NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentationOn June 1, 2010, Games Acquisition Corp. (Holdings), a newly-formed Delaware corporation owned by Oak Hill Capital Partners III, L.P. and Oak Hill Capital Management Partners III, L.P. (collectively, Oak Hill) acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Dave & Busters Holdings, Inc. (D&B Holdings) from Wellspring Capital Partners III, L.P. (Wellspring) and HBK Main Street Investors L.P. (HBK and, together with Wellspring, the Sellers). In connection therewith, Games Merger Corp., a newly-formed Missouri corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, merged (the OH Merger) with and into D&B Holdings wholly-owned, direct subsidiary, Dave & Busters, Inc. (with Dave & Busters, Inc. being the surviving corporation in the OH Merger). After the acquisition transactions described above (collectively, the Acquisition), Oak Hill indirectly controls approximately 96% and certain members of our Board of Directors and management control approximately 4% of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings. Subsequent to the transactions described above, Holdings changed its name to Dave & Busters Parent, Inc.
D&B Holdings owns no other significant assets or operations other than all of the common stock of Dave & Busters, Inc. References to Dave & Busters, the Company, we, us, and our are references to Dave & Busters, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
As more fully described in Note 2, the Acquisition is being accounted for in accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations and, accordingly has resulted in the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value.
Our one industry segment is the ownership, operation and licensing of high-volume entertainment and dining venues under the names Dave & Busters and Dave & Busters Grand Sports Café. As of August 1, 2010, there were 57 company-owned locations in the United States and Canada and one franchise location in Canada. Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday after the Saturday closest to January 31. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. We expect significant fluctuations in quarterly results due to timing of new unit openings and seasonality associated with the year-end holidays. All dollar amounts are presented in thousands, unless otherwise noted, except share amounts.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require operating results for Dave & Busters Inc. prior to the Acquisition completed June 1, 2010 to be presented as the Predecessors results in the historical financial statements. Operating results subsequent to the Acquisition are presented as the Successors results and include all periods including and subsequent to June 1, 2010. There have been no changes in the business operations of the Company due to the Acquisition.
Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalentsWe consider amounts receivable from credit card companies and all highly liquid temporary investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounting for income taxesWe use the asset and liability method for recording income taxes, which recognizes the amount of current and deferred taxes payable or refundable at the date of the financial statements as a result of all events that are recognized in the financial statements and as measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws. We also recognize liabilities for uncertain income tax positions for those items that meet the more likely than not threshold.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment and evaluation of uncertainties in the interpretation of state tax regulations. As a result, we have established accruals for taxes that may become payable in future years as a result of audits by tax authorities. Tax accruals are reviewed regularly pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. Tax accruals are adjusted as events occur that affect the potential liability for additional taxes, such as the expiration of statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits, identification of additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, or the issuance of statutory or administrative guidance or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular issue. Accordingly, we may experience significant changes in tax accruals in the future, if or when such events occur.

DAVE & BUSTERS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
As of August 1, 2010, we have accrued approximately $2,092 of unrecognized tax benefits, including an additional amount of approximately $1,093 of penalties and interest. We currently anticipate that approximately $1,020 of unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations during fiscal 2010. Future recognition of potential interest or penalties, if any, will be recorded as a component of income tax expense. Recognition of interest and penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expense. Because of the impact of deferred income tax accounting, $1,359 of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.
As a result of the tax consequences associated with certain Acquisition related expenses between the seller and the acquirer, the Company generated certain tax attributes which were accounted for in accordance with current accounting guidance related to share based payments. These attributes were measured and recorded as deferred tax assets based on fair value adjustments as a result of the Acquisition and the application of business combination accounting.
Comprehensive income Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. In addition to net income (loss), unrealized foreign currency translation gain (loss) related to our Canadian operations is included in comprehensive income.
Recent accounting pronouncements In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value and requires companies to provide additional disclosures based on that hierarchy. The three-levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1 defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date, Level 2 defined as pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, Level 3 defined as pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. Effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, disclosure of the amount of and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements is required. The amendment also clarified that for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements are required to be disclosed. The adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, a reporting entity should separately present information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in its reconciliation of Level 3 recurring fair value measurements. This accounting guidance is not expected to materially affect the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
Review of subsequent events In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company performed a review for subsequent events through the date of this report. No recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted.
Note 2: Merger with Oak Hill Capital Partners
On the closing date of the Acquisition described in Note 1, the following events occurred:
| All outstanding shares of D&B Holdings common stock, other than shares held by Holdings were converted into the right to receive the per share acquisition consideration; |
| All vested options to acquire D&B Holdings common stock were converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the difference between the per share exercise price and the per share acquisition consideration without interest; |
| We retired all outstanding debt and accrued interest related to the Predecessors senior credit facility and senior notes; |
| We issued $200,000 of 11% senior notes due 2018 (New Senior Notes); |
| We entered into a senior secured credit facility which provides for senior secured financing of up to $200,000 consisting of: |
| a $150,000 term loan facility with a maturity on June 1, 2016, and |
| a $50,000 revolving credit facility, including a sub-facility of up to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1,000 for borrowings in Canadian dollars by our Canadian subsidiary, a letter of credit sub-facility, and a swingline sub-facility, with a maturity on June 1, 2015. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
The Acquisition resulted in a change in ownership of 100% of the Companys outstanding common stock and is accounted for in accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations and, accordingly resulted in the recognition of assets and liabilities assumed at fair value as of June 1, 2010. The purchase price paid in the Acquisition has been pushed down to the Companys financial statements and is allocated to record the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based on their fair value. The Acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities as of June 1, 2010 have been recorded based on preliminary valuation studies. The allocation of the purchase price is subject to change based on completion of such studies and the determination of other facts impacting fair value estimates. The adjustments, if any, arising out of the finalization of the allocation of the purchase price will not impact cash flow including cash payments of interest and rent. However, such adjustments could result in material increases or decreases to net income and earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Further revisions to the purchase price allocation will be made as additional information becomes available. We expect to finalize the purchase price prior to the end of fiscal year 2010.
The aggregate purchase price was $595,998 in cash and newly issued debt, as described above. The following table represents the allocation of the acquisition costs, including professional fees and other related costs, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values:

The goodwill of $262,594 arising from the Acquisition is largely attributable to the growth potential of the Company. As the Company does not have more than one operating segment, allocation of goodwill between segments is not required. A portion of the trademarks are deductible for tax purposes. No other intangibles, including goodwill, are deductible for tax purposes.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)
The fair value of other assets and deferred charges acquired includes notes receivable arising from sale-leaseback transactions on two properties with a fair value of $2,108. The gross amount due under the notes is $3,839, of which none is expected to be uncollectible.
Indefinite lived intangibles include tradenames in the amount of $79,000 and goodwill in the amount of $262,594 which are not subject to amortization, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually.
The Successor period transaction expenses consist of a $3,000 fee related to bridge loan financing required to complete the Acquisition and approximately $4,100 in charges for legal and professional services related to the Acquisition. The Predecessor period transaction expenses consist of approximately $4,280 in charges for legal and professional services related to the Acquisition. The bridge financing fee is reported as a component of interest expense, net and the legal and professional fees are reported as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Historically, the Predecessor has accounted for amusement smallwares as a component of inventory. Amusements smallwares inventory includes items classified in the following categories: electronics, general supplies, game parts, light bulbs and powercards. These supplies are necessary for the start-up and day-to-day amusement operation of a store and supply levels on hand remain relatively constant over time. The successor has elected to classify amusement smallwares as a component of fixed assets and depreciate the assets over an estimated useful life of five years. Replacements of amusement smallwares items will be expensed as incurred.
Changes in interest expense resulted from the newly issued debt and increases to amortization expenses were a result of the increased fair value assigned to the Companys trademarks.
Supplemental pro forma financial information The following supplemental unaudited pro forma results of operations assumes that the Acquisition occurred on the first day of the fiscal year for each period presented. This unaudited pro forma information should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the Acquisition had actually occurred on that date, nor the results that may be obtained in the future. Pro forma amounts reflect additional expenses incurred had the Acquisition occurred at the time as indicated above and consist primarily of interest, depreciation and amortization and income tax expenses.

Note 3: Casualty loss
On May 2, 2010, flooding occurred in Nashville, Tennessee causing considerable damage to the city and surrounding area. Our Nashville store sustained significant damage, as did the retail mall where our store is located. The store is covered by up to $25,000 in property and business interruption insurance subject to an overall deductible of one thousand dollars. We have initiated property insurance claims, including business interruption, with our insurers. We cannot estimate at this time when the store will be back in operation. We do have the right under our insurance coverage to relocate the store within the Nashville area or, at our election, to another metropolitan area.

Prior to June 1, 2010, we have reduced the carrying value of inventories and property and equipment, net at this location and recorded a corresponding $3,000 receivable (net of $500 payment received prior to August 1, 2010) related to the anticipated insurance proceeds for these items. We have also recorded a $2,141 receivable related to the anticipated proceeds for business interruption, flood clean up expenses and other miscellaneous expenses. The $5,141 insurance receivable is included in Other current assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. This receivable represents our estimate of the carrying value of net assets recoverable, reimbursement for business interruption, flood cleanup expenses and other miscellaneous expenses from our insurance policies based on the coverage in place and correspondence with our insurance carriers including notice of payment for initial business interruption claims. We have not recorded any gains or losses on fixed assets resulting from the flood with the exception of the one thousand dollar deductible which has been expensed.

Senior Credit Facility
In connection with the Acquisition, we terminated the Predecessors credit facility and entered into a new credit facility that provides (a) a $150,000 term loan facility with a maturity date of June 1, 2016 and (b) a $50,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 1, 2015. The $50,000 revolving credit facility includes (i) a $20,000 letter of credit sub-facility (ii) a $5,000 swingline sub-facility and (iii) a $1,000 (in US Dollar equivalent) sub-facility available in Canadian dollars to the Canadian subsidiary. The revolving credit facility will be used to provide financing for general purposes. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, we drew $150,000 under the term loan facility, $2,000 under the new revolving credit facility and had $5,641 in letters of credit outstanding. As of August 1, 2010, we had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility, borrowings of $149,625 under the term facility and $6,841 in letters of credit outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
The interest rates per annum applicable to loans, other than swingline loans, under our new senior secured credit facility are set periodically based on, (a) the defined prime rate in effect, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect or (c) a Eurodollar Rate (or, in the case of the Canadian revolving credit facility, a Canadian prime rate), (or, in the case of the Canadian revolving credit facility, a Canadian cost funds rate) for one-, two-, three- or six-month (or, if agreed by the applicable lenders, nine or twelve months) or, in relation to the Canadian revolving credit facility, 30-, 60-, 90- or 180-day interest periods chosen by us or our Canadian subsidiary, as applicable in each case (the Base Rate), plus an applicable margin percentage between 2.50% and 4.50%. Swingline loans bear interest at the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. The weighted average rate of interest on borrowings under our senior credit facility was 6.0% at August 1, 2010.
The new senior credit facility requires compliance with financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test and a maximum leverage ratio test. The Company will initially be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00 and a maximum leverage ratio of 5.25:1.00 as of October 31, 2010. The financial covenants will become more restrictive over time. The required minimum fixed charge coverage ratio increases annually to a required ratio of 1.30:1.00 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 and thereafter. The maximum leverage ratio decreases annually to a required ratio of 3.25:1.00 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 and thereafter. In addition, the new senior secured credit facility includes negative covenants restricting or limiting, Dave & Busters Holdings, Inc.s and its subsidiaries ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures and sell or acquire assets. Virtually all of the Companys assets are pledged as collateral for the senior secured credit facility.
The new senior secured credit facility also contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults and cross-acceleration to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, certain events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended from time to time (ERISA), material judgments, actual or asserted failures of any guarantee or security document supporting the new senior secured credit facility to be in full force and effect and a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the new senior secured credit facility would be entitled to take various actions, including acceleration of amounts due under the new senior secured credit facility and all other actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.
Senior notes In connection with the Acquisition on June 1, 2010, the Company closed a placement of $200,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The notes are general unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and mature on June 1, 2018. Interest on the notes compounds semi-annually and accrues at the rate of 11.0% per annum. On or after June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all, or from time-to-time, a part of the senior notes at redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) ranging from 105.5% to 100.0% plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior notes. Prior to June 1, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40.0% of the original principal amount of the notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 111.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As of August 1, 2010, our $200,000 of senior notes had an approximate fair value of $206,500 based on quoted market price.
The new senior notes restrict the Companys ability to incur indebtedness, outside of the new senior credit facility, unless the consolidated coverage ratio exceeds 2.00:1.00 or other financial and operational requirements are met. Additionally, the terms of the notes restrict the Companys ability to make certain payments to affiliated entities.

Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies
We have reached an agreement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on the terms and provisions of a Complaint and Agreement Containing Consent Order (the Order) that concludes and settles an investigation into our information security practices. The investigation related to a 2007 criminal attack upon our computer system during which approximately 130,000 payment cards used at eleven of our stores were compromised. The terms of the Order provide that we failed to provide reasonable and appropriate security for personal information on our computer networks. Specifically, we failed to (a) employ sufficient measures to detect and prevent unauthorized access to computer networks, (b) adequately restrict third-party access to our networks, (c) monitor and filter outbound traffic from our networks (to identify and block the unauthorized export of sensitive personal information), (d) limit access between in-store networks, and (e) limit access to our computer networks through wireless access points.
Under our settlement with the FTC, we are required to establish, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security program that is reasonably designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of personal information collected from or about consumers. This information security program will contain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to (a) identify material internal and external risks to the security, confidentiality, and integrity of personal information that could result in the unauthorized disclosure, misuse, loss, alteration, destruction, or other compromise of such information, (b) control the identified risks, and (c) ensure that our third-party service providers are capable of appropriately safeguarding personal information they receive from us. As part of the development of the information security program, for a ten-year period, we must obtain initial and biennial assessments and reports from an independent auditor that set out the safeguards implemented and maintained by us, and explain how such safeguards meet or exceed the protections required by the terms of the Order. The Order shall be binding upon us for twenty years. The Order does not require us to pay any fines or other monetary assessments and we do not believe that the terms of the Order will have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, or financial performance.
We are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. In the opinion of management, based upon consultation with legal counsel, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such legal proceedings and claims will not materially affect the consolidated results of our operations or our financial condition.
We lease certain property and equipment under various non-cancelable operating leases. Some of the leases include options for renewal or extension on various terms. Most of the leases require us to pay property taxes, insurance, and maintenance of the leased assets. Certain leases also have provisions for additional percentage rentals based on revenues.

Acquisition by Oak Hill Capital Partners
On June 1, 2010, Games Acquisition Corp. (Holdings), a newly formed Delaware corporation owned by Oak Hill Capital Partners III, L.P. and Oak Hill Capital Management Partners III, L.P. (collectively, Oak Hill) acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Dave & Busters Holdings, Inc. (D&B Holdings) from Wellspring Capital Partners III, L.P. (Wellspring) and HBK Main Street Investors L.P. (HBK and, together with Wellspring, the Sellers). In connection therewith, Games Merger Corp., a newly formed Missouri corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, merged (the OH Merger) with and into D&B Holdings wholly-owned, direct subsidiary, Dave & Busters, Inc. (with Dave & Busters, Inc. being the surviving corporation in the OH Merger). After the Acquisition, Oak Hill indirectly controls approximately 96% and certain members of our Board of Directors and management control approximately 4% of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings. Subsequent to the transactions described above, Holdings changed its name to Dave & Busters Parent, Inc.
On the closing date of the Acquisition, the following events occurred:
| All outstanding shares of D&B Holdings common stock, other than shares held by Holdings, were converted into the right to receive the per share acquisition consideration; |
| All vested options to acquire D&B Holdings common stock were converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the difference between the per share exercise price and the per share acquisition consideration without interest; |
| We retired all outstanding debt and accrued interest related to the Predecessors senior credit facility and senior notes; |
| We issued $200,000 of 11% senior notes due 2018 (New Senior Notes); |
| We entered into a new senior secured credit facility which provides for senior secured financing of up to $200,000 consisting of: |
| a $150,000 term loan facility with a maturity on June 1, 2016, and |
| a $50,000 revolving credit facility, including a sub-facility of up to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1,000 for borrowings in Canadian dollars by our Canadian subsidiary, a letter of credit sub-facility, and a swingline sub-facility, with a maturity on June 1, 2015. |
The Acquisition resulted in a change in ownership of 100% of the Companys outstanding common stock and is accounted for in accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations and, accordingly will result in the recognition of assets and liabilities assumed at fair value as of June 1, 2010. The purchase price paid in the Acquisition has been pushed down to the Companys financial statements and is allocated to record the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based on their fair value. The Acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities as of June 1, 2010 have been recorded based on preliminary valuation studies. The allocation of the purchase price is subject to change based on completion of such studies and the determination of other facts impacting fair value estimates. The adjustments, if any, arising out of the finalization of the allocation of the purchase price will not impact cash flow including cash interest and rent. However, such adjustments could result in material increases or decreases to net income and earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Further revisions to the purchase price allocation will be made as additional information becomes available.

The aggregate purchase price was $595,998 in cash and newly issued debt, as described above. The following table represents the allocation of the acquisition costs, including professional fees and other related costs, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values:

The goodwill of $262,594 arising from the Acquisition is largely attributable to the growth potential of the Company. As the Company does not have more than one operating segment, allocation of goodwill between segments is not required. A portion of the trademarks are deductible for tax purposes. No other intangibles, including goodwill, are deductible for tax purposes.
Expense Reimbursement Agreement
We have entered into an expense reimbursement agreement with Oak Hill Capital Management, LLC, concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition. Pursuant to this Agreement, Oak Hill Capital Management, LLC provides general advice to us in connection with our long-term strategic plans, financial management, strategic transactions and other business matters. The expense reimbursement agreement provides for the reimbursement of certain expenses of Oak Hill Capital Management, LLC. The initial term of the expense reimbursement agreement expires in June 2015 and after that date such agreement will renew automatically on a year-to-year basis unless one party gives at least 30 days prior notice of its intention not to renew.

Overview
We monitor and analyze a number of key performance measures in order to manage our business and evaluate financial and operating performance. These measures include:
Revenue. Revenues consist of food and beverage revenues as well as amusement and other revenues. Our revenues are primarily influenced by the number of stores in operation and comparable store revenue. Comparable store revenue growth reflects the change in year-over-year revenue for the comparable store base. We define the comparable store base to include those stores operating at the end of the fiscal period which were open for a full 18 months as of the beginning of each fiscal year. Comparable store sales growth can be generated by an increase in guest traffic counts or by increases in average dollars spent per customer. For the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010, we derived 35.9% of our total revenue from food sales, 14.6% from beverage sales, 48.5% from amusement sales and 1.0% from other sources. For the twenty-six weeks period ended August 1, 2010, we derived 35.2% of our total revenue from food sales, 15.2% from beverage sales, 48.7% from amusement sales, and 0.9% from other sources.
We continually monitor the success of current food and beverage items, the availability of new menu offerings, the menu price structure and our ability to adjust prices where competitively appropriate. With respect to the beverage component, we operate fully-licensed facilities, which means that we offer full beverage service, including alcoholic beverages throughout each store.
Our stores also offer an extensive array of amusements, including state-of-the-art simulators, high-tech video games, traditional pocket billiards and shuffleboard, as well as a variety of redemption games, which dispense coupons that can be redeemed for prizes in the Winners Circle. Our redemption games include basic games of skill, such as skeeball and basketball, as well as competitive racing, and individual electronic games of skill. The prizes in the Winners Circle range from small-ticket novelty items to high-end electronics, such as MP3 players and game systems. We review the amount of game play on existing amusements in an effort to match amusements availability with guest preferences. We intend to continue to invest in new games as they become available and prove to be attractive to guests. Our unique venue allows us to provide our customers with value driven food and amusement combination offerings such as our Eat & Play Combo. The Eat & Play Combo, allows customers to purchase a variety of entrée and game card pairings at various fixed price levels. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we introduced Half-Price Game Play Wednesdays, which allows guests to play virtually all of our games for one-half of the regular price on Wednesday during targeted periods of the year.
We believe that special events business is a very important component of our revenue because a significant percentage of our guests attending a special event are visiting a Dave & Busters for the first time. This is a very advantageous way to introduce the concept to new guests. Accordingly, a considerable emphasis is placed on the special events portion of our business.
Cost of products. Cost of products includes the cost of food, beverages and the Winners Circle redemption items. For the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010, the cost of food products averaged 23.8% of food revenue and the cost of beverage products averaged 23.9% of beverage revenue. The amusement and other cost of products averaged 17.1% of amusement and other revenues. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010, cost of food products averaged 24.2% of food revenue and the cost of beverage products averaged 23.6% of beverage revenue. The amusement and other cost of products averaged 16.0% of amusement and other revenues for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. The cost of products is driven by product mix and pricing movements from third-party suppliers. We continually strive to gain efficiencies in both the acquisition and use of products while maintaining high standards of product quality.
Operating payroll and benefits. Operating payroll and benefits consist of wages, employer taxes and benefits for store personnel. We continually review the opportunity for efficiencies principally through scheduling refinements.
Other store operating expenses. Other store operating expenses consist of store-related occupancy, store expenses, utilities, repair and maintenance and marketing costs.
Liquidity and cash flows. The primary source of cash flow is from our operating activities and availability under the revolving credit facility.
Store-level variability, quarterly fluctuations, seasonality, and inflation. We have historically operated stores varying in size from 29,000 to 66,000 square feet and have experienced significant variability among stores in volumes, operating results and net investment costs. Our new locations typically open with sales volumes in excess of their run-rate levels, which we refer to as a honeymoon effect. We expect our new store volumes and margins to be lower in the second full year of operations than in their first full year of operations, and to grow in line with the rest of our comparable store base thereafter. As a result of the substantial revenues associated with each new store, the timing of new store openings will result in significant fluctuations in quarterly results. We also expect seasonality to be a factor in the operation or results of the business in the future with anticipated lower third quarter revenues and higher fourth quarter revenues associated with the year-end holidays. The historically higher revenues during the first and fourth quarters will continue to be susceptible to the impact of severe weather on customer traffic and sales during those periods.
18
We expect that volatile economic conditions will continue to exert pressure on both supplier pricing and consumer spending related to entertainment and dining alternatives. Although, there is no assurance that our cost of products will remain stable or that federal or state minimum wage rates will not increase beyond amounts currently legislated, the effects of any supplier price increases or minimum wage rate increases are expected to be partially offset by selected menu price increases where competitively appropriate.

Thirteen Weeks Ended August 1, 2010 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended August 2, 2009
Revenues
Total revenues decreased 2.7% or $3,611 for second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. Comparable store revenue decreased 4.8%, or $5,840 for second quarter 2010 compared to second quarter 2009. Comparable special events revenues which accounted for 12.0% of consolidated comparable stores revenue for the second quarter of 2010 increased 0.6% or $89 compared to the second quarter of 2009.
The decreased revenues were derived from the following sources:

$ | (3,611 | ) |
Comparable store revenues were significantly impacted by the unfavorable macroeconomic environment affecting the restaurant/entertainment industry in general, and the effects of the global economic environment impacted our store locations as well.
Food sales at comparable stores decreased by $1,206, or 2.8% from $42,523 in the second quarter of 2009 to $41,317 in the second quarter of 2010. Sales at our comparable stores continued to show a shift away from the beverage component of our business towards our amusement offerings. Beverage sales at comparable stores decreased by $2,249, or 11.7% from $19,228 in the second quarter of 2009 to $16,979 in the second quarter of 2010. Comparable store amusement revenue in the second quarter of 2010 decreased by $2,311, or 4.0% from $58,351 in the second quarter of 2009 to $56,040 in the second quarter of 2010. Downward pressures on amusement sales were partially mitigated by our Half-Price Wednesday promotions and Power Card up-sell initiative, which provides greater game play value to our guests.
Non-comparable store revenues increased by a total of $2,360. Increases in revenues from new stores opened and joint venture interest acquired since November 24, 2008, of $4,903 were partially offset by a $2,543 revenue reduction caused by the temporary flood-related closure of our store in Nashville, Tennessee.
Our revenue mix was 50.5% for food and beverage and 49.5% for amusements and other for the second quarter of 2010. This compares to 50.6% and 49.4%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2009.
Cost of products
Cost of food and beverage decreased from $16,151 in the second quarter of 2009 to $15,396 in the second quarter of 2010. Cost of food and beverage declined 40 basis points to 23.9% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 24.3% for the second quarter of 2009 primarily due to lower grocery and alcoholic beverages.
Cost of amusement and other revenues increased from $10,055 in the second quarter of 2009 to $10,819 in the second quarter of 2010. The costs of amusements and other, as a percentage of amusements and other revenues increased 160 basis points to 17.1% of amusement and other revenue for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 15.5% for the second quarter of 2009. This increase is primarily a result of increased redemption costs driven by both a shift in guest game play toward redemption games and an increase in ticket redemption rates by our guests.
Operating payroll and benefits
Operating payroll and benefits decreased by $1,367, or 4.0%, from $33,752 in the second quarter of 2009 to $32,385 in the second quarter of 2010. Operating payroll and benefits declined 40 basis points to 25.3% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 25.7% for the second quarter of 2009. This decrease was primarily driven by initiatives designed to reduce hourly labor costs through improved scheduling, lower management costs resulting from an accounting centralization effort as well as labor savings associated with the centralization of a significant portion of our special events sales labor to a corporate call center.
20
Other store operating expenses
Other store operating expenses decreased by $1,341, or 3.0%, from $45,457 in the second quarter of 2009 to $44,116 in the second quarter of 2010. Other store operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased 10 basis points to 34.5% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 34.6% for the same period of 2009. The increase in other operating expense as a percent of total revenue was driven primarily by the deleveraging impact of occupancy costs on a lower sales base.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel, facilities and professional expenses for the various departments of our corporate headquarters. General and administrative expenses increased by $9,904, or 129.1%, from $7,672 in the second quarter of 2009 to $17,576 in the second quarter of 2010. Approximately $9,620 of the increase was due to professional fees and increased stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the Acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of fixed assets and the amortization of trademarks with finite lives. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $452, or 3.4%, from $13,168 in the second quarter of 2009 to $12,716 in the second quarter of 2010. Increases in depreciation from new store openings, maintenance capital expenditures and increased depreciation and amortization charges associated with fair value adjustments as a result of the Acquisition were offset by depreciation reductions resulting from certain operating assets being fully depreciated subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Pre-opening costs
Pre-opening costs include costs associated with the opening and organizing of new stores or conversion of existing stores, including pre-opening rent, staff-training and recruiting, and travel costs for employees engaged in such pre-opening activities. Pre-opening costs decreased by $775, or 73.7% from $1,052 in the second quarter of 2009 to $277 in the second quarter of 2010 due to shifts in the timing of new store openings.
Interest expense
Interest expense includes the cost of our debt obligations including the amortization of loan fees, adjustments to mark the interest rate swap contracts to fair value and any interest income earned. Interest expense increased by $4,770 from $5,635 in the second quarter of 2009 to $10,405 in the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, we incurred $3,000 in fees associated with a temporary bridge financing arrangement. Increased debt levels of our senior notes and senior credit facility as a result of the Acquisition elevated our interest expense in the quarter by approximately $1,500.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes consisted of an aggregate income tax benefit of $6,295 in the second quarter of 2010, and an income tax benefit of $1,478 in the second quarter of 2009. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to changes in the tax valuation allowance, the deduction for FICA tip credits, state income taxes and the impact of certain expenses, such as a portion of the transaction costs, that are not deductible for income tax purposes.
As a result of our experiencing cumulative losses before income taxes for the three-year period ended August 1, 2010, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of our federal and state deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. At August 1, 2010, we estimate an increase in our valuation allowance for the year ending January 30, 2011 in the amount of $357 will be required. The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during periods in which temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible.
We have previously adopted the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance limits the recognition of income tax benefits to those items that meet the more likely than not threshold on the effective date. As of August 1, 2010, we have accrued approximately $2,092 of unrecognized tax benefits, including an additional amount of approximately $1,093 of penalties and interest. During the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010, we increased our unrecognized tax benefit by $45 and increased our accrual for interest and penalties by $43. We currently anticipate that approximately $1,020 of unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations during fiscal 2010. Future recognition of potential interest or penalties, if any, will be recorded as a component of income tax expense. Recognition of interest and penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expense. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, $1,359 of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.
21
As a result of the tax consequences associated with certain Acquisition related expenses between the seller and the acquirer, the Company generated certain tax attributes which were accounted for in accordance with current accounting guidance related to share based payments. These attributes were measured and recorded as deferred tax assets based on fair value adjustments as a result of the Acquisition.
We file income tax returns which are periodically audited by various federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. We are generally no longer subject to federal, state, or foreign income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005.

Increased revenues from new stores opened and joint venture interest acquired since November 24, 2008, of $11,744 were partially offset by a $2,571 revenue reduction caused by the temporary flood-related closure of our store in Nashville, Tennessee.
Our revenue mix was 50.4% for food and beverage and 49.6% for amusements and other for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. This compares to 51.0% and 49.0%, respectively, for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009.
Cost of products
Cost of food and beverage revenues decreased from $33,557 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009 to $32,673 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. Cost of food and beverage products, as a percent of food and beverage revenue decreased 40 basis points to 24.0% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 compared to 24.4% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009. Margin pressure experienced in our seafood and produce cost categories were offset by lower costs, as a percent of revenue, in our grocery and alcoholic beverages categories.
Cost of amusements and other revenues increased from $19,605 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009 to $21,405 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. The costs of amusements and other, as a percentage of amusements and other revenues increased 120 basis points to 16.0% of amusement and other revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 compared to 14.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009. This increase is primarily a result of increased redemption costs driven by both a shift in guest game play toward redemption games and an increase in ticket redemption rates by our guests.
Operating payroll and benefits
Operating payroll and benefits decreased by $2,431 or 3.6%, from $68,284 in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009 to $65,853 in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. Operating payroll and benefits declined 90 basis points to 24.4% of revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 compared to 25.3% for the same period of 2009. This decrease in percentage of revenue was primarily driven by initiatives designed to reduce hourly labor costs through improved scheduling, lower management costs resulting from an accounting centralization effort as well as labor savings associated with the centralization of a significant portion of our special events sales labor to a corporate call center.
22
Other store operating expenses
Other store operating expenses increased by $1,661 or 1.9%, from $88,060 in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009 to $89,721 in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. Other store operating expenses increased 70 basis points from 32.6% of revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009 to 33.3% for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. This increase is primarily driven by the increase in occupancy expenses related to new stores and increased marketing spend related to national radio and on-line advertising.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel, facilities and professional expenses for the various departments of our corporate headquarters. General and administrative expenses increased by $11,117 or 73.7%, from $15,077 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009, to $26,194 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. Approximately $9,780 of the increase is due to increased professional fees and stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the Acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of fixed assets and the amortization of trademarks with finite lives. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $686, or 2.6%, from $25,902 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009 to $25,216 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010. Increases in depreciation from new store openings, maintenance capital expenditures and increased depreciation and amortization charges associated with fair value adjustments as a result of the Acquisition were offset by depreciation reductions resulting from certain operating assets being fully depreciated subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Pre-opening costs
Pre-opening costs include costs associated with the opening and organizing of new stores or conversion of existing stores, including pre-opening rent, staff-training and recruiting, and travel costs for employees engaged in such pre-opening activities. Pre-opening costs decreased by $730 from $2,196 in the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009 to $1,466 in the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 due to shifts in the timing of new store openings.
Interest expense
Interest expense includes the cost of our debt obligations including the amortization of loan fees, adjustments to mark the interest rate swap contracts to fair value and any interest income earned. Interest expense increased by $4,569 from $11,184 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009 to $15,753 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 primarily as a result of the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, we incurred $3,000 in fees associated with a temporary bridge financing arrangement. Increased debt levels of our senior notes and senior credit facility as a result of the Acquisition elevated our interest expense year-to-date by approximately $1,500.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes consisted of an aggregate income tax benefit of $3,222 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010 and a tax provision of $857 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2009. Our effective tax rate differs from statutory rates due to the deduction of FICA tip credits, state income taxes, and the impact of certain expenses, such as a portion of the transaction costs, that are not deductible for income tax purposes.
As a result of our experiencing cumulative losses before income taxes for the three-year period ended August 1, 2010, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of our federal and state deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. At August 1, 2010, we estimate an increase in our valuation allowance for the year ending January 30, 2011 in the amount of $357 will be required. The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during periods in which temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible.
We have adopted the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance limits the recognition of income tax benefits to those items that meet the more likely than not threshold on the effective date. As of August 1, 2010, we have approximately $2,092 of unrecognized tax benefits, including approximately $1,093 of penalties and interest. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2010, we decreased our unrecognized tax benefit by $106 and increased our accrual for interest and penalties by $92. We currently anticipate that approximately $1,020 of unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations during fiscal 2010. Future recognition of potential interest or penalties, if any, will be recorded as a component of income tax expense. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, $1,359 of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.
23
As a result of the tax consequences associated with certain Acquisition related expenses between the seller and the acquirer, the Company generated certain tax attributes which were accounted for in accordance with current accounting guidance related to share based payments. These attributes were measured and recorded as deferred tax assets based on fair value adjustments as a result of the Acquisition.
We file income tax returns which are periodically audited by various federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. We are generally no longer subject to federal, state or foreign income tax examinations for years prior to 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total cash requirements of the Acquisition of approximately $595,998 were used to (i) purchase common stock and outstanding options, ii) repay in full all funds borrowed under the existing credit facility, and terminate such facility; and (iii) to pay certain fees, costs and expenses related to the Acquisition. These financing requirements were financed through a cash equity contribution of $245,498 by affiliates of Oak Hill, certain members of our Board of Directors and management, proceeds from a new $200,000 senior secured credit facility and proceeds from the issuance of $200,000 in senior notes.
In connection with the Acquisition, we terminated the Predecessors credit facility and entered into a new credit facility that provides (a) a $150,000 term loan facility with a maturity date of June 1, 2016 and (b) a $50,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 1, 2015. The $50,000 revolving credit facility includes (i) a $20,000 letter of credit sub-facility (ii) a $5,000 swingline sub-facility and (iii) a $1,000 (in US Dollar equivalent) sub-facility available in Canadian dollars to the Canadian subsidiary. The revolving credit facility will be used to provide financing for general purposes. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, we drew $150,000 under the term loan facility, net of $1,500 discount, $2,000 under the new revolving credit facility and had $5,641 in letters of credit outstanding. At August 1, 2010, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility, borrowings of $149,625 under the term facility and $6,841 in letters of credit outstanding.
The interest rates per annum applicable to loans, other than swingline loans, under our new senior secured credit facility are set periodically based on, (a) the defined prime rate in effect, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect or (c) a Eurodollar Rate (or, in the case of the Canadian revolving credit facility, a Canadian prime rate) (or, in the case of the Canadian revolving credit facility, a Canadian cost funds rate) for one-, two-, three- or six-month (or, if agreed by the applicable lenders, nine or twelve months) or, in relation to the Canadian revolving credit facility, 30-, 60-, 90- or 180-day interest periods chosen by us or our Canadian subsidiary, as applicable in each case (the Base Rate), plus an applicable margin percentage between 2.50% and 4.50%. Swingline loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin. The weighted average rate of interest on borrowings under our senior credit facility was 6.0% at August 1, 2010.
The new senior credit facility requires compliance with financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test and a maximum leverage ratio test. The Company will initially be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00 and a maximum leverage ratio of 5.25:1.00 as of October 31, 2010. The financial covenants will become more restrictive over time. The required minimum fixed charge coverage ratio increases each year to a required ratio of 1.30:1.00 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 and thereafter. The maximum leverage ratio decreases each year to a required ratio of 3.25:1.00 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 and thereafter. In addition, the new senior secured credit facility includes negative covenants restricting or limiting, Dave & Busters Holdings, Inc.s and its subsidiaries ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures and sell or acquire assets. Virtually all of the Companys assets are pledged as collateral for the senior secured credit facility.
The new senior secured credit facility also contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults and cross-acceleration to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, certain events under ERISA, material judgments, actual or asserted failures of any guarantee or security document supporting the new senior secured credit facility to be in full force and effect and a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the new senior secured credit facility would be entitled to take various actions, including acceleration of amounts due under the new senior secured credit facility and all other actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.
Senior notes. In connection with the Acquisition on June 1, 2010, the Company closed a placement of $200,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The notes are general unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Company and mature on June 1, 2018. Interest on the notes compounds semi-annually and accrues at the rate of 11.0% per annum. On or after June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all, or from time-to-time, a part of the senior notes at redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) ranging from 105.5% to 100.0% plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior notes. Prior to June 1, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40.0% of the original principal amount of the notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 111.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As of August 1, 2010, our $200,000 of senior notes had an approximate fair value of $206,500 based on quoted market price.
24
The new senior notes restrict the Companys ability to incur indebtedness, outside of the new senior credit facility, unless the consolidated coverage ratio exceeds 2.00:1.00 or other financial and operational requirements are met. Additionally, the terms of the notes restrict the Companys ability to make certain payments to affiliated entities.
We believe the cash flow from operations, together with borrowings under the senior credit facility, will be sufficient to cover working capital, capital expenditures, and debt service needs in the foreseeable future. Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal or interest on, or to refinance, the indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures, will depend on future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions, competitive environment and other factors as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010 and our Registration Statement on Form S-4, Registration No. 333-168759, as amended.
Cash Flows
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 1, 2010 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 2, 2009
As of August 1, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17,763 and available borrowing capacity of $43,159 under the senior credit facility.
Cash provided by operating activities was $6,756 for the twenty-six weeks of 2010 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $34,792 for the twenty-six weeks of 2009. In addition to the downward pressure on cash flow generated by comparable store sales declines, we incurred additional cash flow reductions associated to transaction expenses and debt costs.
Cash used in investing activities was $103,369 for the twenty-six weeks of 2010 compared to $20,357 for the twenty-six weeks of 2009. The investing activities for the twenty-six weeks of 2010 consist primarily of a capital investment of $245,498 by Oak Hill which in part funded the $330,803 cash disbursement paid to purchase Predecessor common stock and $18,067 in capital expenditures. The investing activities for the twenty-six weeks of 2009 primarily include $20,363 in capital expenditures.
We plan on financing future growth through operating cash flows, debt facilities, and tenant improvement allowances from landlords. We expect to spend approximately $37,000 ($33,000 net of cash contributions from landlords) in capital expenditures during fiscal year 2010. The 2010 expenditures are expected to include approximately $19,000 ($15,000 net of cash contributions from landlords) for new store construction and operating improvement initiatives, and $8,000 for games (excluding games for new stores) and $10,000 in maintenance capital.
On May 2, 2010, flooding occurred in Nashville, Tennessee causing considerable damage to the city and surrounding area. Our Nashville store sustained significant damage, as did the retail mall where our store is located. The store is covered by up to $25,000 in property and business interruption insurance subject to an overall deductible of one thousand dollars. We have initiated property insurance claims, including business interruption, with our insurers. We cannot estimate at this time when the store will be back in operation. We anticipate the cost to replace the assets destroyed by the flood will be covered by insurance proceeds, net of the one thousand dollar deductible amount. These costs are not included in the 2010 capital expenditure amounts noted above. We have not recorded any gains or losses on fixed assets resulting from the flood with the exception of the one thousand dollar deductible.
Cash provided by financing activities was $97,694 for the twenty-six weeks of 2010 compared to cash used in financing activities of $2,250 in the twenty-six weeks of 2009. The financing activities for the second quarter of 2010 include proceeds of $350,500, net of discount arising from our newly issued senior notes and senior secured credit facility, including a $2,000 draw on our revolver. The $2,000 revolver draw and first required paydown of the senior secured credit facility were made during the 62 day period ended August 1, 2010. The debt proceeds were used in part to fund the Acquisition and paydown existing debt, including accrued interest. Additionally, $12,681 was used to fund debt issuance costs on the newly issued debt instruments. The financing activities for the second quarter of 2009 include required paydowns under our senior credit facility of $2,250.

(1) | Our senior credit facility includes a $150,000 term loan facility and $50,000 revolving credit facility, including a sub-facility for borrowings in Canadian dollars by our Canadian subsidiary, a letter of credit sub-facility, and a swingline sub-facility. As of August 1, 2010, we had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility, borrowings of $149,625 under the term facility and $6,841 in letters of credit outstanding. |
(2) | The cash obligations for interest requirements consist of (1) interest requirements on our fixed rate debt obligations at their contractual rates, (2) interest requirements on variable rate debt obligations at rates in effect at August 1, 2010. |
(3) | Our operating leases generally provide for one or more renewal options. These renewal options allow us to extend the term of the lease for a specified time at an established annual lease payment. Future obligations related to lease renewal options that have not been exercised are excluded from the table above. |
Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Our current estimates are subject to change if different assumptions as to the outcome of future events were made. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and predicate those estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We make adjustments to our assumptions and judgments when facts and circumstances dictate. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ from the estimates we used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. A complete description of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010 and our Registration Statement on Form S-4, Registration No. 333-168759, as amended.
The Company has accounted for the Acquisition in accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations, whereby the purchase price paid is allocated to record the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at fair value on the closing date of the Acquisition. The Acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price have been recorded as of June 1, 2010. In connection with the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company has made estimates of the fair values of the long-lived and intangible assets based upon assumptions that are reasonable related to discount rates and asset lives utilizing currently available information, and in some cases, preliminary valuation results from independent valuation specialists. As of August 1, 2010, the Company recorded preliminary purchase accounting adjustments to the carrying value of property and equipment and intangible assets for tradenames and trademarks and to revalue rent related liabilities, among other matters. The allocation of the purchase price is subject to change based on completion of such studies. The adjustments, if any, arising out of the finalization of the allocation of the purchase price will not impact cash flow including cash interest and rent. However, such adjustments could result in material increases or decreases to net income and earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Further revisions to the purchase price allocation will be made as additional information becomes available.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures. Effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, disclosure of the amount and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements is required. The amendment also clarified that for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements are required to be disclosed. The adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, a reporting entity should separately present information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in its reconciliation of Level 3 recurring fair value measurements. This accounting guidance is not expected to materially affect the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
26
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to interest rate risk on short-term and long-term financial instruments carrying variable interest rates. The variable rate financial instruments consist of the outstanding borrowings on our term loan and our revolving credit facility. At August 1, 2010, $149,625 was outstanding under the term loan and no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The impact on our annual results of operations of a 1% interest rate change on the outstanding balance of these variable rate financial instruments as of August 1, 2010 would be approximately $1,496.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
On July 21, 2010, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Act (the Act) became law. The Act provides smaller companies and debt only issuers with a permanent exemption from the Sarbanes-Oxley internal control audit requirements. The permanent exemption applies only to the external audit requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Non-accelerated filers are still required to disclose managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our second quarter ended August 1, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q includes statements that are, or may deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms believes, estimates, anticipates, expects, intends, may, will or should or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Form 10-Q and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. An expanded discussion of these risk factors is contained in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010 and our Registration Statement on Form S-4, Registration No. 333-168759, as amended.
