PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

DESTINATION XL GROUP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In the opinion of management of Destination XL Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. and collectively with its subsidiaries is referred to as the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2014.

The information set forth in these statements may be subject to normal year-end adjustments. The information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s business historically has been seasonal in nature, and the results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53- week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013 are 52-week periods ending January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014, respectively.

Segment Information

The Company reports its operations as one reportable segment, Big & Tall Men’s Apparel, which consists of two principal operating segments: its retail business and its direct businesses. The Company considers its operating segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and have therefore aggregated them into a single reporting segment. The direct operating segment includes the operating results and assets for LivingXL^® and ShoesXL^®.

Reclassifications

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company is reporting revenue from its on-site tailoring and the related tailoring costs associated with such revenue as part of “Sales” and “Cost of Goods Sold Including Occupancy Costs”, respectively, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has reclassified the revenue and related cost of goods sold for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 from “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses”, where the amounts were previously netted, to “Sales” and “Cost of Goods Sold Including Occupancy Costs.”

Intangibles

At August 2, 2014, the “Casual Male” trademark had a carrying value of $1.9 million and is considered a definite-lived asset. The Company is amortizing the remaining carrying value of $1.9 million on an accelerated basis, consistent with projected cash flows through fiscal 2018, its estimated remaining useful life.

The Company’s “Rochester” trademark is considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset and has a carrying value of $1.5 million. During the first six months of fiscal 2014, no event or circumstance occurred which would cause a reduction in the fair value of the Company’s reporting units, requiring interim testing of the Company’s “Rochester” trademark.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.

The valuation techniques utilized are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related asset or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes observable market inputs (quoted market prices) when measuring fair value whenever possible.

The fair value of long-term debt is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. At August 2, 2014 the fair value approximates the carrying amount based upon terms available to the Company for borrowings with similar arrangements and remaining maturities.

The fair value of indefinite-lived assets, which consists of the Company’s “Rochester” trademark, is measured on a non-recurring basis in connection with the Company’s annual impairment test. The fair value of the trademark is determined using a projected discounted cash flow analysis based on unobservable inputs and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. See Intangibles above.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

8

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) - (“AOCI”)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes amounts related to foreign currency and pension plans and is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income and reclassifications from AOCI for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the Company’s retail store operation is recorded upon purchase of merchandise by customers, net of an allowance for sales returns. Revenue from the Company’s catalog and e-commerce operations is recognized at the time a customer order is delivered, net of an allowance for sales returns. Revenue is recognized by the operating segment that fulfills a customer’s order.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company believes that the following impending standards may have an impact on its future filings. The applicability of any standard will be evaluated by the Company and is still subject to review by the Company.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). The objective of ASU No. 2014-08 is to clarify the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and also modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for new disposals beginning in the first quarter of 2014, provided financial statements have not been issued before the release of this standard.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” as well as various other sections of the ASC, such as, but not limited to, ASC 340-20, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Capitalized Advertising Costs.” The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that would result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets on the balance sheet). Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its Consolidated Financial Statements, including the choice of retrospective application upon adoption.

Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A.

On June 26, 2013, the Company amended its credit facility with Bank of America, N.A by executing the First Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility provides for a maximum committed borrowing of $100 million, which, pursuant to an accordion feature, may be increased to $150 million upon the request of the Company and the agreement of the lender(s) participating in the increase. The Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $20 million for commercial and standby letter of credits or the sublimit of up to $15 million for swingline loans. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 26, 2018. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on all of its assets.

Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate (determined as the highest of (a) Bank of America N.A.’s prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the annual LIBOR rate for the respective interest period) plus a varying percentage, based on the Company’s borrowing base, of 0.50%-0.75% for prime-based borrowings and 1.50%-1.75% for LIBOR-based borrowings. The Company is also subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%. At August 2, 2014, the Company’s prime-based interest rate was 3.75%. At August 2, 2014, the Company had approximately $20.0 million of its outstanding borrowings in a LIBOR-based contract with an interest rate of 1.65%. The LIBOR-based contracts expired August 7, 2014 through August 10, 2014. When a LIBOR-based borrowing expires, the borrowings revert back to prime-based borrowings unless the Company enters into a new LIBOR-based borrowing arrangement.

At August 2, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $25.7 million. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $2.2 million and documentary letters of credit were $1.1 million. Unused excess availability at August 2, 2014 was $71.0 million. Average monthly borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility during the first six months of fiscal 2014 were $28.3 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $65.2 million. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is determined using an availability formula based on eligible assets, with increased advance rates based on seasonality.

The fair value of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at August 2, 2014 approximated the carrying value.

Long-Term Debt

Components of long-term debt are as follows:

Pursuant to a Master Loan and Security Agreement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, dated July 20, 2007 and amended September 30, 2013 (the “Master Agreement”), the Company has entered into twelve equipment security notes (in aggregate, the “Notes”). The Company has borrowed an aggregate of $26.4 million between September 2013 and June 2014, of which $8.9 million was borrowed during the first six months of fiscal 2014. The Notes are for a term of 48 months and accrue interest at fixed rates ranging from 3.07% and 3.50%. Principal and interest are paid monthly, in arrears.

The Notes are secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s rights, title and interest in and to certain equipment. The Company is subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 1% of the prepaid principal of the Notes until the first anniversary, 0.5% of the prepaid principal from the first anniversary until the second anniversary and no prepayment penalty thereafter. The Master Agreement includes default provisions that are customary for financings of this type and are similar and no more restrictive than the Company’s existing Credit Facility.

10

All share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock, are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations based on their fair values and vesting periods. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). The Company reviews its valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as an expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ from the Company’s current estimates.

2013-2016 LTIP

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the 2013-2016 Destination XL Group, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013-2016 LTIP”) was approved and put into place. Pursuant to the terms of the 2013-2016 LTIP, on the date of grant, each participant was granted an unearned and unvested award equal in value to four times his/her annual salary multiplied by the applicable long-term incentive program percentage, which is 100% for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 70% for its senior executives and 50% for other participants in the plan, which the Company refers to as the “Projected Benefit Amount.” Each participant was granted 50% of the Projected Benefit Amount in shares of restricted stock, 25% in stock options and the remaining 25% in cash. All shares were granted from the Company’s 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan.

Of the total Projected Benefit Amount, 50% is subject to time-based vesting and 50% is subject to performance-based vesting. The time-vested portion of the award (half of the shares of restricted stock, options and cash) vests in three installments with 20% of the time-vested portion vesting at the end of fiscal 2014, 40% at the end of fiscal 2015 and the remaining 40% vesting at the end of fiscal 2016.

For the performance-based portion of the award to vest, the Company must achieve, during any rolling four fiscal quarter period that ends on or before the end of fiscal 2015, revenue of at least $550 million and an operating margin of not less than 8.0%. In the event that the Company achieves its target of $550 million in revenue with an operating margin of not less than 8.0% during any rolling fiscal four quarters prior to fiscal 2016, then the total Projected Benefit Amount vests in full.

If the targets for vesting of the performance-based portion of the award are not met by the end of fiscal 2015, then the performance-based target can still be met in fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2016, the Company must achieve revenue of at least $600 million and an operating margin of not less than 8.0% for participants to receive 100% vesting of the performance-based portion of the Projected Benefit Amount. If the Company does not meet the performance target at the end of fiscal 2016, but the Company is able to achieve revenue equal to or greater than $510 million at the end of fiscal 2016 and the operating margin is not less than 8.0%, then the participants will receive a pro-rata portion of the performance-based award based on minimum sales of $510 million (50% payout) and $600 million (100% payout).

Assuming the Company achieves the performance target and 100% of the Projected Benefit Amount vests, excluding estimated forfeitures, the total potential value of all awards over this four-year period, as of August 2, 2014, would be approximately $19.5 million. Approximately half of the compensation expense relates to the time-vested awards, which is being expensed over forty-four months, based on the respective vesting dates. As the performance targets were not deemed probable at August 2, 2014, no expense for the performance-based awards has been recognized through the first six months of fiscal 2014. However, as a result of two terminations during the first six months of fiscal 2014, the Company did recognize additional stock compensation expense of approximately $77,000 related to the partial pro-rata vesting of the performance awards that each former employee was entitled to pursuant to the terms of the 2013-2016 LTIP. In total, 10,200 shares of performance-related restricted stock vested and performance-related options to purchase 12,418 shares of common stock vested.

11

2006 Plan—Stock Option and Restricted Share Award Activity

Pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan”), the Company has 7,250,000 shares authorized for issuance, of which 4,250,000 shares may be subject to the granting of awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights.

The following tables summarize the stock option activity and restricted share activity under the 2006 Plan for the first six months of fiscal 2014:

1992 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1992 Plan”)—Stock Option Activity

The following table summarizes stock option activity under the 1992 Plan for the first six months of fiscal 2014:

12

Share Availability Under the 2006 Plan

At August 2, 2014, the Company had 1,175,472 shares available for future grant under the 2006 Plan, of which 1,035,230 remain available under the sublimit for awards other than options and stock appreciation rights. No further grants can be made under the 1992 Plan.

Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan

The Company granted 20,155 shares of common stock, with a fair value of approximately $105,942, to certain of its non-employee directors as compensation in lieu of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2014.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options and Restricted Stock

For the first six months of fiscal 2014, the Company granted 74,018 shares of restricted stock, 5,448 shares of deferred stock and stock options to purchase 106,882 shares of common stock. For the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company granted stock options to purchase 2,739,187 shares of common stock and 2,229,364 shares of restricted stock. The majority of the stock option and restricted stock grants for both periods is attributable to the Company’s 2013-2016 LTIP and include a combination of time-based and performance-based awards.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used for grants for the first six months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013:

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock; the expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

For the first six months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The total compensation cost related to time-vested stock options and time-based restricted stock awards not yet recognized as of August 2, 2014 is approximately $4.0 million, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining life of 21 months. At August 2, 2014, the Company had $7.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to its performance-based stock options and restricted stock. As discussed above, the Company will begin recognizing compensation if, and when, achievement of the performance targets becomes probable.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share:

13

The following potential common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in each period because the exercise price of such options was greater than the average market price per share of common stock for the respective periods.

The above options, which were outstanding at August 2, 2014, expire from August 4, 2014 to January 29, 2024.

Excluded from the Company’s computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, were 936,224 shares of unvested performance-based restricted stock and 1,158,570 performance-based stock options. These performance-based awards will be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share if, and when, the respective performance targets are achieved. In addition, another 936,224 shares of unvested time-based restricted stock were excluded from the computation of basic earnings per share until such shares vest. See Note 3, Stock-Based Compensation, for a discussion of the Company’s 2013-2016 LTIP and the respective performance targets.

Although the shares of performance-based and time-based restricted stock issued in connection with the 2013-2016 LTIP are not considered outstanding or common stock equivalents for earnings per share purposes until certain vesting and performance thresholds are achieved, all 1,872,448 shares of restricted stock are considered issued and outstanding. Each share of restricted stock has all of the rights of a holder of the Company’s common stock, including, but not limited to, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends, which rights are forfeited if the restricted stock is forfeited.

At August 2, 2014, the Company had total deferred tax assets of approximately $73.9 million, total deferred tax liabilities of $16.0 million and a corresponding valuation allowance of $57.9 million.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company entered into a three-year cumulative loss position and based on forecasts at that time, the Company expected the cumulative three-year loss to increase as of the end of fiscal 2014. Management determined that this represented significant negative evidence at February 1, 2014. While the Company has projected it will return to profitability, generate taxable income and ultimately emerge from a three-year cumulative loss, based on a consideration of all positive and negative evidence as of February 1, 2014, the Company established a full allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Based on the Company’s forecast for fiscal 2014, the Company believes that a full allowance remains appropriate at this time.

As of August 2, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $111.9 million for federal income tax purposes and $64.1 million for state income tax purposes that are available to offset future taxable income through fiscal year 2034. Additionally, the Company has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $2.3 million, which are available to further reduce income taxes over an indefinite period. Additionally, the Company has $0.1 million and $2.5 million of net operating loss for tax purposes related to the Company’s operations in the Netherlands and Canada, respectively, though both are expected to expire largely unutilized. Included in the net operating loss carryforwards for both federal and state income tax is approximately $13.4 million relating to stock compensation deductions, the tax benefit from which, if realized, will be credited to additional paid-in capital.

14

The utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and the realization of tax benefits in future years depends predominantly upon having taxable income. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership may result in a limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards which may be used in future years.

The Company’s tax provision for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, which was computed on a discrete basis, reflects the increase in state gross margin tax and foreign income tax as well as an increase in the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was 26.1%, which was lower than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate and blended state tax rate due to impact of discrete and permanent items that reduced the income tax benefit recognized on the Company’s pre-tax loss.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. The charge is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Pursuant to Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company will recognize the benefit from a tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon audit based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits at August 2, 2014 was $3.2 million. This amount is directly associated with a prior year tax position related to exiting the European direct business. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit has been presented as a reduction in the reported amounts of its federal and state NOL carryforwards. It is the Company’s policy to record interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income taxes; however, no penalties or interest have been accrued on this liability because the carryforwards have not yet been utilized.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through fiscal 1998, with remaining fiscal years subject to income tax examination by federal tax authorities.

BUSINESS SUMMARY

Destination XL Group, Inc. (formerly known as Casual Male Retail Group, Inc., and together with our subsidiaries the “Company”) is the largest specialty retailer of big & tall men’s apparel with retail and direct operations in the United States, London, England and direct businesses throughout the United States and Canada. We operate under the trade names of Destination XL^®, DXL^®, Casual Male XL^®, Casual Male XL Outlets, Rochester Clothing, B&T Factory Direct™, ShoesXL^® and LivingXL^®. At August 2, 2014, we operated 113 Destination XL stores, 181 Casual Male XL retail stores, 51 Casual Male XL outlet stores and 9 Rochester Clothing stores. Our direct business includes our DestinationXL.com e-commerce site and several mailers which support our brands and product extensions.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us” and “the Company” refer to Destination XL Group, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries. We refer to our fiscal years which end on January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014 as “fiscal 2014” and “fiscal 2013,” respectively. Both fiscal years are 52-week periods.

SEGMENT REPORTING

We report our operations as one reportable segment, Big & Tall Men’s Apparel, which consists of our two principal operating segments: retail and direct. We consider our operating segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristic, production processes and operations, and have therefore aggregated them into a single reporting segment.

COMPARABLE SALES

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, total comparable sales for all periods include our retail stores that have been open for at least 13 months and our U.S. direct business. Our U.S. direct business is included as part of our calculation of total comparable sales because we are a multi-channel retailer offering our customers convenient alternatives for their shopping needs. Retail comparable sales reflect same-store sales and exclude our U.S. direct business. The method of calculating comparable sales varies across the retail industry and, as a result, our calculation of comparable sales is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

16

Through the end of fiscal 2013, the majority of our DXL stores were considered relocations and comparable to all the closed Casual Male XL and/or Rochester Clothing stores in each respective market area for the first twelve months. Due to the small number of DXL stores opened for more than a year, we believed that this was a useful comparison as to how a DXL store was performing in the market when compared to the sales of the predecessor stores. However, with 61 DXL stores open at least 13 months, we believe that a traditional DXL comparable will have more meaning going forward. Therefore, beginning with fiscal year 2014, only DXL stores that have been open at least 13 months will be included in comparable store sales.

SEARS CANADA BUSINESS

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we notified Sears Canada of our intent to exit the business and began the process of an orderly wind-down. Because we are winding down the business, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, sales from our Sears Canada business will no longer be included in our comparable sales results. We anticipate concluding the wind-down in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Sears Canada represented less than 5% of our total direct business in fiscal 2013.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we began reporting alterations revenue in top line sales with the associated tailor wages in cost of goods sold. As alterations and tailors become a more significant part of our business model, we believe the revenue and cost should be shown within gross margin rather than encompassed in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). We have reclassified the results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 to reflect this presentation on a comparative basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table shows GAAP net loss per diluted share for fiscal 2014 and Non-GAAP adjusted net loss per diluted share for fiscal 2014, with a comparison to GAAP net income for fiscal 2014. See “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted net loss.

Executive Summary

For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we reported a net loss of $4.0 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 of $1.6 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share. For the second quarter of fiscal 2014 we incurred transition costs of $1.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share (no tax benefit), which includes $0.6 million of pre-opening occupancy costs, $0.8 million of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and $0.3 million related to trademark amortization. This compares to transition costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 of $3.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. Our results for the second quarter include a loss from operations from our Sears Canada business, as discussed above, of $1.0 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. On a non-GAAP basis, our adjusted net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, assuming a normal tax benefit, was $2.4 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, as compared to $(0.03) per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Our comparable sales growth continues to be driven by our DXL stores, which have had double-digit comparable sales increases for five consecutive quarters. Comparable sales for our DXL stores were up 11.3% for the second quarter of

17

fiscal 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. We are seeing a positive shift in our DXL store metrics. In fiscal 2013, our comparable sales growth was primarily driven by an increase in dollars per transaction. For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, however, while our dollars per transaction decreased slightly by 1.1%, the number of transactions increased by 13.1% and our conversion rate from store traffic increased 6.2%, primarily as a result of our marketing and in-store promotional initiatives. We estimate that sales per square foot for our DXL stores will be $160-$165 per square foot at the end of fiscal 2014 as compared to $147 per square foot at the end of fiscal 2013.

Our Rochester Clothing and Casual Male XL retail and outlet stores reported a combined comparable sales increase of 7.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. As we discussed in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we returned to standard operating hours for many of our Casual Male XL retail stores and this has had a significant impact on sales.

Sales from our U.S. direct business, with a comparable sales increase of 0.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, were disappointing but not unexpected. This is partially due to the fact that our direct business was still up against our prior year catalog business for the beginning of the second quarter. However, during the quarter we improved website functionality, increased our digital display marketing and promotional cadence and, as a result, with no residual prior year catalog sales, we saw a double-digit comparable sales increase in our direct business in the month of July. We expect to see a similar level of growth through the remainder of fiscal 2014, as our internet business continues to grow with no residual prior year catalog sales.

Our merchandise margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased by approximately 120 basis points from the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The primary reason for the decrease was the increased promotional activity as we focus on driving conversion of our Casual Male XL customers to our DXL stores and top line sales. Markdowns were higher due to increased in-store promotions and customer acquisition initiatives. While these efforts adversely affected our merchandise margin rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we believe it is helping to transition our existing customer base to our DXL store locations and to drive overall store traffic.

As we outlined during the first quarter, we are still in the process of implementing several other initiatives in fiscal 2014. In summary:

18

Marketing Campaign

During the first six months of fiscal 2014, we implemented several initiatives to educate our Casual Male XL customer about our new DXL stores, including several promotions to entice our existing customers to shop the new store format. During the second quarter, we distributed, on a limited basis to customers who had not shopped within 2 years, our “Experience Book” to help introduce our customers to the DXL concept. In addition, we have also had great response to our “Free Polo Shirt” offer. These types of programs have had a very positive impact on increased traffic to our DXL stores and customer reactivations.

As we head into our fall selling season, we will launch our fall advertising campaign, which will include television and radio commercials. In an effort to align our media presence with our key selling weeks, we will be moving our fall advertising closer to the holidays. We will launch an initial flight of advertising in mid-October, which is about three weeks later than in the fall of 2013, and will run the second flight of television and radio commercials at Thanksgiving running through mid-December. With this shift in advertising, our sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 will be up against the earlier advertising campaign in fiscal 2013. We expect this shift will have a negative impact on our third quarter sales, but we believe the later timing will help drive traffic and sales during the key holiday shopping season.

Fiscal 2014 Outlook

Our earnings guidance of a net loss of $(0.21)-$(0.27) per diluted share, or $(0.12)-$(0.16) per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis, remains unchanged from the guidance previously disclosed. We have adjusted our expected year-end borrowing levels to reflect our intention to take early receipt of Spring merchandise at the end of the fiscal year. Accordingly, our guidance for fiscal 2014 is as follows:

We expect to spend approximately $45.7 million in capital expenditures in fiscal 2014, which will be partially offset by approximately $9.3 million in tenant allowances, primarily related to opening our DXL stores. We expect to fund the remainder of our capital expenditures through a combination of operating cash flow, equipment financings, and borrowings under our credit facility. At the end of fiscal 2014, we expect to have total debt of approximately $55.0-$60.0 million, consisting of $20.0 million from equipment financing notes with the balance from our credit facility. This is a slight increase from our previous estimate of $50.0-$55.0 million. At the end of the year, we plan to take early receipt of a portion of our spring inventory to ensure that we are in a strong inventory position before the season. As a result, from a liquidity perspective, we expect cash flow from operating activities of $11.6 million (including the $9.3 million of tenant allowances), resulting in free cash flow (as defined below under “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures”) of approximately $(34.1) million. This is a change from our previous estimate of cash flow from operating activities of $22.5 million and free cash flow of $(23.2) million and primarily relates to the shift in inventory receipts.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures

The above discussion includes a net loss for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, on a non-GAAP basis, of $(0.05) per diluted share and $(0.09) per diluted share, respectively. In addition, our guidance for fiscal 2014 includes a net loss, on a non-GAAP basis, of $(0.12) to $(0.16) per diluted share. For fiscal 2014, we expect to continue to provide a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets; therefore, we will not recognize any income tax benefit in fiscal 2014.

The net loss of $(0.12) to $(0.16) per diluted share for fiscal 2014 was calculated by taking the 2014 forecasted net loss of $(0.21)-$(0.27) and multiplying each by 40% to calculate an estimated income tax benefit of $0.09-$0.11 per diluted share, resulting in an adjusted non-GAAP net loss of $(0.12)-$(0.16) per diluted share.

19

For comparison purposes, the following is a reconciliation of net loss, on a GAAP basis, to a net loss, on a non-GAAP basis, assuming a normal tax benefit of 40% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014:

The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flow is not a measure determined by GAAP and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, all companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner and, accordingly, “free cash flows” presented in this report may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We calculate free cash flows as cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures and discretionary store asset acquisitions. We believe that inclusion of this non-GAAP measure helps investors gain a better understanding of our cash flow performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods. The following table reconciles our non-GAAP free cash flow measure:

The decrease in free cash flow of $6.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the first six months of the prior year is due to the operating loss and timing of certain working capital accounts, specifically inventory, offset slightly by a decrease in capital expenditures related to our DXL store openings.

Financial Summary

Sales

20

For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, total sales were $103.7 million as compared to $98.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase of $5.7 million in total sales was primarily due to an increase in comparable sales of $5.6 million and an increase in non-comparable store sales of $5.0 million, partially offset by $3.9 million in closed stores and a decrease of $1.0 million which primarily relates to Sears Canada. The comparable sales increase of 7.0% consisted of an increase in our retail business of 8.5%, or $5.5 million, and an increase in our direct business of 0.5%, or $0.1 million.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, comparable sales from our 61 DXL stores continue to perform in the double-digits, with an increase of 11.3%, or $2.4 million, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The Casual Male XL retail and outlet stores and Rochester Clothing stores had a combined comparable sales increase of 7.1%, or $3.1 million, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. This increase was principally driven by our Casual Male XL retail stores. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we returned to standard operating hours for many of our Casual Male XL stores which is having a positive impact on sales. Our 181 Casual Male XL retail stores had a comparable sales increase of 11.3%, or $3.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Our 9 Rochester Clothing stores were down 2.0% or $(0.1) million, and our Casual Male XL outlets were flat over the prior year second quarter.

With respect to our U.S. direct business, sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 improved slightly with an increase of 0.5% over the prior year. We discontinued our catalog business in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, so our comparable sales are still affected by those prior year sales. However, for July 2014, with no prior year catalog sales and increased marketing and promotional efforts, we saw a double digit increase in sales. In the long-term, we expect our direct business to more than replace the shortfall in sales from legacy brand catalogs.

For the first six months of fiscal 2014, total sales were $200.5 million as compared to $192.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013. This increase of 8.5 million is primarily the result of an increase in comparable sales of $8.5 million and an increase in non-comparable store sales of $9.0 million, partially offset by $7.8 million in sales from closed stores and a decrease of $1.2 million, primarily related to Sears Canada. The comparable sales increase of 5.2% consisted of an increase in our retail business of 6.6%, or $8.3 million, and an increase in our direct business of 0.7%, or $0.2 million.

As discussed above, through the end of fiscal 2013, revenue from our on-site tailoring business was netted against the associated tailoring costs and included in SG&A expense. However, because tailoring is increasing as part of our growing DXL business, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we started reporting tailoring revenue as a component of sales, with the associated costs recorded as cost of goods sold. Accordingly, the results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 were reclassified to reflect this presentation. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, sales increased $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, cost of goods sold increased $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

The following is a summary of the breakdown of our comparable sales for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014:

Gross Profit Margin

For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, our gross margin rate, inclusive of occupancy costs, was 45.7% as compared to a gross margin rate of 46.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease of 40 basis points for the second quarter of

21

fiscal 2014 was the result of a decrease in merchandise margin of 120 basis points partially offset by a decrease in occupancy costs of 80 basis points. The decrease in merchandise margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was due to an increase in our promotional activity. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we implemented a new promotional coupon program to incentivize our Casual Male XL customers to visit one of our DXL stores. We continued with similar promotional programs during the second quarter, which as discussed above is helping to improve our store traffic and number of transactions and will benefit our sales in the long-term as well. The improvement in occupancy costs of 80 basis points is due to a decrease in lease termination costs as a result of keeping more Casual Male XL stores open until the contractual lease termination. On a dollar basis, occupancy costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased less than 1.0% over the prior year second quarter.

For the first six months of fiscal 2014, our gross margin rate, inclusive of occupancy costs, was 45.6% as compared to 46.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2013. The decrease of 110 basis points was due to a decrease in merchandise margin of 140 basis points offset partially by a decrease in occupancy costs of 30 basis points. The decrease in merchandise margin was due to the marketing initiatives in addition to clearance markdowns incurred in the first quarter.

For fiscal 2014, we are expecting that our occupancy costs will increase approximately $1.5 to $1.7 million as a result of adding approximately 40 DXL stores in fiscal 2014. However, we expect occupancy costs as a percentage of sales will improve 50 to 70 basis points over fiscal 2013. We are expecting that our merchandise margins, which have improved over 170 basis points over the past four years, will decrease by 60 to 100 basis points as a result of our increase in promotional activity which is geared towards converting our customers to our DXL stores and improving overall store traffic. Accordingly, for fiscal 2014, we are expecting that gross margin will range from a decrease of 50 basis points to an increase of 10 basis points as compared to fiscal 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased to 43.6% as compared to 43.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. On a dollar basis, SG&A expenses increased $2.2 million, or 5.0%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the prior year’s second quarter. The increase of $2.2 million includes increased marketing costs of approximately $1.1 million and an increase in payroll-related costs of $1.1 million. The increase in payroll-related costs primarily relates to the return to standard hours in our Casual Male XL stores and an increase in incentive accruals as compared to the prior year. Preopening payroll, training and other incremental costs to support our DXL store openings were $0.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to $1.3 million in the prior year second quarter.

For the first six months of fiscal 2014, SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 43.3% as compared to 42.3% for the first six months of fiscal 2013. On a dollar basis, SG&A expenses increased $5.6 million, or 6.8%, for the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the prior year’s first six months. Similar to the second quarter, the increase was primarily driven by increased store payroll to support the return to standard hours in our Casual Male XL stores, higher than expected payroll during the first quarter in our DXL stores (which did not recur in the second quarter), increased marketing costs, and increased incentive accruals as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013.

For fiscal 2014, we are expecting that our SG&A expenses will increase to $176.0 to $177.6 million as we continue to grow the DXL format. The $5.3-$6.9 million increase from fiscal 2013 is primarily related to incremental operating costs associated with our growing DXL concept, as well as expected costs to close approximately 1 Rochester Clothing and 39 Casual Male XL stores. Overall, we expect to limit our SG&A growth rates, except where necessary to support our growth activities or where there are unanticipated costs that are necessary to support our overall activities.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the first six months of fiscal 2014 increased $2.4 million to $11.1 million as compared to $8.7 million for the first six of fiscal 2013. The increase of $2.4 million is due to the store growth associated with our DXL store concept.

22

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense was $0.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to $0.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. For the first six months of fiscal 2014, interest costs increased $0.4 million to $0.8 million as compared to $0.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013. Interest expense for the past few years has remained relatively low due to minimal borrowings on our credit facility. However, with our continued planned store growth in fiscal 2014, we expect interest costs to increase as we fund a portion of our store growth with equipment financing loans and borrowings under our credit facility. Through the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we funded approximately $26.4 million of our capital expenditures through equipment financing. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more discussion regarding our current credit facility, equipment financings and future liquidity needs.

Income Taxes

At August 2, 2014, we had total deferred tax assets of $73.9 million, total deferred tax liabilities of $16.0 million and a corresponding valuation allowance of $57.9 million. The deferred tax assets include approximately $39.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $6.6 million of deferred gain on our sale-leaseback and, to a lesser extent, other book/tax timing differences.

At the end of fiscal 2013, we entered into a three-year cumulative loss and we expected our three-year cumulative loss to increase at the end of fiscal 2014. When considering all positive and negative evidence as of February 1, 2014, we established a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. Based on our earnings guidance for fiscal 2014, we believe that a full valuation allowance remains appropriate at this time.

Our tax provision for the first six months of fiscal 2014, which was computed on a discrete basis, reflects the increase in the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as well as state gross margin tax and foreign income tax. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was 26.1%, which was lower than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate and blended state tax rate due to impact of discrete and permanent items that reduced the income tax benefit recognized on the Company’s pre-tax loss.

Net Income

For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we had a net loss of $4.0 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.6 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. On a non-GAAP basis, assuming a normalized tax rate for fiscal 2014, the net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $(0.05) per diluted share.

For the first six months of fiscal 2014, we had a net loss of $7.6 million, or $(0.16) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.6 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal 2013. On a non-GAAP basis, assuming a normalized tax rate for fiscal 2014, the net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2014 was $4.5 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share. See “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures” above for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures.

Included in the net loss for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014 is a loss from operations from our Sears Canada business of $1.0 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, and $1.1 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, respectively. The loss includes a charge, recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, of approximately $0.8 million related primarily to inventory reserves and sales allowances as a result of our decision to exit the business. As we discussed above, we intend to complete the exit of this business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Excluding the charge related to Sears Canada, our decrease in earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was in line with our projections and reflects the increased costs we are incurring as we continue to rollout our DXL concept. Our results for the first six months of fiscal 2014 are slightly lower than our expectations due to the weak retail environment in February and March, largely due to the tough winter weather. However, sales recovered in April and have been in line with expectations for the remainder of the first six months. As previously disclosed, we are forecasting an increase in operating loss for fiscal 2014, as compared to fiscal 2013, as we continue to rollout our DXL stores.

Inventory

At August 2, 2014, total inventory was $116.0 million compared to $105.6 million at February 1, 2014 and $107.9 million at August 3, 2013. While inventory levels on a dollar basis increased $8.1 million as compared to August 3, 2013, on a

23

unit basis, inventories decreased by approximately 1.0%. The increase of $8.1 million is primarily due to a greater mix of higher cost branded apparel as well as the timing of receipts over the prior year’s second quarter.

SEASONALITY

Historically, and consistent with the retail industry, we have experienced seasonal fluctuations as it relates to our operating income and net income. Traditionally, a significant portion of our operating income and net income is generated in the fourth quarter, as a result of the “Holiday” season.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and availability under our credit facility, as amended, with Bank of America, N.A (“Credit Facility”). Our current cash needs are primarily for working capital (essentially inventory requirements), capital expenditures and growth initiatives. As discussed above, our capital expenditures for fiscal 2014 are expected to be $45.7 million, primarily related to the planned opening of 40 new DXL stores and information technology projects. However, we expect to receive approximately $9.3 million in tenant allowances to offset these capital expenditures for a net spend of $36.4 million. We expect to fund our store growth in fiscal 2014 primarily through cash flow from operations and borrowings from our Credit Facility as well as equipment financing loans. For fiscal 2014, while our total debt is projected to reach approximately $75.0-$80.0 million during our key seasonal buying periods, we expect that our total debt outstanding at the end of fiscal 2014 will be approximately $55.0-$60.0 million. This estimate is a slight increase from our previous guidance of $50.0-55.0 million, as a result of our decision to take early receipt of a portion of our spring inventory at year end.

We currently believe that our existing cash generated by operations together with our availability under our credit facility will be sufficient within current forecasts for us to meet our foreseeable liquidity requirements. For the first six months of fiscal 2014, free cash flow, which we define as cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures and discretionary store asset acquisitions, if any, decreased by $6.2 million to $(21.6) million from $(15.4) million for the first six months of fiscal 2013. This decrease in free cash flow was principally due to the increase in the net loss and the timing of working capital accounts, specifically inventory. Capital expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 2014 were approximately $2.2 million less than the prior year’s first six months. See “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measure” above regarding non-GAAP free cash flow.

The Credit Facility provides for a maximum committed borrowing of $100 million, which, pursuant to an accordion feature, may be increased to $150 million upon our request and the agreement of the lender(s) participating in the increase. The Credit Facility includes a sublimit of $20 million for commercial and standby letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $15 million for Swingline Loans. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 26, 2018. Our Credit Facility is described in more detail in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Borrowings made pursuant to the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate (determined as the highest of (a) Bank of America N.A.’s prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) the annual LIBOR rate for the respective interest period) plus a varying percentage, based on our borrowing base, of 0.50%-0.75% for prime-based borrowings and 1.50%-1.75% for LIBOR-based borrowings.

We had outstanding borrowings of $25.7 million under the Credit Facility at August 2, 2014. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $2.2 million and outstanding documentary letters of credit were $1.1 million. The average monthly borrowing outstanding under the Credit Facility during the first six months of fiscal 2014 was approximately $28.3 million, resulting in an average unused excess availability of approximately $65.2 million. Unused excess availability at August 2, 2014 was $71.0 million. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien on all of our assets. The facility contains no financial covenants.

Master Loan and Security Agreement

Through the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we have entered into twelve Equipment Security Notes (the “Notes”), whereby we borrowed an aggregate of $26.4 million. The Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Loan and Security Agreement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, dated July 20, 2007 and most recently amended September 30, 2013. The Notes are secured by a security interest in all of our rights, title and interest in and to certain

24

equipment. The Notes are for 48 months and accrue interest at fixed rates ranging from 3.07% to 3.50%. Principal and interest, in arrears, are payable monthly. We are subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 1% of the prepaid principal of the Notes until the first anniversary, 0.5% of the prepaid principal from the first anniversary until the second anniversary and no prepayment penalty thereafter. At August 2, 2014, the outstanding balance of Notes was $22.6 million.

The proceeds from the Notes were used to fund partially the capital expenditures associated with our DXL store rollout.

Capital Expenditures

The following table sets forth the open stores and related square footage at August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013, respectively:

Below is a summary of store openings and closings from February 1, 2014 to August 2, 2014:

Our capital expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 2014 were $18.9 million as compared to $21.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013. The $2.2 million decrease is primarily related to the timing of stores openings during the first six months of fiscal 2014. As of August 2, 2014, we have opened 14 DXL stores as compared to 17 DXL stores at August 3, 2013. In addition, the average square footage of a new DXL store is slightly less than the prior year.

For fiscal 2014, our capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $45.7 million and we expect to receive approximately $9.3 million in tenant allowances to offset these expenditures partially. The budget includes approximately $35.4 million, excluding any allowance, related to the opening of 40 Destination XL stores and approximately $8.7 million for continued information technology projects, including enhanced web in-store inventory visibility, in-store pick-up of web purchases and access to Company-wide inventory for customer fulfillment, with the remainder relating to general overhead projects. In addition, we expect to close approximately 39 existing Casual Male XL stores and 1 Rochester Clothing store, most of which are in connection with the opening of new DXL stores.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2014.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In the normal course of business, our financial position and results of operations are routinely subject to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movements on borrowings and foreign currency fluctuations. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures.

Interest Rates

We utilize cash from operations and from our Credit Facility to fund our working capital needs. Our Credit Facility is not used for trading or speculative purposes. In addition, we have available letters of credit as sources of financing for our working capital requirements. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, which expires June 26, 2018, bear interest at variable rates based on Bank of America’s prime rate or LIBOR. At August 2, 2014, the interest rate on our prime based borrowings was 3.75%. Approximately $20.0 million of our outstanding borrowings were in LIBOR contracts with an interest rate of 1.65%. Based upon a sensitivity analysis as of August 2, 2014, assuming average outstanding borrowing during the first six months of fiscal 2014 of $28.3 million, a 50 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in a potential increase in interest expense of approximately $142,000 on an annualized basis.

Foreign Currency

Our Sears Canada catalog operations conduct business in Canadian dollars and our Rochester Clothing store located in London, England conducts business in British pounds. If the value of the Canadian dollar or British pound against the U.S. dollar weakens, the revenues and earnings of these operations will be reduced when they are translated or remeasured to U.S. dollars. Also, the value of these assets to U.S. dollars may decline. As of August 2, 2014, sales from our Sears Canada operations and our London Rochester Clothing store were immaterial to consolidated sales. As such, we believe that movement in foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse affect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of August 2, 2014. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of August 2, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended August 2, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
