Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Fiscal Year

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday nearest to January 31 of the following year. As used herein, the “third quarter of 2012” and the “third quarter of 2011” refer to the thirteen week periods ending October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011, respectively. “Year-to-date 2012” and “Year-to-date 2011” refer to the thirty-nine week periods ending October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011, respectively.

Estimates

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Seasonality

Seasonality

Our operations are seasonal in nature and consist of two principal selling seasons: Spring (the first and second quarters) and Fall (the third and fourth quarters). Generally, our highest sales volume occurs in the fourth quarter, which includes the holiday selling season. Accordingly, cash requirements are highest in the third quarter as our inventories build in advance of the holiday season. In addition, our quarterly results can be affected by the timing of new store openings and store closings, the amount of sales contributed by new and existing stores and the timing of certain holidays.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

The FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) to amend the authoritative literature in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). There have been a number of ASU’s to date that amend the original text of ASC. No ASU’s were issued by the FASB during the current period that (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are applicable to the Company or (iv) are expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

Fair Value

The FASB’s authoritative guidelines require the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

  •  

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments of $44,347, $71,960 and $36,071 as of October 27, 2012, January 28, 2012 and October 29, 2011, respectively, are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs.

 

  •  

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

 

  •  

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The Company determined that the fair value measurements related to the impaired long lived assets disclosed in Note 5 are derived from significant other observable inputs. These non-financial assets are measured on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances warrant.
