purposes, TJX provides for depreciation and amortization of property using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings are depreciated over 33 years. Leasehold costs and improvements are generally amortized over their useful life or the committed lease term (typically 10 years), whichever is shorter. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over 3 to 10 years. Depreciation and amortization expense for property was $490.6 million for fiscal 2012, $461.5 million for fiscal 2011 and $435.8 million for fiscal 2010. Amortization expense for property held under a capital lease was $2.2 million in each of fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant costs incurred for internally developed software are capitalized and amortized over 3 to 10 years. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of disposed assets and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and any gain or loss is included in income. Pre-opening costs, including rent, are expensed as incurred. </div> </div> <div> <div> Note C.    Dispositions and Reserves Related to Former Operations Consolidation of A.J. Wright: On December 8, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the consolidation of the A.J. Wright division whereby TJX would convert 90 A.J. Wright stores into T.J. Maxx, Marshalls or HomeGoods stores and close A.J. Wright's remaining 72 stores, two distribution centers and home office. The liquidation process commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Even though the A.J. Wright chain was profitable, consolidating the A.J. Wright chain was intended to allow TJX to focus its financial and managerial resources on fewer, larger businesses with higher returns and enhance the growth prospects for TJX overall.   The A.J. Wright consolidation was not classified as a discontinued operation due to our expectation that a significant portion of the sales of the A.J. Wright stores would migrate to other TJX stores. Thus the costs incurred in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 relating to the A.J. Wright consolidation are reflected in continuing operations as part of the A.J. Wright segment which reported a segment loss of $49 million for fiscal 2012 and $130 million for fiscal 2011 including the following:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="80%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="right">January 28, 2012</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="right">January 29, 2011</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Fixed asset impairment charges—Non cash</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">82,589</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Severance and termination benefits</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">25,400</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Lease obligations and other closing costs</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">32,686</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">11,700</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="top"> Operating losses</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">16,605</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">10,297</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="top"> Total segment loss</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">$</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">49,291</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom">$</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" align="right">129,986</td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr></table> <div> The impairment charges relate to furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements that were disposed of and deemed to have no value, as well as A.J. Wright's two owned distribution centers. The distribution centers were closed prior to the end of fiscal 2011, were held for sale during fiscal 2012 and adjusted to fair market value. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012 the A.J. Wright Fall River, Massachusetts distribution center was sold and an immaterial loss was recorded. The impairment charges, severance and termination benefits, lease obligations and other closing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. Fiscal 2012 also included $20 million of costs to convert the 90 A.J. Wright stores to other banners, with $17 million incurred by the Marmaxx segment and $3 million incurred by the HomeGoods segment. </div> Reserves Related to Former Operations: TJX has a reserve for its estimate of future obligations of business operations it has closed, sold or otherwise disposed of.

Wright stores that were not converted to other banners or closed in fiscal 2011. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 TJX reduced its reserve by $6 million to reflect a lower estimated cost for lease obligations for former operations classified as discontinued operations, which was recorded to discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of income. TJX also added to the reserve the consolidation costs of the A.J. Wright chain detailed above. The reserve balance as of January 29, 2011 includes approximately $20 million for severance and termination benefits relating to the A.J. Wright consolidation. The lease-related obligations included in the reserve reflect TJX's estimation of lease costs, net of estimated subtenant income, and the cost of probable claims against TJX for liability, as an original lessee or guarantor of the leases of A.J. Wright and other former TJX businesses, after mitigation of the number and cost of these lease obligations. The actual net cost of these lease-related obligations may differ from TJX's estimate. TJX estimates that the majority of the former operations reserve will be paid in the next three to five years. The actual timing of cash outflows will vary depending on how the remaining lease obligations are actually settled.   TJX may also be contingently liable on up to 13 leases of BJ's Wholesale Club, a former TJX business, and up to seven leases of Bob's Stores, also a former TJX business, in addition to those included in the reserve. The reserve for discontinued operations does not reflect these leases because TJX believes that the likelihood of future liability to TJX is remote.</div> </div> -269000 -416000 517000 230000 0.0404 209042000 302217000 12 5 3 166414000 168659000 228289000 179936000 179935000 0.10 0.49 0.21 90 31046000 77846000 13747000 11600000 -6000000 33000000 1761000 1475000 861000 320633000 349778000 76236000 82465000 11700000 32686000 -5891000 -7155000 -21821000 39100000 36500000 <div> All other current liabilities include accruals for advertising, property additions, dividends, freight, interest, reserve for sales returns, purchased services, and other items, each of which are individually less than 5% of current liabilities. </div> 6 54904000 31847000 10270000 96073000 13559000 0.50 0.80 0.25 21 10 5 1 141000000 0.11 3700000 100000 100000 2000000 <div> <div> New Accounting Standards: We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow. </div> </div> 365088000 10 365100000 462057 30200000 52557 25000000 50442000 85894000 42813000 4951000 403031000 28465000 420000 62000000 75292000 25000000 85389000 40401000 8475000 272210000 33793000 3135000 21265000 66363000 55000000 66900000 3700000 399036000 33900000 312000 18237000 100781000 21335000 55000000 63000000 6300000 273356000 40000000 2366000 2 1 2 2 2 2 13 7 72 90 4 2 10 5 15 10 1 10 5 1.00 16400000 -13656000 -1045000 -11172000 -941000 -10854000 -666000 Fixed on 2.1M gal Fixed on 450K-1.5M gal per month 0.50 0.50 0.050 0.05 0.045 0.047 0.066 0.22 0.16 0.60 0.27 0.13 0.24 3 1 who participate in its retirement plan and who retired at age 55 or older with ten or more years of service 35.00 347600000 -11550000 12000000 <div> <div> <div> <div> Note B.    Provision (Credit) for Computer Intrusion Related Costs TJX has a reserve for its estimate of the remaining probable losses arising from an unauthorized intrusion or intrusions (the intrusion or intrusions, collectively, the "Computer Intrusion") into portions of its computer system, which was discovered late in fiscal 2007 and in which TJX believes customer data were stolen.

<div> <div> Cash and Cash Equivalents: TJX generally considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments with maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year at the date of purchase are included in short-term investments. Our investments are primarily high-grade commercial paper, institutional money market funds and time deposits with major banks. TJX had $15.1 million of restricted cash at January 28, 2012, and $14.6 million of restricted cash at January 29, 2011 all of which is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash is held in escrow to secure TJX's performance of its obligations under certain leases in Europe. </div> </div>

<div> <div> Loss Contingencies: TJX records a reserve for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. TJX evaluates pending litigation and other contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts the reserve for such contingencies for changes in probable and reasonably estimable losses. TJX includes an estimate for related legal costs at the time such costs are both probable and reasonably estimable. </div> </div>

<div> Note M.    Commitments TJX is committed under long-term leases related to its continuing operations for the rental of real estate and fixtures and equipment. Most of our leases are store operating leases with a ten-year initial term and options to extend for one or more five-year periods. TJX Europe generally enters leases for ten to fifteen years with five or ten-year kick-out options. Many of our leases contain escalation clauses and some contain early termination penalties. In addition, we are generally required to pay insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses including, in some cases, rentals based on a percentage of sales. These expenses in the aggregate were approximately one-third of the total minimum rent in fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 and are not included in the table below.   The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments for continuing operations as of January 28, 2012:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"

Rental payments commenced June 1, 2001, and we recognized a capital lease asset and related obligation equal to the present value of the lease payments of $32.6 million. Rental expense under operating leases for continuing operations amounted to $1,086.0 million for fiscal 2012, $1,031.4 million for fiscal 2011 and $962.0 million for fiscal 2010. Rental expense includes contingent rent and is reported net of sublease income. Contingent rent paid was $12.9 million in fiscal 2012, $12.0 million in fiscal 2011 and $13.0 million in fiscal 2010. Sublease income was $1.3 million in fiscal 2012, $1.2 million in fiscal 2011 and $1.3 million in fiscal 2010. The total net present value of TJX's minimum operating lease obligations approximated $5,951.8 million as of January 28, 2012. TJX had outstanding letters of credit totaling $36.5 million as of January 28, 2012 and $39.1 million as of January 29, 2011.

Also in April 2009, prior to the issuance of the 6.95% notes, TJX entered into a rate-lock agreement to hedge the underlying treasury rate of those notes. The cost of this agreement is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 6.95% notes and results in an effective fixed rate of 7.00% on those notes. On July 23, 2009, TJX issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.20% six-year notes. TJX used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the notes to refinance its C$235 million term credit facility on August 10, 2009, prior to its scheduled maturity, and used the remainder, together with funds from operations, to repay its $200 million 7.45% notes due December 15, 2009, at maturity. Also in July 2009, prior to the issuance of the 4.20% notes, TJX entered into a rate-lock agreement to hedge the underlying treasury rate on $250 million of those notes. The cost of this agreement is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 4.20% notes and results in an effective fixed rate of 4.19% on the notes.   In February 2001, TJX issued $517.5 million zero coupon convertible subordinated notes due in February 2021 and raised gross proceeds of $347.6 million. The issue price of the notes represented a yield to maturity of 2% per year. During fiscal 2010, TJX called for the redemption of these notes at the original issue price plus accrued original issue discount, and 462,057 notes with a carrying value of $365.1 million were converted into 30.2 million shares of TJX common stock at a rate of 32.667 shares (65.334 on a two-for-one split basis) per note. TJX paid $2.3 million to redeem the remaining 2,886 notes outstanding that were not converted. Prior to fiscal 2010, a total of 52,557 notes were either converted into common shares of TJX or put back to TJX. <div> TJX traditionally has funded seasonal merchandise requirements through cash generated from operations, short-term bank borrowings and the issuance of short-term commercial paper. TJX had two $500 million revolving credit facilities at January 28, 2012 one which matures in May 2016 and one which matures in May 2013. TJX also had two $500 million revolving credit facilities at January 29, 2011. One of the $500 million facilities at January 29, 2011 matured in May 2011 and was replaced at that time with a new $500 million, five-year revolving credit facility with similar terms and provisions but updated for market pricing. The agreement maturing in 2013 requires the payment of 17.5 basis points annually on the unused committed amount. The five-year agreement requires the payment of 12.5 basis points annually on the unused committed amount. There were no U.S. short-term borrowings outstanding during fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2011. These agreements have no compensating balance requirements and have various covenants including a requirement of a specified ratio of debt to earnings and serve as backup to the commercial paper program. There were no outstanding amounts under these credit facilities as of January 28, 2012 or January 29, 2011. As of January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, TJX's foreign subsidiaries had uncommitted credit facilities. TJX Canada had two credit lines, a C$10 million facility for operating expenses and a C$10 million letter of credit facility. As of January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding on the Canadian credit line for operating expenses and there were no short-term borrowings during fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2011. As of January 28, 2012, TJX Europe had a credit line of £20 million. There were no borrowings under this credit line in fiscal 2012 and the maximum amount outstanding under this U.K. line was £1.0 million in fiscal 2011. There were no outstanding borrowings on this U.K. credit line as of January 28, 2012 or January 29, 2011. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div> </div>

<div> <div> <div> <div> <div> Note F.    Financial Instruments As a result of its operating and financing activities, TJX is exposed to market risks from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and fuel costs. These market risks may adversely affect TJX's operating results and financial position. When deemed appropriate, TJX seeks to minimize risk from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and fuel costs through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. TJX does not use leveraged derivative financial instruments. TJX recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statements of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value. The fair values of the derivatives are classified as assets or liabilities, current or non-current, based upon valuation results and settlement dates of the individual contracts. Changes to the fair value of derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported in earnings in the period of the change. For derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either recorded in shareholders' equity as a component of other comprehensive income or are recognized currently in earnings, along with an offsetting adjustment against the basis of the item being hedged. TJX does not hedge its net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Interest Rate Contracts: During fiscal 2004, TJX entered into interest rate swaps with respect to $100 million of the $200 million ten-year notes outstanding at that time. Under those interest rate swaps, which settled in December 2009, TJX paid a specific variable interest rate indexed to the six-month LIBOR rate and received a fixed rate applicable to the underlying debt, effectively converting the interest on a portion of the notes from fixed to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges on the underlying debt. The valuation of the swaps resulted in an offsetting fair value adjustment to the debt hedged. The average effective interest rate on $100 million of the 7.45% unsecured notes, inclusive of the effect of hedging activity, was approximately 4.04% in fiscal 2010. <div> Diesel Fuel Contracts: During fiscal 2012, TJX entered into agreements to hedge a portion of its estimated notional diesel requirements for fiscal 2013, based on the diesel fuel consumed by independent freight carriers transporting the Company's inventory. The hedge agreements outstanding at January 28, 2012 relate to 49% of TJX's estimated notional diesel requirements in the first half of fiscal 2013 and 21% of TJX's estimated notional diesel requirements in the second half of fiscal 2013. These diesel fuel hedge agreements will settle throughout fiscal 2013. The fuel hedge agreements outstanding at January 29, 2011 hedged approximately 10% of TJX's notional diesel fuel requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and settled during the first half of fiscal 2012. Independent freight carriers transporting the Company's inventory charge TJX a mileage surcharge for diesel fuel price increases as incurred by the carrier. The hedge agreements are designed to mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel pricing (and the resulting per mile surcharges payable by TJX) by setting a fixed price per gallon for the period being hedged. TJX elected not to apply hedge accounting rules to these contracts. The change in the fair value of the hedge agreements resulted in income of $0.95 million in fiscal 2012, income of $1.2 million in fiscal 2011 and income of $4.5 million in fiscal 2010, all of which are reflected in earnings as a component of cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs. Foreign Currency Contracts: TJX enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to obtain economic hedges on portions of merchandise purchases made and anticipated to be made in currencies other than the functional currency of TJX Europe (United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and Poland), TJX Canada (Canada), Marmaxx and HomeGoods (U.S.). These contracts are typically twelve months or less in duration. The contracts outstanding at January 28, 2012 cover certain commitments and anticipated needs throughout fiscal 2013. TJX elected not to apply hedge accounting rules to these contracts. The change in the fair value of these contracts resulted in income of $3.3 million in fiscal 2012, loss of $6.8 million in fiscal 2011 and income of $0.5 million in fiscal 2010 and is included in earnings as a component of cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs. </div> TJX also enters into derivative contracts, generally designated as fair value hedges, to hedge intercompany debt and intercompany interest payable. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and are offset by marking the underlying item to fair value in the same period. Upon settlement, the realized gains and losses on these contracts are offset by the realized gains and losses of the underlying item in selling, general and administrative expenses. The net impact on the income statement of hedging activity related to these intercompany payables was income of $0.1 million in fiscal 2012, income of $0.1 million in fiscal 2011 and income of $3.7 million in fiscal 2010.   The following is a summary of TJX's derivative financial instruments, related fair value and balance sheet classification at January 28, 2012:   <div class="MetaData"> <table

The fair value of long-term debt at January 28, 2012 was $936.8 million compared to a carrying value of $774.5 million. The fair value of long-term debt as of January 29, 2011 was $881.7 million compared to a carrying value of $774.4 million. These estimates do not necessarily reflect provisions or restrictions in the various debt agreements that might affect TJX's ability to settle these obligations. TJX's cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, due to the short maturities of these instruments. Investments designed to meet obligations under the Executive Savings Plan are invested in securities traded in active markets and are recorded at unadjusted quoted prices. Foreign currency exchange and diesel fuel contracts are valued using broker quotations which include observable market information. TJX does not make adjustments to quotes or prices obtained from brokers or pricing services but does assess the credit risk of counterparties and will adjust final valuations when appropriate. Where independent pricing services provide fair values, TJX obtains an understanding of the methods used in pricing. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 2. </div></div></div></div> </div>

<div> <div> Fiscal Year: During fiscal 2010, TJX amended its bylaws to change its fiscal year end to the Saturday nearest to the last day of January of each year. Previously TJX's fiscal year ended on the last Saturday of January. The fiscal years ended January 28, 2012 (fiscal 2012), January 29, 2011 (fiscal 2011) and January 30, 2010 (fiscal 2010) all included 52 weeks. This change shifted the timing of TJX's next 53 week fiscal year to the fiscal year ending February 2, 2013 (fiscal 2013). </div> </div>

<div> <div> Foreign Currency Translation: TJX's foreign assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at fiscal year-end exchange rates with resulting translation gains and losses included in shareholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Activity of the foreign operations that affect the statements of income and cash flows is translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year. </div> </div>

<div> <div> Goodwill and Tradename: Goodwill is primarily the excess of the purchase price paid over the carrying value of the minority interest acquired in fiscal 1990 in TJX's former 83%-owned subsidiary and represents goodwill associated with the T.J. Maxx chain. In addition, goodwill includes the excess of cost over the estimated fair market value of the net assets of Winners acquired by TJX in fiscal 1991. Goodwill totaled $72.2 million as of January 28, 2012, $72.2 million as of January 29, 2011 and $72.1 million as of January 30, 2010. Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life and accordingly is not amortized. Changes in goodwill are attributable to the effect of exchange rate changes on Winners' reported goodwill. Tradename is the value assigned to the name "Marshalls," acquired by TJX in fiscal 1996 as part of the acquisition of the Marshalls chain. The value of the tradename was determined by the discounted present value of assumed after-tax royalty payments, offset by a reduction for their pro-rata share of negative goodwill acquired. The Marshalls tradename is carried at a value of $107.7 million and is considered to have an indefinite life. TJX occasionally acquires or licenses other trademarks to be used in connection with private label merchandise. Such trademarks are included in other assets and are amortized to cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, over their useful life, generally from 7 to 10 years. Goodwill, tradename and trademarks, and the related accumulated amortization if any, are included in the respective operating segment to which they relate. </div> </div>

<div> <div> Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill and Tradename: TJX evaluates its long-lived assets and assets with indefinite lives (other than goodwill and tradename) for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable, and at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. An impairment exists when the undiscounted cash flow of an asset or asset group is less than the carrying cost of that asset or asset group. The evaluation for long-lived assets is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is generally at the individual store level. If indicators of impairment are identified, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is performed to determine if an impairment exists. The store-by-store evaluations did not indicate any recoverability issues (for any of our continuing operations) during the past three fiscal years. Our decision to close the A.J. Wright chain (see Note C) resulted in the impairment of A.J. Wright's fixed assets and impairment charges of $83 million are reflected in the A.J. Wright segment for fiscal 2011. Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred and at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, by comparing the carrying value of the related reporting unit to its fair value. An impairment exists when this analysis, using typical valuation models such as the discounted cash flow method, shows that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying cost of the reporting unit. Tradename is also tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the tradename may exceed its fair value and at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Testing is performed by comparing the discounted present value of assumed after-tax royalty payments to the carrying value of the tradename. There was no impairment related to our goodwill, tradename or trademarks in fiscal 2012, 2011 or 2010. </div> </div>

$362.5 million. The fiscal 2011 net deferred tax liability is presented on the balance sheet as a current asset of $66.1 million and a non-current liability of $241.9 million. TJX has provided for deferred U.S. taxes on all undistributed earnings from its Winners Canadian subsidiary, its Marshalls Puerto Rico subsidiary and its subsidiaries in Italy, India, Hong Kong, and Australia through January 28, 2012. The net deferred tax liability summarized above includes deferred taxes relating to temporary differences at our foreign operations and amounted to a $17.0 million net liability as of January 28, 2012, and $20.1 million net liability as of January 29, 2011. No income taxes have been provided on the approximately $346 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of January 28, 2012, because such earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in the business. A determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable because of the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculations.</div> </div> </div>     TJX established valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets, primarily related to state tax net operating losses from non operational subsidiaries, which may not be realized in future years. The amount of the valuation allowances was $5.9 million as of January 28, 2012 and $4.9 million as of January 29, 2011. TJX's worldwide effective income tax rate was 38.0% for fiscal 2012, 38.1% for fiscal 2011 and 37.8% for fiscal 2010.

These items amount to $20.0 million as of January 28, 2012, $11.0 million as of January 29, 2011 and $57.6 million as of January 30, 2010. TJX is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In nearly all jurisdictions, the tax years through fiscal 2001 are no longer subject to examination. TJX's accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. The amount of interest and penalties expensed was $5.8 million for the year ended January 28, 2012; $1.9 million for the year ended January 29, 2011 and $7.6 million for the year ended January 30, 2010. The accrued amounts for interest and penalties are $33.0 million as of January 28, 2012, $34.6 million as of January 29, 2011 and $50.6 million as of January 30, 2010. Based on the final resolution of tax examinations, judicial or administrative proceedings, changes in facts or law, expirations of statute of limitations in specific jurisdictions or other resolutions of, or changes in, tax positions, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits for certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns may change materially from those represented on the financial statements as of January 28, 2012. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that such circumstances may occur that would have a material effect on previously unrecognized tax benefits. As a result, the total net amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease, which would reduce the provision for taxes on earnings by a range estimated at $1.0 million to $50 million. </div>

<div> <div> Merchandise Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. TJX uses the retail method for valuing inventories which results in a weighted average cost. We utilize a permanent markdown strategy and lower the cost value of the inventory that is subject to markdown at the time the retail prices are lowered in our stores. We accrue for inventory obligations at the time inventory is shipped. At January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, in-transit inventory included in merchandise inventories was $395.9 million and $445.7 million, respectively. Comparable amounts are reflected in accounts payable at those dates. </div> </div>

<div> <div> <div> Note J.    Pension Plans and Other Retirement Benefits Pension: TJX has a funded defined benefit retirement plan which covers a majority of its full-time U.S. employees hired prior to February 1, 2006. As a result of an amendment to the plan, employees hired on or after February 1, 2006 do not participate in this plan but are eligible to receive enhanced employer contributions to their 401(k) plans. This plan amendment has not had a material impact on pension expense in the periods presented, but is expected to reduce net periodic pension costs gradually due to a reduction in the number of participants. Eligible employees who had attained twenty-one years of age and completed one year of service, remain covered under the plan. No employee contributions are required, and benefits are based principally on compensation earned in each year of service. Our funded defined benefit retirement plan assets are invested in domestic and international equity and fixed income securities, both directly and through investment funds. The plan does not invest in the securities of TJX. TJX also has an unfunded supplemental retirement plan which covers certain key employees and provides additional retirement benefits based on average compensation for certain of those employees or, alternatively based on benefits that would be provided under the funded retirement plan absent Internal Revenue Code limitations. Presented below is financial information relating to TJX's funded defined benefit retirement plan (funded plan) and its unfunded supplemental pension plan (unfunded plan) for the fiscal years indicated:   <div class="MetaData"> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="62%"> </td> <td valign="bottom"

The combined net accrued liability of $153.2 million at January 28, 2012 is reflected on the balance sheet as of that date as a current liability of $2.4 million and a long-term liability of $150.8 million.   The combined net accrued liability of $52.3 million at January 29, 2011 is reflected on the balance sheet as of that date as a current liability of $2.8 million and a long-term liability of $49.5 million. The estimated prior service cost that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost in fiscal 2013 for both the funded and unfunded plan is immaterial. The estimated net actuarial loss that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost in fiscal 2013 is $24.9 million for the funded plan and $2.0 million for the unfunded plan.

For fiscal 2011 and prior we used the Citigroup Pension Liability Index. TJX made aggregate cash contributions of $78.4 million in fiscal 2012, $103.4 million in fiscal 2011 and $147.9 million in fiscal 2010 to the defined benefit retirement plan and to fund current benefit and expense payments under the unfunded plan. TJX's policy with respect to the qualified defined benefit plan is to fund, at a minimum, the amount required to maintain a funded status of 80% of the applicable pension liability (the Funding Target) or such other amount sufficient to avoid restrictions with respect to the funding of nonqualified plans under the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of funding in fiscal 2012, we do not anticipate any required funding in fiscal 2013 for the defined benefit retirement plan. We anticipate making contributions of $3.4 million to fund current benefit and expense payments under the unfunded plan in fiscal 2013.   The following are the components of net periodic benefit cost and other amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to our pension plans:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"

long-term rate of return assumption by evaluating input from professional advisors taking into account the asset allocation of the portfolio and long-term asset class return expectations, as well as long-term inflation assumptions. The unrecognized gains and losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are amortized over the average remaining service life of participants. In addition, for the unfunded plan, unrecognized actuarial gains and losses that exceed 30% of the projected benefit obligation are fully recognized in net periodic pension cost.

Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the composite close price, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, as of the financial statement date. This information is provided by the independent pricing services IDC, Bloomberg and Reuters. Certain corporate and government bonds are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the bond is traded. Other bonds are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. When quoted prices are not available for identical or similar bonds, the bond is valued under a discounted cash flow approach that maximizes observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments, but includes adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable, such as credit and liquidity risks. All bonds are priced by IDC, JP Morgan and Reuters.   The investments in the limited partnerships are stated at the fair value of the Plan's partnership interest based on information supplied by the partnerships as compared to financial statements of the limited partnership or other fair value information as determined by management. Any cash equivalents or short-term investments are stated at cost which approximates fair value. The fair value of the investments in the common/collective trusts is determined based on net asset value as reported by their fund managers.

Risks are sought to be mitigated through asset diversification and the use of multiple investment managers. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual liability measurements and periodic asset/liability studies. <div> TJX also sponsors an employee savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for all eligible U.S. employees and a similar type plan for eligible employees in Puerto Rico. Assets under the plans totaled $787.1 million as of December 31, 2011 and $776.0 million as of December 31, 2010 and are invested in a variety of funds. Employees may contribute up to 50% of eligible pay, subject to limitation. TJX matches employee contributions, up to 5% of eligible pay, at rates generally ranging from 25% to 50%, based upon TJX's performance. Employees hired after February 1, 2006 are eligible for participation in the savings plans with an enhanced matching formula beginning five years after hire date. TJX contributed $11.8 million in fiscal 2012, $13.9 million in fiscal 2011 and $13.3 million in fiscal 2010 to the employee savings plans. Employees cannot invest their contributions in the TJX stock fund option in the plans, and may elect to invest up to only 50% of TJX's contribution in the TJX stock fund. The TJX stock fund has no other trading restrictions. The TJX stock fund represents 6.6% of plan investments at December 31, 2011, 4.7% at December 31, 2010 and 4.5% at December 31, 2009. TJX also has a nonqualified savings plan for certain U.S. employees. TJX matches employee deferrals at various rates which amounted to $2.6 million in fiscal 2012, $2.4 million in fiscal 2011 and $1.9 million in fiscal 2010. Although the plan is unfunded, in order to help meet its future obligations TJX transfers an amount equal to employee deferrals and the related company match to a separate "rabbi" trust. The trust assets, which are invested in a variety of mutual funds, are included in other assets on the balance sheets. In addition to the plans described above, TJX also maintains retirement/deferred savings plans for eligible associates at its foreign subsidiaries. We contributed $5.8 million for these plans in fiscal 2012, $5.2 million in fiscal 2011 and $4.6 million in fiscal 2010. Multiemployer Pension plans: TJX contributes to the National Retirement Fund (EIN #13-6130178) a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover union-represented employees. TJX contributed $10.8 million in fiscal 2012, $9.9 million in fiscal 2011 and $9.2 million in fiscal 2010 to the fund. TJX was listed in the plans' forms 5500 as providing more than 5% of the total contributions for the plan year ending December 31, 2010. The Pension Protection Act Zone Status of the plan is Critical and a rehabilitation plan has been implemented. Postretirement Medical: TJX has an unfunded postretirement medical plan that provides limited postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to retirees who participate in its retirement plan and who retired at age 55 or older with ten or more years of service. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, TJX eliminated this benefit for all active associates and modified the benefit to cover only retirees enrolled in the plan at that time. The plan amendment replaces the previous medical benefits with a defined amount (up to $35.00 per month) that approximates the cost of enrollment in the Medicare Plan for retirees enrolled in the plan at the time of modification. TJX paid $217,000 of benefits in fiscal 2012 and will pay similar amounts over the next several years. The postretirement medical liability as of January 28, 2012 is estimated at $1.4 million, of which $1.2 million is included in non-current liabilities on the balance sheet. The amendment to plan benefits in fiscal 2006 resulted in a negative plan amendment of $46.8 million which is being amortized into income over the average remaining life of the active plan participants. The unamortized balance of $19.9 million as of January 28, 2012 is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of which $3.8 million will be amortized into income in fiscal 2013. During fiscal 2012, there was a pre-tax net benefit of $3.4 million reflected in the consolidated statements of income as it relates to this post retirement medical plan. </div></div></div> </div>

<div> <div> Revenue Recognition: TJX records revenue at the time of sale and receipt of merchandise by the customer, net of a reserve for estimated returns. We estimate returns based upon our historical experience. We defer recognition of a layaway sale and its related profit to the accounting period when the customer receives the layaway merchandise. Proceeds from the sale of store cards as well as the value of store cards issued to customers as a result of a return or exchange are deferred until the customers use the cards to acquire merchandise. Based on historical experience, we estimate the amount of store cards that will not be redeemed ("store card breakage") and, to the extent allowed by local law, these amounts are amortized into income over the redemption period. Revenue recognized from store card breakage was $10.9 million in fiscal 2012, $10.1 million in fiscal 2011 and $7.8 million in fiscal 2010. </div> </div>

<div> <div> <div> <div> <div> Note O.    Contingent Obligations and Contingencies Contingent Obligations: TJX has contingent obligations on leases, for which it was a lessee or guarantor, which were assigned to third parties without TJX being released by the landlords. Over many years, we have assigned numerous leases that we originally leased or guaranteed to a significant number of third parties. With the exception of leases of former businesses for which we have reserved, we have rarely had a claim with respect to assigned leases, and accordingly, we do not expect that such leases will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We do not generally have sufficient information about these leases to estimate our potential contingent obligations under them, which could be triggered in the event that one or more of the current tenants does not fulfill their obligations related to one or more of these leases. TJX also has contingent obligations in connection with certain assigned or sublet properties that TJX is able to estimate. We estimate that the undiscounted obligations of (i) leases of former operations not included in our reserve for former operations and (ii) properties of our former operations that we would expect to sublet, if the subtenants did not fulfill their obligations, are approximately $105 million as of January 28, 2012. We believe that most or all of these contingent obligations will not revert to us and, to the extent they do, will be resolved for substantially less due to mitigating factors. <div> TJX is a party to various agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to breach of warranty or losses related to such matters as title to assets sold, specified environmental matters or certain income taxes. These obligations are typically limited in time and amount. There are no amounts reflected in our balance sheets with respect to these contingent obligations. Contingencies: TJX is involved from time to time in claims, proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Among these, TJX is a defendant in several lawsuits filed in federal and state courts in California, Nevada, New York and Texas purportedly brought as class or collective actions on behalf of various groups of current and former salaried and hourly associates in the U.S. The lawsuits allege violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and of state wage and hour statutes, including alleged misclassification of positions as exempt from overtime and alleged entitlement to additional wages for alleged off-the-clock work by hourly employees. The lawsuits seek unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees. TJX is vigorously defending these claims. At this time, TJX is not able to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or the amount of any loss that may arise from them. </div></div></div></div></div> </div>

<div> <div> Note H.    Segment Information <div> TJX operates four business segments. In the United States, its two segments are Marmaxx (T.J. Maxx and Marshalls) and HomeGoods. TJX Canada operates its stores in Canada (Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls), and TJX Europe operates its stores in Europe (T.K. Maxx and HomeSense). A.J. Wright ceased to be a segment following its consolidation. For fiscal 2012, TJX Canada and TJX Europe accounted for 24% of TJX's net sales, 16% of segment profit and 22% of consolidated assets. All of our stores, with the exception of HomeGoods and HomeSense, sell family apparel and home fashions. HomeGoods and HomeSense offer exclusively home fashions. By merchandise category, we derived approximately 60% of our sales from clothing (including footwear), 27% from home fashions and 13% from jewelry and accessories in fiscal 2012. TJX evaluates the performance of its segments based on "segment profit or loss," which it defines as pre-tax income before general corporate expense, provision (credit) for Computer Intrusion related costs, and interest expense, net.

<div> Note A.    Summary of Accounting Policies <div> <div> Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements of The TJX Companies, Inc. (referred to as "TJX" or "we") include the financial statements of all of TJX's subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All of its activities are conducted by TJX or its subsidiaries and are consolidated in these financial statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. </div></div> <div> <div> Fiscal Year: During fiscal 2010, TJX amended its bylaws to change its fiscal year end to the Saturday nearest to the last day of January of each year. Previously TJX's fiscal year ended on the last Saturday of January. The fiscal years ended January 28, 2012 (fiscal 2012), January 29, 2011 (fiscal 2011) and January 30, 2010 (fiscal 2010) all included 52 weeks. This change shifted the timing of TJX's next 53 week fiscal year to the fiscal year ending February 2, 2013 (fiscal 2013). </div></div> <div> <div> Earnings Per Share: All earnings per share amounts refer to diluted earnings per share, unless otherwise indicated, and have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split in the form of a dividend announced on January 5, 2012. </div></div> <div> <div> Use of Estimates: The preparation of the TJX financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. TJX considers its accounting policies relating to inventory valuation, impairments of long-lived assets, retirement obligations, share-based compensation, reserves for uncertain tax positions, reserves for former operations and loss contingencies to be the most significant accounting policies that involve management estimates and judgments. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material. </div></div> <div> <div> Revenue Recognition: TJX records revenue at the time of sale and receipt of merchandise by the customer, net of a reserve for estimated returns. We estimate returns based upon our historical experience. We defer recognition of a layaway sale and its related profit to the accounting period when the customer receives the layaway merchandise. Proceeds from the sale of store cards as well as the value of store cards issued to customers as a result of a return or exchange are deferred until the customers use the cards to acquire merchandise. Based on historical experience, we estimate the amount of store cards that will not be redeemed ("store card breakage") and, to the extent allowed by local law, these amounts are amortized into income over the redemption period. Revenue recognized from store card breakage was $10.9 million in fiscal 2012, $10.1 million in fiscal 2011 and $7.8 million in fiscal 2010. </div></div> <div> Consolidated Statements of Income Classifications: Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, includes the cost of merchandise sold and gains and losses on inventory and fuel-related derivative contracts; store occupancy costs (including real estate taxes, utility and maintenance costs and fixed asset depreciation); the costs of operating our distribution centers; payroll, benefits and travel costs directly associated with buying inventory; and systems costs related to the buying and tracking of inventory. Selling, general and administrative expenses include store payroll and benefit costs; communication costs; credit and check expenses; advertising; administrative and field management payroll, benefits and travel costs; corporate administrative costs and depreciation; gains and losses on non-inventory related foreign currency exchange contracts; and other miscellaneous income and expense items. </div> <div> <div> Cash and Cash Equivalents: TJX generally considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments with maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year at the date of purchase are included in short-term investments. Our investments are primarily high-grade commercial paper, institutional money market funds and time deposits with major banks. TJX had $15.1 million of restricted cash at January 28, 2012, and $14.6 million of restricted cash at January 29, 2011 all of which is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The restricted cash is held in escrow to secure TJX's performance of its obligations under certain leases in Europe. </div></div>   <div> <div> Merchandise Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. TJX uses the retail method for valuing inventories which results in a weighted average cost. We utilize a permanent markdown strategy and lower the cost value of the inventory that is subject to markdown at the time the retail prices are lowered in our stores. We accrue for inventory obligations at the time inventory is shipped. At January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, in-transit inventory included in merchandise inventories was $395.9 million and $445.7 million, respectively. Comparable amounts are reflected in accounts payable at those dates. </div></div> <div> Common Stock and Equity: On January 5, 2012, TJX announced that its Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock in the form of a stock dividend. One additional share was paid for each share held by holders of record as of the close of business on January 17, 2012. The shares were distributed on February 2, 2012 and resulted in the issuance of 373 million shares of common stock and a corresponding decrease of $373 million to retained earnings. The balance sheet as of January 28, 2012 has been adjusted to retroactively present the two-for-one stock split. In addition, all historical per share amounts and references to common stock activity, as well as basic and diluted share amounts utilized in the calculation of earnings per share in this report, have been adjusted to reflect this stock split. Equity transactions consist primarily of the repurchase by TJX of its common stock under its stock repurchase programs and the recognition of compensation expense and issuance of common stock under TJX's stock incentive plan. In fiscal 2010, we also issued shares upon conversion of convertible notes that were called for redemption, discussed in Note K. Under our stock repurchase programs we repurchase our common stock on the open market. The par value of the shares repurchased is charged to common stock with the excess of the purchase price over par first charged against any available additional paid-in capital ("APIC") and the balance charged to retained earnings. Due to the high volume of repurchases over the past several years, we have no remaining balance in APIC at the end of any of the years presented. All shares repurchased have been retired. Shares issued under TJX's stock incentive plan are issued from authorized but unissued shares, and proceeds received are recorded by increasing common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess over par added to APIC. Income tax benefits upon the expensing of options result in the creation of a deferred tax asset, while income tax benefits due to the exercise of stock options reduce deferred tax assets to the extent that an asset for the related grant has been created. Any tax benefits greater than the deferred tax assets created at the time of expensing the options are credited to APIC; any deficiencies in the tax benefits are debited to APIC to the extent a pool for such deficiencies exists. In the absence of a pool any deficiencies are realized in the related periods' statements of income through the provision for income taxes. Any excess income tax benefits are included in cash flows from financing activities in the statements of cash flows. The par value of restricted stock awards is also added to common stock when the stock is issued, generally at grant date. The fair value of the restricted stock awards in excess of par value is added to APIC as the awards are amortized into earnings over the related vesting periods. Upon the call of our convertible notes in fiscal 2010 most holders of the notes converted them into TJX common stock. When converted the face value of the convertible notes less unamortized debt discount was relieved, common stock was credited with the par value of the shares issued, and the excess of the carrying value of the convertible notes over par was added to APIC. </div> <div> <div> Share-Based Compensation: TJX accounts for share-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each award on the date of grant. TJX uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options awarded and for performance-based restricted stock awards TJX uses the market price on the date of the award. See Note I for a detailed discussion of share-based compensation. </div> <div> Interest: TJX's interest expense is presented as a net amount.

Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the related assets. Capitalized interest relates to construction of a data center and implementation of a merchandising system in fiscal 2012 and the implementation of a finance system in fiscal 2010. There was no capitalized interest in fiscal 2011.</div>  </div> <div> <div> Depreciation and Amortization: For financial reporting purposes, TJX provides for depreciation and amortization of property using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings are depreciated over 33 years. Leasehold costs and improvements are generally amortized over their useful life or the committed lease term (typically 10 years), whichever is shorter. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over 3 to 10 years. Depreciation and amortization expense for property was $490.6 million for fiscal 2012, $461.5 million for fiscal 2011 and $435.8 million for fiscal 2010. Amortization expense for property held under a capital lease was $2.2 million in each of fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant costs incurred for internally developed software are capitalized and amortized over 3 to 10 years. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of disposed assets and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and any gain or loss is included in income. Pre-opening costs, including rent, are expensed as incurred. </div></div> <div> <div> Lease Accounting: TJX begins to record rent expense when it takes possession of a store, which is typically 30 to 60 days prior to the opening of the store and generally occurs before the commencement of the lease term, as specified in the lease. </div></div> <div> <div> Long-Lived Assets: Information related to carrying values of our long-lived assets by geographic location is presented below:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr><td width="65%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;

Maxx chain. In addition, goodwill includes the excess of cost over the estimated fair market value of the net assets of Winners acquired by TJX in fiscal 1991. Goodwill totaled $72.2 million as of January 28, 2012, $72.2 million as of January 29, 2011 and $72.1 million as of January 30, 2010. Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life and accordingly is not amortized. Changes in goodwill are attributable to the effect of exchange rate changes on Winners' reported goodwill. Tradename is the value assigned to the name "Marshalls," acquired by TJX in fiscal 1996 as part of the acquisition of the Marshalls chain. The value of the tradename was determined by the discounted present value of assumed after-tax royalty payments, offset by a reduction for their pro-rata share of negative goodwill acquired. The Marshalls tradename is carried at a value of $107.7 million and is considered to have an indefinite life. TJX occasionally acquires or licenses other trademarks to be used in connection with private label merchandise. Such trademarks are included in other assets and are amortized to cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, over their useful life, generally from 7 to 10 years. Goodwill, tradename and trademarks, and the related accumulated amortization if any, are included in the respective operating segment to which they relate. </div></div> <div> <div> Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill and Tradename: TJX evaluates its long-lived assets and assets with indefinite lives (other than goodwill and tradename) for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable, and at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. An impairment exists when the undiscounted cash flow of an asset or asset group is less than the carrying cost of that asset or asset group. The evaluation for long-lived assets is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is generally at the individual store level. If indicators of impairment are identified, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is performed to determine if an impairment exists. The store-by-store evaluations did not indicate any recoverability issues (for any of our continuing operations) during the past three fiscal years. Our decision to close the A.J. Wright chain (see Note C) resulted in the impairment of A.J. Wright's fixed assets and impairment charges of $83 million are reflected in the A.J. Wright segment for fiscal 2011. Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred and at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, by comparing the carrying value of the related reporting unit to its fair value. An impairment exists when this analysis, using typical valuation models such as the discounted cash flow method, shows that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying cost of the reporting unit. Tradename is also tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the tradename may exceed its fair value and at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Testing is performed by comparing the discounted present value of assumed after-tax royalty payments to the carrying value of the tradename. There was no impairment related to our goodwill, tradename or trademarks in fiscal 2012, 2011 or 2010. </div></div> <div> <div> Advertising Costs: TJX expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $271.6 million for fiscal 2012, $249.8 million for fiscal 2011 and $227.5 million for fiscal 2010. </div></div> <div> <div> Foreign Currency Translation: TJX's foreign assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at fiscal year-end exchange rates with resulting translation gains and losses included in shareholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Activity of the foreign operations that affect the statements of income and cash flows is translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year. </div></div> <div> <div> Loss Contingencies: TJX records a reserve for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. TJX evaluates pending litigation and other contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts the reserve for such contingencies for changes in probable and reasonably estimable losses. TJX includes an estimate for related legal costs at the time such costs are both probable and reasonably estimable. </div></div> <div> <div> New Accounting Standards: We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow. </div></div> <div> <div> Subsequent Events: On February 2, 2012, one additional share of TJX stock was paid for each share held by holders of record as of the close of business on January 17, 2012 in accordance with a Board of Directors approved two-for-one stock split announced on January 5, 2012. As a result of the stock split TJX issued 373 million shares of its common stock and recorded a corresponding decrease of $373 million to retained earnings. The stock split was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the period of distribution.  The balance sheet as of January 28, 2012 has been adjusted to retroactively present the two-for-one stock split.</div></div> </div>

<div> <div> <div> <div> Note E.    Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share Capital Stock: On January 5, 2012, TJX announced that its Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock in the form of a stock dividend. One additional share was paid for each share held by holders of record as of the close of business on January 17, 2012. The shares were distributed on February 2, 2012 and resulted in the issuance of 373 million shares of common stock. The balance sheet as of January 28, 2012 has been adjusted to retroactively present the two-for-one stock split. Also, all historical per share amounts and references to common stock activity, as well as basic and diluted share amounts utilized in the calculation of earnings per share, have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split. TJX repurchased and retired 49.7 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.4 billion during fiscal 2012. TJX reflects stock repurchases in its financial statements on a "settlement" basis. We had cash expenditures under our repurchase programs of $1.3 billion in fiscal 2012, $1.2 billion in fiscal 2011 and $944.8 million in fiscal 2010. We repurchased 48.4 million shares in fiscal 2012, 54.9 million shares in fiscal 2011 and 53.7 million shares in fiscal 2010. These expenditures were funded primarily by cash generated from operations. In June 2011, TJX completed the $1 billion stock repurchase program authorized in February 2010 under which TJX repurchased 41.3 million shares of common stock. In February 2011, TJX's Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $1 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. Under the repurchase program authorized in February 2011, on a "trade date" basis, TJX repurchased 26.4 million shares of common stock at a cost of $775.4 million during fiscal 2012 and $224.6 million remained available at January 28, 2012 under this program. All shares repurchased under the stock repurchase programs have been retired. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, TJX's Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $2 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. TJX has five million shares of authorized but unissued preferred stock, $1 par value.   Earnings Per Share: The following schedule presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for

issued 30.2 million shares of common stock upon conversion of 462,057 zero coupon convertible subordinated notes which had a carrying value of $365.1 million. TJX redeemed the remaining 2,886 notes that were not converted for $2.3 million. The weighted average common shares for the diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the impact of outstanding stock options if the assumed proceeds per share of the option is in excess of the related fiscal period's average price of TJX's common stock. Such options are excluded because they would have an antidilutive effect. There were no such options excluded at the end of fiscal 2012 or 2011. There were 19.1 million such options excluded at the end of fiscal 2010.</div></div></div> </div>

<div> <div> Common Stock and Equity: On January 5, 2012, TJX announced that its Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock in the form of a stock dividend. One additional share was paid for each share held by holders of record as of the close of business on January 17, 2012. The shares were distributed on February 2, 2012 and resulted in the issuance of 373 million shares of common stock and a corresponding decrease of $373 million to retained earnings. The balance sheet as of January 28, 2012 has been adjusted to retroactively present the two-for-one stock split. In addition, all historical per share amounts and references to common stock activity, as well as basic and diluted share amounts utilized in the calculation of earnings per share in this report, have been adjusted to reflect this stock split. Equity transactions consist primarily of the repurchase by TJX of its common stock under its stock repurchase programs and the recognition of compensation expense and issuance of common stock under TJX's stock incentive plan. In fiscal 2010, we also issued shares upon conversion of convertible notes that were called for redemption, discussed in Note K. Under our stock repurchase programs we repurchase our common stock on the open market. The par value of the shares repurchased is charged to common stock with the excess of the purchase price over par first charged against any available additional paid-in capital ("APIC") and the balance charged to retained earnings. Due to the high volume of repurchases over the past several years, we have no remaining balance in APIC at the end of any of the years presented. All shares repurchased have been retired. Shares issued under TJX's stock incentive plan are issued from authorized but unissued shares, and proceeds received are recorded by increasing common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess over par added to APIC. Income tax benefits upon the expensing of options result in the creation of a deferred tax asset, while income tax benefits due to the exercise of stock options reduce deferred tax assets to the extent that an asset for the related grant has been created. Any tax benefits greater than the deferred tax assets created at the time of expensing the options are credited to APIC; any deficiencies in the tax benefits are debited to APIC to the extent a pool for such deficiencies exists. In the absence of a pool any deficiencies are realized in the related periods' statements of income through the provision for income taxes. Any excess income tax benefits are included in cash flows from financing activities in the statements of cash flows. The par value of restricted stock awards is also added to common stock when the stock is issued, generally at grant date. The fair value of the restricted stock awards in excess of par value is added to APIC as the awards are amortized into earnings over the related vesting periods. Upon the call of our convertible notes in fiscal 2010 most holders of the notes converted them into TJX common stock. When converted the face value of the convertible notes less unamortized debt discount was relieved, common stock was credited with the par value of the shares issued, and the excess of the carrying value of the convertible notes over par was added to APIC. </div> </div>

<div> <div> Use of Estimates: The preparation of the TJX financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. TJX considers its accounting policies relating to inventory valuation, impairments of long-lived assets, retirement obligations, share-based compensation, reserves for uncertain tax positions, reserves for former operations and loss contingencies to be the most significant accounting policies that involve management estimates and judgments. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material. </div> </div>
