TOYS R US, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation
As used herein, the Company, we, us, or our means Toys R Us, Inc., and its subsidiaries,
except as expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires. The Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets as of May 2, 2009, January 31, 2009, and May 3, 2008, the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Deficit for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 and
May 3, 2008, have been prepared by us in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim reporting, and in accordance with the
requirements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments. In the opinion of management, the
financial statements include all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring
accruals, estimates, and assumptions that impact the financial statements) necessary to present
fairly the financial position at the balance sheet dates and the results of operations for the
thirteen weeks then ended. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 31, 2009, presented
herein, has been derived from our audited balance sheet included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2009. The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 and May 3,
2008 are not necessarily indicative of operating results of the full year.
On February 1, 2009, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS
160). SFAS 160 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in
subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within
the equity section but separate from the companys equity. SFAS 160 also requires the amount of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly
identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in ownership
interest be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain
or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. The presentation and
disclosure requirements of SFAS 160 were applied retrospectively. Other than the change in
presentation of noncontrolling interest, the adoption of SFAS 160 had no impact on the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reclassifications and Corrections of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we have included certain other income and expense items as
Other income, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which have historically been
presented as a net reduction in Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). As such, we
have restated other income and expense items of $20 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3,
2008, to correctly present these immaterial items separately from SG&A and have corrected this
presentation throughout the financial statements. The items included in this restatement primarily
relate to gift card breakage, credit card program, foreign exchange gains and losses and other
immaterial items. These changes had no effect on our previously reported Consolidated Net loss for
the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Gift card breakage
Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recognized breakage income when gift card
redemptions were deemed remote and the Company determined that there was no legal obligation to
remit the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant tax jurisdiction (Cliff Method). At the end of
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company concluded it had accumulated a sufficient level of
historical data from a large pool of homogeneous transactions to allow management to reasonably and
objectively determine an estimated gift card breakage rate and the pattern of actual gift card
redemptions. Accordingly, the Company changed its method for recording gift card breakage income to
recognize breakage income and derecognize the gift card liability for unredeemed gift cards in
proportion to actual redemptions of gift cards (Redemption Method).
In accordance with SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20 and Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154), we concluded that this accounting change represented a
change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle and accordingly,
accounted for the change as a change in estimate. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the effect
of the change in method of accounting did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.

As of May 2, 2009, the balance consisted of $50 million related to capital lease obligations
and $69 million related to finance obligations associated with capital projects. As of January
31, 2009, the balance consisted of $55 million related to capital lease obligations and $37
million related to finance obligations associated with capital projects. As of May 3, 2008, the
balance consisted of $31 million related to capital lease obligations and $17 million related to
finance obligations associated with capital projects. |
Our credit facilities, loan agreements and indentures contain customary covenants, including, among
other things, covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create
or permit liens on assets, or engage in mergers or consolidations. Certain of our agreements also
contain various and customary events of default with respect to the loans, including, without
limitation, the failure to pay interest or principal when the same is due under the agreements,
cross default provisions, the failure of representations and warranties contained in the agreements
to be true and certain insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the
principal amounts outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other
amounts owed thereunder, may be declared immediately due and payable by the lenders.
Due to the deterioration in the credit markets, many financial institutions have reduced and, in
some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers. We are dependent on the borrowings provided by
the lenders to support our working capital needs and capital expenditures. Currently we have funds
available for borrowings under our credit facilities to finance our operations through July 2010.
Our lenders may be unable to fund borrowings under their credit commitments to us if these lenders
face bankruptcy, failure, collapse
8
or sale. As of May 2, 2009, a lender who provides availability
of $53 million under our multi-currency revolving credit facility is unable to provide funding.
This credit facility provides that the failure of one lender to fund its commitment does not
relieve any other lenders of their obligations to fund their commitments. If our cash flow and
capital resources do not provide the necessary liquidity, it
could have a significant negative effect on our results of operations.
The total fair values of our Short-term borrowings and Long-term debt, with carrying values of $5.8
billion, $5.5 billion and $6.0 billion at May 2, 2009, January 31, 2009 and May 3, 2008, were $3.6
billion, $2.9 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively. The fair values of our Short-term borrowings
and Long-term debt are estimated using the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues and
other pertinent information available to management at the end of the respective periods.
Borrowing Availability
At May 2, 2009, we had no outstanding borrowings and a total of $102 million of outstanding letters
of credit under our $2.0 billion secured revolving credit facility, which expires on July 21,
2010. We had availability of $1.1 billion under the facility at May 2, 2009. In addition, at May 2,
2009, we had no outstanding borrowings and we had $281 million of availability, which excludes a
lender who is unable to provide funding of $53 million, under our multi-currency revolving credit
facility (£95 million and 145 million) which expires on July 21, 2010.
Toys-Japan Unsecured Credit Lines ($202 million and $25 million at May 2, 2009)
On March 31, 2008, Toys-Japan entered into an agreement with a syndicate of financial
institutions, which established two unsecured loan commitment lines of credit (Tranche 1 and
Tranche 2). Under the agreement, Tranche 1 is available in amounts of up to ¥20 billion ($202
million at May 2, 2009), which expires in fiscal 2011, and bears an interest rate of TOKYO INTER
BANK OFFERED RATE (TIBOR) plus 0.63% per annum. At May 2, 2009, we had outstanding Long-term debt
of $202 million under Tranche 1 with no remaining availability.
On March 30, 2009, Toys-Japan entered into an agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions
to refinance Tranche 2. As a result, Tranche 2 is available in amounts of up to ¥12.6 billion ($127
million at May 2, 2009), expiring in fiscal 2010, and bears an interest rate of TIBOR plus
0.63% per annum. At May 2, 2009, we had outstanding Short-term debt of $25 million under Tranche 2
with $102 million remaining availability. We paid fees of $1 million to refinance Tranche 2, which
were capitalized as deferred debt issuance costs and are amortized over the term of the agreement.
These agreements contain covenants, including, among other things, covenants that require Toys-Japan to maintain a certain minimum level of net assets and profitability during the agreement
terms. The agreement also restricts us from reducing our ownership percentage in Toys-Japan.
Guarantees
We currently guarantee 80% of Toys-Japans three installment loans from a third party in Japan,
totaling ¥3.4 billion ($34 million). These loans have annual interest rates of 2.6% 2.8% and
mature from 2012 to 2014 and are reported as part of the Toys-Japan bank loans of $151 million at
May 2, 2009. In addition, we have an agreement with McDonalds Holding Company (Japan), Ltd.
(McDonalds Japan), in which we promise to promptly reimburse McDonalds Japan for any amounts it
may be required to pay in connection with its guarantee of the remaining 20% of Toys-Japans
three installment loans.
3. Derivative instruments and hedging activities
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS
133) establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires the
recording of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet measured at
estimated fair value and the recognition of the unrealized gains and losses. The accounting for
derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivatives and the resulting designation. In
certain defined conditions, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge for a particular
exposure.
Variable Cash Flow Hedges
Certain of our derivative contracts qualify as variable cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. The
effective portion of a cash flow hedge is recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive (loss)
income; the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge is recorded to Interest expense. We evaluate
the effectiveness of the hedging relationships on an ongoing basis and recalculate changes in fair
values of the derivatives and the underlying hedged items separately. For our derivatives that are
designated under SFAS 133 as cash flow hedges, we recognized $1 million of hedge ineffectiveness
for the three months ended May 2, 2009. No material ineffectiveness was recorded for the three
months ended May 3, 2008. Reclassifications from Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income to
Interest expense primarily relate to realized Interest expense on interest rate swaps and the
amortization of gains (losses) recorded on previously
9
terminated swaps. We expect to reclassify a
net loss of approximately $30 million over the next 12 months to Interest expense from Accumulated
other comprehensive (loss) income.
Interest Rate Contracts
We have a variety of fixed and variable rate debt instruments and are exposed to market risks
resulting from interest rate fluctuations. In an effort to manage interest rate exposures, we
strive to achieve an acceptable balance between fixed and variable rate debt. We enter into
interest rate contracts such as interest rate swaps and/or caps to manage interest rate risk in
order to reduce our exposure to variability in expected future cash outflows attributable to the
changes in LIBOR and EURIBOR rates. Our interest rate contracts contain credit-risk-related
contingent features and are subject to master netting arrangements. Our interest rate contracts
have various maturity dates through April 2013. A portion of these derivative contracts qualify
for hedge accounting as variable cash flow hedges under SFAS 133.
The Company has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain credit-risk
related features. These agreements contain provisions where the Company could be declared in
default on its derivative obligations if the Company defaults on certain specified indebtedness.
Additionally, the Company has one agreement with a provision requiring the Company to maintain an
investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. As the Companys
rating is currently below investment grade, we are required to post collateral for this contract.
At May 2, 2009, liabilities related to agreements that contain credit-risk related features were
$54 million. The Company has a minimum collateral posting threshold with certain derivative
counterparties and has posted collateral of $48 million as of May 2, 2009.
Pursuant to our interest rate risk management strategies, on April 3, 2009, we entered into five
new forward-starting interest rate cap agreements to manage our future interest rate exposure. The
total amount paid for the caps was $15 million. The five interest rate caps have a combined
notional amount of $2.3 billion. Two of these interest rate caps are effective on January 4, 2011,
two on January 3, 2012 and one on January 2, 2014. All of the interest rate caps mature on April
1, 2015. Four of these interest rate caps (including 60% of one of these four) have been designated
as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133, hedging the variability of LIBOR based cash flows above the
strike price for each cap. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we did not enter into, change
or terminate any interest rate contracts.
Subsequent Event
On May 11, 2009, we extended the interest rate caps on the $800 million notional amount related to
the Secured Real Estate Loan. The amount paid to extend the caps was nominal. The interest rate
caps manage the variable cash flows associated with changes in the one month LIBOR above 7.00% and
mature in August 2010. The derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
We occasionally enter into foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge the U.S. dollar
merchandise purchases of our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, we enter into short-term,
cross-currency intercompany loans with our foreign subsidiaries as part of our global cash
management strategy. We economically hedge these short-term, cross-currency intercompany loans with
foreign currency forward contracts. As a result, changes in the value of these derivatives are
recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in Interest expense.
Our foreign exchange contracts contain some credit-risk-related contingent features and are subject
to master netting arrangements. These derivative contracts are not designated as hedges under SFAS
133 and typically mature within 12 months.

Refer to Note 4 entitled Fair value measurements for the fair value of our
derivative instruments classified within the fair value hierarchy. |
4. Fair value measurements
On February 1, 2009 and February 3, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
157) for nonfinancial assets and liabilities and financial assets and liabilities, respectively.
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to reported balances that are required
or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly,
the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.
11
Derivative Financial Instruments
Currently, we use derivative financial arrangements to manage a variety of risk exposures,
including interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt and foreign currency risk relating
to cross-currency intercompany lending. The valuation of these instruments is determined using
widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash
flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives,
including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate
curves, foreign exchange rates and implied volatilities.
To comply with the provisions of SFAS 157, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to
appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterpartys
nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative
contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any
applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and
guarantees.
Although certain inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs,
such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. As of May 2,
2009, we have transferred net assets of $5 million of new interest rate caps to Level 3 and
recognized an unrealized loss of $3 million for a total of $4 million in net liabilities within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The remaining derivative instruments have been classified as a
Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as of May 2, 2009. Changes in the fair value of our
derivative financial instruments are recorded in Interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less at acquisition. We have determined that our cash equivalents in their entirety are classified
as a Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
The table below presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as
of May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008, aggregated by level in the fair value hierarchy within which those
measurements fall.

The effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008 were based on our
forecasted annualized effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the
periods presented.
Our forecasted annualized effective tax rate was 43.9% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 compared
to 45.7% in the same period last year. The difference between our forecasted annualized effective
tax rates was primarily due to a decrease in taxable permanent adjustments, a reduction in state
tax expense, and a change in the mix of earnings between jurisdictions.
For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, the discrete impact on our effective tax rate was an
income tax benefit of $1 million related to state income taxes as well as changes to our liability
for uncertain tax positions. For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008, the discrete impact on our
effective tax rate was an income tax benefit of $3 million related to state income taxes.
6. Segments
In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we commenced operating our domestic business as a single Toys
R Us-Domestic (Domestic) operating segment in accordance with SFAS 131, Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Pursuant to this change, our reportable
segments are: Domestic, which provides toy and juvenile product offerings in 49 states and Puerto
Rico; and Toys R Us-International (International), which operates, licenses or franchises R
Us branded retail stores in 32 foreign countries with wholly-owned operations in Australia,
Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, and
consolidates the results of Toys R Us - Japan, Ltd. (Toys-Japan). Domestic and International
segments are also responsible for their respective internet operations. All intercompany
transactions between segments have been eliminated. Income tax information by segment has not been
included as taxes are calculated at a company-wide level and are not allocated to each segment.
Our percentages of Consolidated Net sales by product category for the thirteen weeks ended May 2,

7. Litigation and legal proceedings
Toysrus.com previously operated three co-branded on-line stores under a strategic alliance
agreement (Agreement) with Amazon.com (Amazon). On May 21, 2004, we filed a lawsuit against
Amazon and its affiliated companies in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Passaic
County (the New Jersey Trial Court) to terminate the Agreement. Amazon filed a counterclaim
against us and our affiliated companies. On March 31, 2006, the New Jersey Trial Court entered an
order (Order) terminating the Agreement and denying Amazons counterclaim. The parties each filed
Notices of Appeal with the Appellate Division. On June 2, 2006, Amazon filed a lawsuit against us
in the Superior Court of Washington, King County (the Washington Court) for money damages
allegedly arising from services it was required to provide to us during the wind-down period
pursuant to the Order. The Washington Court stayed the matter before it in favor of the New Jersey
proceedings. On March 24, 2009, the Appellate Division affirmed the New Jersey Trial Courts Order
with respect to the termination of the Agreement and denial of Amazons counterclaim, but remanded
to the New Jersey Trial Court for further proceedings on our claim that we are entitled to monetary
damages arising from Amazons breach of the Agreement. On April 23, 2009, Amazon petitioned the
New Jersey Supreme Court for certification of the Appellate Divisions decision for a discretionary
appeal to the New Jersey Supreme Court, and that petition was denied
on June 1, 2009.
In addition to the litigation discussed above, we are, and in the future, may be involved in
various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the ordinary course of business. The
results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or
not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of
management time and result in diversion of significant resources. The results of these lawsuits,
claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. However, we believe that the ultimate
resolution of these current matters will not have a material adverse effect on our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
8. Related party transactions
Transactions with the Sponsors We are owned by an investment group consisting of entities
advised by or affiliated with Bain Capital Partners LLC, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., and
Vornado Realty Trust (collectively, the Sponsors). The Sponsors provide management and advisory
services to us pursuant to an advisory agreement executed at the closing of the July 21, 2005
merger and recapitalization (Merger Transaction). We recorded management and advisory fees of $4
million for the first quarters of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
14
From time to time the Sponsors or their affiliates may acquire debt or debt securities issued by
the Company or its subsidiaries in open market transactions or through loan syndications. These
syndicates include affiliates of Vornado Realty Trust and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., all
equity owners of the Company. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008, the
interest amounts paid on such debt and debt securities held by related parties were $7 million and
$8 million, respectively. Refer to Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
entitled Short-term borrowings and long-term debt.
9. Reorganization
On June 10, 2008, we entered into a plan of reorganization pursuant to Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) §368(a) with Toys R Us Holdings, Inc. (Former Parent) under which our Former Parent
transferred all of its assets (including 1,000 shares of our Pre-Reorganization Common Stock (as
defined below)) and liabilities to us in exchange for us issuing 48,955,808 shares of our
Post-Reorganization Stock (as defined below) to Former Parent. In addition, pursuant to the plan of
reorganization, we assumed the obligations and succeeded the rights of Former Parent under the 2005
Management Equity Plan (Management Equity Plan). In order to effect the plan of reorganization,
we amended our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the Certificate of
Incorporation) on June 10, 2008, in order to authorize 55,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the Post-Reorganization Common Stock) in addition to the already existing
3,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Pre-Reorganization Common Stock).
After effecting the plan of reorganization, we amended and restated the Certificate of
Incorporation on June 10, 2008 in order to change the authorized capital to consist of only
55,000,000 shares of Post-Reorganization Common Stock. Immediately after the exchange, Former
Parent, pursuant to the plan of reorganization, was dissolved. In connection with the dissolution
of Former Parent, Former Parent distributed all of its assets (consisting solely of the
Post-Reorganization Common Stock) to its shareholders, in a ratio of one share of
Post-Reorganization Stock for each share of Former Parent common stock owned by each shareholder.
On June 10, 2008, our by-laws were also amended and restated in order to incorporate certain
Sponsor-related provisions formerly contained in the Former Parents by-laws.
Accordingly, our common stock is now held directly by the former shareholders of Former Parent,
including the Sponsors and certain members of management. In connection with the plan of
reorganization, we also amended certain agreements in order for the Company to assume the
responsibilities and obligations of Former Parent under those agreements, including the Advisory
Agreement among Former Parent, the Company and affiliates of our Sponsors, dated as of July 21,
2005, and the Management Equity Plan, pursuant to which certain members of management of our
Company hold common stock. We also assumed the responsibilities and obligations under the
Stockholders Agreement among Former Parent, affiliates of our Sponsors and certain other Persons,
dated as of July 21, 2005, which, among other things, contains provisions regarding the composition
of our Board of Directors and Sponsor approval of certain actions, including, but not limited to, a
change in control of the Company, the incurrence of certain indebtedness by the Company and certain
acquisitions and dispositions by the Company.
This reorganization did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
10. Acquisitions
In February 2009, the Company acquired the e-commerce websites eToys.com and BabyUniverse.com as
well as the parenting web site ePregnancy.com. Also, in February we acquired the Internet domain
Toys.com through a separate bankruptcy auction. The acquisitions did not have a material impact on
our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition, on May 28, 2009, the Company acquired the business assets of FAO Schwarz. Refer to
Note 12 entitled Subsequent events for further details.
11. Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, (SFAS 165), SFAS 165 establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is
effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied
prospectively. We do not expect SFAS 165 to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
On February 1, 2009, we adopted the fair value guidance related to nonfinancial assets and
liabilities, as prescribed by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157) as amended by
FASB Staff Position (FSP SFAS) 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement
No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,
FSP SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157: Fair Value Measurements, FSP SFAS
157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not
Active, and FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the
Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.
The provisions of SFAS 157 (as amended) will be applied at such time a fair value measurement of a
nonfinancial asset or nonfinancial liability is required, which may result in a fair value that is
materially different than would have
15
been calculated prior to the adoption of SFAS 157. The adoption of SFAS 157 (as amended) had
no material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 4 entitled
Fair value measurements for further details.
On February 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
ActivitiesAn Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 establishes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities with the intent to
provide financial statement users with an enhanced understanding of the entitys use of derivative
instruments, the accounting of derivative instruments and related hedged items under Statement 133
and its related interpretations, and the effects of these instruments on the entitys financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Other than the enhanced disclosures, the adoption
of SFAS 161 had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 3
entitled Derivative instruments and hedging activities for further details.
On February 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), as amended
by FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business
Combination That Arise from Contingencies. SFAS 141(R) states that all business combinations
(whether full, partial or step acquisitions) will result in all assets and liabilities of an
acquired business being recorded at their fair values. Certain forms of contingent consideration
and certain acquired contingencies will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. SFAS
141(R) also states acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred and restructuring costs
will be expensed in periods after the acquisition date. FSP SFAS 141(R)-1 addresses application
issues, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising
from contingencies in a business combination. The adoption of SFAS 141R (as amended) had no
material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of May 2, 2009; however, in
the future, the net effect of the adoption will be dependent upon acquisitions at that time.
On February 1, 2009, we adopted FSP SFAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets, (FSP SFAS 142-3). FSP SFAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The adoption
of FSP SFAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In April 2009, SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS 107)
and APB Opinion 28, Interim Financial Reporting (APB 28-1) were amended by FSP SFAS 107-1 and
APB Opinion 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP SFAS 107-1
and APB 28-1). This FSP enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of
fair value disclosures. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15,
2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We have adopted the
disclosure requirements for fair value of financial instruments, as prescribed by FSP SFAS 107-1
and APB 28-1, which did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
On February 1, 2009, we adopted, SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities as amended by FSP SFAS 115-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP SFAS 115-2). This FSP amends the other-than-temporary
impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the
presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The
adoption of this FSP SFAS 115-2 had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2008, SFAS No. 132 (Revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits was amended by FSP SFAS 132 (R)-1, Employers Disclosures about
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. This FSP provides guidance on an employers disclosures about
plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan and is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We do not expect its
adoption will have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
12. Subsequent events
On May 11, 2009, we extended the interest rate caps on the $800 million notional amount related to the Secured Real Estate Loan. Refer to Note 3 entitled Derivative instruments and hedging activities for further details.
On May 28, 2009, the Company acquired the business assets of FAO Schwarz, a childrens retailer. As
part of the acquisition, the Company will continue to operate the two FAO Schwarz retail stores in
New York City and Las Vegas along with the FAO Schwarz e-commerce and catalog businesses. We do not
expect the acquisition to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
On June 8, 2009, we adopted amendment No. 2 (the Amendment) to the Amended and Restated Toys R
Us, Inc. 2005 Management Equity Plan (the MEP) in order to modify the vesting provisions for
certain tranches of stock options issued under the MEP. We are currently assessing the impact of
the Amendment to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(MD&A) is intended to help facilitate an understanding of our historical results of operations
during the periods presented and our financial condition. This MD&A should be read in conjunction
with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes, and contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See Forward-Looking Statements
below.
Our Business
We generate sales, earnings, and cash flows by retailing merchandise in our juvenile, learning,
entertainment, core toy and seasonal product categories worldwide. Our reportable segments are:
Toys R Us Domestic (Domestic), which provides toy and juvenile product offerings in 49
states and Puerto Rico; and Toys R Us International (International), which operates,
licenses or franchises stores in 32 foreign countries. As of May 2, 2009, there were 1,546
wholly-owned and franchised R Us branded retail stores worldwide. Domestic and International
segments are also responsible for their respective internet operations.
Financial Performance
As discussed in more detail in this MD&A, the following financial data presents an overview of our
financial performance for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 compared to the thirteen weeks ended

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 decreased due to decreased comparable store net
sales across our segments, which have been impacted by the overall slowdown in the global economy.
Gross margin as a percentage of Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 remained
unchanged as improvements in sales mix away from lower margin products were offset by price
reductions taken in light of the slowdown in the global economy and the impact of foreign currency
translation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) as a percentage of Net sales for the thirteen
weeks ended May 2, 2009 decreased primarily due to initiatives to reduce overall operating
expenses, including compensation, transportation costs, advertising and professional fees.
Net loss attributable to Toys R Us, Inc. for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 decreased
primarily due to a decrease in SG&A, partially offset by a decrease in Gross margin and a decrease
in Income tax benefit.
Comparable Store Net Sales
We include, in computing comparable store net sales, stores that have been open for at least 56
weeks (1 year and 4 weeks) from their soft opening date. A soft opening is typically two weeks
prior to the grand opening. At the end of fiscal 2008, we changed our definition of comparable
store net sales to include sales from our online business because we believe this combined measure
represents a more useful disclosure in light of our fully integrated business. For comparability
purposes, we have restated our comparable store net sales for our fiscal 2008 quarters.
Comparable stores generally include:
|
|
|
stores that have been remodeled while remaining open; |
|
|
|
|
stores that have been relocated and/or expanded to new buildings within the same
trade area, in which the new store opens at about the same time as the old store closes;
and |
|
|
|
|
stores that have expanded within their current locations. |
By measuring the year-over-year sales of merchandise in the stores that have a history of being
open for a full comparable 56 weeks or more, we can better gauge how the core store base is
performing since it excludes store openings and closings.
Various factors affect comparable store net sales, including the number of stores we open or close,
the number of transactions, the average transaction amount, the general retail sales environment,
current local and global economic conditions, consumer preferences and buying trends, changes in
sales mix among distribution channels, our ability to efficiently source and distribute products,
changes in our merchandise mix, competition, the timing of our releases of new merchandise and
promotional events, the success of marketing
17
programs and the cannibalization of existing store net
sales by new stores. Among other things, weather conditions can affect
comparable store net sales because inclement weather can require us to close certain stores
temporarily and thus reduce customer traffic in those stores. Even if stores are not closed, many
customers may decide to avoid going to stores in bad weather. These factors have caused our
comparable store net sales to fluctuate significantly in the past on an annual, quarterly and
monthly basis and, as a result, we expect that comparable store net sales will continue to
fluctuate in the future.

Net loss attributable to Toys R Us, Inc. decreased primarily due to a decrease in SG&A of $107
million, primarily due to initiatives to reduce overall operating expenses, partially offset by a
decrease in Gross margin of $87 million as a result of lower overall Net sales, and a decrease in
Income tax benefit of $13 million. Each of these changes includes the effect of foreign currency
translation, which accounted for an approximate $7 million decrease in Net loss attributable to
Toys R Us, Inc.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, Net sales decreased by $242 million, or 8.9%, to $2.5
billion from $2.7 billion for the same period last year. Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May
2, 2009 included the impact of foreign currency translation that decreased Net sales by
approximately $104 million.
Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 2,
2009 decreased primarily due to decreased comparable store net sales across both our segments.
Comparable store net sales have been impacted by the overall slowdown in the global economy, which
contributed to a decrease in the number of transactions and a lower average transaction amount at
both of our segments. Comparable store net sales were also affected by competitive pricing and
increased promotional
18
activity at both segments in order to continue drawing customer traffic to our stores despite
difficult economic conditions around the world.
Domestic
Net sales for the Domestic segment decreased by $88 million, or 5.1%, to $1,623 million for the
thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, compared to $1,711 million in the same period last year. The
decrease in Net sales was primarily a result of a decrease in comparable store net sales of 5.4%.
The comparable store net sales decrease was primarily the result of decreases in our entertainment,
apparel and juvenile categories, which were all affected by the overall slowdown in the economy.
The decrease in our entertainment category was driven by a slowdown in demand for certain game
systems and related accessories. The apparel category decreased as we have phased out certain size
offerings. The juvenile category decreased primarily due to declines in sales of higher priced
items such as baby gear, furniture and bedding. Partially offsetting these decreases to the
juvenile category were the conversion of certain stores to our side-by-side and R superstore
formats, and increased sales due to expanded product offerings, such as Health & Beauty Aids and
the introduction of R markets.
International
Net sales for the International segment decreased by $154 million, or 15.3%, to $854 million for
the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, compared to $1,008 million in the same period last year.
Excluding a $104 million decrease in Net sales due to foreign currency translation, International
Net sales decreased primarily due to a decrease in comparable store net sales of 5.4%.
The comparable store net sales decrease was primarily impacted by a decrease in our entertainment
category, partially offset by an increase in our seasonal category. The decrease in sales in the
entertainment category was primarily attributable to a slowdown in
demand for certain game systems and related accessories. Sales of seasonal products, such as bicycles, sporting goods and outdoor play equipment,
increased primarily due to warmer spring weather in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to
the same period in the prior year.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
We record the costs associated with operating our distribution networks as a part of SG&A,
including those costs that primarily relate to transporting merchandise from distribution centers
to stores. Therefore, our consolidated Gross margin may not be comparable to the gross margins of
other retailers that include similar costs in their cost of sales.
The following costs are included in Cost of sales:
|
|
|
the cost of merchandise acquired from vendors; |
|
|
|
|
freight in; |
|
|
|
|
provision for excess and obsolete inventory; |
|
|
|
|
shipping costs; |
|
|
|
|
provision for inventory shortages; and |
|
|
|
|
credits and allowances from our merchandise vendors. |

Gross margin, as a percentage of Net sales, remained unchanged and decreased $87 million for the
thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, compared to the same period last year. Foreign currency
translation accounted for approximately $43 million of the decrease. Gross margin, as a percentage
of Net sales, was impacted by improvements in sales mix away from lower margin products offset by
price reductions taken in light of the slowdown in the global economy and the impact of foreign
currency translation.
19
Domestic
Gross margin decreased by $32 million to $582 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009,
compared to $614 million in the same period last year. Gross margin, as a percentage of Net sales,
for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 remained unchanged. Gross margin, as a percentage of Net
sales, was impacted by improvements in sales mix away from lower margin products, such as video game hardware, offset by price reductions taken in light of the slowdown in the global
economy.
International
Gross margin decreased by $55 million to $308 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009,
compared to $363 million in the same period last year. Foreign currency translation accounted for
approximately $43 million of the decrease. Gross margin, as a percentage of Net sales, for the
thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 increased 0.1%.
The increase in Gross margin, as a percentage of Net sales, was primarily due to a change in sales
mix toward sales of higher margin seasonal, juvenile and learning products as well as decreased
sales of lower margin video game hardware compared to the same period last year. Partially
offsetting these increases were price reductions taken in light of the slowdown in the global
economy and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
The following are the types of costs included in SG&A:
|
|
|
store payroll and related payroll benefits; |
|
|
|
|
rent and other store operating expenses, |
|
|
|
|
advertising expenses; |
|

SG&A decreased $107 million to $788 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, compared to
$895 million for the same period last year. As a percentage of Net sales, SG&A decreased 1.1%.
Foreign currency translation accounted for approximately $40 million of the decrease.
Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, the decrease in SG&A was primarily due to
initiatives to reduce overall operating expenses, including compensation, transportation costs,
advertising and professional fees. Additionally, SG&A decreased at our International segment due to
the contract termination payment related to the prior year settlement between Toys R Us
Japan, Ltd. (Toys-Japan) and McDonalds Japan, which increased SG&A by $14 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2008.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $7 million to $93 million for the thirteen weeks ended

accounted for approximately $3 million of the decrease along with the addition of fewer new
wholly-owned stores due to the curtailment of capital spending in the current year.
Other Income, Net
In fiscal 2009, we have included certain other income and expense items in Other income, net in our
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the first quarter of fiscal 2008, such income
and expense items were not material and reported as a component of SG&A. Accordingly, prior period
amounts have been corrected or reclassified to conform with our current year presentation. The
change had no effect on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows and
20
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Deficit as previously presented.
Other income, net includes the following:
|
|
|
gift card breakage and dormancy income; |
|

|
|
|
|

Interest expense decreased by $6 million to $94 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009

average interest rates during the quarter, partially offset by increases in charges due to changes
in the fair values of our derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting compared to the
same period last year.

Interest income decreased by $5 million to $2 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009
compared to $7 million for the same period last year primarily due to lower effective interest
rates.

The effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008 were based on our
forecasted annualized effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the
periods presented.
21
Our forecasted annualized effective tax rate was 43.9% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 compared
to 45.7% in the same period last year. The difference between our forecasted annualized effective
tax rates was primarily due to a decrease in taxable permanent adjustments, a reduction in state
tax expense, and a change in the mix of earnings between jurisdictions.
For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, the discrete impact on our effective tax rate was an
income tax benefit of $1 million related to state income taxes as well as changes to our liability
for uncertain tax positions. For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008 the discrete impact on our
effective tax rate was an income tax benefit of $3 million related to state income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of May 2, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants related to our
outstanding debt. At May 2, 2009, we had no outstanding borrowings and a total of $102 million of
outstanding letters of credit under our $2.0 billion secured revolving credit facility, which
expires on July 21, 2010. We had availability of $1.1 billion under the facility at May 2, 2009. In
addition, we had no outstanding borrowings and we had availability of $281 million, which excludes
a lender who is unable to provide funding of $53 million, under our multi-currency revolving credit
facility (£95 million and 145 million) and expires on July 21, 2010.
On March 31, 2008, Toys-Japan entered into an agreement with a syndicate of financial
institutions, which established two unsecured loan commitment lines of credit (Tranche 1 and
Tranche 2). Under the agreement, Tranche 1 is available in amounts of up to ¥20 billion ($202
million at May 2, 2009), and expires in fiscal 2011. At May 2, 2009, we had outstanding Long-term
debt of $202 million under Tranche 1 with no remaining availability.
On March 30, 2009, Toys-Japan entered into an agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions
to refinance Tranche 2. As a result, Tranche 2 is available in amounts of up to ¥12.6 billion ($127
million at May 2, 2009), and expires in fiscal 2010. At May 2, 2009, we had outstanding Short-term
debt of $25 million under Tranche 2 with $102 million remaining availability. We paid fees of $1
million to refinance Tranche 2, which were capitalized as deferred debt issuance costs and are
amortized over the term of the agreement.
Due to the deterioration in the credit markets, many financial institutions have reduced and, in
some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers. We are dependent on the borrowings provided by
the lenders to support our working capital needs and capital expenditures. Currently we have funds
available for borrowings under our credit facilities to finance our operations through July 2010.
Our lenders may be unable to fund borrowings under their credit commitments to us if these lenders
face bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale. As of May 2, 2009, a lender who provides availability
of $53 million under our multi-currency revolving credit facility is unable to provide funding.
This credit facility provides that the failure of one lender to fund its commitment does not
relieve any other lenders of their obligations to fund their commitments. If our cash flow and
capital resources do not provide the necessary liquidity, it could have a significant negative
impact on our results of operations.
In general, our primary uses of cash are providing for working capital, which principally
represents the purchase of inventory, servicing debt, financing construction of new stores,
remodeling existing stores, and paying expenses to operate our stores. We will consider additional
sources of financing to fund our long-term growth. Our working capital needs follow a seasonal
pattern, peaking in the third quarter of the year when inventory is purchased for the holiday
selling season. Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers.
We have been able to meet our cash needs principally by using cash on hand, cash flows from
operations and our revolving credit facilities.
Although we believe that cash generated from operations, along with our existing cash and revolving
credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our expected cash flow requirements and planned
capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, continued world-wide financial market
disruption may have a negative impact on our financial performance and position in the future.

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $515 million
compared to $514 million used in operating activities during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008.
The $1 million increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of increased
purchases of merchandise inventories and decreased gross margins from operations, partially offset
by decreased operating expenses and decreased payments for income taxes.
Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, net cash used in investing activities was $25 million
compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $79 million for the thirteen weeks ended
May 3, 2008. The increase in net cash used was primarily the result of cash proceeds from the sale
of $148 million of our Short-term investments received in the first quarter of fiscal 2008,
partially offset by decreases in capital expenditures of $31 million and a $20 million decrease in
the change in restricted cash.
Our capital expenditures are primarily for financing construction of new stores, remodeling
existing stores, as well as, to improve and enhance our information technology systems. In
addition, we have executed several small acquisitions of e-commerce assets. Due to the significant
deterioration in the global financial markets and economic environment, we have taken and plan to
continue taking steps to prudently curtail our capital spending for the foreseeable future,
including a reduction in budgeted capital spending in fiscal 2009 in excess of 50% over fiscal 2008
amounts.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, net cash provided by financing activities was $223
million compared to $78 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008. The increase in net cash
provided by financing activities was primarily due to increased borrowings at Toys-Japan due to
the timing of merchandise payments in the first quarter of fiscal
2009. In addition, we repayed $137 million in borrowings in connection with the refinancing at Toys-Japan in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Debt
During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2009, we made the following change to our debt structure:
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, Toys-Japan had additional net borrowings on its Tranche
1 unsecured loan of $184 million. In addition, on March 30, 2009, Toys-Japan entered into an
agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to refinance Tranche 2. As a result, Tranche 2
is now available in amounts of up to ¥12.6 billion ($127 million at May 2, 2009), and expires in
fiscal 2010. At May 2, 2009, Toys-Japan borrowed $25 million under Tranche 2.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our contractual obligations consist mainly of payments related to Long-term debt and related
interest, operating leases related to real estate used in the operation of our business and product
purchase obligations. Refer to the CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS section of the Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, for details on our contractual obligations and commitments.

Other credit ratings for our debt are available; however, we have disclosed only the ratings of the
two largest nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.
Our current credit ratings, as well as any adverse future actions taken by the rating agencies with
respect to our debt ratings, could negatively impact our ability to finance our operations on
satisfactory terms and have the effect of increasing our financing costs. Our debt instruments do
not contain provisions requiring acceleration of payment upon a debt rating downgrade.
The rating agencies may, in the future, revise the ratings on our outstanding debt.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and during the applicable periods. We base
these estimates on historical experience and on other factors that we believe are reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions and could have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Fair Value Measurements
On February 1, 2009, we adopted the fair value guidance related to nonfinancial assets and
liabilities, as prescribed by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), as amended by
FASB Staff Position (FSP SFAS) 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement
No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,
FSP SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157: Fair Value Measurements, FSP SFAS
157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not
Active and FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the
Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.
Assumptions made regarding the adoption of SFAS 157 will impact any accounting standards that
include fair value measurements. Refer to Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
entitled Fair value measurements for further details.
A summary of other significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that we
believe critical may be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2009, in the CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES section of the Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1 entitled Basis of presentation and Note 11 entitled Recent accounting
pronouncements to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent
accounting pronouncements and their impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. All statements herein that
are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs or expectations, are
forward-looking statements. We generally identify these statements by words or phrases, such as
anticipate, estimate, plan, expect, believe, intend, foresee, will, may, and
similar words or phrases. These statements discuss, among other things, our strategy, store
openings and renovations, future financial or operational performance, anticipated cost savings,
results of store closings and restructurings, anticipated domestic or international developments,
future financings, targets and future occurrences and trends.
These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including, among others,
competition in the retail industry, seasonality of our business, changes in consumer preferences
and consumer spending patterns, general economic conditions in the United States and other
countries in which we conduct our business, our ability to implement our strategy, our substantial
level of indebtedness and related debt service obligations and the covenants in our debt
agreements, availability of adequate financing, our
24
dependence on key vendors of our merchandise,
international events affecting the delivery of toys and other products to our stores, economic,
political and other developments associated with our international operations, and risks,
uncertainties and factors set forth in our reports and documents filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (which reports and documents should be read in conjunction with
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). We believe that all forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions when made; however, we caution that it is impossible to predict actual
results or outcomes or the effects of risks, uncertainties or other factors on anticipated results
or outcomes and that, accordingly, one should not place undue reliance on these statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation
to update these statements in light of subsequent events or developments. Actual results and
outcomes may differ materially from anticipated results or outcomes discussed in any
forward-looking statement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the thirteen weeks ended
May 2, 2009 except as noted below under Foreign Exchange Exposure.
Foreign Exchange Exposure
Our foreign currency exposure is primarily concentrated in the United Kingdom, Continental Europe,
Canada, Australia and Japan. Our foreign subsidiaries make U.S. dollar denominated merchandise
purchases through the normal course of business which expose us to foreign currency exchange
transaction risk. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we entered into foreign currency
exchange forward contracts to economically hedge a portion of these U.S. dollar denominated
merchandise purchases for the remainder of fiscal 2009. As of May 2, 2009, we had a $198 million
notional amount of outstanding contracts. A 10% change in foreign exchange rates against the U.S.
dollar would result in a $20 million change in pre-tax earnings.
For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A entitled QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended January 31, 2009.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
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 the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange
Act 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 as of May 2, 2009 these
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of
fiscal 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
25
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Toysrus.com previously operated three co-branded on-line stores under a strategic alliance
agreement (Agreement) with Amazon.com (Amazon). On May 21, 2004, we filed a lawsuit against
Amazon and its affiliated companies in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Passaic
County (the New Jersey Trial Court) to terminate the Agreement. Amazon filed a counterclaim
against us and our affiliated companies. On March 31, 2006, the New Jersey Trial Court entered an
order (Order) terminating the Agreement and denying Amazons counterclaim. The parties each filed
Notices of Appeal with the Appellate Division. On June 2, 2006, Amazon filed a lawsuit against us
in the Superior Court of Washington, King County (the Washington Court) for money damages
allegedly arising from services it was required to provide to us during the wind-down period
pursuant to the Order. The Washington Court stayed the matter before it in favor of the New Jersey
proceedings. On March 24, 2009, the Appellate Division affirmed the New Jersey Trial Courts Order
with respect to the termination of the Agreement and denial of Amazons counterclaim, but remanded
to the New Jersey Trial Court for further proceedings on our claim that we are entitled to monetary
damages arising from Amazons breach of the Agreement. On April 23, 2009, Amazon petitioned the
New Jersey Supreme Court for certification of the Appellate Divisions decision for a discretionary
appeal to the New Jersey Supreme Court, and that petition was denied
on June 1, 2009.
In addition to the litigation discussed above, we are, and in the future, may be involved in
various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the ordinary course of business. The
results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or
not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of
management time and result in diversion of significant resources. The results of these lawsuits,
claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. However, we believe that the ultimate
resolution of these current lawsuits, claims and proceedings will not have a material adverse
effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
At May 2, 2009, there had not been any material changes to the information related to the ITEM 1A.
