grow at a rate of approximately 3% in fiscal 2009. Operating margins may also
be adversely affected during periods in which we have incurred expenses in anticipation of new store openings. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
need to continually evaluate the adequacy of our store management and our information and distribution systems to manage our planned expansion. Any failure to successfully and
profitably execute our expansion plans could have a material adverse effect on our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Our success depends upon the continuing service and capabilities of our management team. The failure to retain management could have a material adverse effect on our
business.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;26, 2007, the Board appointed Charles Crovitz, a member of our Board of Directors, to serve as Interim CEO. The
Board of Directors is currently conducting a search for a permanent CEO. Leadership transitions can be inherently difficult to manage and may cause disruption to our business or further turnover in
our workforce or management team. The loss of services of one or more other members of senior management, or the inability to attract additional qualified managers or other personnel, could have a
material adverse effect on our business. We are not protected by any key-man or similar life insurance for any of our executive officers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> An unfavorable result from the informal investigation of the SEC and the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey into our historic stock option granting practices could

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;29, 2006, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC initiated an informal investigation into our historic stock option
practices, as did the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. We have cooperated with these investigations and have briefed both authorities on the results of the Special
Committee's investigation. There have been no developments in these matters since that time. We cannot provide assurance that we will not be subject to adverse publicity, regulatory or criminal fines
or penalties, as well as other sanctions or other contingent liabilities or adverse customer reactions in connection with this matter. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are, and in the future may be, subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of our business. Material pending
litigation and regulatory matters affecting us, and certain risks to our businesses presented by such matters, are discussed under Item&nbsp;3. Legal Proceedings of Part&nbsp;I of this Annual
Report on Form&nbsp;10-K. Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf of various alleged classes of complainants. In certain of these matters, the plaintiffs are seeking large
and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages. Substantial legal liability in these or future legal or regulatory actions could have an adverse affect on us or cause us
reputational harm, which in turn could harm our business prospects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
litigation and regulatory matters are subject to many uncertainties, and given their complexity and scope, their outcome cannot be predicted. Our reserves for litigation and
regulatory matters may prove to be inadequate. It is possible that our results of operations or cash flow in a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by an ultimate
unfavorable resolution of pending litigation and regulatory matters depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. In light of the unpredictability of our litigation
and regulatory matters, it is also possible that in certain cases an ultimate unfavorable resolution of one or more pending litigation or regulatory matters could have a material adverse effect on our
financial position. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our merchandise is shipped directly from manufacturers through freight consolidators to our distribution and fulfillment centers. Our
operating results depend in large part on the orderly operation of our receiving and distribution process, which depends on manufacturers' adherence to shipping schedules and our effective management
of our distribution facilities and capacity. Furthermore, it is possible that events beyond our control, such as a military action, strike, natural disaster or other disruption, could result in delays
in delivery of merchandise to our stores. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We face significant competition in the retail industry, which could impact our ability to compete successfully against existing or future competition.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The children's apparel retail market is highly competitive. We compete in substantially all of our markets with GapKids, babyGap and
Old Navy (each of which is a division of The Gap,&nbsp;Inc.); The Gymboree Corporation; Tween Brands,&nbsp;Inc.;Toys "R" Us,&nbsp;Inc. Babies "R" Us (which is a division of Toys "R"
Us,&nbsp;Inc.); J.C. Penney Company,&nbsp;Inc.; Sears (a division of Sears Holdings Corporation); Kohl's and other department stores, as well as discount stores such as Wal-Mart
Stores,&nbsp;Inc.; Target Corporation; and K-Mart (a division of Sears Holdings Corporation). In addition, our new store-within-a-store shoe store competes with
well-known national retailers such as Stride Rite and Payless as well as smaller shoe retailers. We also compete with a wide variety of specialty stores, other national and regional retail
chains, catalog companies and Internet retailers. One or more of our competitors are present in substantially all of the areas in which we have stores. Many of our competitors are larger than us and
have access to significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. We may not be able to continue to compete successfully against existing or future competition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> An inability to execute our business strategies could have a negative impact on our sales and expenses, and consequently on our results of operations and cash flows.  </I></B></FONT></P>

Fiscal 2008 have been effective thus far, there can be no assurance that they will continue to be effective, or that our strategies for Fiscal 2009 will be effective. If the relocation of our
e-commerce fulfillment center should cause disruptions in our business, if we are unable to realize the desired savings from our cost control initiatives, or if we are not able to maintain
proper levels of inventory, or if our investments in capital expenditures are not beneficial, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approximately 70% of our stores are located in regional malls. If any of our landlords should suffer financial difficulty, it could
render them unable to fulfill their duties under our lease agreements. Such duties include providing a sufficient number of mall co-tenants, common area maintenance, utilities, and payment
of real estate taxes. We have certain remedies under our lease agreements, however, the loss of business that could result if a mall should close or if mall traffic were to significantly decline as a
result of lost mall tenants or improper care of the facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> A material disruption in our information technology systems could adversely affect our business or results of operations and cash flows.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We rely on various information systems to manage our operations and regularly make investments to upgrade, enhance or replace such
systems. Any delays or difficulties in transitioning to these or other new systems, or in integrating these systems with our current systems, or any other disruptions affecting our information
systems, could have a material adverse effect on our business. </FONT></P>

addition, the Board, without further action of the stockholders, is permitted to issue and fix the terms of preferred stock, which may have rights senior to those of the common stock.
Moreover, we are subject to the provisions of Section&nbsp;203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, which would require a two-thirds vote of stockholders for any business
combination (such as a merger or sales of all or substantially all of our assets) between us and an "interested stockholder," unless such transaction is approved by a majority of the disinterested
directors or meets certain other requirements. On February&nbsp;6, 2008, Mr.&nbsp;Dabah submitted a letter to the Board of Directors of the Company requesting that the Board authorize, pursuant to
Section&nbsp;203, Mr.&nbsp;Dabah to enter into one or more agreements with Golden Gate Private Equity,&nbsp;Inc. for the purpose of making a proposal to the Board to acquire our outstanding
stock. The Board waived the provisions of Section&nbsp;203 for such purposes and in addition, consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Board engaged an investment banking firm to act as its
financial advisor in undertaking a review of strategic alternatives to improve operations and enhance shareholder value. This review was concluded in February 2009 with no sale of our company having
been made. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We are sensitive to economic, regional and other business conditions, which could adversely affect our future operating results and cash flows.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business is sensitive to customers' spending patterns which are subject to prevailing regional and national economic conditions
such as consumer confidence, recession, interest rates, energy prices and taxation. The current difficult economic climate has had, and is expected to continue to have, a negative impact on consumer
confidence and spending, which could result in lower sales at our stores. Some of the factors influencing this deterioration in consumer spending include fluctuating interest rates and credit
availability, fluctuating fuel and other energy costs, fluctuating commodity prices, higher levels of unemployment, higher consumer debt levels, reductions in net worth based on market declines, home
foreclosures and reductions in home values, and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment. Consumer purchases of discretionary items, including our merchandise, generally,
decline during periods where disposable income is adversely affected or there is economic uncertainty, and this could adversely impact our results of operations. We are, and will continue to be,
susceptible to changes in national and regional economic conditions, weather conditions, demographics, hourly wage legislation, consumer preferences and other regional factors. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> A privacy breach could adversely affect our business.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The protection of customer, employee, and company data is critical. The regulatory environment surrounding information security and
privacy is demanding, with the frequent imposition of new and changing requirements. In addition, customers have a high expectation that we will adequately protect their personal information. A
significant breach of customer, employee, or company data could damage our reputation and result in lost sales, fines, or lawsuits. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite
our considerable efforts and technology to secure our computer network, security could be compromised, confidential information, such as customer credit card numbers, could be
misappropriated, or system disruptions could occur. We are currently in the process of upgrading our systems and procedures to meet the Payment Card Industry ("PCI") data security standards, which
require periodic audits by independent third parties to assess compliance. Failure to comply with the security requirements or rectify a security issue may result in fines and the imposition of
restrictions on our ability to accept payment cards. There can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy PCI security standards. In addition, PCI is controlled by a limited number of vendors who
have the ability to impose changes in PCI's fee structure and operational requirements on us without negotiation. Such </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Our profitability could be adversely affected if we are unable to successfully negotiate acceptable lease terms.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We generally lease our stores for an initial term of ten years. Our operating results and cash flows could be adversely affected if we
are unable to continue to negotiate acceptable lease and renewal terms. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Because of conditions impacting our quarterly results of operations, including seasonality and other factors, our quarterly results fluctuate.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As is the case with many retailers, we experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and net income. Our net sales and net income
are generally weakest during the first two fiscal quarters, and are lower during the second fiscal quarter than during the first fiscal quarter. For
example, in Fiscal 2008, 24%, 21%, 28% and 27% of our consolidated net sales occurred in the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. In most fiscal years, we experience operating
losses in the second quarter, while in Fiscal 2008 we experienced minimal income in the second quarter. It is reasonably possible that we will experience second quarter losses in future periods. It is
also possible that we could experience losses in other quarters. Our first quarter results are heavily dependent upon sales during the period leading up to the Easter holiday. Our third quarter
results are heavily dependent upon back-to-school sales. Our fourth quarter results are heavily dependent upon sales during the holiday season. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of a variety of other factors, including overall macro-economic conditions, the
timing of new store openings and related pre-opening and other start-up costs, net sales contributed by new stores, increases or decreases in comparable store sales, weather
conditions, shifts in the timing of certain holidays, changes in our merchandise mix and pricing strategy. Any failure by us to meet our business plans for, in particular, the third and fourth quarter
of any fiscal year, as we experienced in Fiscal 2007, would have a material adverse effect on our earnings, which in all likelihood would not be offset by satisfactory results achieved in other
quarters of the same fiscal year. In addition, because our expense levels are based in part on expectations of future sales levels, a shortfall in expected sales could result in a disproportionate
decrease in our net income. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We may be unable to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that our trademarks and service marks are important to our success and our competitive position due to their name
recognition with our customers. We devote substantial resources to the establishment and protection of our trademarks and service marks on a worldwide basis. In order to more effectively protect them
from infringement and to defend against claims of infringement, the marks are owned by a separate subsidiary whose purpose is to maintain and manage existing and future marks, thereby increasing their
value to us. We are not aware of any material claims of infringement or material challenges to our right to use any of our trademarks and service marks in the United States. Nevertheless, the actions
we have taken to establish and protect our trademarks and service marks may not be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our
products as a violation of the trademarks, service marks and proprietary rights of others. Also, others may assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours and we
may not be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the
laws of the United States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are dependent upon the continued popularity of malls as shopping destinations and the ability of mall anchor tenants and other
attractions to generate customer traffic in the malls where our stores are located. A major terrorist act that decreases the level of mall traffic or other shopping traffic could have a material

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business is subject to a wide array of laws and regulations. Significant legislative changes, such as the proposed Employee Free
Choice Act ("EFCA"), that impact our relationship with our workforce could increase our expenses and adversely affect our operations. None of our employees are currently represented by a collective
bargaining agreement. However, from time to time there have been efforts to organize our employees at various locations. There is no assurance that our employees will not unionize in the future,
particularly if legislation is passed that facilitates unionization such as the EFCA. Changes in other regulatory areas, such as consumer credit, privacy and information security, product safety or
environmental protection, among others, could cause our expenses to increase. In addition, if we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, particularly wage and hour laws, we could be
subject to legal risk, including government enforcement action and class action civil litigation, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Changes in tax laws, the interpretation of
existing laws, or our failure to sustain our reporting positions on examination could adversely affect our effective tax rate. </FONT></P>

cash balances and working capital is located in foreign jurisdictions, we could have a liquidity issue in one country while adequate liquidity exists in other countries. If such a liquidity need were
to arise in our domestic operations, there is no guarantee that we would have the ability to make the appropriate intercompany transfer from our foreign subsidiaries </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B><I>Although our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act
Rules&nbsp;13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), was effective as of January&nbsp;31, 2009, we have previously identified material weaknesses in our internal controls. If we are unable
to maintain appropriate internal controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations on a timely basis, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our
operating results, limit our access to credit facilities necessary to fund our operations, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial
information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.</I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
management evaluated the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January&nbsp;31, 2009 and determined that it was effective. However,
management reported three material weaknesses and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of February&nbsp;3, 2007 in controls over the granting of stock
options; controls to ensure adherence to certain policies and procedures surrounding our control environment; and controls over the period-end financial close and reporting process. A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual
or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have taken remedial actions to address the material weaknesses identified as of February&nbsp;3, 2007 and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of
January&nbsp;31, 2009 was effective. However, if additional material weaknesses in our internal control are discovered in the future, we may fail to meet our future reporting obligations on a timely
basis, our financial statements may contain material misstatements, our operating results may be harmed, our access to credit facilities could be limited and we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny
and sanctions and to litigation. Any failure to address any additional material weaknesses in our internal control could also adversely affect the results of future management evaluations regarding
the effectiveness of our "internal control over financial reporting" that are required under Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Internal control deficiencies could also cause
investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> The creditors of Hoop could attempt to make claims against the Company, such as claims under piercing the corporate veil, alter ego, control person or related theories. If
successful, these claims would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Though neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries other than Hoop has commenced a Chapter&nbsp;11 proceeding, it is possible
that a creditor of Hoop could attempt to make claims against the Company, including under piercing the corporate veil, alter ego, control person or other related theories. Factors that are generally
considered in determining whether the parent company is an "alter ego" of the subsidiary include: the failure to follow corporate formalities; the day-to-day control of the
subsidiary by the parent; inadequate capitalization of the subsidiary; overlap in directors, officers and personnel; commingling of assets; and use of the subsidiary for unjust or fraudulent purposes.
A court could resolve the issue in a manner adverse to us and make the Company's assets available to satisfy obligations of Hoop. If a court were to allow such claims against the Company, we could be
required to devote considerable resources to defending them. If these claims were determined adversely to us, a judgment could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make payments on
our obligations, and could ultimately cause us to seek to restructure under the protection of the bankruptcy laws. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The operation of our online business depends on our ability to maintain the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our order-taking
and fulfillment operations for our online stores. Disruptions or slowdowns in these areas could result from disruptions in telephone service or power outages, inadequate system capacity, system
issues, computer viruses, human error, changes in programming, natural disasters or adverse weather conditions. Our online business is generally vulnerable to additional risks and uncertainties
associated with the Internet, including changes in required technology and other technical failures as well as changes in applicable federal and state regulation, security breaches, and consumer
privacy concerns. Problems in any of these areas could result in a reduction in sales, increased selling, general and administrative expenses and damage to our reputation and brand. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Tax Matters could impact the Company's Results of Operations and Financial Condition.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Our provision for income taxes and cash tax
liability in the future could be adversely affected by numerous factors including, but not limited to, income before taxes being lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory tax rates and
higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or
interpretations thereof, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition in future periods. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by
the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income
taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these continuous examinations will not have an adverse effect on our provision for income taxes and cash tax liability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On January&nbsp;27, 2009, we received a comment letter (the "Letter") from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
regarding our Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended February&nbsp;2, 2008 filed April&nbsp;2, 2008, our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule&nbsp;14A filed May&nbsp;20,
2008, and our Form&nbsp;10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended November&nbsp;1, 2008 filed December&nbsp;9, 2008. On February&nbsp;26, 2009, we submitted to the Securities and Exchange
Commission our responses to the comments in the Letter. On March&nbsp;25, 2009, we received a second letter from the
Staff containing follow-up comments and questions to certain of our responses (the "Second Letter"). On April&nbsp;1, 2009, prior to our filing this 10-K, we responded to the
Second Letter. All of our proposed disclosure changes included in our responses, where appropriate, have been incorporated into this filing. We do not believe that any of the unresolved Staff's
comments would cause a material change to our financial statements, should the Staff, upon review of our responses, have a different conclusion than ours.  </FONT></P>

minimums. We anticipate that we will be able to extend those leases on satisfactory terms as they expire, or relocate to desirable locations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;29, 2006, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC informed us that it had initiated an informal investigation into
our stock option granting practices. In addition, the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey has initiated an investigation into our option granting practices. We have cooperated
with these investigations and have briefed both authorities on the results of an investigation conducted by a sub-committee appointed by the Board of Directors. There have been no
developments in these matters since that time. The Company has not accrued any losses relating to these matters. There can be no assurances that we will not incur any costs or fines, but it is not
believed that resolution of these matters would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;17, 2007, a stockholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey against certain current members of the Board of
Directors and certain current and former senior executives. The Company has been named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of our current and former
officers and directors (i)&nbsp;breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders and were unjustly enriched by improperly backdating certain grants of stock options to officers
and directors of the Company, (ii)&nbsp;caused the Company to file false and misleading reports with the SEC, (iii)&nbsp;violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and
common law, (iv)&nbsp;caused the Company to issue false and misleading </FONT></P>

statements and (v)&nbsp;were negligent and abdicated their responsibilities to the Company and its stockholders. The complaint sought money damages, an accounting by the defendants for the
proceeds of sales of any allegedly backdated stock options, and the costs and disbursements of the lawsuit, as well as equitable relief. The plaintiff filed amended complaints adding, among other
things, a claim for securities fraud under SEC rule&nbsp;10b-5 and additional defendants and claims. In May 2008, the parties entered into a stipulation settlement to resolve this
action, which settlement was approved by the court on July&nbsp;21, 2008. The only monetary portion of the settlement was to pay $0.7&nbsp;million of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses
to plaintiffs' counsel. The majority of this cost was covered by our insurance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
September&nbsp;21, 2007 a second stockholder class action was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its current
and former senior executives. The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of the Company's current and
former officers made statements to the investing public which misrepresented material facts about the business and operations of the Company, or omitted to state material facts required in order for
the statements made by them not to be misleading, causing the price of the Company's stock to be artificially inflated in violation of provisions of the Exchange Act, as amended. It alleges that
subsequent disclosures establish the misleading nature of these earlier disclosures. The complaint seeks monetary damages plus interest as well as costs and disbursements of the lawsuit. On
October&nbsp;10, 2007, a third stockholder class action was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, against the Company and certain of its current and former senior
executives. This complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of the Company's current and former officers made statements to the investing public which misrepresented material facts about the
business and operations of the Company, or omitted to state material facts required in order for the statements made by them not to be misleading, thereby causing the price of the Company's stock to
be artificially inflated in violation of provisions of the Exchange Act, as amended. According to this complaint, subsequent disclosures establish the misleading nature of these earlier disclosures.
This complaint seeks, among other relief, compensatory damages plus interest, and costs and expenses of the lawsuit, including counsel and expert fees. These two actions have been consolidated and the
plaintiff filed a consolidated amended class action complaint on February&nbsp;28, 2008. The Company's motion to dismiss was denied by the court on July&nbsp;18, 2008. The outcome of this
litigation is uncertain and no estimate can be made at this time of any potential loss or range of loss. While we believe there are valid defenses to the claims and we will defend ourselves
vigorously, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of this litigation. The litigation could distract our management and directors from the Company's affairs, the costs and expenses of the
litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and an unfavorable outcome could adversely affect the reputation of the
Company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
or about July&nbsp;12, 2006, Joy Fong, a former Disney Store manager in the San Francisco district, filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary Hoop Retail
Stores,&nbsp;LLC in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. The lawsuit alleges violations of the California Labor Code and California Business and Professions Code and sought class
action certification on behalf of Ms.&nbsp;Fong and other individuals similarly situated. We filed our answer on August&nbsp;11, 2006 denying any and all liability, and on January&nbsp;14, 2007,
Ms.&nbsp;Fong filed an amended complaint, adding Disney as a defendant. Effective as of March&nbsp;26, 2008, the prosecution of this lawsuit against Hoop was stayed under the automatic stay
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code by reason of Hoop's petition for relief filed that same day. The case is currently proceeding against the other defendants and, on December&nbsp;18, 2008, the
Court granted the plaintiff's motion for class certification on the misclassification claim. The outcome of this litigation is uncertain; while we believe there are valid defenses to the claims, we
cannot conclude as to the amount of loss or range of loss that might be incurred as a result of this matter, however, we do not believe that such losses could have a material effect our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>

Northern District of Ohio on behalf of herself and other similarly situated individuals. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Fair and

have never paid dividends on our common stock. Our Board presently intends to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and the expansion of the Company. Our credit
facilities prohibit or limit significantly any payment of dividends and limit the amount of purchases of our common stock. Pursuant to restrictions imposed by our equity plan during
black-out periods, we withhold and retire shares of vesting stock awards in exchange for payments to satisfy the withholding tax requirements of certain recipients. Our payment of the
withholding taxes in exchange for the shares constitutes a purchase of our common stock. During Fiscal 2008, we retired approximately 27,000 shares and made related withholding tax payments of
approximately $0.6&nbsp;million. Aside from this activity, we do not have a share buyback program. Any determination in the future to pay dividends or purchase any of our common stock under a share
buyback program will depend upon our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, covenants in our credit facilities and any future debt instruments and such other factors as
the Board deems appropriate at the time. </FONT></P>

upon approval of our 2005 Equity Plan by our stockholders, we agreed not to make any further grants under our 1996 Stock Option Plan and 1997

deferred stock awards and approximately 141,000 shares issuable upon vesting of performance awards, assuming the performance awards are earned at 100%. If it is estimated that the performance awards
will be earned at 200%, the amount of securities remaining available for future issuances under equity compensation plans, excluding outstanding stock options would be 959,871. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a leading specialty retailer of children's apparel and accessories. We design, contract to manufacture and sell
high-quality, value-priced merchandise under our proprietary "The Children's Place" brand name. Our objective is to deliver high-quality merchandise at value prices. As of
January&nbsp;31, 2009, we owned and operated 917 stores across North America and an online store at </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>www.childrensplace.com.</I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After a thorough review of the Disney Store business, its potential earnings growth, its capital needs and its ability to fund such
needs from its own resources, the Company announced on March&nbsp;20, 2008 that it had decided to exit the Disney Store business. Our subsidiaries that operated the Disney Store business are
referred to herein interchangeably and collectively as "Hoop". </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After
assessing the above factors and considering Hoop's liquidity, Hoop's Board of Directors determined that the best way to complete an orderly wind-down of Hoop's affairs
was for Hoop to seek relief under Chapter&nbsp;11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). On March&nbsp;26, 2008, Hoop Holdings,&nbsp;LLC, Hoop Retail Stores,&nbsp;LLC

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>voluntary
petition for relief under Chapter&nbsp;11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "U.S. Bankruptcy Court") (Case
Nos.&nbsp;08-10544, 08-10545, and 08-10546, respectively, the "Cases"). On March&nbsp;27, 2008, Hoop Canada,&nbsp;Inc. filed for protection pursuant to the
Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) ("Canadian Bankruptcy Court")
(Court File No.&nbsp;08-CL-7453, and together with the Cases, the "Filings"). Each of the foregoing Hoop entities are referred to collectively herein as the "Hoop Entities." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After
receiving the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Canadian Bankruptcy Court, on April&nbsp;30, 2008, Hoop transferred the Disney Store business in the U.S. and Canada
and a substantial portion of the Disney Store assets to affiliates of Disney in an asset sale (the "Sale"), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated as of April&nbsp;3, 2008 among the Hoop
Entities and affiliates of Disney (the "Sale Agreement") and section&nbsp;363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and a similar provision under the CCAA.) Upon closing, affiliates of Disney paid approximately
$61.6&nbsp;million, including certain post-closing adjustments, for the acquired assets of the Disney Store business. The proceeds received from the Sale are included in the assets of
the Hoop Entities' for distribution to their creditors pursuant to the plan of reorganization that was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on December&nbsp;15, 2008 (the "Plan"). A similar plan
was approved by the Canadian Bankruptcy Court. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;According
to the terms of the Sale, Hoop transferred 217 Disney Stores to affiliates of Disney and granted such affiliates the right to operate and wind-down the affairs of
the remaining stores. The lease obligations associated with the stores that were not sold were rejected and resulting damage claims were administered pursuant to the Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April 2008, the Company entered into a settlement and release of claims agreement with Hoop and the official committee of unsecured creditors in the Cases (the "Settlement
Agreement"), which was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on April&nbsp;29, 2008. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to provide transitional services and to forgive all
pre- and post-bankruptcy petition claims against the Hoop Entities. Such claims included intercompany charges for shared services of approximately $24.9&nbsp;million, a
capital contribution made on March&nbsp;18, 2008 of approximately $8.3&nbsp;million, payment of severance and other employee costs for the Company's employees servicing Hoop of approximately
$7.9&nbsp;million, and $7.0&nbsp;million of professional fees and other costs the Company has incurred during the Cases, as well as claims that might be asserted against the Company in the Cases.
As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company has paid approximately $44&nbsp;million related to the Settlement Agreement, and has remaining accruals of $4.1&nbsp;million, primarily for severance,
legal claims and related costs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
December&nbsp;15, 2008, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the Plan, pursuant to which the Hoop Entities that were U.S. debtors were dissolved and all assets and liabilities were
transferred to a trust (the "Trust"), which is overseen by a trustee appointed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court under the Plan and a trust oversight committee. Hoop Canada,&nbsp;Inc., which currently
remains under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Bankruptcy Court, has not yet been legally dissolved but is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust and is effectively part of the Trust's assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S.&nbsp;GAAP"), the Disney Store business has been segregated from continuing operations and
included in "Discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the consolidated statements of operations. In discontinued operations, the Company has reversed its allocation of shared services to the Disney
Stores and has charged
discontinued operations with the administrative and distribution expenses that were directly attributable to the Disney Stores. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
effectiveness of the Plan, the Company has deconsolidated all Hoop Entities. As a result, all intercompany balances, including investments in subsidiaries, have been eliminated, and
the net liabilities in excess of assets transferred have resulted in a $25.5&nbsp;million gain on the relief of </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales in Fiscal 2008 increased $110.0&nbsp;million, or 7%, to $1.630&nbsp;billion, compared to net sales of
$1.520&nbsp;billion reported in Fiscal 2007. During Fiscal 2008, our comparable store sales increased 2% compared to a 3% increase in Fiscal 2007. We define comparable store sales as net sales from
stores that have been open at least 14 full months and that have not been substantially remodeled during that time. In Fiscal 2008, we opened 26 stores, remodeled 15 stores and closed 13 stores. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based
on information from NPD Group, a consumer and retail market research firm, we believe our market share of children's apparel for The Children's Place brand increased to 3.9% in

addition to the translation impact noted above, the gross margin of our Canadian subsidiary is also impacted by its purchases of inventory in U.S. Dollars. The effect of these
purchases on Fiscal 2008 is approximately $1.1&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
Fiscal 2008, our gross margin (gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales) from continuing operations improved by approximately 200 basis points due primarily to reduced
markdowns resulting from a reduction in inventory levels, an improved merchandise assortment and a better balance of product on hand, partially offset by an increase in shrink levels. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
July 2008, we entered into an $85&nbsp;million term loan agreement and a new credit facility agreement. These new borrowing arrangements provide us with additional working capital

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.&nbsp;GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from our estimates. The accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the
financial results include the following: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventory Valuation</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&#151;Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market, using the retail inventory method. Under the retail
inventory method, the valuation of inventories at cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio, for each merchandise department, to
the retail value of inventories. An initial mark-up is applied to inventory at cost to establish a cost-to-retail ratio. Permanent markdowns, when taken, reduce
both the retail and cost components of inventory on hand so as to maintain the already established cost-to-retail relationship. At any one time, inventories include items that
have been marked down to our best estimate of the lower of their cost or fair market value and an estimate of our inventory shrinkage. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
base our decision to mark down merchandise upon its current rate of sale, the season, and the age and sell-through of the item. We estimate sell-through rates

Markdown reserves are assessed and adjusted each quarter based on current sales trends and their resulting impact on forecasts. Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to gauge
the fashion taste of our customers, and to provide a well-balanced merchandise assortment that satisfies customer demand. Throughout the year, we review our inventory in order to identify
slow moving items and generally use markdowns to clear them. Any inability to provide the proper quantity of appropriate merchandise in a timely manner, or to correctly estimate the
sell-through rate, could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our historical estimates have not differed materially from actual results; however, a 10%
difference in our markdown reserve as of January&nbsp;31, 2009 would have impacted net income by approximately $0.8&nbsp;million. Our markdown reserve balance at January&nbsp;31, 2009 and
February&nbsp;2, 2008 was $13.1&nbsp;million and $11.4&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
we adjust our inventory based upon an annual physical inventory, which is taken during the last quarter of the fiscal year. Based on the results of our historical physical
inventories, an estimated shrink rate is used for each successive quarter until the next annual physical inventory, or sooner if facts or circumstances should indicate differently. A 100 basis point
difference in our shrinkage rate at retail could impact each quarter's net income by approximately $0.7&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

method. The provisions of SFAS&nbsp;123(R) apply to new stock options and stock options outstanding, but not yet vested, as of the effective date. Prior to January&nbsp;29, 2006, we accounted for
stock option grants under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB&nbsp;25 and related interpretations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During Fiscal 2008, we ceased issuing stock options in favor of deferred stock awards. The fair value of all outstanding stock options
was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation, which requires extensive use of accounting judgment and financial estimates, including estimates of how
long employees will hold their vested stock options before exercise, the estimated volatility of our common stock over the expected term, and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to the
completion of vesting requirements. All exercise prices were based on the average of the high and low of the selling price of our common stock on the grant date. Application of other assumptions could
have resulted in significantly different estimates of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related expense recognized
in our financial statements. Additionally, we estimate a forfeiture rate for those awards not expected to vest. While actual forfeitures could vary significantly from those estimated, a 10% difference
would not have a material impact on our net income. </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We grant restricted shares and deferred stock awards to our employees and non-employee directors and performance awards to
certain key members of management. The fair value of these awards is based on the average of the high and low selling price of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized
ratably over the related service period reduced for estimated forfeitures of those awards not expected to vest due to employee turnover. While actual forfeitures could vary significantly from those
estimated, a 10% difference would impact our net income by $0.5&nbsp;million. In addition, the number of performance shares earned is dependant upon our operating results over a specified time
period. The expense for performance shares is based on an estimate of the number of shares we think will vest based on our earnings-to-date plus our estimate of future earnings
for the performance period. To the extent that actual operating results differ from our estimates, future performance share compensation expense could be materially different. The impact on our equity
compensation expense resulting from a 10% change in our projected future earnings would not have a material impact on our net income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insurance and Self-Insurance Liabilities</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&#151;Based on our assessment of risk and cost efficiency, we self-insure as well as
purchase insurance policies to provide for workers' compensation, general liability, and property losses, as well as directors' and officers' liability, vehicle liability and employee medical
benefits. We estimate risks and record a liability based upon historical claim experience, insurance deductibles, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. These estimates include inherent
uncertainties due to the variability of the factors involved, including type of injury or claim, required services by the providers, healing time, age of claimant, case management costs, location of
the claimant, and governmental regulations. While we believe that our risk assessments are appropriate, these uncertainties or a deviation in future claims trends from recent historical patterns could
result in our recording additional or reduced expenses, which may be material to our results of operations. Our historical estimates have not differed materially from actual results; however, a 10%
difference in our insurance reserves as of January&nbsp;31, 2009 would have impacted net income by approximately $0.8&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Impairment of Long-Lived Assets</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&#151;We periodically review our long-lived assets when events indicate that their carrying value
may not be recoverable. Such events include a history trend or projected trend of cash flow losses or a future expectation that we will sell or dispose of an asset significantly before the end of its
previously estimated useful life. In reviewing for impairment, we group our long-lived assets at the lowest possible level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the
cash flows of other assets and liabilities. In
that regard, we group our assets into two categories; corporate-related and store-related. Corporate-related assets consist of those associated with our corporate offices, distribution centers and our
information technology systems. Store-related assets consist of leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, certain computer equipment and lease related assets associated with individual stores. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
store-related assets, we review all stores that have been open for at least two years, or sooner if circumstances should dictate, on at least an annual basis. For each of these
stores, we project future cash flows over the remaining life of the lease and compare the total undiscounted cash flows to the net book value of the related long-lived assets. If the
undiscounted cash flows are less than the related net book value of the long-lived assets, they are written down to their fair market value. We primarily determine fair market value to be
the discounted future cash flows associated with those assets. In evaluating future cash flows, we consider external and internal factors. External factors comprise the local environment in which the
store resides, including mall traffic, competition, and their effect on sales trends. Internal factors include our ability to gauge the fashion taste of our customers, control variable costs such as
cost of sales and payroll, and in certain cases, our ability to renegotiate lease costs. Historically, less than 2% of our stores required impairment charges in any one year. If external factors
should change unfavorably, if actual sales should differ from our projections, or if our ability to control costs is insufficient to sustain the necessary cash flows, future impairment charges could
be material. At January&nbsp;31, 2009, the average net book value per store was $0.2&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&#151;We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS No.&nbsp;109, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting
for Income Taxes.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances we consider projected future taxable income and the availability of tax planning strategies. If, in the
future we determine that we would not be able to realize our recorded deferred tax assets, an increase in the valuation allowance would decrease earnings in the period in which such determination is
made. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior
to 2007 the Company determined its tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;5, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for Contingencies</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. The Company
recorded estimated tax liabilities to the extent the contingencies were probable and could be reasonably estimated. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS&nbsp;157") which provides guidance for using
fair value to measure assets and liabilities, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S.&nbsp;GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS&nbsp;157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years, with the exception of all non-financial assets and
liabilities which will be effective for years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS&nbsp;157 did not have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheets and results of
operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities"&#151;Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No.&nbsp;115 ("SFAS&nbsp;159"). This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions in SFAS&nbsp;159 are
elective; however, the amendment to SFAS&nbsp;115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and
trading securities. The fair value option established by SFAS&nbsp;159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity will
report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each
subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a)&nbsp;may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method;
(b)&nbsp;is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c)&nbsp;is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS&nbsp;159 is effective as of the beginning
of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November&nbsp;15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheets and results of operations. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS&nbsp;141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No.&nbsp;141. SFAS&nbsp;141R
establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree,
recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business or a gain from a bargain purchase and determines what information to disclose to enable the users of the financial statements to evaluate
the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS&nbsp;141R shall be applied prospectively to business combinations with acquisition dates on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period in which it is initially applied. SFAS&nbsp;141R is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December&nbsp;15, 2008. The Company does not expect SFAS&nbsp;141R to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. </FONT></P>

primarily evaluate the results of our operations as a percentage of net sales rather than in terms of absolute dollar increases or decreases by analyzing the year over year change in our business
expressed as a percentage of net sales (i.e.,&nbsp;"basis points"). For example, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 260 basis points to 28.9% of net sales
during the fiscal year ended January&nbsp;31, 2009 from 31.5% during the fiscal year ended February&nbsp;2, 2008. Accordingly, to the extent that our sales have increased at a faster rate than our
costs (i.e.,&nbsp;"leveraging"), the more efficiently we have utilized the investments we have made in our business. Conversely, if our costs grow at a faster pace than our sales
(i.e.,&nbsp;"de-leveraging"), we have less efficiently utilized the investments we have made in our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales increased $110.0&nbsp;million, or 7%, to $1.630&nbsp;billion during Fiscal 2008 from $1.520&nbsp;billion during Fiscal
2007. Comparable store sales increased 2% compared to a 3% comparable store sales increase in Fiscal 2007 and contributed $29.0&nbsp;million to our net sales increase in Fiscal 2008.
E-commerce sales increased $34.4&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2008. Net sales from our new stores, as well as other stores that did not qualify as comparable stores, increased our net
sales by $46.6&nbsp;million. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates had the effect of reducing our Fiscal 2008 net sales by $7.2&nbsp;million compared to Fiscal 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
2% comparable store sales increase was primarily the result of a 2% increase in our average dollar transaction size while the number of units per transaction remained constant. Our
higher dollar transaction size was driven primarily by higher average retail prices, reflecting the decreased markdowns during Fiscal 2008. During Fiscal 2008, we achieved our strongest comparable
store sales increases in the Metro NY, Northeast, Mid Atlantic and Southwest regions, partially offset by decreases in comparable store sales in the West and Canada. The decrease in Canada's
comparable store sales </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>was
driven primarily by a lower foreign exchange rate in Fiscal 2008. Excluding the effect of foreign currency, Canada's comparable store sales were flat. By department, Accessories and Boys reported
the strongest comparable store sales increases, partially offset by flat comparable store sales in Girls and a low to mid single-digit comparable store sales decrease in the Newborn department. We
reported high single-digit comparable store sales in our outlets and street stores, while comparable store sales in our mall locations were flat. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
Fiscal 2008, we opened 26 The Children's Place stores, which included 19 stores in the United States, 6 stores in Canada and 1&nbsp;store in Puerto Rico. We closed 13 The
Children's Place stores in Fiscal 2008, all in the United States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross
profit increased by $75.7&nbsp;million to $671.8&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2008 from $596.1&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2007. Gross margin increased 200 basis points to 41.2%
during Fiscal 2008 from 39.2% during Fiscal 2007. This increase in gross margin resulted primarily from lower markdowns of approximately 230 basis points, lower production, design, buying and other
internal costs of approximately 30 basis points, partially offset by a lower initial markup of approximately 10 basis points, increased inventory shrinkage of approximately 20 basis points, and higher
distribution costs of approximately 30 basis points. Decreased markdowns resulted from lower inventory levels, an improved merchandise assortment and a better balance of product on hand. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased $7.8&nbsp;million to $471.3&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2008 from $479.1&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2007. As a percentage of
net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 260 basis points to 28.9% during Fiscal 2008 from 31.5% during Fiscal 2007. This decrease benefited from the following

expense, net, was $4.9&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2008, compared to $0.4&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2007. In July 2008, we closed on an $85&nbsp;million term loan, and as a
result, our weighted average debt outstanding increased approximately $19.6&nbsp;million. In addition, our weighted average effective interest rate for Fiscal 2008 was approximately 9.7% compared to
approximately 7.2% in Fiscal 2007. Other factors contributing to the increase in interest expense include: $0.6&nbsp;million of capitalized interest in Fiscal 2007 versus none in Fiscal 2008, a
$0.5&nbsp;million increase in amortization of deferred financing costs, and a $0.6&nbsp;million decrease in interest income resulting primarily from the sale of all of our short term investments
during Fiscal 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
provision for income taxes was approximately $43.5&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2008, compared to $18.9&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2007, and our effective tax rate was 37.1% in
Fiscal 2008, compared to 65.5% in Fiscal 2007. The increase in the provision for income taxes was due primarily to the $88.6&nbsp;million increase in income from continuing operations before income
taxes. The decrease in the effective tax rate resulted primarily from a discretionary item in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2007; we provided $6.1&nbsp;million of U.S. taxes related to a cash
dividend of approximately $45&nbsp;million from our Hong Kong subsidiary. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income
from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in Fiscal 2008 was approximately $8.4&nbsp;million compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of
approximately $69.5&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2007. The income in Fiscal 2008 is due primarily to a $22.2&nbsp;million pre-tax gain on the Sale, and a $25.5&nbsp;million gain on the
relief of indebtedness of the Hoop Entities. The loss in Fiscal 2007 includes a pre-tax $80.3&nbsp;million impairment charge taken on the Disney Store assets. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales increased $114.9&nbsp;million, or 8%, to $1.520&nbsp;billion during Fiscal 2007 from $1.405&nbsp;billion during Fiscal
2006. Since Fiscal 2006 was a 53-week year, with the extra week contributing approximately $21.4&nbsp;million in net sales, Fiscal 2007 net sales increased approximately
$136.3&nbsp;million on a comparable 52-week basis. Comparable store sales increased 3% compared to a 10% comparable store sales increase in Fiscal 2006 and contributed
$32.4&nbsp;million to our net sales increase in Fiscal 2007. Net sales from our new stores, as well as other stores that did not qualify as comparable stores, increased our sales by
$104.9&nbsp;million. Our closed stores partially offset our consolidated sales increase by approximately $1.0&nbsp;million. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates had the effect of increasing our
Fiscal 2007 net sales by $14.6&nbsp;million compared to Fiscal 2006. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
3% comparable store sales increase was primarily the result of a 4% increase in the number of comparable store sales transactions, partially offset by a 1% decrease in our average
dollar transaction size. Our lower dollar transaction size was driven primarily by lower average retail prices, reflecting the increased markdowns we took to clear inventory, offset partially by an
increase in the number of items sold in each transaction. During Fiscal 2007, we achieved our strongest comparable store sales increases at The Children's Place business in the Metro NY, Canada, Rocky
Mountain and Southwest regions, partially offset by low single-digit comparable store sales decreases in the Southeast and Midwest. By department, Accessories and Boys reported the strongest
comparable store sales increases, partially offset by low single-digit comparable store sales decreases in the Girls and Newborn departments. All store types reported comparable store sales increases,
except for our "C" mall stores. </FONT></P>

Fiscal 2007, we recorded asset impairment charges of $16.6&nbsp;million, or approximately 1.1% of net sales, compared to asset impairment charges of $0.4&nbsp;million during
Fiscal 2006. During Fiscal 2007, our $16.6&nbsp;million in asset impairment charges were comprised of $14.8&nbsp;million in impairments related to our decision to cease construction of our Emerson
Lane administrative office building and $1.8&nbsp;million of impairment related to 12 underperforming The Children's Place stores. The impairment of the Emerson Lane administrative office reflects
our decision to cease construction on the project and to seek a sublease for this space. During Fiscal 2006, our asset impairment charges of $0.4&nbsp;million related to the write down of leasehold
improvements and fixtures in five underperforming The Children's Place stores. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
Fiscal 2007, we recorded other costs of $5.9&nbsp;million, or 0.4% of net sales related to our decision to exit the Emerson Lane administrative office lease. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Depreciation
and amortization was $65.3&nbsp;million or 4.3% of net sales, during Fiscal 2007, compared to $58.0&nbsp;million, or 4.1% of net sales, during Fiscal 2006. The
$7.3&nbsp;million increase in depreciation expense in Fiscal 2007 was due primarily to our new stores and remodels, as well as investments made in our distribution facilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest
expense, net, was $0.4&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2007 compared to interest income, net of $2.7&nbsp;million, or 0.2% of net sales, in Fiscal 2006. During Fiscal 2007, we
utilized our cash investments and borrowed under our credit facility to fund our working capital needs. During Fiscal 2006, we generated net interest income, due to our net cash investment position
and the utilization of our credit facilities only to support our letter of credit needs. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
income tax provision was approximately $18.9&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2007 compared to $34.7&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2006. Our effective tax rate was 65.5% during Fiscal
2007 compared to 29.2% in Fiscal 2006. During Fiscal 2007, we received a cash dividend of approximately $45&nbsp;million from our Hong Kong subsidiary. Since we are no longer permanently reinvested
in the earnings of our Hong Kong subsidiary, we were required to provide U.S. taxes on our earnings in Hong Kong. Our Fiscal 2007 tax provision was increased by approximately $6.1&nbsp;million due
to this transaction. The reduction in our effective tax rate in Fiscal 2006 primarily resulted from a one time cash dividend from some of our Canadian subsidiaries, which also brought foreign tax
credits that can be utilized to reduce </FONT></P>

our discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 were negatively impacted by late merchandise deliveries and a lack of customer enthusiasm for our toy offering

29 of our Mickey prototype stores and $7.1&nbsp;million in disposals of property and equipment resulting primarily from our decisions not to proceed with a New York City Disney Store location and
infrastructure investments that were written off in conjunction with our decision to form an e-commerce alliance with a Disney affiliate in which select Disney Store merchandise is sold on
the disneyshopping.com website. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our working capital needs follow a seasonal pattern, peaking during the third quarter when inventory is purchased for the

purchases. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of January&nbsp;31, 2009, we had no short-term borrowings under our credit facility and had $85&nbsp;million in borrowings under a five year term loan which we entered
into at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008 (the "Note Purchase Agreement"). Concurrent with the term loan, we also replaced our then existing credit facility with the 2008 Credit Agreement
(as defined below), which provides for borrowings up to $200&nbsp;million, to increase our liquidity. We expect to be able to meet our capital requirements principally by using the proceeds from our
term loan, cash flows from operations and seasonal borrowings under our credit facility. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During Fiscal 2008, we paid approximately $44.0&nbsp;million of costs to wind down the Disney Store business. These costs include the forgiveness of all
pre- and post- petition claims against the Hoop estate, including intercompany charges for shared services of approximately $23.6&nbsp;million, a cash capital contribution of
approximately $8.3&nbsp;million, severance and other employee costs for our employees servicing Hoop Entities of approximately $6.6&nbsp;million, and legal and other costs of approximately
$5.6&nbsp;million. As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, we have remaining accruals of $4.1&nbsp;million for severance, legal and other costs. As the wind down of the Hoop Entities continues, we may
incur additional charges or claims. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to the Note Purchase Agreement, we estimate that we are required to make a mandatory prepayment of approximately $30&nbsp;million in the first half of fiscal 2009. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Credit Facilities  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On July&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a five year credit agreement (the "2008
Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Retail Finance,&nbsp;LLC ("Wells Fargo"), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and Swing Line Lender, Bank of America, N.A., HSBC Bank Business Credit
(USA), and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (collectively,
the "Lenders"). The 2008 Credit Agreement replaces a $130&nbsp;million credit agreement and a $60&nbsp;million letter of credit facility which, except in certain limited circumstances was set to
expire coterminously on November&nbsp;1, 2010 (the "Prior Credit Agreements"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
2008 Credit Agreement consists of a $200&nbsp;million asset based revolving credit facility, which includes a $175&nbsp;million letter of credit sub-facility. Amounts
outstanding under the 2008 Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at: </FONT></P>

plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.00% based on the amount of the Company's average excess availability under the facility. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, an unused line fee of 0.25% will accrue on the unused portion of the commitments under the facility. Letter of credit fees range from 0.75% to 1.25% for commercial letters
of credit and range from 1.50% to 2.00% for standby letters of credit. Letter of credit fees are determined based on the level of availability under the 2008 Credit Agreement and accrue on the undrawn
amount of such outstanding letters of credit, respectively. The 2008 Credit Agreement will mature on July&nbsp;31, 2013. The amount available for loans and letters of credit under the 2008 Credit
Agreement at any time depends on the Company's levels of inventory and accounts receivable at such time. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
outstanding obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, breach of covenants, the institution of
insolvency proceedings, certain defaults under certain other indebtedness and a change of control, subject, in the case of certain defaults, to a failure to cure such defaults prior to the expiration
of applicable grace periods. Should the 2008 Credit Agreement be terminated prior to August&nbsp;1, 2010 for any reason, whether voluntarily by the Company or by reason of acceleration by the
Lenders upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Company would be responsible for an early termination fee in the amount of (i)&nbsp;0.50% of the revolving credit facility ceiling then in
effect if such termination occurs on or prior to July&nbsp;31, 2009 and (ii)&nbsp;0.25% of the revolving credit facility ceiling then in effect if such termination occurs after July&nbsp;31,
2009, but on or prior to July&nbsp;31, 2010. No early termination fee would be due and payable for termination after July&nbsp;31, 2010. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
2008 Credit Agreement contains covenants, which include limitations on annual capital expenditures and limitations on the payment of dividends or similar payments. Credit extended
under the 2008 Credit Agreement is secured by a first or second priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all of the assets of its domestic
subsidiaries. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued $85&nbsp;million of non-amortizing secured notes (the "Notes") which will be due and payable on July&nbsp;31, 2013.
Amounts outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement bear interest at LIBOR, with a floor of 3.00%, plus a margin between 8.50% and 9.75% depending on the Company's leverage ratio. As of
January&nbsp;31, 2009, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes was 11.50%. </FONT></P>

in the case of certain defaults, to a failure to cure such defaults prior to the expiration of applicable grace periods. The Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments if a change
of control occurs, if it receives cash in excess of certain defined thresholds for the sale of assets or as a result of other defined events, if it issues equity or other debt securities, or if annual
cash flows are in excess of defined thresholds for any fiscal year. In addition, the outstanding obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement may be prepaid at any time at the discretion of the
Company. In the event of any prepayment prior to July&nbsp;31, 2010 (including by reason of acceleration, but excluding a prepayment relating to excess cash flows and certain extraordinary
receipts), the Company would be responsible for a prepayment premium in the amount of (i)&nbsp;2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or prior to
July&nbsp;30, 2009 and (ii)&nbsp;1.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes prepaid if such prepayment occurs after July&nbsp;30, 2009, but on or prior to July&nbsp;30, 2010. No
prepayment premium would be due and payable in respect of prepayments made on or after July&nbsp;31, 2010. Based on the Company's cash flow for Fiscal 2008, a mandatory prepayment of approximately
$30&nbsp;million is expected to be made in the first half of fiscal 2009. Accordingly, Notes in an outstanding principal amount of $30&nbsp;million are classified as current in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet at January&nbsp;31, 2009. The Company also has the option, based in its cash flow for Fiscal 2008, to make an additional prepayment of up to approximately
$15&nbsp;million free of prepayment premium. The Company has not yet determined whether an additional prepayment will be made. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Note Purchase Agreement contains covenants, which include limitations on annual capital expenditures, required levels of EBITDA, a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio and limitations on the payment of dividends or similar payments. The Company's obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement are secured by a first or second priority security interest
in substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all of the assets of its domestic subsidiaries. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
July&nbsp;31, 2008, a portion of the proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement were used to repay in full the Company's outstanding obligations under the Prior Credit Agreements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company capitalized approximately $2.2&nbsp;million in deferred financing costs related to the Note Purchase Agreement, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash flows provided by operating activities were $218.4&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2008, compared to cash flows used by operating
activities of $1.2&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash
flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations were $205.8&nbsp;million and $36.1&nbsp;million, during Fiscal 2008 and Fiscal 2007, respectively. In Fiscal
2008, our increased cash flows provided by operating activities were driven by higher income from continuing operations of $73.9&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2008 compared to $10.0&nbsp;million
during Fiscal 2007. Significant non-cash expenses in Fiscal 2008 included approximately $32.2&nbsp;million of deferred tax expense while Fiscal 2007 included a $56.8&nbsp;million
deferred tax benefit. During Fiscal 2008, we made net cash payments of approximately $11.6&nbsp;million for taxes compared to $58.5&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2007. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash
flows provided by operating activities of discontinued operations were $12.6&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2008 compared to $37.3&nbsp;million used in operating activities during
Fiscal 2007. The increase is primarily due to the parent funding of operating losses during Fiscal 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash

flows used in investing activities of continuing operations were $49.4&nbsp;million and $121.8&nbsp;million during Fiscal 2008 and Fiscal 2007, respectively. Cash paid for
capital expenditures were $51.7&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2008 compared to $168.7&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2007. This decrease of $117.0&nbsp;million resulted primarily from fewer store openings and
the completion of a distribution center during Fiscal 2007. Fiscal 2007 also included the net sale of $46.7&nbsp;million of short term investments to fund working capital needs. We had no short term
investments in Fiscal 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash
flows used in investing activities of discontinued operations were $11.4&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2008 compared to $2.8&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2007. This increase of
$8.6&nbsp;million is primarily due to $28.3&nbsp;million of net investments sold in Fiscal 2007 offset by $22.0&nbsp;million fewer payments on property and equipment in Fiscal 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash
flows used in financing activities were $4.4&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2008 compared to $89.9&nbsp;million of cash flows provided by financing activities in Fiscal 2007. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash
flows provided by financing activities of continuing operations were $7.4&nbsp;million and $70.5&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2008 and Fiscal 2007, respectively. Fiscal 2008 includes
$85&nbsp;million of proceeds received from the Note Purchase Agreement and $4.7&nbsp;million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, mostly offset by $69.6&nbsp;million of net repayments
on our credit facility, an $8.3&nbsp;million capital contribution to our subsidiary in bankruptcy and $3.8&nbsp;million of deferred financing costs associated with the Note Purchase Agreement.
Fiscal 2007 includes $69.6&nbsp;million of net borrowings on our credit facility and $0.9&nbsp;million of cash flows related to stock option exercises. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash
flows used in financing activities of discontinued operations were $11.9&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2008 compared to $19.4&nbsp;million of cash flows provided by financing
activities in Fiscal 2007. Fiscal 2008 includes a net $19.4&nbsp;million repayment of borrowings and $0.7&nbsp;million of deferred financing costs, partially offset by an $8.3&nbsp;million cash
contribution. Fiscal 2007 includes net borrowings under the Amended Hoop Loan Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
anticipate that total capital expenditures will be in the range of approximately $75 to $85&nbsp;million in fiscal 2009. Our increased planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2009
reflects the anticipation of opening 35 stores and remodeling 20 stores compared to 26 store openings and 15 remodels in Fiscal 2008. Approximately $40&nbsp;million of our planned capital
expenditures will provide for the store openings and remodels, and we anticipate receiving approximately $7.4&nbsp;million in related lease incentives during fiscal 2009. We also anticipate spending
approximately $15 to $20&nbsp;million on the build out of a new
office facility. The remainder of our 2009 capital expenditure budget will be utilized for information technology and other initiatives. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
ability to meet our capital requirements in fiscal 2009 depends on our ability to generate cash flows from operations and our borrowings under our credit facilities. Cash flow
generated from operations depends on our ability to achieve our financial plans. During fiscal 2009, we will focus on conserving our capital resources, particularly during the second quarter of 2009
when our revenues are lowest and we are building inventory to support the back-to-school season. We believe that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and funds
available to us through our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our capital and other cash flow requirements over the next 12&nbsp;months. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically,
we have funded our capital expenditures primarily from operations, with occasional seasonal advances on our debt facilities. In Fiscal 2008, our cash generated from
operations along with $85&nbsp;million received on the Note Purchase Agreement provided sufficient funds for our capital requirements. In Fiscal 2007, we completed building a new distribution center
and incurred significant construction costs on new corporate offices. This increase in capital expenditures coupled with a decrease in operating profit, required us to fund our capital expenditures,
in part, through advances on our credit facility and the sale of investments. Our ability to meet our capital requirements in fiscal 2009 will depend on our ability to achieve our financial plans and
generate sufficient cash flows from </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated and are expected to continue to fluctuate materially depending on a variety of
factors, including overall economic conditions, the timing of new store openings and related pre-opening and other startup costs, net sales contributed by new stores, increases or
decreases in comparable store sales, weather conditions, shifts in timing of certain holidays, changes in our merchandise mix and pricing strategy. The combination and severity of one or more of these
factors could result in material fluctuations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the normal course of business, our financial position and results of operations are routinely subject to market risk associated with
interest rate movements on borrowings and investments and currency rate movements on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets, liabilities and income. We utilize cash from operations and
short-term borrowings to fund our working capital and investment needs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash, cash equivalents and investments are normally invested in short-term financial instruments that will be used in
operations within a year of the balance sheet date. Because of the short-term nature of these investments, changes in interest rates would not materially affect the fair value of these
financial instruments. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Interest Rates  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have an $85&nbsp;million term loan that bears interest at LIBOR, with a floor of 3.00% plus a margin between 8.50% and 9.75% based
on our leverage ratio. Our credit facility bears interest at either the prime rate or a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus a calculated spread based on our average excess availability. As of
January&nbsp;31, 2009, we had no borrowings under the credit facility. During Fiscal 2008, our weighted average borrowings under all debt agreements were $63.7&nbsp;million and the weighted
average interest rate was 9.7%. For Fiscal 2008, a 120 basis point change in the respective interest rates would either increase or decrease our interest expense by $0.8&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Foreign Assets and Liabilities  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assets and liabilities outside the United States are primarily located in Canada and Hong Kong. Our investments in our Canadian
subsidiaries are considered long-term; however, we are not deemed to be permanently reinvested in our Hong Kong subsidiary. We do not hedge these net investments nor are we party to any
derivative financial instruments. As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, net assets in Canada and Hong Kong were $71.4&nbsp;million and $45.2&nbsp;million, respectively. A 10% increase or decrease in the
Canadian and Hong Kong Dollars would increase or decrease the corresponding net investment by $7.1&nbsp;million and $4.5&nbsp;million, respectively. All changes in the net investment of our
foreign subsidiaries are recorded in other comprehensive income as unrealized gains or losses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of January&nbsp;31, 2009, we had approximately $78.6&nbsp;million of our cash and investment balances held in foreign countries, of which approximately $38.1&nbsp;million was in
Canada and approximately $40.5&nbsp;million was in Hong Kong. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Foreign Operations  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approximately 12% of our consolidated net sales and 12% of our operating costs are transacted in foreign currencies. As a result,
fluctuations in exchange rates impact the amount of our reported sales and expenses. Assuming a 10% change in foreign exchange rates, Fiscal 2008 net sales and operating expenses could have decreased
or increased by approximately $20.2&nbsp;million and $16.8&nbsp;million, respectively. Additionally, we have foreign currency denominated receivables and payables that when settled, result in
transaction gains or losses. At January&nbsp;31, 2009, we had foreign currency denominated receivables and payables of $5.6&nbsp;million and $0.2&nbsp;million, respectively. We have not used
derivatives to manage foreign currency exchange risk, and no foreign currency exchange derivatives were outstanding at January&nbsp;31, 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
the Company does not have substantial financial assets in China, it imports a large percentage of its merchandise from that country. Consequently, any significant or sudden change
in China's political, foreign trade, financial, banking or currency policies and practices could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.  </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management, including our principal executive officers (our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice
President&#151;Finance and Administration, who is also our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Rule&nbsp;13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of January&nbsp;31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officers and
principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January&nbsp;31, 2009 to ensure that all information required to be disclosed in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in
Securities Exchange Act Rule&nbsp;13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting
for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not
intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers, we conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
("COSO"). Based on our evaluation under the framework in </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, our management concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of January&nbsp;31, 2009. Our independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this annual report has
issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. </FONT></P>

have audited The Children's Place Retail Stores, Inc's. (the "Company") internal control over financial reporting as of January&nbsp;31, 2009, based on criteria established in </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>Internal Control&#151;Integrated
Framework</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in the accompanying, "Item&nbsp;9A, Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting." Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1)&nbsp;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, The Children's Place Retail Stores,&nbsp;Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January&nbsp;31, 2009,
based on the COSO criteria. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of The Children's Place Retail
Stores,&nbsp;Inc. as of January&nbsp;31, 2009 and February&nbsp;2, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended January&nbsp;31, 2009 and our report dated March&nbsp;28, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>To
the Stockholders and Board of Directors of<BR>
The Children's Place Retail Stores,&nbsp;Inc.<BR>
Secaucus, New Jersey: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Children's Place Retail Stores,&nbsp;Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January&nbsp;31, 2009 and
February&nbsp;2, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January&nbsp;31,
2009. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and
schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Children's Place Retail
Stores,&nbsp;Inc. and Subsidiaries at January&nbsp;31, 2009 and February&nbsp;2, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
January&nbsp;31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also,
in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Children's Place Retail Stores,&nbsp;Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is a specialty retailer of merchandise for children from newborn to ten years of age. The Company
designs, contracts to manufacture and sells high-quality, value priced apparel and accessories and other children's-oriented merchandise under the proprietary "The Children's Place" brand
name. As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company operated 917 The Children's Place stores in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. In addition, the Company operated an Internet store at </FONT> <FONT
SIZE=2><I>www.childrensplace.com</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S.&nbsp;GAAP"), and reflecting the Company's exit of the
Disney Store business, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have classified the Disney Store business as discontinued operations. In December 2008, the Company deconsolidated those
subsidiaries operating the Disney Store business (see Note&nbsp;2). In addition to corporate offices and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada, the Company also has business
operations in Asia. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Fiscal Year  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday nearest to January&nbsp;31.
The results for fiscal 2008 represent the 52-week period ended January&nbsp;31, 2009 ("Fiscal 2008"), the results for fiscal 2007 represent the 52-week period ended
February&nbsp;2, 2008 ("Fiscal 2007"), and the results for fiscal 2006 represent the 53-week period ended February&nbsp;3, 2007 ("Fiscal 2006"). </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Use of Estimates  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.&nbsp;GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the
period. Actual results could differ from the assumptions used and estimates made by management, which could have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Consolidation  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company does not have any investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Interpretation ("FIN") No.&nbsp;46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" and Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No.&nbsp;51, "Consolidated Financial
Statements" are considered when determining whether an entity is subject to consolidation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Cash and Cash Equivalents  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Revenue Recognition  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company recognizes revenue, including shipping and handling fees billed to customers, upon purchase at the Company's retail stores
or when received by the customer if the product was purchased </FONT></P>

the Internet, net of coupon redemptions and anticipated sales returns. The Company deferred approximately $0.5&nbsp;million and $0.3&nbsp;million as of January&nbsp;31, 2009 and
February&nbsp;2, 2008, respectively, for Internet shipments sent but not yet received by the customer. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An
allowance for estimated sales returns is calculated based upon the Company's sales return experience and is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The allowance
for estimated sales returns was approximately $3.2&nbsp;million as of January&nbsp;31, 2009 and February&nbsp;2, 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's policy with respect to gift cards is to record revenue as the gift cards are redeemed for merchandise. Prior to their redemption, gift cards are recorded as a liability,
included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The Company recognizes income from gift cards that are not expected to be redeemed based upon an extended period of dormancy where
statutorily permitted. The Company recognized income for gift card dormancy of approximately $0.5&nbsp;million and $0.6&nbsp;million during fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company offers a private label credit card to its Children's Place customers that provides a discount on future purchases once a minimum annual purchase threshold has been exceeded.
The Company estimates the future discounts to be provided based on history, the number of customers who have earned or are likely to earn the discount and current year sales trends on the private
label credit card. The Company defers a proportionate amount of revenue from customers based on an estimated value of future discounts. The Company recognizes such deferred revenue as future discounts
are taken on sales above the annual minimum. This is done by utilizing estimates based upon sales trends and the number of customers who have earned the discount privilege. The Company's private label
customers must earn the discount privilege on an annual basis, and such privilege expires at fiscal year end. Accordingly, deferred revenue for a given fiscal year is recognized by the end of that
fiscal year. The Company commenced its 2009 private label program in January 2009. Accordingly, the Company recognized $0.1&nbsp;million in deferred revenue at January&nbsp;31, 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Inventories  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories, which consist primarily of finished goods, are stated at the lower of average cost or market, calculated using the retail
inventory method. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of inventories at cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a cost-to-retail ratio by
merchandise department to the retail value of inventories. Inventory includes items that have been marked down to the Company's best estimate of their fair market value and an estimate for inventory
shrinkage. The Company bases its decision to mark down merchandise upon its current rate of sale, the season and the sell-through of the item. The Company adjusts its inventory based upon
an annual physical inventory and shrinkage is estimated in interim periods based upon the historical results of physical inventories in the context of current year facts and circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Cost of Sales  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the cost of inventory sold, the Company includes buying, design and distribution expenses, shipping and handling costs
on merchandise sold directly to customers, and letter of credit fees in its cost of sales. The Company records all occupancy costs in its cost of sales, except </FONT></P>

(the "Compensation Committee"). The Compensation Committee is comprised of independent members of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Company has granted stock options under its 1996 Stock
Option Plan (the "1996 Plan"), its 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"), and its 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2005 Equity Plan") (collectively, the "Plans"). The Plans allow the Compensation
Committee to grant multiple forms of equity compensation such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, deferred stock awards and performance awards. Effective with the
adoption of the 2005
Equity Plan, the Compensation Committee resolved to cease issuing stock awards under the 1996 Plan and the 1997 Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective
January&nbsp;29, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.&nbsp;123 (Revised 2004) "Accounting for Share-Based Payments"
("SFAS&nbsp;123(R)"), using the modified prospective transition method, which provides that prior periods are not restated. SFAS&nbsp;123(R) requires, among other things: (a)&nbsp;the fair value
of all stock awards be expensed over their respective vesting periods, including those awards that were unvested at the time of adoption; (b)&nbsp;a company must make a policy decision about whether
to recognize compensation cost for awards with a graded vesting schedule on either (i)&nbsp;a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of
the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards or (ii)&nbsp;on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Under either
method, the amount of cumulative compensation cost recognized at any date must at least be equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date and
(c)&nbsp;that compensation expense include a forfeiture estimate for those shares not expected to vest. The Company has elected to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis
over the requisite service period for the entire award. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During Fiscal 2008, the Company ceased issuing stock options in favor of deferred stock awards. Outstanding stock options that were
issued prior to the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;123(R) are fully vested. All stock options currently outstanding were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation,
which requires extensive use of accounting judgment and financial estimates, including estimates of how long an employee will hold their vested stock options before exercise, the estimated volatility
of the Company's common stock over the expected term, and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to the completion of vesting requirements. Application of other assumptions could result in
significantly different estimates of fair value of stock-based compensation and the related expense recognized in the Company's financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accounts receivable consists of credit card receivables, landlord construction allowance receivables and other miscellaneous items.
Credit card receivables represent credit card sales for which the respective credit card service company has yet to remit the cash. The unremitted balance approximates the last few days of credit card
sales for each reporting period. Bad debt associated with credit card sales is not material. Landlord construction allowance receivables represent landlord contributions to our construction costs of
building out the related real estate, primarily new and remodeled stores. Total construction costs are capitalized as property and equipment and the landlord construction allowances are recorded as a
lease incentive, a component of deferred rent, which is amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term. Landlord construction allowance receivables were approximately $8.1&nbsp;million
and $24.0&nbsp;million at January&nbsp;31, 2009 and February&nbsp;2, 2008, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company self-insures and purchases insurance policies to provide for workers' compensation, general liability and
property losses, as well as director and officer's liability, vehicle liability and employee medical benefits. The Company estimates risks and records a liability based on historical claim experience,
insurance deductibles, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. The Company records the current portions of employee medical benefits, workers compensation and general liability reserves in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities. As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, the current portion of these reserves were approximately $6.2&nbsp;million. The Company records the
long-term portions of employee medical benefits, workers compensation and general liability reserves in other long-term liabilities. As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, the
long-term portions of these reserves were approximately $7.2&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property and equipment are stated at cost. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease
or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. All other property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis based upon their estimated useful lives, which
generally range from three to twenty-five years. Interest costs related to the construction of property and equipment are capitalized as incurred as part of the cost of the constructed
asset. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company accounts for internally developed software intended for internal use in accordance with SOP&nbsp;98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed
or Obtained for Internal Use." The Company capitalizes development-stage costs such as direct external costs, direct payroll related costs and interest costs incurred to develop the software prior to
implementation. When development is substantially complete, the Company amortizes the cost of the software on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the software. Preliminary
project costs and post-implementation costs such as training, maintenance and support are expensed as incurred. </FONT></P>

value may not be recoverable. Such events include a history of operating or cash flow losses or an expectation that an asset will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its
previously estimated useful life. The Company also evaluates all stores that have been open for at least two years, or sooner if circumstances should dictate, on at least an annual basis. For each of
these stores, projected future cash flows over the remaining life of the lease are compared to the net book value of the related long-lived assets, primarily leasehold improvement and
furniture and fixtures. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the related net book value of the long-lived assets, they are written down to their fair market value. We primarily
determine fair market value to be the discounted future cash flows associated with those assets. These cash flows are comprised of store sales less related cost of sales, less store payroll, occupancy
costs, and other store level direct expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company accounts for its exit and disposal costs in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;146, "Accounting Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities" (SFAS&nbsp;146") and records costs at fair value to terminate an operating lease or contract when termination occurs before the end of its term and without future economic
benefit to the Company. Included in Other costs for Fiscal 2007, are approximately $5.9&nbsp;million of lease exit costs related to the Company's decision not to proceed forward with the
construction of the Emerson Lane administrative office building. Fiscal 2008 includes $0.2&nbsp;million of related interest accretion. During Fiscal 2008, the Company made $1.7&nbsp;million in
payments and at January&nbsp;31, 2009 had a remaining accrual of $4.4&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Deferred Financing Costs  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company capitalizes costs directly associated with acquiring third-party financing. Deferred financing costs are included in other
assets and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis as interest expense over the term of the related indebtedness. In cases where financing costs are based on amounts borrowed, the
portion of those costs related to prepayments, if any, is accelerated. At January&nbsp;31, 2009, deferred financing costs were approximately $3.4&nbsp;million, net of accumulated amortization of
$0.4&nbsp;million. At February&nbsp;2, 2008, deferred financing costs were approximately $0.1&nbsp;million, net of accumulated amortization of $25&nbsp;thousand. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Store pre-opening costs consist primarily of occupancy costs, payroll, supply, and marketing expenses, and are expensed as
incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Advertising and Marketing Costs  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company expenses the cost of advertising when the advertising is first run or displayed. Included in selling, general and
administrative expenses for Fiscal 2008, Fiscal 2007
and Fiscal 2006 are advertising and other marketing costs of approximately $49.6&nbsp;million, $50.5&nbsp;million and $46.3&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rent expense and lease incentives, including landlord construction allowances, are recognized on a straight-line basis over
the lease term, commencing generally on the date the Company takes possession of the leased property. The Company records rent expense and the impact of lease incentives for its stores and
distribution centers as a component of cost of sales. The unamortized portion of deferred rent is included in deferred rent liabilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Income Taxes  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in SFAS No.&nbsp;109, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting
for Income Taxes.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances we consider projected future taxable income and the availability of tax planning strategies. If, in the
future we determine that we would not be able to realize our recorded deferred tax assets, an increase in the valuation allowance would decrease earnings in the period in which such determination is
made. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the
reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of
being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax
benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior
to 2007 the Company determined its tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;5, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Accounting for Contingencies</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. The Company
recorded estimated tax liabilities to the extent the contingencies were probable and could be reasonably estimated. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Fair Value of Financial Instruments  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SFAS No.&nbsp;107, "Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments," requires entities to disclose the fair value of
financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, recognized and not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair
value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value is
based on quoted market prices for the same or similar financial instruments. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, the Company's credit facilities and certain other short-term financial instruments are all
short-term in nature, their carrying amounts approximate fair value. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Foreign Currency Translation  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has determined that the local currencies of its Canadian and Asian subsidiaries are their functional currencies. In
accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;52, "Foreign Currency Translation," the assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange existing
at period-end and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The
Company also transacts certain business in foreign denominated currencies, primarily its Canadian subsidiary purchases inventory in U.S. Dollars, and there are intercompany charges between various
subsidiaries. In Fiscal 2008, Fiscal 2007, and Fiscal 2006, the Company recorded realized and unrealized gains (losses) on such transactions of $(2.7) million, $1.9&nbsp;million and
$(0.1)&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
conjunction with the Company's deconsolidation of its Canadian subsidiary, Hoop Canada,&nbsp;Inc. (See Note&nbsp;2 below), approximately $0.5&nbsp;million of cumulative
translation adjustment was credited to income (loss) from discontinued operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company reserves for litigation settlements and contingencies when it determines an adverse outcome is probable and can estimate

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS&nbsp;157") which provides guidance for using
fair value to measure assets and liabilities, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S.&nbsp;GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS&nbsp;157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years, with the exception of all non-financial assets and
liabilities which will be effective for years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS&nbsp;157 on February&nbsp;3, 2008, the first day of fiscal year 2008. The adoption
did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities&#151;Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No.&nbsp;115" ("SFAS&nbsp;159"). This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions in SFAS&nbsp;159
are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS&nbsp;115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", applies to all entities with available-for-sale and
trading securities. The fair value option established by SFAS&nbsp;159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity will
report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each
subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a)&nbsp;may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method;
(b)&nbsp;is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c)&nbsp;is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS&nbsp;159 is effective as of the beginning
of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>November&nbsp;15,
2007. The Company has chosen not to adopt the elective provisions of SFAS&nbsp;159 and the remaining provisions did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS&nbsp;141R"), which replaces FASB Statement No.&nbsp;141. SFAS&nbsp;141R
establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree,
recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business or a gain from a bargain purchase and determines what information to disclose to enable the users of the financial statements to evaluate
the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS&nbsp;141R shall be applied prospectively to business combinations with acquisition dates on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period in which it is initially applied. SFAS&nbsp;141R is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December&nbsp;15, 2008. The Company does not expect SFAS&nbsp;141R to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After a thorough review of the Disney Store business, its potential earnings growth, its capital needs and its ability to fund such needs from its own resources, the Company announced on
March&nbsp;20, 2008 that it had decided to exit the Disney Store business. The Company's subsidiaries that operated the Disney Store business are referred to herein interchangeably and collectively
as "Hoop". </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After
assessing the above factors and considering Hoop's liquidity, Hoop's Board of Directors determined that the best way to complete an orderly wind-down of Hoop's affairs
was for Hoop to seek relief under Chapter&nbsp;11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). On March&nbsp;26, 2008, Hoop Holdings,&nbsp;LLC, Hoop Retail Stores,&nbsp;LLC
and Hoop Canada Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter&nbsp;11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
"U.S. Bankruptcy Court") (Case Nos.&nbsp;08-10544, 08-10545, and 08-10546, respectively, the "Cases"). On March&nbsp;27, 2008, Hoop Canada,&nbsp;Inc. filed
for protection pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) ("Canadian Bankruptcy Court") (Court File
No.&nbsp;08-CL-7453, and together with the Cases, the "Filings"). Each of the foregoing Hoop entities are referred to collectively herein as the "Hoop Entities." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After
receiving the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Canadian Bankruptcy Court, on April&nbsp;30, 2008, Hoop transferred the Disney Store business in the U.S. and Canada
and a substantial portion of the Disney Store assets to affiliates of Disney in an asset sale (the "Sale"), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated as of April&nbsp;3, 2008 among the Hoop
Entities and affiliates of Disney (the "Sale Agreement") and section&nbsp;363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and a similar provision under the CCAA.) Upon closing, affiliates of Disney paid approximately
$61.6&nbsp;million, including certain post-closing adjustments, for the acquired assets of the Disney Store business. The proceeds received from the Sale are included in the assets of
the Hoop Entities' for distribution to their creditors pursuant to the plan of reorganization that was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on December&nbsp;15, 2008 (the "Plan"). A similar plan
was approved by the Canadian Bankruptcy Court. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;According
to the terms of the Sale, Hoop transferred 217 Disney Stores to affiliates of Disney and granted such affiliates the right to operate and wind-down the affairs of
the remaining stores. The lease </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April 2008, the Company entered into a settlement and release of claims agreement with Hoop and the official committee of unsecured creditors in the Cases (the "Settlement
Agreement"), which was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on April&nbsp;29, 2008. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to provide transitional services and to forgive all
pre- and post-bankruptcy petition claims against the Hoop Entities. Such claims included intercompany charges for shared services of approximately $24.9&nbsp;million, a
capital contribution made on March&nbsp;18, 2008 of approximately $8.3&nbsp;million, payment of severance and other employee costs for the Company's employees servicing Hoop of approximately
$7.9&nbsp;million, and $7.0&nbsp;million of professional fees and other costs the Company has incurred during the Cases, as well as claims that might be asserted against the Company in the Cases.
As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company has paid approximately $44&nbsp;million related to the Settlement Agreement, and has remaining accruals of $4.1&nbsp;million, primarily for severance,
legal claims and related costs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
December&nbsp;15, 2008, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the Plan, pursuant to which the Hoop Entities that were U.S. debtors were dissolved and all assets and liabilities were
transferred to a trust (the "Trust"), which is overseen by trustee appointed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court under the Plan and a trust oversight committee. Hoop Canada,&nbsp;Inc., which currently
remains under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Bankruptcy Court, has not yet been legally dissolved but is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust and is effectively part of the Trust's assets. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Disney Store business has been segregated from continuing operations and included in "Discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the consolidated statements of operations. In
discontinued operations, the Company has reversed its allocation of shared services to the Disney Stores and has charged discontinued operations with the administrative and distribution expenses that
were directly attributable to the Disney Stores. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon
effectiveness of the Plan, the Company has deconsolidated all Hoop Entities. As a result, all intercompany balances, including investments in subsidiaries, have been eliminated, and
the net liabilities in excess of assets transferred have resulted in a $25.5&nbsp;million gain on the relief of indebtedness of discontinued operations. The Company may continue to incur charges
related to the wind-down of the Disney Store business and such costs will be expensed through discontinued operations as incurred. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fiscal
2008 includes the Disney Store business through April&nbsp;30, 2008. The gain on disposal of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations includes a $22.2&nbsp;million
gain related to the Sale and a $25.5&nbsp;million gain related to the relief of indebtedness of the Hoop Entities. Restructuring charges include legal and consulting fees incurred during the
wind-down of the Hoop Entities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
Fiscal 2007, in conjunction with the Company's renovation of certain "Mickey" stores, the Company reduced the estimated useful lives of certain store assets and accordingly,
recognized approximately $3.6&nbsp;million of accelerated depreciation. The impairment charges of $80.3&nbsp;million are for the write-down of store and administrative offices to their
respective fair value, reflecting the Company's decision to divest of the operations of the Disney Stores. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
Fiscal 2006, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $16.6&nbsp;million, comprised of a $9.6&nbsp;million charge related to the renovation of 29 Mickey prototype
stores and $7.1&nbsp;million related to the Company's decision not to proceed with a New York City Disney Store location and infrastructure investments that were written off in conjunction with the
Company's decision to form an e-commerce alliance with a Disney affiliate in which select Disney Store merchandise is sold on the disneyshopping.com website. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company issued performance awards to certain key members of management. Each performance award provided for the issuance of a targeted number
of shares of the Company's common stock with the aggregate number of target shares for all performance awards aggregating 566,500 shares. The awards were based on, among other conditions, achieving a
minimum earnings per share level in fiscal 2007 and a minimum cumulative earnings per share level for fiscal years 2005, 2006, and 2007. The number of shares earned would be equal to the number of
target shares multiplied by a factor between 0% and 200% based on the cumulative earnings per share achieved. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company recorded $2.3&nbsp;million of
related expense based on an estimated factor of 100%. Prior to filing its fiscal 2006 second quarter results on Form&nbsp;10-Q, the Company estimated that the minimum target would not be
met and accordingly reversed the previously recorded $2.3&nbsp;million. That assessment remained unchanged and at February&nbsp;2, 2008, it was concluded that the minimum requirements were not
achieved and no shares were earned. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>HSBC
Bank Business Credit (USA) and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (collectively, the "Lenders"). The 2008 Credit Agreement replaces a $130&nbsp;million credit agreement and a $60&nbsp;million letter
of credit agreement which, except under certain limited circumstances, was set to coterminously expire on November&nbsp;1, 2010 (the "Prior Credit Agreements"). </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
2008 Credit Agreement consists of a $200&nbsp;million asset based revolving credit facility, which includes a $175&nbsp;million letter of credit sub-facility. Amounts
outstanding under the 2008 Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at: </FONT></P>

plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.00% based on the amount of the Company's average excess availability under the facility. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, an unused line fee of 0.25% will accrue on the unused portion of the commitments under the facility. Letter of credit fees range from 0.75% to 1.25% for commercial letters
of credit and range from 1.50% to 2.00% for standby letters of credit. Letter of credit fees are determined based on the
level of availability under the 2008 Credit Agreement and accrue on the undrawn amount of such outstanding letters of credit, respectively. The 2008 Credit Agreement will mature on July&nbsp;31,
2013. The amount available for loans and letters of credit under the 2008 Credit Agreement at any time depends on the Company's levels of inventory and accounts receivable at such time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
outstanding obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, breach of covenants, the institution of
insolvency proceedings, certain defaults under certain other indebtedness and a change of control, subject, in the case of certain defaults, to a failure to cure such defaults prior to the expiration
of applicable grace periods. Should the 2008 Credit Agreement be terminated prior to August&nbsp;1, 2010 for any reason, whether voluntarily by the Company or by reason of acceleration by the
Lenders upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Company would be responsible for an early termination fee in the amount of (i)&nbsp;0.50% of the revolving credit facility ceiling then in
effect if such termination occurs on or prior to July&nbsp;31, 2009 and (ii)&nbsp;0.25% of the revolving credit facility ceiling then in effect if such termination occurs after July&nbsp;31,
2009, but on or prior to July&nbsp;31, 2010. No early termination fee would be due and payable for termination after July&nbsp;31, 2010. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
2008 Credit Agreement contains covenants, which include limitations on annual capital expenditures and limitations on the payment of dividends or similar payments. Credit extended
under the 2008 Credit Agreement is secured by a first or second priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all of the assets of its domestic
subsidiaries. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company capitalized approximately $1.6&nbsp;million in deferred financing costs related to the 2008 Credit Agreement, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term
of the 2008 Credit Agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>8.50%
and 9.75% depending on the Company's leverage ratio. As of January&nbsp;31, 2009, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes was 11.50%. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
outstanding obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, breach of covenants, certain defaults
under certain other indebtedness, the institution of insolvency proceedings and a material adverse effect, subject, in the case of certain defaults, to a failure to cure such defaults prior to the
expiration of applicable grace periods. The Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments if a change of control occurs, if it receives cash in excess of certain defined thresholds for the
sale of assets or as a result of other defined events, if it issues equity or other debt securities, or if annual cash flows are in excess of defined thresholds for any fiscal year. In addition, the
outstanding obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement may be prepaid at any time at the discretion of the Company. In the event of any prepayment prior to July&nbsp;31, 2010 (including by reason
of acceleration, but excluding a prepayment relating to excess cash flows and certain extraordinary receipts), the Company would be responsible for a prepayment premium in the amount of
(i)&nbsp;2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or prior to July&nbsp;30, 2009 and (ii)&nbsp;1.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes prepaid if such prepayment occurs after July&nbsp;30, 2009, but on or prior to July&nbsp;30, 2010. No prepayment premium would be due and payable in respect of prepayments made on or after
July&nbsp;31, 2010. Based on the Company's cash flow for Fiscal 2008, a mandatory prepayment of approximately $30&nbsp;million is expected to be made in the first half of fiscal 2009. Accordingly,
Notes in an outstanding principal amount of $30&nbsp;million are classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at January&nbsp;31, 2009. The Company also has the option,
based in its cash flow for Fiscal 2008, to make an additional prepayment of up to approximately $15&nbsp;million free of prepayment premium. The Company has not yet determined whether an additional
prepayment will be made. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Note Purchase Agreement contains covenants, which include limitations on annual capital expenditures, required levels of EBITDA, a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio and limitations on the payment of dividends or similar payments. The Company's obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement are secured by a first or second priority security interest
in substantially all of the Company's domestic assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
July&nbsp;31, 2008, a portion of the proceeds from the Note Purchase Agreement were used to repay in full the Company's outstanding obligations under the Prior Credit Agreements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company capitalized approximately $2.2&nbsp;million in deferred financing costs related to the Note Purchase Agreement, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the Note Purchase Agreement, except that in the event of prepayments, the portion of the deferred financing costs related to the prepayment is accelerated. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;29, 2006, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC informed us that it had initiated an informal investigation into our stock option granting practices. In addition,
the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey has initiated an investigation into our option granting practices. We have cooperated with these investigations and have briefed both
authorities on the results of an investigation conducted by a sub-committee appointed by the Board of Directors. There have been no developments in these matters since that time. The
Company has not accrued any losses relating to these matters. There can be no assurances that the Company will not incur any costs or
fines, but it is not believed that resolution of these matters would have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;17, 2007, a stockholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey against certain current members of the Board of
Directors and certain current and former senior executives. The Company has been named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of our current and former
officers and directors (i)&nbsp;breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders and were unjustly enriched by improperly backdating certain grants of stock options to officers
and directors of the Company, (ii)&nbsp;caused the Company to file false and misleading reports with the SEC, (iii)&nbsp;violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and
common law, (iv)&nbsp;caused the Company to issue false and misleading public statements and (v)&nbsp;were negligent and abdicated their responsibilities to the Company and its stockholders. The
complaint sought money damages, an accounting by the defendants for the proceeds of sales of any allegedly backdated stock options, and the costs and disbursements of the lawsuit, as well as equitable
relief. The plaintiff filed amended complaints adding, among other things, a claim for securities fraud under SEC rule&nbsp;10b-5 and additional defendants and claims. In May 2008, the
parties entered into a stipulation settlement to resolve this action, which settlement was approved by the court on July&nbsp;21, 2008. The only monetary portion of the settlement was to pay
$0.7&nbsp;million of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses to plaintiffs' counsel. The majority of this cost was covered by the Company's insurance. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
September&nbsp;21, 2007 a second stockholder class action was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its current
and former senior executives. The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of the Company's current and former officers made statements to the investing public which misrepresented material
facts about the business and operations of the Company, or omitted to state material facts required in order for the statements made by them not to be misleading, causing the price of the Company's
stock to be artificially inflated in violation of provisions of the Exchange Act, as amended. It alleges that subsequent disclosures establish the misleading nature of these earlier disclosures. The
complaint seeks monetary damages plus interest as well as costs and disbursements of the lawsuit. On October&nbsp;10, 2007, a third stockholder class action was filed in the United States District
Court, Southern District of New York, against the Company and certain of its current and former senior executives. This complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of the Company's current and
former officers made statements to the investing public which misrepresented material facts about the business and operations of the Company, or omitted to state material facts required in order for
the statements made by them not to be misleading, thereby causing the price of the Company's stock to be artificially inflated in violation of provisions of the Exchange Act, as amended. According to
this complaint, subsequent disclosures establish the misleading nature of these earlier disclosures. This complaint seeks, among other relief, compensatory damages plus interest, and costs and
expenses of the lawsuit, including counsel and expert fees. These two actions have been consolidated and the plaintiff filed a consolidated amended class action complaint on February&nbsp;28, 2008.
The Company's motion to dismiss was denied by the court on July&nbsp;18, 2008. The outcome of this litigation is uncertain and no estimate can be made at this time of any potential loss or range of
losses. While we believe there are valid defenses to the claims and we
will defend ourselves vigorously, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of this litigation. The litigation could distract our management and directors from the Company's affairs, the costs and
expenses of the litigation could have a material adverse on effect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows and an unfavorable outcome could adversely affect the
reputation of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
or about July&nbsp;12, 2006, Joy Fong, a former Disney Store manager in the San Francisco district, filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary Hoop Retail
Stores,&nbsp;LLC in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. The lawsuit alleges violations of the California Labor Code and California Business and Professions Code and sought class
action certification on behalf of Ms.&nbsp;Fong and other individuals similarly situated. We filed our answer on August&nbsp;11, 2006 denying any and all liability, and on January&nbsp;14, 2007,
Ms.&nbsp;Fong filed an amended complaint, adding Disney as a defendant. Effective as of March&nbsp;26, 2008, the prosecution of this lawsuit against Hoop was stayed under the automatic stay
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code by reason of Hoop's petition for relief filed that same day. The case is currently proceeding against the other defendants and, on December&nbsp;18, 2008, the
Court granted the plaintiff's motion for class certification on the misclassification claim. The outcome of this litigation is uncertain; while the Company believes there are valid defenses to the
claims, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of loss or range of loss that might be incurred as a result of this matter, but the Company does not believe that an adverse decision in this
case would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
or about September&nbsp;28, 2007, Meghan Ruggiero filed a complaint against the Company and its subsidiary, Hoop Retail Stores,&nbsp;LLC, in the United States District Court,
Northern District of Ohio on behalf of herself and other similarly situated individuals. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACTA") and seeks class
certification, an award of statutory and punitive damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and injunctive relief. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January&nbsp;25, 2008. Effective as of
March&nbsp;26, 2008, the prosecution of this lawsuit against Hoop was stayed under the automatic stay provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code by reason of Hoop's petition for relief filed that same
day. On March&nbsp;2, 2009, the Court granted the plainitff's motion to dismiss the Company as a defendant and to replace it with its subsidiary, The Children's Place Services Company,&nbsp;LLC.
While the Company believes there are valid defenses to the claims and will defend itself vigorously, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of this litigation but the Company does not believe
that an adverse decision in this case would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are also involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, any ultimate liability arising out of these proceedings will not
have a material effect on the Company's financial condition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company received a cash dividend of approximately $45&nbsp;million from its Hong Kong subsidiary. The Company has provided U.S. tax on its
foreign earnings associated with the subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Shanghai since it is no longer permanently reinvested in these earnings. The Company's fiscal 2007 tax provision was increased by
approximately $6.1&nbsp;million due to this transaction. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company received a one time cash dividend of approximately $17&nbsp;million from some of its Canadian subsidiaries. This dividend brought with it
approximately $24&nbsp;million of foreign tax credits. These foreign tax credits can be utilized to reduce U.S. income tax and expire in 2016. The Company's fiscal 2006 tax provision was reduced by
approximately $9.5&nbsp;million after the effect of this transaction. Foreign tax credits are allowed to be carried back one year and carried forward for 10&nbsp;years. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of January&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company has not provided for Federal taxes on approximately $62.3&nbsp;million of unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries located in Canada
and Barbados. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings to fund expansion in these markets. Accordingly, the Company has not provided any provision for income tax expense in excess of foreign
jurisdiction income tax requirements relative to such unremitted earnings in the accompanying financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
company has an estimated Federal Consolidated Net Operating Loss (NOL) of approximately $78.9&nbsp;million as of January&nbsp;31, 2009. These NOLs will expire in fiscal 2027 and
2028. The company also has estimated foreign tax credit carryover (FTC) of approximately $15.2&nbsp;million which will expire between 2016 and 2018 </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred
tax assets relating to tax benefits of equity compensation have been reduced to reflect exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted shares during the fiscal year ended
January&nbsp;31, 2009 to the extent recognized for financial statement purposes. Some exercises resulted in tax deductions in excess of previously recorded benefits at the time of grant. Although
these additional tax benefits were reflected in the NOL disclosed above, pursuant to SFAS&nbsp;123R, they are not recognized in the deferred tax balances until the deduction reduces taxes payable.
Since the windfall deductions do not reduce our current taxes payable in Fiscal 2008 due to the NOL generated in the current year, these windfall tax benefits are not reflected in our NOLs in the
deferred tax assets disclosed above. Windfalls included in NOL balance but not reflected in the deferred tax assets were approximately $2.6&nbsp;million for Fiscal 2008. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become realizable. Management
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the projections for future taxable
income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are realizable as of January&nbsp;31, 2009, management believes the Company has recorded an amount that is more likely than not realizable
related to the benefits of these assets. </FONT></P>

<BR>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>The
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") commenced an examination of the Company's U.S. consolidated income tax returns for the years 2004 through 2006 during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. As of
January&nbsp;31, 2009 the exam is in its final stages and the Company expects to conclude the audit in first quarter of fiscal 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes&#151;An Interpretation of FASB Statement 109" ("FIN&nbsp;48") on
February&nbsp;4, 2007. FIN&nbsp;48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement
No.&nbsp;109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement criteria for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a
tax return. Under FIN&nbsp;48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is
more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50%
likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN&nbsp;48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
cumulative effect of adopting FIN&nbsp;48 was an approximate $6.6&nbsp;million decrease to beginning retained earnings as of February&nbsp;4, 2007. Consistent with the
provisions of FIN&nbsp;48, the Company reclassified approximately $6.2&nbsp;million of income tax liabilities from current to non-current liabilities because payment of cash is not
anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date and increased its tax reserves approximately $15.1&nbsp;million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was
approximately $21.3&nbsp;million. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits on February&nbsp;4, 2007, is a net amount of approximately $12.8&nbsp;million that, if recognized, would
favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate and a balance of approximately $8.5&nbsp;million relating to offsetting tax benefits associated with the federal tax benefit from state income
taxes, the federal and state tax benefit of interest, and timing adjustments. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, is as follows (in thousands): </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> 12. INCOME TAXES (Continued) </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approximately
$12.4&nbsp;million of unrecognized tax benefits at January&nbsp;31, 2009 would affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. The company believes it is
reasonably possible that there may be a reduction of approximately $6.3&nbsp;million of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12&nbsp;months as a result of IRS and state audit settlements and
payments. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of the provision for income taxes. At January&nbsp;31, 2009 and February&nbsp;2, 2008 accrued
interest and penalties included in the FIN&nbsp;48 reserve amounted to approximately $5.5&nbsp;million and $7.0&nbsp;million, respectively. During fiscal 2008, the Company recognized a benefit
for interest and penalties of approximately $0.4&nbsp;million and $0.9&nbsp;million, net of tax benefit, respectively. The Company recorded approximately $1.6&nbsp;million of FIN&nbsp;48
benefit during the fiscal year ended January&nbsp;31, 2009, which is included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> 13. SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLANS  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has adopted The Children's Place 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), which qualifies under Section&nbsp;401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan established to provide retirement benefits for employees. The 401(k) Plan is employee funded up to an elective annual deferral and also provides
for the Company to make matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
401(k) Plan is available for all employees who have completed 90&nbsp;days of service with the Company. Following guidance in IRS Notice 98-52 related to the
design-based alternative, or "safe harbor," 401(k) plan method, the Company has modified its 401(k) Plan regarding future Company match contributions for non-highly compensated associates,
as defined in the Code. For non-highly compensated associates, the Company matches the first 3% of the participant's contribution and 50% of the next 2% of the participant's contribution
and the Company match contribution vests immediately. For highly compensated associates, the Company matches the lesser of 50% of the participant's contribution or 2.5% of the participant's covered
compensation and the Company match contribution vests over five years. The Company's Fiscal 2008 Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2006 matching contributions were approximately $2.1&nbsp;million,
$2.0&nbsp;million and $1.8&nbsp;million, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
statutory requirements, the Company contributes to retirement plans for its Canadian and Asian operations. Contributions under these plans were approximately $0.2&nbsp;million in
each of Fiscal 2008 and Fiscal 2007, and $0.1&nbsp;million in Fiscal 2006. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> 14. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company operates in one segment; retail sales of children's apparel and accessories. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues

each located in Secaucus, N.J. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will be relieved of its lease obligations for both properties and will relocate to another building owned by the same
landlord also located in Secaucus, N.J. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will make cash payments of $6.4&nbsp;million to exit the existing leases. The Company anticipates capital expenditures
of approximately $15 to $20&nbsp;million to build out the new facility, with a move-in date in the fall of 2009. Leases for certain auxiliary offices are expiring in fiscal 2009 and
employees based in those locations will also move into the new facility. </FONT></P>

purpose of this Equity Incentive Plan is to advance the interests of the
Corporation by encouraging and enabling the acquisition of a larger personal
proprietary interest in the Corporation by key employees and directors of the
Corporation and its Subsidiaries upon whose judgment and keen interest the
Corporation is largely dependent for the successful conduct of its operations
and by providing such key employees and directors with incentives to put forth
maximum efforts for the success of the Corporation&#146;s business. It is
anticipated that the acquisition of such proprietary interests in the
Corporation and such incentives will stimulate the efforts of such key
employees and directors on behalf of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and
strengthen their desire to remain with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. It
is also expected that such incentives and the opportunity to acquire such a
proprietary interest will enable the Corporation and its Subsidiaries to
attract desirable employees and directors.</p>

achievement of one or more objective performance goals established by the
Committee, which shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or
any combination of the following: revenue growth; booking of orders; earnings,
or some derivative thereof (including earnings before interest and taxes,
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or earnings per
share); operating income; pre- or after-tax income; cash flow; net earnings;
return on equity; return on capital (including return on total capital or

of a Subsidiary, division, business unit or product line of the Corporation, or
based upon the relative performance of other companies or upon comparisons of
any of the indicators of performance relative to other companies. The Committee
may also exclude the impact of an event or occurrence which the Committee

including, without limitation, the payment of Rent, Landlord may use, apply or
retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for
the payment of any Rent or any other sums as to which Tenant is in default or
for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of

Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the
monies deposited herein as security, and neither Landlord nor its successors or

use of the Security Deposit, other than for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Lease, shall be deemed a default of this Lease. In the event
the Demised Premises are sold and the Security Deposit is transferred to the
contract vendee, Landlord shall obtain and provide to Tenant a certification
executed by the contract vendee confirming receipt of the Security Deposit by
the latter.</font></p>

Letter of Credit to cure any default of Tenant or for any purpose authorized by
section 8.01(a) of this Lease and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall, upon
demand, additionally fund the Letter of Credit with the amount so drawn so that
Landlord shall have the full deposit on hand at all times during the Term of

Date of this Lease.&#160; Upon Landlord&#146;s
prior consent, the Letter of Credit may be of the type which is automatically
renewed on an annual basis (Annual Renewal Date), provided however, in such

Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord a substitute irrevocable Letter of
Credit, in the amount stated above, on or before thirty (30) days prior to the
next Annual Renewal Date, said failure shall be deemed a default under this

treat the same as a default in the payment of Rent or any other default and
pursue the appropriate remedy.&#160; In
addition, and not in limitation, Landlord shall be permitted to draw upon the
Letter of Credit as in the case of any other default by Tenant under the Lease.</font></p>

to this Article&nbsp;24.&#160; Landlord shall
use its best efforts to make such repair or restoration promptly and in such

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">39.01. Tenant
expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made and is not making,
and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not relying upon, any
warranties, representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that
the same are expressly set forth in this Lease or in any other written
agreement(s)&nbsp;which may be made between the parties concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Lease.&#160;
All understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties are
merged in this Lease and any other written agreement(s)&nbsp;made concurrently
herewith, which alone fully and completely express the agreement of the parties
and which are entered into after full investigation.&#160; Neither party has relied upon any statement
or representation not embodied in this Lease or in any other written agreement(s)&nbsp;made
concurrently herewith.&#160; The submission of
this Lease to Tenant does not constitute by Landlord a reservation of, or an
option to Tenant for, the Demised Premises, or an offer to lease on the terms
set forth herein and this Lease shall become effective as a lease agreement
only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.</font></p>

agreement shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge,
terminate or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in part, unless
such agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this Lease and is signed by
the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, waiver,
release, discharge, termination or effectuation of abandonment is sought.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">39.03. If Tenant
shall at any time request Landlord to sublet or let the Demised Premises for
Tenant&#146;s account, Landlord or its agent is authorized to receive keys for such
purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease,
and Tenant hereby releases Landlord of any liability for loss or damage to any
of the Tenant&#146;s Property in connection with such subletting or letting.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">39.05. Except for
Tenant&#146;s obligations to pay Rent, the time for Landlord or Tenant, as the case
may be, to perform any of its respective obligations hereunder shall be
extended if and to the extent that the performance thereof shall be prevented
due to any Unavoidable Delay.&#160; Except as
expressly provided to the contrary, the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall
not be affected, impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord have any liability
whatsoever to Tenant, (a)&nbsp;because Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is
delayed in fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Lease due to any of
the matters set forth in the first sentence of this Section&nbsp;39.05, or (b)&nbsp;because
of any failure or defect in the supply, quality or character of electricity,

reason beyond Landlord&#146;s reasonable control.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">39.07. If Tenant
shall request Landlord&#146;s consent and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such
consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by
Landlord of its consent; Tenant&#146;s sole remedy shall be an action for specific
performance or injunction, and such remedy shall be available only in those
cases where Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably
withhold or delay its consent or where as a matter of law Landlord may not unreasonably
withhold its consent.</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;">39.08. If an
excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to or under the Building, or shall
be authorized to be made, Tenant shall, upon mutually acceptable terms and
during mutually acceptable hours, afford to the Person causing or authorized to
cause such excavation, license to enter the Demised Premises for the purpose of
performing such work as said Person shall reasonably deem necessary or
desirable to preserve and protect the Building from injury or damage and to
support the same by proper foundations, without any claim for damages or
liability against Landlord and without reducing or otherwise affecting Tenant&#146;s
obligations under this Lease.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">39.09. Tenant
shall not exercise its rights under Article&nbsp;15 or any other provision of
this Lease in a manner which would violate Landlord&#146;s union contracts or create
any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption or dispute or any interference
with the business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the Building.</font></p>

casualty in the Demised Premises, (c)&nbsp;any damage to or defect in the

action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease may be brought in
the Courts of the State of New Jersey, or the Federal District Court for the
District of New Jersey, as Landlord may elect. By execution and delivery of
this Lease, Tenant hereby irrevocably accepts and submits generally and
unconditionally for itself and with respect to its properties, to the
jurisdiction of any such court in any such action or proceeding, and hereby
waives in the case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of
the State of New Jersey, or Federal District Court for the District of New
Jersey, any defenses based on jurisdiction, venue or forum non conveniens.&#160; If any provision of this Lease shall be invalid
or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected and shall
be enforced to the extent permitted by law.&#160;
The table of contents, captions, headings and titles in this Lease are

provision of this Lease on Tenant&#146;s part to be performed, shall be deemed and
construed as a separate and independent covenant of Tenant, not dependent on

examine Landlord&#146;s books and records with respect to any Additional Charge
imposed under this Lease, such examination shall be conducted at Tenant&#146;s sole
cost and expense and shall be conditioned upon Tenant retaining an independent
accounting firm for such purposes which shall not be compensated on any type of
contingent fee basis with respect to such examination.&#160; Wherever in this Lease or by law Landlord is
authorized to charge or recover costs and expenses for legal services or
attorneys&#146; fees, same shall include, without limitation, the reasonable actual
costs and expenses for in-house or staff legal counsel or outside counsel at
rates not to exceed the reasonable and customary charges for any such services
as would be imposed in an arms length third party agreement for such services.</font></p>

Executive such amounts for income tax, social security, unemployment
compensation, excise taxes and other taxes and penalties as in the judgment of Employer
is required to comply with applicable laws and regulations<u>.</u>&#160; This Agreement is intended

employment from Employer unless she would be considered to have incurred a
&#147;separation from service&#148; from Employer within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation &#167;1.409A-1(h).&#160; For purposes of
Section&nbsp;409A, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a
separate payment. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate
the calendar year of any payment hereunder.&#160;
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, if
Executive is a &#147;specified employee&#148; (determined in accordance with
Section&nbsp;409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section&nbsp;1.409A-3(i)(2))

Section&nbsp;409A of the Code and (ii)&nbsp;cannot be paid or provided in a
manner otherwise provided herein or otherwise without subjecting Executive to
additional tax, interest and/or penalties under Section&nbsp;409A of the Code,
then any such payment, benefit or entitlement that is payable during the first
6 months following the date of Executive&#146;s termination of employment shall be
paid or provided to Executive (or to Executive&#146;s estate, if applicable) in a
lump sum cash payment (together with interest on such amount during the period
of such restriction at a rate, per annum, equal to the applicable federal
short-term rate (compounded monthly) in effect under
Section&nbsp;1274(d)&nbsp;of the Code on the date of termination) on the
earlier of (x)&nbsp;Executive&#146;s death or (y)&nbsp;the first business day of the
seventh calendar month immediately following the month in which Executive&#146;s
termination of employment occurs.&#160; All
reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in
accordance with the requirements of Section&nbsp;409A of the Code, including,
where applicable, the requirement that (i)&nbsp;any reimbursement is for
expenses incurred during Executive&#146;s lifetime (or during a shorter period of
time specified in this Agreement), (ii)&nbsp;the amount of expenses eligible
for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible
for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii)&nbsp;the reimbursement of
an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year

reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.&#148;</font></p>
