Our Mission and Strategies

Our mission is to provide our customers with a compelling product assortment and great shopping experience that together highlight a greatpremium mix of both branded and proprietary merchandise that speak to the action sports, fashion and music influences of the California lifestyle. PacSun’s foundation has traditionally been built upon a great collection of aspirational brands, including adidas, Been Trill, Billabong, Crooks and Castles, DC Shoes,DGK, Diamond Supply Co., Fox Racing, Hurley, L-R-G, Neff, Nike, O’Neill, Riot Society, Roxy, RVCA, Vans, Volcom, and Young and Reckless, among others. We also continue to invest in and grow our proprietary brands, which include Bullhead®, Kirra®, LA Hearts®, On the Byas®, Black Poppy® and Nollie®. In fiscal 2010, we began licensing
We also license the Modern Amusement® brand from Dirty Bird Productions, Inc., a company owned by Mossimo Giannulli, the founder of the Mossimo® brand. More recently, inIn early fiscal 2013, we launched a new, exclusive to PacSun fashion line by Kendall and Kyle Jenner. This collection features an assortment of on-trend young women’s piecesWe are also the only wholesale partner currently selling the Brandy Melville brand, which originates in Rome, but takes inspiration from the casual, California lifestyle and mixes current trends with every day essentials, creating a line that reflect the optimism, creativity and diversity of PacSun’s California heritage.resonates with our customers. Taken together, we believe that thisour mix of brands gives us the capability to offer our customers an unmatched selection of fashionable and authentic products synonymous with the creativity, optimism and diversity that is uniquely California.

During fiscal 2012, we launched our “Golden State of Mind” brand positioning which reflects the optimism, creativity and diversity of PacSun’s California heritage. The concept is being realized through print advertising, online social media, in-store elements, events, and our new website, www.GSOM.com.

www.pacsun.com. In fiscal 2013, we further defined our Golden State of Mind brand positioning by showcasing our unique brands and selective music influences at our summer pop-up store in the heart of Soho on Broadway in lower Manhattan. Along with refreshing our brand logo this year and updating some of our older generation stores to our current branding, we applied some shop-in-shop learnings from the Soho store to select top stores.

Merchandising

Our stores offer an assortment of casual apparel, footwear and related accessories for young men and women, with the goal of being viewed by our customers as the most desired retailer for their lifestyle. The following tables set forth our merchandise assortment as a percentage of net sales for the most recent three fiscal years:

Denim represents a significant percentage of our total sales, accounting for 17%13%, 19%17% and 18% of total sales in fiscal 2013, 2012 2011 and 2010,2011, respectively. During fiscal 2010, denim became a very price-competitive business with very little newness or uniqueness in the marketplace in terms of fit or trend, and sales of denim were adversely affected as a result. In fiscal 2011, denim and casual pants had positive comparable sales. Men’s denimbottoms capitalized on a new trend in “twill and chino” pants while Women’s denimbottoms invested heavily in leggings and continued to perform well in our foundational “skinny” fit line. In fiscal 2012, denim sales decreased slightly, however, our penetration of casual pants grew. Sales from combined Men’s and Women’s casual pants almost doubled in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011.

In fiscal 2013, denim sales continued to decrease for both Men's and Women's, but was partially offset by sales in casual pants and other bottoms categories.

Another significant trend in our business over the past several years was the decline and now steady rise in sales of footwear and accessories (“non-apparel”). Prior to fiscal 2007, non-apparel accounted for more than 30% of net sales versus only 12% in fiscal 2009, resulting from a de-emphasis on non-apparel categories. Starting in fiscal 2010 and continuing through fiscal 2012,2013, we have been focused on reclaiming non-apparel salesmarket share by reintroducing footwear to approximately 420440 stores as of February 2, 2013.1, 2014. While non-apparel still only representednow represents 15% of net sales for the 2012 fiscal year,2013, footwear sales, forparticularly in men’s, increased 33% andcontinued to expand, increasing 18%, while women’s increased 4%decreased 14%, as compared to fiscal 2011.

2012. Our Men's footwear is predominately branded, while our Women's footwear is primarily proprietary.

Branded Merchandise

Our heritage has been built upon offering a wide selection of premium brands that speak to the ever-changing styles of our customers, including adidas, Been Trill, Billabong, Brandy Melville, Crooks and Castles, DC Shoes,DGK, Diamond Supply Co., Fox Racing, Hurley, L-R-G, Neff, Nike, O’Neill, Riot Society, Roxy, RVCA, Vans, Volcom, and Young and Reckless, among others. We also license the Modern Amusement® brand from Dirty Bird Productions, Inc., a company owned by Mossimo Giannulli, the founder of the Mossimo® brand. In fiscal 2013, Nike, Inc. (which includes the Hurley brand) accounted for 10% of net sales. During fiscal 2012 and 2011, no vendor accounted for more than 10% of net sales. In fiscal 2010, Fox Racing accounted for 10% of our net sales.

Branded merchandise accounted for approximately 52%51% of total net sales in fiscal 2013, 53% of total net sales in fiscal 2012 and 2011 and 55%51% of total net sales in fiscal 2010.2011. Excluding Men’s denim and knit sales, branded merchandise accounted for approximately 91%86%, 88%91% and 86%88% of Men’s sales in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Proprietary Brand Merchandise

We complement our name-brand offerings with our proprietary brands, including Bullhead®, Kirra®, LA Hearts®, On the Byas®, Black Poppy® and Nollie®. Proprietary brands provide us with an opportunity to broaden our customer base by offering merchandise of comparable quality to brand name merchandise, capitalize on emerging fashion trends when branded merchandise is not available in sufficient quantities, and exercise a greater degree of control over the flow of our merchandise. Our own product design group, in collaboration with our buyers, designs our proprietary brand merchandise. Our sourcing organization oversees the manufacture and delivery of our proprietary brand merchandise, with manufacturing sourced both domestically and internationally. Our proprietary brand merchandise accounted for approximately 48%49% of total net sales in fiscal 2013, 47% of total net sales in fiscal 2012, and 2011 and 45%49% of total net sales in fiscal 2010.2011. Proprietary brand merchandise accounted for approximately 70%, 68%70% and 60%69% of Women’s sales in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Vendor and Contract Manufacturer Relationships

We generally purchase merchandise from vendors that target distribution through specialty retailers, small boutiques and, in some cases, particular department stores, rather than distribution through mass-market channels. To encourage the design and

3


development of new merchandise, we frequently share ideas regarding fashion trends and merchandise sell-through information with our vendors. We also suggest merchandise design and fabrication to certain vendors.

We have cultivated our proprietary brand sources with a view toward high-quality merchandise, production reliability and consistency of fit. We source our proprietary brand merchandise both domestically and internationally in order to benefit from the shorter lead times associated with domestic manufacturing and the lower costs associated with international manufacturing.

Merchandising, Planning, Allocation and Distribution

Our merchants are responsible for reviewing branded merchandise lines from new and existing vendors, identifying emerging fashion trends, and selecting branded and proprietary brand merchandise styles in quantities, colors and sizes to meet inventory levels established by Company management. Our planning and allocation team is responsible for management of inventory levels

by store and by class, allocation of merchandise to stores and inventory replenishment based upon information generated by our merchandise management information systems. These systems provide the planning department with current inventory levels at each store and for the Company as a whole, as well as current selling history within each store by merchandise classification and by style. See “Information Technology.”

All

Generally, our merchandise is delivered to our distribution facility in Olathe, Kansas where it is inspected, received, allocated to stores, ticketed when necessary and boxed for distribution to our stores or packaged for delivery to our e-commerce customers. Each store is typically shipped merchandise twice a week, providing it with a steady flow of new merchandise. We use both national and regional carriers to ship merchandise to our stores and e-commerce customers. We may occasionally use air freight to ship merchandise to stores when necessary.

E-commerce

During fiscal 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010,2011, our Internet sales represented approximately 7%, 6%7% and 5%6%, respectively, of our total sales. We sell a combination of the same selection of merchandise carried in our stores along with online exclusives atwww.pacsun.com.We also advertise our website as a shopping destination on certain Internet portals and search engines and market our website in our stores. During fiscal 2012, we launched our new Demandware platform which includes several improved features, such as customer product reviews and ratings, side by side product comparisons, improved site navigation and product pages, and a more streamlined check-out process. Also in fiscal 2012, we launched two new websites;www.GSOM.com which allows our users to experience all things California in six key categories including: fashion, music, art, entertainment, action sports and brands; andwww.bullhead.com, which allows our customers to navigate and explore the depth of our Bullhead® denim offering. Our Internet strategy benefits from the nationwide retail presence of our stores, brand recognition of PacSun, a tech-savvy customer base, and the availability of our key brands. We currently accept orders that ship to 44 countries outside of the United States through our e-commerce site.

Stores

Locations

We operate stores in each of the 50 states and Puerto Rico. For a geographical breakdown of stores by state, see Item 2, “Properties.”

Real Estate Strategy

Prior to fiscal 2008, we grew rapidly, with approximately 50 to 100 new store openings per year, leading to a peak of approximately 950 PacSun stores. Given the recent economic environment and our sales performance over the past few years, our focus shifted from continuing to open new stores to optimizing our existing fleet of stores. In order to improve the overall productivity of our store fleet, beginning in fiscal 2008 we began to close a significant numberaccelerate the closure of PacSun stores each fiscal year. We closed 38 stores in fiscal 2008, 40 in fiscal 2009 and 44 in fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2011, we acceleratedsignificantly increased the pace of store closures, resulting in the closing of 119 stores that year, and an additional 92 stores in fiscal 2012. A large majority of those closures occurred in the fourth quarter.quarter of each respective fiscal year. During fiscal 2013, we anticipate closing approximately 20 toclosed 30 additional underperforming stores primarily by way of kick-out rights and natural lease expirations. A kick-out clause relieves us of any future obligation under a lease if specified sales levels for our stores (typically $1 million) or certain mall occupancy targets are not achieved by a specified date. Long-lived assets associated with projected store closures were subject to our fiscal 20122013 impairment testing and resulting impairment charges are included in our loss from continuing operations as appropriate.

We anticipate closing an additional 10-20 underperforming stores in fiscal 2014 by way of kick-out rights and natural lease expirations.

Store Operations

Our stores are open for business during mall shopping hours. Each store has a manager, one or more assistant managers and approximately six to twelve part-time sales associates. District managers supervise approximately a dozen stores and approximately a dozen district managers report to a regional director. District and store managers participate in a bonus program based on achieving predetermined metrics. We have store operating policies and procedures and in-store training for new managers. We place an emphasis on loss prevention programs in order to control inventory shrinkage. These programs include the installation of electronic article surveillance systems in all stores, education of store personnel on loss prevention and monitoring of returns, voids and employee sales.sales. As a result of these programs, our historical inventory shrinkage rates have been at or below 2% of net sales at retail (1% at cost).

Competition

The retail apparel, footwear and accessory business is highly competitive. Our business competes on a national level with leading specialty retail chains, department stores, as well as online retailers that offer the same or similar brands and styles of merchandise including: Abercrombie & Fitch, Aéropostale, Amazon, American Eagle Outfitters, The Buckle, Forever 21, H&M, Hollister, J.C. Penney, Karma Loop, Killerdana, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Nastygal, Nordstrom, Old Navy, Swell, Target, Tilly’s, Top Shop, Urban Outfitters, The Wet Seal, Zappos, Zara and Zumiez, as well as a wide variety of regional and local specialty stores. Many of our competitors are larger than we are and have significantly greater resources available to them than we do. We believe the principal

4

Table of Contents

competitive factors in our industry are fashion, merchandise assortment, quality, price, store location, environment and customer service.

Trademarks and Service Marks

We are the owner in the United States of the marks “Pacific Sunwear of California,” “PacSun,” and “Pacific Sunwear.” We also use and have registered, a number of other marks, including those attributable to our proprietary brands such as Bullhead, Bullhead Black, On the Byas, Kirra, Nollie, Black Poppy, LA Hearts and LA Hearts.With Love From California. We have registered many of our marks outside of the United States. We believe our rights in our marks are important to our business and intend to maintain our marks and the related registrations.

Information Technology

Our information systems provide our management, our merchandising group and our planners with data that helps us identify emerging trends and manage inventories. These systems include purchase order management, open order reporting, open-to-buy, receiving, distribution, merchandise allocation, basic stock replenishment, inter-store transfers and inventory and price management. We use daily and weekly item sales reports to make purchasing and markdown decisions. Merchandise purchases are generally based on planned sales and inventory levels. All of our stores have a point-of-sale system featuring bar-coded ticket scanning, price look-up capability, electronic check and credit/debit authorization and automated nightly transmittal of data between each store and our corporate office.

Seasonality

For details concerning the seasonality of our business, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Seasonality and Quarterly Results.”

Working Capital Concentration

A significant portion of our working capital is related to merchandise inventories available for sale to customers as well as in our distribution center. For details concerning working capital and the merchandising risk associated with our inventories, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and “Working Capital” within Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Employees

At the end of fiscal 2012,2013, we had approximately 8,20010,300 employees, of whom approximately 6,1008,250 were part-time. Of the total number of employees, approximately 520540 were employed at our corporate headquarters and distribution center. A significant number of seasonal employees are hired during peak selling periods. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we believe that our relationships with our employees are good.

Our failure to improve our comparable store net sales and gross margins could have a material adverse impact on our business, profitability and liquidity.
Although we made progress with respect to our comparable store net sales and gross margins in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, if we are unable to continue to grow same-store sales and improve our gross margins in the future, we may be required to access most, if not all, of our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Wells Credit Facility”) and would potentially require other sources of financing to fund our operations, which sources might not be available. Based on current forecasts, we believe that cash flows from operations and working capital will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months.
We face significant competition from vertically-integrated, brand-based, and online retailers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The retail apparel business is highly competitive. We compete on a national level with a diverse group of retailers, including vertically-integrated and brand-based national, regional and local specialty retail stores, online retailers, and certain leading department stores and off-price retailers that offer the same or similar brands and styles of merchandise as we do. Many of our competitors are larger and have significantly greater resources than we do. We believe the principal competitive factors in our industry are fashion, merchandise assortment, quality, price, store location, environment and customer service. Current and increased competition could have a material adverse effect on our business.

7


Our failure to identify and respond appropriately to changing consumer preferences and fashion trends in a timely manner could have a material adverse impact on our business and profitability.

Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to gauge the fashion tastes of our customers and to provide merchandise at competitive prices and in adequate quantities that satisfies customer demand in a timely manner. Our failure to anticipate, identify or react appropriately in a timely manner to changes in fashion trends could have a material adverse effect on our same store sales results, gross margins, operating margins, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, misjudgments or unanticipated fashion changes may result in excess or slow-moving inventory, which may need to be heavily discounted to be disposed of. Such discounts and increased inventory costs could have a material adverse effect on our business. Misjudgments or unanticipated fashion changes could also have a material adverse effect on our image with our customers. Some of our vendors have limited resources, production capacities and operating histories and some have intentionally limited the distribution of their merchandise. The inability or unwillingness on the part of key vendors to expand their operations to accommodate our merchandising requirements, or the loss of one or more key vendors or proprietary brand sources for any reason, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our failure to improve our comparable store net sales and gross margins could have a material adverse impact on our business, profitability and liquidity.

Although we made progress with respect to our comparable store net sales and gross margins in fiscal 2012, if we were to experience a decline in same-store sales and gross margins in the future, we may be required to access most, if not all, of our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Wells Credit Facility”) and would potentially require other sources of financing to fund our operations, which sources might not be available. Based on current forecasts, we believe that cash flows from operations and working capital will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months.

Our net sales, operating income and inventory levels fluctuate on a seasonal basis.

We experience major seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating income, with a significant portion of our operating income typically realized during the six to seven week selling periods for each of the back-to-school and holiday seasons. Any decrease in sales or margins during these periods could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, in recent years we have experienced higher peaks and extended lulls during the year as customer shopping patterns have changed. The occurrence of unusual or extraordinary events, such as natural disasters, around the peak days of such key holidays and selling periods (e.g.(e.g, Black Friday), could adversely affect our financial results. Additionally, extended periods of unseasonably warm temperatures during the fall/winter season or cold weather during the spring/summer season could render a portion of our inventory incompatible with those unseasonable conditions. Seasonal fluctuations also affect our inventory levels, since we usually order merchandise in advance of peak selling periods and sometimes before new fashion trends are confirmed by customer purchases. We generally carry a significant amount of inventory, especially before the six to seven week back-to-school and holiday season selling periods.periods (the "Peak Selling Seasons"). If we are not successful in selling inventory during these periods, we may have to sell the inventory at significantly reduced prices, which would adversely affect our profitability.

Additionally, in recent years, the Peak Selling Seasons have become more concentrated, with incidents such as inclement weather adversely impacting mall traffic and consumer buying patterns.

Our comparable store net sales results fluctuate significantly, which can cause volatility in our operating performance and stock price.

Our comparable store net sales results have fluctuated significantly over time, and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. For example, over the past five years, annual comparable store net sales results for our stores and online sales have varied from a low of minus 19%17% to a high of plus 2%, and on a quarterly basis can also vary significantly. A variety of factors affect our comparable store net sales results, including unfavorable economic conditions and decreases in consumer spending, changes in

7

Table of Contents

fashion trends and customer preferences, changes in our merchandise mix, calendar shifts of holiday periods, actions by competitors, and weather conditions. Our comparable store net sales results for any fiscal period may decrease. As a result of these or other factors, our comparable store net sales results, both past and future, are likely to have a significant effect on the market price of our common stock and our operating performance, including our use of markdowns and our ability to leverage operating and other expenses that are somewhat fixed.

Our customers may not prefer our proprietary merchandise, which may negatively impact our profitability.

Sales from proprietary merchandise accounted for approximately 48%49% of total net sales in fiscal 2013, 47% of total net sales in fiscal 2012, and 2011, and 45%49% of total net sales in fiscal 2010.2011. There can be no assurance that any change in the sales penetration of proprietary merchandise

8


will improve our operating results. Additionally, there can be no assurance that attempts to balance our proprietary merchandise and other merchandise will improve our operating results. Because our proprietary merchandise generally carries higher merchandise margins than our other merchandise, our failure to anticipate, identify and react in a timely manner to fashion trends with our proprietary merchandise could have a material adverse effect on our same store sales results, operating margins, results of operations and financial condition.

Customer preference for our branded merchandise could change, which may negatively impact our profitability.

Sales from branded merchandise account for more than half of our total sales and is a critical differentiating factor for our Men’s business. Excluding Men’s denim and knit sales, branded merchandise accounted for approximately 91%86%, 88%91% and 86%88% of Men’s sales in fiscal 2013, 2012 2011 and 2010,2011, respectively. As customer tastes change, our failure to anticipate, identify and react in a timely manner to emerging fashion trends and appropriately supplying our stores with key selling brands could have a material adverse effect on our same store sales results, operating margins, results of operations and financial condition.

The loss, theft or misuse of sensitive customer, employee or company information, or the failure or interruption of key information technology and resource planning systems, could materially adversely affect our business.
Our business involves the storage and transmission of sensitive information including the personal information of our customers, credit card information, employee information, data relating to consumer preferences, and proprietary company financial and strategic data. The protection of our customer, employee and company data is vitally important to us as the loss, theft or misuse of such information could lead to significant reputational, brand or competitive harm, regulatory action, litigation and potential liability. As a result, we believe that our future success and growth depends, in part, on the ability of our key business processes, including our information and communication systems, to prevent the theft, loss or misuse of this sensitive information. However, as with many businesses, we are subject to numerous security and cybersecurity risks which may prevent us from maintaining the privacy of sensitive information and require us to expend significant resources attempting to secure such information.
While we have installed privacy protection systems, devices and activity monitoring on our network, if unauthorized parties gain access to our networks, data storage or databases, they may be able to steal, publish, delete or modify our private and sensitive third-party information. In such circumstances, we could be held liable to our customers or other parties or be subject to regulatory or other actions for breaching privacy rules. This could result in costly investigations, regulatory action, and litigation, civil or criminal penalties and publicity that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and reputation. Further, if we are unable to comply with security standards established by banks and the credit card industry, we may be subject to fines, restrictions and expulsion from card acceptance programs, which could adversely affect us. While we maintain insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms and conditions including significant self-insured deductibles cover certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses.
In addition, we rely on certain information technology management and enterprise resource planning systems to prepare sales forecasts, track our financial and operating results, and otherwise operate our business. While we regularly evaluate our information systems capabilities and requirements, there can be no assurance that our existing information systems will be adequate to support the existing or future needs of our business. We may have to undertake significant information system implementations, modifications and/or upgrades in the future at significant cost to us. Such projects involve inherent risks associated with replacing and/or changing existing systems, such as system disruptions and the failure to accurately capture and protect data, among others. Information system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we fail to maintain good relationships with vendors or if a vendor is otherwise unable or unwilling to supply us with adequate quantities of their products at acceptable prices, our business and financial performance could suffer.

Our business is dependent on continued good relations with our vendors. In particular, we believe that we generally are able to obtain attractive pricing and other terms from vendors because we are perceived as a desirable customer, and deterioration in our relationship with our vendors could have a material adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance that our vendors will provide us with an adequate supply or quality of products or acceptable pricing. Our vendors could discontinue selling to us, raise the prices they charge at any time or allow their merchandise to be discounted by other retailers. There can be no assurance that we

8

Table of Contents

will be able to acquire desired merchandise in sufficient quantities on terms acceptable to us in the future. In addition, certain of our vendors sell their products directly to the retail market and therefore compete with us directly and other vendors may decide to do so in the future. There can be no assurance that such vendors will not decide to discontinue supplying their products to us, supply us only less popular or lower quality items, raise the prices they charge us or focus on selling their products directly. Any inability to acquire suitable merchandise at acceptable prices, or the loss of one or more key vendors, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to successfully develop and maintain a relevant and reliable multichannel experience for our customers, our reputation and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our business has evolved from primarily an in-store experience to interaction with customers across multiple channels (in-store, online, mobile and social media, among others). Our customers are using computers, tablets, mobile phones and other devices to shop in our stores and online and provide feedback and public commentary about all aspects of our business. We currently provide full and mobile versions of our website (Pacsun.com), applications for mobile phones and tablets and interact with our customers through social media. Multichannel retailing is rapidly evolving, however, and we are challenged with keeping pace with changing customer expectations and technology investments by our competitors. If we are unable to attract and retain employees or contract with third parties having the specialized skills needed, or be able to afford the significant investment required to support our multichannel efforts, implement improvements to our customer-facing technology in a timely manner, or provide a convenient and consistent experience for our customers regardless of the ultimate sales channel, our ability to compete and our results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, if Pacsun.com and our other customer-facing technology systems do not reliably function as designed, we may experience a loss of customer confidence, data security breaches, lost sales or be exposed to fraudulent purchases, which, if significant, could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
Product costs from our manufacturing partners may increase, which could result in significant margin erosion.

Commodity prices, including fuel costs, have fluctuated in recent years, affecting the costs of many of our vendors. If these product costs increase, this could result in margin erosion for us. Additionally, a significant percentage of our private label apparel products, and the products sold to us by our branded partners, are manufactured in China. Manufacturers in that country have experienced increased costs in recent years due to shortages of labor and the fluctuation of the Chinese Yuan in relation to the U.S. dollar. If we were unable to successfully mitigate a significant portion of such product costs, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Additionally, an increasingly important part of our Women’s business is speed-to-market initiatives which enable us to timely react to the latest fashion trends and styles. This could translate into higher product costs as we source fashion trend product with shorter lead times. If we are unable to mitigate such costs, it could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our foreign sources of production may not always be reliable, which may result in a disruption in the flow of new merchandise to our stores.

We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities and therefore depend upon independent third-party vendors for the manufacture of our merchandise. We purchase merchandise directly in foreign markets for our proprietary brands. In addition, we purchase merchandise from domestic vendors, some of which is manufactured overseas. We do not have any long-term merchandise supply contracts and our imports are subject to existing or potential duties, tariffs and quotas. Additionally, some of our vendors are relatively unsophisticated or underdeveloped and may have difficulty providing adequate quantities of quality merchandise to us in a timely manner. We face competition from other companies for production facilities and capacity. We also face a variety of other risks generally associated with doing business in foreign markets and importing merchandise from abroad, such as: (i) political instability; (ii) enhanced security measures at United States ports, which could delay delivery of imports; (iii) imposition of new legislation relating to import quotas that may limit the quantity of goods which may be imported into the United States from countries in a region within which our vendors do business, and competition with other companies for import quota capacities; (iv) imposition of duties, taxes, and other charges on imports; (v) delayed receipt or non-delivery of goods due to the failure of foreign-source suppliers to comply with applicable import regulations; (vi) delayed receipt or non-delivery of goods due to organized labor strikes or unexpected or significant port

9


congestion at United States ports; (vii) local business practice and political issues; and (viii) acts of terrorism. New initiatives may be proposed that may have an impact on the trading status of certain countries and may include retaliatory duties or other trade sanctions that, if enacted, would increase the cost of products purchased from suppliers in countries that we do business with. Any inability on our part to rely on our foreign sources of production due to any of the factors listed above could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

A significant decrease in mall traffic would negatively impact our business and operating results.

We are primarily a mall-based retailer and are dependent upon the continued popularity of malls as a shopping destination and the ability of shopping mall anchor tenants and other attractions within the vicinity of our stores to generate customer traffic. Increased online shopping and unfavorable economic conditions, particularly in certain regions, have adversely affected mall traffic and resulted in the closing of certain anchor tenants. Growing technology has improved the experience of online shopping and, in some cases, has resulted in a shift of consumer spending from brick-and-mortar to online where competition is even greater since “pure

Table of Contents

play” internet retailers don’t face significant occupancy costs, store payroll, etc., like we do. In addition, volatility in the U.S. economy or an uncertain economic outlook could continue to lower consumer spending levels and cause a decrease in shopping mall traffic, each of which would adversely affect our sales and financial performance.

If we are unable to successfully develop and maintain a relevant and reliable multichannel experience for our customers, our reputation and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our business has evolved from primarily an in-store experience to interaction with customers across multiple channels (in-store, online, mobile and social media, among others). Our customers are using computers, tablets, mobile phones and other devices to shop in our stores and online and provide feedback and public commentary about all aspects of our business. We currently provide full and mobile versions of our website (Pacsun.com), applications for mobile phones and tablets and interact with our customers through social media. Multichannel retailing is rapidly evolving, however, and we are challenged with keeping pace with changing customer expectations and technology investments by our competitors. If we are unable to attract and retain employees or contract with third parties having the specialized skills needed, or be able to afford the significant investment required to support our multichannel efforts, implement improvements to our customer-facing technology in a timely manner, or provide a convenient and consistent experience for our customers regardless of the ultimate sales channel, our ability to compete and our results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, if Pacsun.com and our other customer-facing technology systems do not reliably function as designed, we may experience a loss of customer confidence, data security breaches, lost sales or be exposed to fraudulent purchases, which, if significant, could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.

Our inability to reduce occupancy costs in the future may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Occupancy costs represent a significant percentage of the total cost of operating our stores. Occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales were 19%17% in each of fiscal 2013, 2012, and 20% in fiscal 2011 and 2010.2011. If we are unsuccessful in further decreasing our occupancy costs as a percent of sales in the future it would be difficult to operate our stores profitably, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our results could be adversely affected by natural disasters, public health crises, or other catastrophic events.

Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and other adverse weather and climate conditions; unforeseen public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics; or other catastrophic events, whether occurring in the United States or internationally, could disrupt our operations and/or the operations of one or more of our vendors. In particular, these types of events could impact our product supply chain from or to the impacted region and could impact our ability to operate our stores or website. In addition, these types of events could negatively impact consumer spending in the impacted regions or depending upon the severity, nationally. To the extent any of these events occur, they could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business could suffer if a manufacturer fails to conform to applicable domestic or international labor standards.

We do not control our vendors or their labor practices. The violation of labor or other laws by any of our vendors, or the divergence of the labor practices followed by any of our vendors from those generally accepted as ethical in the United States, could interrupt, or otherwise disrupt the shipment of finished products to us or damage our reputation. Any of these, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

10


The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business at any time.

Our future success is dependent to a significant degree upon the services of our key personnel, particularly our executive officers. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In this regard, we have historically used equity awards as a component of our executive compensation program in order to align management’s interests with the interests of our shareholders, encourage retention and provide competitive compensation and benefit packages. As a result of the decline in our stock price in recent years, the ability to retain present, or attract prospective executives through equity awards has been adversely affected.

Our success also depends in part upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees, including, merchants, designers, buyers, regional directors, district managers, store managers and store associates, who understand and appreciate our corporate culture and product and are able to adequately represent the California lifestyle to our customers. Qualified individuals of the requisite caliber and skills needed to fill these positions may be in short supply in some areas, and the employee turnover rate in the retail industry is high. Competition for qualified employees could require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of suitable employees. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any reinvestment in our existing store base may not result in improved operating performance.

Many of our leases require that we invest capital to remodel or refresh our stores. Historically, such investments generally have not been proven to increase store operating performance. If our leases continue to require us to make capital investments in our stores and those investments generally do not increase store operating performance, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We operate our business from one corporate headquarters facility and one distribution facility which exposes us to significant operational risks.

All of our corporate headquarters functions reside within a single facility in Anaheim, California. Our distribution function resides within a single facility in Olathe, Kansas. Any significant interruption in the availability or operation of our corporate headquarters or distribution facility due to natural disasters, accidents, system failures or other unforeseen causes would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any material failure, interruption or security breach of our computer systems or information technology may adversely affect the operation of our business and our financial results.

We are dependent on our computer systems and information technology to properly conduct business. A failure or interruption of our computer systems or information technology could result in the loss of data, business interruptions or delays in our operations. Also, despite our considerable efforts and technological resources to secure our computer systems and information technology, security breaches, such as an intentional cyber-attack, unauthorized access, computer viruses and similar disruptions may occur resulting in system disruptions, shutdowns, lost data or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Any security breach of our computer systems or information technology may result in adverse publicity, litigation, loss of sales and profits, damages, fines or other loss resulting from misappropriation of information.

In addition, while we regularly evaluate our information systems capabilities and requirements, there can be no assurance that our existing information systems will be adequate to support the existing or future needs of our business. We may have to undertake significant information system implementations, modifications and/or upgrades in the future at significant cost to us. Such projects involve inherent risks associated with replacing and/or changing existing systems, such as system disruptions and the failure to accurately capture data, among others. Information system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The continued volatility in the U.S. economy and potential inflationary economic conditions may adversely affect consumer spending in the future, which could negatively impact our business, operating results and stock price.

Our business operations and financial performance depend significantly on general economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending. Consumer spending is impacted by a number of factors, including consumer confidence in the strength of the

10

Table of Contents

general economy, fears of economic recession or depression, the availability and cost of consumer credit, the

11


cost of basic necessities such as food, fuel and housing, inflation, salary and wage levels, levels of taxation and unemployment levels. Additionally, inflationary economic conditions would likely increase the costs of manufacturing the goods we sell in our stores which could increase the prices charged by us for our products or reduce gross margins. Inflationary pressure could also have a negative impact on the ability of our customer to buy our products in previous volumes. Any increase in product cost or decrease in customer purchasing power due to inflationary economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The effects of terrorism or war could significantly impact consumer spending and our operational performance.

The majority of our stores are located in regional shopping malls. Any threat or actual act of terrorism, particularly in public areas, could lead to lower customer traffic in regional shopping malls. In addition, local authorities or mall management could close regional shopping malls in response to any immediate security concern. Mall closures, as well as lower customer traffic due to security concerns, could result in decreased sales. Additionally, war or the threat of war could significantly diminish consumer spending, resulting in decreased sales. Decreased sales would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As we source our product globally, any threat or actual act of terrorism or war could cause a disruption to our inventory supply which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Adverse outcomes of litigation matters or failure to comply with federal or state regulations could adversely affect us.

We are involved from time to time in litigation incidental to our business, including two lawsuits involving allegations that we have violated provisions of California wage and hour laws that are described in Item 3. “Legal Proceedings.”Proceedings” (the "Wage and Hour Lawsuits"). We currently cannot assess the likely outcome of those lawsuits,the Wage and Hour Lawsuits, but if the outcome were negative in either lawsuit,Lawsuit, it could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations or financial condition.
Additionally, we are subject to SEC rules and regulations, state laws, Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, new rules and regulations issued pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, other U.S. public company regulations, and various other requirements mandated for the textiles and apparel industries such as the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, California’s Proposition 65 and similar state laws. Failure to comply with these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price. Also, changes in such laws could make operating our business more expensive or require us to change the way we do business. For example, changes in laws related to employee healthcare (including particularly the Affordable Care Act), hours, wages, job classification and benefits could significantly increase our operating costs. In addition, changes in product safety or other consumer protection laws could lead to increased costs for certain merchandise, or additional labor costs associated with readying merchandise for sale. It may be difficult for us to oversee regulatory changes impacting our business and our responses to changes in the law could be costly and may negatively impact our operations.

We also are subject to recently adopted SEC disclosure obligations relating to its use of so-called "conflict minerals" - columbite-tantalite, cassiterite (tin), wolframite (tungsten) and gold. These minerals are present in a significant number of our products. The disclosure obligations are complex, and there is little formal guidance with respect to their application. The first reports under the disclosure obligations are due to be filed with the SEC not later than May 31, 2014, and cover our activities during 2013.
Although we expect to be able to file the required report on time, in preparing to do so we are dependent upon the implementation of new processes and information supplied by over 200 suppliers of products that contain, or potentially contain, conflict minerals. To the extent that the information we receive from our suppliers is inaccurate or inadequate or our processes in obtaining that information do not fulfill the SEC's requirements, we could face both reputational and SEC enforcement risks.
Our inability or failure to protect our intellectual property or our infringement of other’s intellectual property could adversely affect us.

We believe that our trademarks and domain names are valuable assets that are critical to our success. The unauthorized use or other misappropriation of our trademarks or domain names could diminish the value of our brands and cause a decline in our net sales. Although we have secured or are in the process of securing protection for our trademarks and domain names in the United States and a number of other countries, there are certain countries where we do not currently have or where we do not currently intend to apply for protection for certain trademarks or at all. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our trademarks may not be sufficient or effective. Therefore, we may not be able to prevent other persons from using our trademarks or domain names, which also could adversely affect our business. We are also subject to the risk that we or the third-party brands we carry may infringe on the intellectual property rights of other parties. Any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us or the third-party brands we carry, whether or not it has merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product delays or require us to pay additional royalties or license fees. As a result, any such claim could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

Selling merchandise over the Internet carries particular risks that can have a negative impact on our business.

Table of Contents

Our Internet operations are subject to numerous risks that could have a material adverse effect on our operational results, including unanticipated operating problems, reliance on third party computer hardware and software providers, system failures and the need to invest in additional computer systems. Specific risks include but are not limited to: (i) diversion of traffic and sales from our stores; (ii) liability for online content; and (iii) risks related to the failure of the computer systems

12


that operate our website and its related support systems, including computer viruses, credit card fraud, telecommunication failures and electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. While we have installed privacy protection systems, devices and activity monitoring on our network, if unauthorized parties gain access to our networks or databases, they may be able to steal, publish, delete or modify our private and sensitive third-party information. In such circumstances, we could be held liable to our customers or other parties or be subject to regulatory or other actions for breaching privacy rules. This could result in costly investigations and litigation, civil or criminal penalties and adverse publicity that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and reputation. Further, if we are unable to comply with security standards established by banks and the credit card industry, we may be subject to fines, restrictions and expulsion from card acceptance programs, which could adversely affect us.

We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs.

Currently, none of our employees are represented by a union. However, our employees have the right under the National Labor Relations Act to form or affiliate with a union. If some or all of our workforce were to become unionized and the terms of the collective bargaining agreement were significantly different from our current compensation agreements, it could increase our costs and adversely impact our profitability. Moreover, participation is labor unions could put us at increased risk of labor strikes and disruption of our service.

Our stock price can fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, which can negatively impact our total market value.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially and there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will not continue to fluctuate significantly. Future announcements or management discussions concerning us or our competitors, net sales and profitability results, quarterly variations in operating results or comparable store net sales, changes in earnings estimates made by management or analysts, our failure to meet analysts’ estimates, changes in accounting policies, or unfavorable economic conditions, among other factors, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Changes in the market price of our stock could considerably affect the valuation of our derivative instrument and could cause significant non-cash fluctuations in earnings.

Failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting and could harm our ability to manage our expenses.

We are required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal controls and our independent registered public accounting firm can render an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis. This process requires us to document our internal controls over financial reporting and to potentially make significant changes thereto, if applicable. As a result, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur substantial expenses to test our financial controls and systems, and we have been and in the future may be required to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, to incur substantial expenses to make such improvements and to hire additional personnel. If our management is ever unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot render an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or if material weaknesses in our internal controls are ever identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our stock price. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our stock price and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.

Changes to accounting rules or regulations could significantly affect our financial results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). New accounting rules or regulations and changes to existing accounting rules or regulations have occurred and may occur in the future. Future changes to accounting rules or regulations, such as changes to lease accounting guidance or a requirement to convert to international financial reporting standards, could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition through increased cost of compliance.

Common Stock Repurchase and Retirement

The Company did not repurchase shares of common stock in fiscal 2013, 2012 2011 or 2010.2011. Our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan in July 2008 as a means to reduce our overall number of shares outstanding, thereby providing greater value to our shareholders through increased earnings per share. The Company ended fiscal 20122013 with approximately $48 million available under the stock repurchase plan. The repurchase authorization does not expire until all authorized funds have been expended. The Company does not currently plan to repurchase any shares pursuant to the plan during fiscal 20132014 and would be restricted from doing so in any event under theits credit agreements with Golden Gate Capital and Wells Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of the Company included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The MD&A excludes the financial statement impact of discontinued operations, as described in Note 1415 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” within Item 1A.

2012.

Executive Overview

We consider the following items to be key performance indicators in evaluating Company performance:

Comparable (or “same store”) sales

Stores are deemed comparable stores on the first day of the fiscal month following the one-year anniversary of their opening or expansion/relocation. We consider same store sales to be an important indicator of current Company performance. Same store sales results are important in achieving operating leverage of certain expenses such as store payroll, store occupancy, depreciation, general and administrative expenses and other costs that are somewhat fixed. Positive same store sales results usually generate greater operating leverage of expenses while negative same store sales results generally have a negative impact on operating leverage. Same store sales results also have a direct impact on our net sales, cash and working capital.

We include sales from our e-commerce business in same store sales.

Net merchandise margins

We analyze the components of net merchandise margins, specifically initial markups, discounts and markdowns as a percentage of net sales. Any inability to obtain acceptable levels of initial markups or any significant increase in our use of discounts or markdowns could have an adverse impact on our gross margin results and results of operations.

Operating margin

We view operating margin as a key indicator of our success. The key drivers of operating margins are comparable store net sales, net merchandise margins, and our ability to control operating expenses. For a discussion of the changes in the components comprising operating margins, see “Results of Operations” in this section.

Store sales trends

We evaluate store sales trends in assessing the operational performance of our stores. Important store sales trends include average net sales per store and average net sales per square foot. Average net sales per store were $1.2 million, for fiscal 2012,$1.2 million, and $1.1 million during fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, and 2010.respectively. Average net sales per square foot were $292 for$302, $298, and $289 during fiscal 2013, 2012, and $284 during fiscal 2011, and 2010.

respectively.

Cash flow and liquidity (working capital)

We evaluate cash flow from operations, liquidity and working capital to determine our short-term operational financing needs. Although we made progress with respect to our comparable store net sales and gross margins in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, if we wereare unable to experience a substantial decline incontinue to grow same-store sales and improve our gross margins in the future, we may be required to access most, if not all, of the Wells Credit Facility and would potentially require other sources of financing to fund our operations, which sources might not be available. Based on current forecasts, we believe that cash flows from operations and working capital will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America necessarily requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies

17

Table of Contents

that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating reported financial results, and the most significant estimates and assumptions used by us in applying such accounting policies, are described below:

Recognition of Revenue

Sales are recognized upon purchase by customers at our retail store locations or upon delivery to and acceptance by the customer for orders placed through our website. We accrue for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. Actual return rates have historically been within our expectations and the reserves established. However, in the event that the actual rate of sales returns by customers increased significantly, our operational results could be adversely affected. We record the sale of gift cards as a current liability and recognize a sale when a customer redeems a gift card. The amount of the gift card liability is determined taking into account our estimate of the portion of gift cards that will not be redeemed or recovered (“gift card breakage”). Gift card breakage is recognized as revenue after 24 months, at which time the likelihood of redemption is considered remote based on our historical redemption data.

Valuation of Inventories

Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market utilizing the retail method. At any given time, inventories include items that have been marked down to management’s best estimate of their fair market value. These estimates are based on a combination of factors, including current selling prices, current and projected inventory levels, current and projected rates of sell-through, known markdown and/or promotional events expected to create a permanent decrease in inventory value, estimated inventory shrink and aging of specific items. Reserves established for such items have historically been adequate. While we do not expect actual results to differ materially from our estimates, to the extent they do differ for any of these factors, we may have to record additional reserves in subsequent periods, which could reduce our gross margins and operating results.

Store Operating Lease Accounting

Rent expense from store operating leases represents one of the largest expenses incurred in operating our stores. Rent expense under our store operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the original term of each store’s lease, inclusive of rent holiday periods during store construction and exclusive of any lease renewal options. Accordingly, we expense all pre-opening rent. All amounts received from landlords to fund tenant improvements are recorded as a deferred lease incentive liability, which is then amortized on a straight line basis as a credit to rent expense over the related store’s lease term.

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets

In the normal course of business, we acquire tangible and intangible assets. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets on a store-by-store basis (including property, plant and equipment, and other intangible assets) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset or asset group are less than its carrying amount. The amount of impairment loss recognized is equal to the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair values of the asset, with such estimated fair values determined using a discounted cash flow model consisting of, but not limited to projected sales growth, estimated gross margins, projected operating costs and an estimated weighted-average cost of capital rate. Impairments are recognized in operating earnings. We use our best judgment based on the most current facts and circumstances surrounding our business when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments, and the fair value of a potentially impaired asset. Changes in assumptions used could have a significant impact on our assessment of recoverability. Numerous factors, including changes in our business, industry segment and the global economy, could significantly impact our decision to retain, dispose of or idle certain of our long-lived assets.

20


During fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012, and fiscal 2011, and fiscal 2010, we recorded impairment charges of $3 million, $5 million $15 million, and $16$15 million, respectively. The impairment charges recorded during these periods resulted primarily from a variety of factors affecting our net sales, including unfavorable economic conditions and decreases in consumer spending, changes in fashion trends and customer preferences. The estimation of future cash flows from operating activities requires significant estimations of factors that include future sales and gross margin performance. If our sales or gross margin performance or other estimated operating results are not achieved at or above our forecasted level, the carrying value of certain of our retail stores may prove unrecoverable and we may incur additional impairment charges in the future. For more information concerning the evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets, see Note 34 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value on the grant date, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the respective award. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based compensation awards and stock price volatility. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine compensation expense for all stock options. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent

management’s best estimates, but those estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. See “Stock-Based Compensation” in Notes 1 and 89 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

Derivative Liability

In December 2011, we issued 1,000 shares of convertiblethe Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) in connection with the Term Loan. The Series B Preferred is convertible into approximately 13.5 million shares of our common stock at a conversion price initially equal to $1.75 per share. The fair value of the Series B Preferred at issuance was approximately $15 million which was recorded as a derivative liability. This derivative liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period. Changes in the related fair value are recorded in loss on derivative liability, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive operations.

Evaluation of Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, in the judgment of our management, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including recent financial operations, projected future taxable income, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and the length of tax asset carryforward periods. The realization of deferred tax assets is primarily dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable earnings in certain jurisdictions. If we subsequently determine that the carrying value of these assets, which had been written down, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made. See “Income Taxes” in Notes 1 and 910 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets and our assessment of a need for a valuation allowance.

53rd Week Calendar Shift
Our fiscal 2012 annual reporting period included a 53rd week. Due to the inclusion of a 53rd week in fiscal 2012, there was one less week in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. This resulted in a decrease in net sales of approximately $8 million, a 0.2% decrease in gross margin, and a $0.03 per diluted share decrease to our loss from continuing operations per share for fiscal 2013, compared to fiscal 2012.

 Total

For fiscal 2013, comparable store net sales increased 2%, average sales transactions increased 1% and total transactions increased 2%, as compared to the same period a year ago. The comparable store net sales increase was due to a 6% increase in Women’s sales, while Men’s sales were flat. The increase in Women’s sales was driven primarily by sales of tops and other apparel. Decreases in Men’s sales was due to a decline in sales of bottoms, offset by increases in sales of footwear and accessories. Apparel represented 82% of total Men’s sales for fiscal 2013 versus 85% in fiscal 2012, while Women’s apparel was 87% of total Women's sales for fiscal 2013 versus 86% in fiscal 2012. Total accessory and footwear sales were flat at 15% of total sales for fiscal 2013, as compared to the same period a year ago.
Gross Margin
Gross margin, including buying, distribution and occupancy costs, increased to $199 million in fiscal 2013 from $196 million in fiscal 2012, an increase of $3 million, or 1.5%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was flat at 25.0% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The primary components that caused gross margin to be flat to last year were as follows:

Increase in merchandise margin to 49.1% in fiscal 2013 from 48.9% in fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily due to an increase in initial markups partially offset by an increase in promotions and markdowns in fiscal 2013, compared to fiscal 2012. Adjusting for the 53rd week retail calendar shift, merchandise margin would have increased by 0.3% compared to the prior year.
(0.2)Increase in occupancy, distribution costs and all other non-merchandise margin costs as a percentage of sales as compared to fiscal 2012 primarily due to the 53rd week retail calendar shift.

We assess long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Based on management’s review of the historical operating performance, including sales trends, gross margin rates, current cash flows from operations and the projected outlook for each of our stores, we determined that certain stores would not be able to generate sufficient cash flows over the remaining term of the related leases to recover our investment in the respective stores. As a result, we recorded non-cash impairment charges from continuing operations of approximately $3 million and $5 million during fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, to write-down the carrying value of certain long-lived store assets to their estimated fair values.

Loss on Derivative Liability
We recorded an $11 million fair market value adjustment in fiscal 2013 related to our derivative liability (see “Derivative Liability” above). The net impact of the fair market value adjustments recorded in fiscal 2012 related to the derivative liability were immaterial to the fiscal 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, was $14 million for fiscal 2013, compared to $13 million in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2013, we recorded $9 million of interest expense of which $5 million was “payable in kind” ("PIK") interest expense and $4 million was paid in cash, related to the Term Loan. We also recorded $2 million of amortization of the debt discount in relation to the Term Loan and $2 million was interest expense associated with the “Mortgage Debt” (defined below). In fiscal 2012, we recorded $8 million of interest expense, of which $5 million was PIK interest expense related to the Term Loan. Amortization of the debt discount related to the Term Loan was $2 million in fiscal 2012 and there was $2 million of interest expense related to the Mortgage Debt.
Income Tax Expense
We recognized income tax expense of $1 million in each of fiscal 2013 and 2012. For fiscal 2014, we expect to continue to maintain a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets resulting in minimal income tax expense for the year. Information regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets and our assessment of a need for a valuation allowance is contained in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loss from Continuing Operations
Our loss from continuing operations for fiscal 2013 was $47 million, or $(0.69) per diluted share, versus a loss from continuing operations of $53 million, or $(0.78) per diluted share, for fiscal 2012. Included in the loss from continuing operations for fiscal 2013 was a non-cash loss of $11 million, or $(0.16) per diluted share related to our derivative liability, compared to a $6 thousand loss, or no earnings per diluted share impact, for the same period a year ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations primarily from internally generated cash flow and with short-term and long-term borrowings. Our primary cash requirements have been for the financing of inventories and construction of newly opened, remodeled, expanded or relocated stores. Although we made progress with respect to our comparable store net sales and gross margins in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, if we wereare unable to experience a substantial decline incontinue to grow our same-store sales and improve our gross margins in the future, we may be required to access most, if not all, of the Wells Credit Facility and would potentially require other sources of financing

to fund our operations, which sources might not be available. Based on current forecasts, we believe that cash flows from operations and working capital will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities in each of fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 and 2010 was $12 million, $6 million $22 million and $17$22 million, respectively. Investing cash outflows for fiscal 20122013 of $15$12 million were comprised primarily of capital expenditures for select new stores, refreshing existing stores and information technology investments at the store level. Investing cash outflows for fiscal 2012 were comprised of capital expenditures for select new stores, refreshing existing stores, and information technology investments at the store level and associated with our new online platform. Investing cash inflows of $9 million were related to the receipt of restricted cash that was used as collateral to fund letters of credit outstanding under our former Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase (the “Former Credit Facility”) and proceeds from insurance settlements. Investing cash outflows for fiscal 2011 were comprised of capital expenditures of $13 million and restricted cash of $9 million, partially offset by proceeds from insurance settlements of $0.3 million. Investing cash outflows for fiscal 2010 were comprised entirely of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were predominantly for refreshing existing stores and information technology investments in fiscal 2011 and for the opening of new, relocated and expanded stores and refreshing existing stores during fiscal 2010.cash. In fiscal 2013,2014, we expect total capital expenditures to be approximately $10$15 million to $15$20 million.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash used in financing activities was $1 million and $2 million in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, compared to cash provided of $56 million in fiscal 2011 and cash provided2011. The primary source of $29 millionfinancing outflows in fiscal 2010.2013 was principal payments under the two mortgage transactions we completed in fiscal 2010 (see "Mortgage Debt" below). The primary source of financing outflows in fiscal 2012 was principal payments under the Wells Credit Facility of $1.3 million.Facility. The primary source of financing inflows in fiscal 2011 was proceeds from the Term Loan of $60 million (see “Term Loan” below), partially reduced by offering costs of approximately $5 million. The primary source of financing inflows in fiscal 2010 was proceeds from two mortgage transactions we completed (see “Mortgage Debt” below).

Wells Credit Facility

On December 7, 2011, we entered into the Wells Credit Facility, a five-year, $100 million revolving credit facility which replaced the Formerour former Credit Facility.Facility with JPMorgan Chase (the “Former Credit Facility”). At February 2, 2013,1, 2014, we had no direct borrowings and $12$10 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Wells Credit Facility. The remaining availability under ourthe Wells Credit Facility at February 2, 20131, 2014 was $23$25 million. Additional information regarding the Wells Credit Facility is contained in Note 56 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Term Loan

On December 7, 2011, we obtained the Term Loan from an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital. The Term Loan is in the principal amount of $60 million and is due and payable on December 7, 2016. In conjunction with the Term Loan, we issued the Series B

Preferred, which has a liquidation value of $0.1 million, to the same affiliate of Golden Gate Capital, and gives that affiliate the right to purchase up to 13.5 million shares of our common stock, representing, as of December 7, 2011, 19.9% of our common stock outstanding (16.7% on a fully-diluted basis) at a conversion price of $1.75 per share of underlying common stock converted into. A portion of the proceeds of the Term Loan was used to repay the outstanding amounts under the Former Credit Facility. Additional information regarding the Term Loan is contained in Note 67 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mortgage Debt

On August 20, 2010, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Miraloma Borrower Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Pacific Sunwear Stores Corp., a California corporation, we completed two mortgage transactions and executed two promissory notes pursuant to which borrowings in an aggregate amount of $29.8 million from American National Insurance Company were incurred (the “Mortgage Debt”). Additional information regarding the Mortgage Debt is contained in Note 67 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations

We have minimum annual rental commitments under existing store leases as well as a minor amount of capital leases for computer equipment. We lease all of our retail store locations under operating leases. We lease equipment, from time to time, under both capital and operating leases. In addition, at any time, we are contingently liable for commercial letters of credit with foreign suppliers of merchandise. At February 2, 2013,1, 2014, our future financial commitments under all existing contractual obligations were as follows:

Operating lease obligations consist primarily of future minimum lease commitments related to store operating leases. The contractual obligations table above does not include common area maintenance (“CAM”) charges, insurance, or tax obligations, which are also required contractual obligations under our store operating leases. In many of our leases, CAM charges are not fixed and can fluctuate significantly from year to year for any particular store. Total store rental expenses, including CAM, were approximately $133$134 million, $135$130 million and $133$131 million in fiscal 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010,2011, respectively. Total CAM expenses represented 41%43%, 43%41% and 45%43% of total store rental expenses in fiscal 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010,2011, respectively, and may continue tocould fluctuate significantly from year to year as long-term leases come up for renewal at current market rates in excess of original lease terms and as we continue to close stores. Additional information regarding operating leases is contained in Note 1112 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

27



Obligations under the derivative liability associated with the Series B Preferred and our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan are equal to approximately $20$31 million and $2 million, respectively, as of February 2, 2013,1, 2014, and have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above as we are unable to reasonably determine the amount or the timing of the future payments.

As of February 2, 2013, obligations under the derivative liability and our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan were equal to approximately $20 million and $2 million, respectively.

Operating Leases

We lease our retail stores and certain equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through May 2023.January 2025. Many of our retail store leases require us to pay CAM charges, insurance and property taxes. In addition, many of our retail store leases require us to pay percentage rent ranging from 2% to 20% when sales volumes exceed certain minimum sales levels. The initial terms of such leases are typically 8 to 10 years, some of which contain renewal options exercisable at our discretion. Most leases also contain rent escalation clauses that come into effect at various times throughout the lease term. Rent expense is recorded under the straight-line method over the life of the lease (see “Straight-Line Rent” in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Other rent escalation clauses can take effect based on changes in primary mall tenants throughout the term of a given lease. Many leases also contain cancellation or kick-out clauses in our favor that relieve us of any future obligation under a lease if specified criteria are met. These cancellation provisions typically apply if annual store sales levels do not exceed $1 milliona certain amount or

24

Table of Contents

mall occupancy targets are not achieved within the first 36 months of the lease. Generally, we are not required to make payments to our landlords in order to exercise our cancellation rights under these provisions. The Wells Credit Facility and Term Loan do not preclude the transfer or disposal of assets related to the stores we are projecting to close by the end of fiscal 2013.2014. None of our retail store leases contain purchase options.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us, or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. We maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors and officers in certain circumstances.

It is not possible to determine our maximum potential liability under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Such indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, we have not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to us.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations in the recent past. However, product sourcing costs may increase during fiscal 20132014 due to a combination of increases in commodities, labor and currency costs. We currently estimate that these cost increases could adversely affect our net merchandise margins in fiscal 2013.2014. We intend to partially mitigate these increases through a combination of initiatives such as better product assortments, refined pricing strategies, localization initiatives, and detailed reviews of product specifications.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

Our business is seasonal by nature. Our first quarter historically accounts for the smallest percentage of annual net sales with each successive quarter contributing a greater percentage than the last. In recent years, approximately 45% of our net sales have occurred in the first half of the fiscal year and 55% have occurred in the second half. The six to seven week selling periods for each of the back-to-school and holiday seasons (the "Peak Selling Seasons") together account for approximately 35% to 40% of our annual net

28


sales and a higher percentage of our operating results on a combined basis. In recent years, the Peak Selling Seasons have become more concentrated, with incidents such as inclement weather adversely impacting mall traffic and consumer buying patterns.

Our quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including changes in consumer buying patterns, fashion trends, the timing and level of markdowns, the timing of store closings, expansions and relocations, competitive factors, and general economic conditions.

ITEM7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with the Wells Credit Facility. Generally, direct borrowings under the Wells Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate which, at the Company’s option, may be determined by reference to a LIBOR rate or a Base Rate, plus 1.50% (1.70% at1.75% or 0.75%, respectively, (as defined in the Wells Credit Facility, 1.91% as of February 2, 2013)1, 2014). See Note 56 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

A sensitivity analysis was performed with respect to the Wells Credit Facility to determine the impact of unfavorable changes in interest rates on our cash flows. The sensitivity analysis quantified that the estimated potential cash flow impact would be less than $10,000 in additional interest expense (for each $1 million borrowed) if interest rates were to increase by 10% over a three-month period. Actual interest charges incurred may differ from those estimated because of changes or differences in market rates, differences in amounts borrowed, timing and other factors.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. The derivative liability associated with the Series B Preferred is recorded at fair value using an options pricing model which is dependent on the market price of our common stock. Changes in the value of the derivative are included as a component of earnings in current operations. A sensitivity analysis was performed with respect to the Series B Preferred to determine the impact of fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. The sensitivity analysis determined that the impact of a market price fluctuation of 10% would change the fair value of the derivative liability by approximately $2$4 million. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our derivative liability and valuation thereof.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of February 2, 2013.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our

29


management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the original framework inInternal Control — Integrated Framework (1992)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the original framework inInternal Control — Integrated Framework (1992), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 2, 2013.1, 2014.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter ended February 2, 20131, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc.

Anaheim, California


We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”"Company") as of February 2, 2013,1, 2014, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’sCompany's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanyingManagement’s Report on Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting.Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’sCompany's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


A company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’scompany's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’scompany's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’scompany's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 2, 2013,1, 2014, based on the criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (1992)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.


We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended February 2, 2013,1, 2014, of the Company, and our report dated April 5, 2013,March 28, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding discontinued operations as discussed in Note 1415 to the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc.

Anaheim, California


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”"Company") as of February 1, 2014, and February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 2, 2013.1, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’sCompany's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on thesethe consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the CompanyPacific Sunwear of California, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 1, 2014, and February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 2, 2013,1, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


As discussed in Note 1415 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying 2013, 2012, 2011 and 20102011 financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to classify the results of operations of certain closed stores as discontinued operations for all periods presented.


We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’sCompany's internal control over financial reporting as of February 2, 2013,1, 2014, based on the criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (1992)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 5, 2013,March 28, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’sCompany's internal control over financial reporting.

At January 28, 2012, restricted cash included $8.6 million of cash held as collateral to fund letters of credit outstanding under the Company’s former credit facility and it was released within 12 months. See Note 5, “Credit Facility” for further discussion regarding the Company’s former credit facility.

Merchandise Inventories

Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market utilizing the retail method. At any given time, inventories include items that have been marked down to management’s best estimate of their fair market value. These estimates are based on a combination of factors, including current selling prices, current and projected inventory levels, current and projected rates of sell-through, known markdown and/or promotional events expected to create a permanent decrease in inventory value, estimated inventory shrink and aging of specific items. ReservesAllowances of approximately $1.4$2.9 million and $12.7$1.4 million have been accrued againstrecorded to

write-down the carrying value of existing inventory at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively, and can vary from year to year depending on the timing and nature of markdowns.

Property and Equipment

All property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Property Category

 

Depreciation Term

Buildings

 39 years

Building improvements

 Lesser of remaining estimated useful life of the building or estimated useful life of the improvement

Leasehold improvements

 Lesser of remaining lease term (at inception, generally 10 years) or estimated useful life of the improvement

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 Generally 5 years (ranging from 3 to 15 years), depending on the nature of the asset

Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Based on management’s review of the historical operating performance, including sales trends, gross margin rates, current cash flows from operations and the projected outlook for each of the Company’s stores, the Company determines whether certain stores will be able to generate sufficient cash flows over the remaining term of the related leases to recover the Company’s investment in the respective stores. Based on that determination, the Company will record an impairment charge within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operationsOperations and comprehensive operations,Comprehensive Operations, to write-down the carrying value of its long-lived store assets to their estimated fair values. See Note 3,4, “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets,” for a discussion of asset impairment charges.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

F-8


PACIFIC SUNWEAR OF CALIFORNIA, INC.


Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, in the judgment of the Company’s management, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including recent financial operations,operating results, projected future taxable income, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and the length of tax asset carryforward periods. The realization of deferred tax assets is primarily dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable earnings in certain jurisdictions. If the Company subsequently determines that the carrying value of these assets, for which a valuation allowance has been established, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased by reducing the valuation allowance, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made. See Note 9,10, “Income Taxes,” for further discussion regarding the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets and assessment of a need for a valuation allowance.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with authoritative guidance for income taxes. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s tax return. The literature also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions.

Insurance Reserves

The Company uses a combination of third-party insurance and self-insurance for workers’ compensation, employee medical and general liability insurance. For each type of insurance, the Company has defined stop-loss or deductible provisions that limit the Company’s maximum exposure to claims. The Company maintains reserves for estimated claims associated with these programs, both reported and incurred but not reported, based on historical claims experience and other estimated assumptions.

Revenue Recognition


F-8

Table of Contents
PACIFIC SUNWEAR OF CALIFORNIA, INC.


Sales are recognized upon purchase by customers at the Company’s retail store locations or upon delivery to and acceptance by the customer for orders placed through the Company’s website. The Company records the sale of gift cards as a current liability and recognizes a sale when a customer redeems a gift card. The amount of the gift card liability is determined taking into account the Company’s estimate of the portion of gift cards that will not be redeemed or recovered (“gift card breakage”). Gift card breakage is generally recognized as revenue after 24 months, at which time the likelihood of redemption is considered remote based on the Company’s historical redemption data. Gift card breakage has never been more than 1.0% of sales in any fiscal year. The Company accrues for estimated sales returns by customers based on historical sales return results. Sales return accrual activity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended February 2, 2013,1, 2014, is as follows:

Vendor Allowances

Cash consideration received from vendors primarily includes discounts, vendor allowances and rebates. The Company recognizes cash received from vendors as a reduction in the price of the vendor’s products and, accordingly, as a reduction in cost of sales at the time the related inventory is sold.

Straight-Line Rent

Rent expense under the Company’s store operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the original term of each store’s lease, inclusive of rent holiday periods during store construction and excluding any lease renewal options. Accordingly, the Company expenses pre-opening rent.

Deferred Lease Incentives

Amounts received from landlords to fund tenant improvements are recorded as a deferred lease incentive liability and then amortized as a credit to rent expense over the related store’s lease term.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll, depreciation and amortization, advertising, credit authorization charges, expenses associated with the counting of physical inventories, and all other general and administrative expenses not directly related to merchandise or operating the Company’s stores.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment arrangements, net of an estimated forfeiture rate and generally recognizes compensation cost for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.award using the straight-line method of amortization. For stock options and stock appreciation rights, the Company generally determines the grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires the input of certain assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment awards, stock price volatility and interest rates. For restricted stock unit valuation, the Company determines the fair value using the grant date price of the Company’s common stock.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed in accordance to ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share" (“ASC 260”), using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock and nonvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. In periods where a net loss is reported, incremental shares are excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive. In such circumstances, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculations will be the same. Anti-dilutive options and non-vested shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because either the option exercise price or the grant date fair value of the non-vested share is greater than the market price of the Company’s common stock. Anti-dilutive options and non-vestednonvested shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations were as follows:

4. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Based on management’s review of the historical operating performance, including sales trends, gross margin rates, current cash flows from operations and the projected outlook for each of the Company’s stores, the Company determined that certain stores would not be able to generate sufficient cash flows over the remaining term of the related leases to recover the Company’s investment in the respective stores. As a result, the Company recorded the following non-cash impairment charges related to its retail stores within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Operations, to write-down the carrying value of its long-lived store assets to their estimated fair values.

The long-lived assets disclosed above that were written down to their respective fair values consisted primarily of leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. The Company recognized impairment charges of $1.3$1.2 million and $2.0$1.3 million, respectively, during the fourth fiscal quarters ended February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively, and $3.2 million, $5.3 million $14.8 million and $15.6$14.8 million, during the fiscal years ended February 1, 2014, February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, and January 29, 2011, respectively. The decrease in the number of stores tested for impairment year-over-year was primarily related to the Company’s recent closure of certain underperforming stores and the improved financial performance of the remaining store base. Based on historical operating performance and the projected outlook for a subset of the stores tested for impairment as of February 2, 2013,1, 2014, the Company believes that the remaining asset value of approximately $5$0.3 million, is recoverable.

6.  CREDIT FACILITY

On December 7, 2011, the Company entered into a new five-year, $100 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A (the “Wells Credit Facility”), which replaced the Company’s previous revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase (the “Former Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Wells Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate which, at the Company’s option, may be determined by reference to a LIBOR Rate or a Base Rate, plus 1.75% or 0.75%, respectively, (as defined in the Wells Credit Facility, 4.0%1.91% as of February 2, 2013)1, 2014). Extensions of credit under the Wells Credit Facility are limited to a borrowing base consisting of specified percentages of eligible categories of assets. The Wells Credit Facility is available for direct borrowings and allows for the issuance of letters of credit, and up to $12.5 million is available for swing-line loans. The Wells Credit Facility is secured by liens and security interests with (a) a first priority security interest in the current and certain related assets of the Company including cash, cash equivalents, deposit accounts, securities accounts, credit card receivables and inventory, and (b) a second priority security interest in all assets and properties of the Company that are not secured by a first lien and security interest. The Wells Credit Facility also contains covenants that, subject to specified exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, liquidate or dissolve, sell, transfer, lease or dispose of assets, or make loans, investments or guarantees. The Wells Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on December 7, 2016. Although the Company made progress with respect to its comparable store net sales and gross margins in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, if the Company wereis unable to experience a decline incontinue to grow its same-store sales and improve its gross margins in the future, it may be required to access most, if not all, of the Wells Credit Facility and would potentially require other sources of financing to fund our operations, which sources might not be available. Based on current forecasts, the Company believes that its cash flows from operations and working capital will be

sufficient to meet its operating and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months. At February 2, 2013,1, 2014, the Company had no direct borrowings and $12$10 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Wells Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility agreement, the Company also may be subject to more frequent debt compliance reporting and certain cash control requirements if itsThe remaining availability under the Wells FargoCredit Facility falls below $25 million. Although such availabilityat February 1, 2014 was $23 million at February 2, 2013, Wells Fargo waived the additional reporting and cash control requirements. As of April 5, 2013, the Company had availability aboveapproximately $25 million. The Company is not subject to any financial covenant restrictions under the Wells Credit Facility.

7. DEBT

Term Loan

On December 7, 2011, the Company obtained the $60 million Term Loan funded by an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum to be paid in cash, due and payable quarterly in arrears, and 7.5% per annum, due and payable-in-kind (“PIK”) annually in arrears, with such PIK interest then due and payable being added to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan at the end of each fiscal year, and with adjustments to the cash and PIK portion of the interest rate in accordance with the Term Loan agreement, following principal prepayments. During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded $9 million of interest expense, including approximately $5 million of accrued PIK interest, related to the Term Loan. In fiscal 2012, the Company recorded $8 million of interest expense, including approximately $5 million of accrued PIK interest, related to the Term Loan. In fiscal 2011, the Company recorded $1 million of interest expense, including approximately $0.7 million of accrued PIK interest, related to the Term Loan. Annual interest related to the Term Loan for fiscal 20132014 is expected to be approximately $9 million, including approximately $5 million of accrued PIK interest. The Term Loan is guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by any future domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The Term Loan is secured by liens and security interests with (a) a first priority security interest in all long-term assets of the Company and PacSun Stores and all other assets not subject to a first lien and security interest pursuant to the Wells Credit Facility, (b) a first priority pledge of the equity interests of Miraloma and (c) a second priority security interest in all assets of the Company and PacSun Stores subject to a first lien and security interest pursuant to the Wells Credit Facility. The Term Loan also contains covenants substantially identical to those in the Wells Credit Facility. The principal balance and any unpaid interest related to the Term Loan is due on December 7, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility agreement, the Company also may be subject to more frequent debt compliance reporting and certain cash control requirements if its availability under the Wells Fargo Facility falls below $25 million. Although such availability was $23 million at February 2, 2013, Golden Gate Capital also waived the additional reporting and cash control requirements. As of April 5, 2013, the Company had availability above $25 million. The Company is not subject to any financial covenant restrictions under the Term Loan.


Mortgage Debt

On August 20, 2010, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Miraloma and PacSun Stores, executed two promissory notes pursuant to which borrowings in an aggregate amount of $29.8$29.8 million from American National Insurance Company (“Anico”) were incurred. The note executed by Miraloma (the “Miraloma Note”) is in the amount of $16.8$16.8 million and bears interest at the rate of 6.50% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments under the Miraloma Note commenced on October 1, 2010, and are $113,435.$113,435. The principal and interest payments are based on a 25-year25-year amortization schedule. The remaining principal balance of the Miraloma Note, and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (estimated to be $14.4 million)$14.4 million), will be due in full on September 1, 2017.2017. The Miraloma Note is secured by a deed of trust on the building and land comprising the Company’s principal executive offices in Anaheim, California and is non-recourse to the Company. The Miraloma Note does not contain any financial covenants. In connection with this transaction, the Company transferred the building and related land securing the Miraloma Note to Miraloma and entered into a lease for the building and land with Miraloma. Miraloma paid a prepayment fee to Anico equal to 1%1.00% of the principal amount of the Miraloma Note on the closing date of the transaction. As a result, Miraloma may prepay the Miraloma Note, in whole, but not in part, at any time without penalty upon 30 days prior written notice to Anico.

The note executed by PacSun Stores (the “PacSun Stores Note”) is in the amount of $13.0$13.0 million and bears interest at the rate of 6.50% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments under the PacSun Stores Note commenced on October 1, 2010, and are $87,777.$87,777. The principal and interest payments are based on a 25-year25-year amortization schedule. The remaining principal balance of the PacSun Stores Note, and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (estimated to be $11.2 million)$11.2 million), will be due in full on September 1, 2017.2017. The PacSun Stores Note is secured by a mortgage on the Company’s leasehold interest in the building and land comprising the Company’s distribution center in Olathe, Kansas, and is unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The PacSun Stores Note does not contain any financial covenants. PacSun Stores paid a prepayment fee to Anico equal to 1%1.00% of the principal amount of the PacSun Stores Note on the closing date of the transaction. As a result, PacSun Stores may prepay the PacSun Stores Note, in whole, but not in part, at any time without penalty upon 30 days prior written notice to Anico.

8.  INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND TRANSACTION – OLATHE, KANSAS

On July 17, 2007, PacSun Stores, completed an industrial revenue bond financing transaction with the city of Olathe, Kansas (the “City”) that will provide property tax savings for 10 years on the Company’s new distribution center located in the City. In the transaction, the City purchased the land and building from PacSun Stores through the issuance to PacSun Stores of approximately $23 million in industrial revenue bonds due January 1, 2018 (“Bonds”) and contemporaneously leased the land and building to PacSun Stores for an identical term. PacSun Stores can call the Bonds at any time it chooses, but would lose its property tax benefit in the event this transaction was to be cancelled.canceled. In the Company’s consolidated balance sheet,Consolidated Balance Sheet, the land and building remain a component of property and equipment, the investment in the Bonds is included in other assets, and the related long-term lease obligation is included in other long-term liabilities.

PacSun Stores, as holder of the Bonds, is due interest at 7% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. This interest income is directly offset by the interest-only lease payments on the distribution center, which are due at the same time and in the same amount as the interest income. Both the Bonds and the corresponding lease have 10-year terms. If, at any time, PacSun Stores chooses to call the Bonds, the proceeds from the Bonds would be required to immediately terminate the lease. PacSun Stores’ intention is to maintain the property tax benefit related to the Olathe facility. Accordingly, both the Bonds and the lease are classified as long-term due to PacSun Stores’ intent to hold the Bonds until maturity and the structure of the lease, which includes a balloon principal payment and bargain purchase requirement at the end of the lease term.

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

In connection with certain lease modifications during fiscal 2011, the Company issued 900,000 shares of its common stock to one of its landlords. The fair value on the date of issuance was approximately $1.6 million, which has been amortized on a straight-line basis as a component of occupancy costs over the respective rent reduction period.

Preferred Stock

In conjunction with the Term Loan, the Company issued the Seriesconvertible series B Preferredpreferred stock (the "Series B Preferred") to an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital which, based on the initial conversion ratio, gives that affiliate the right to purchase up to 13.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series B Preferred shares have an exercise price initially equal to $1.75$1.75 per share of the Company’s underlying common stock. The initial holder of the Series B Preferred is entitled to customary registration rights with respect to the underlying common stock. See Note 9,11, “Fair Value Measurements – Recurring Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion on the accounting treatment of the Series B Preferred.

PACIFIC SUNWEAR OF CALIFORNIA, INC.

Shareholder Protection Rights Plan

On March 22, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a new Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement (the “New Rights Plan”) and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) on each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The New Rights Plan replaces the previous Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement that was adopted on December 7, 2011, which was amended to expire upon adoption of the New Rights Plan. The dividend was paid to shareholders of record on April 1, 2013, upon certification by the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the SEC that the Rights were approved for listing.

The New Rights Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders at the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders.

If any person or group acquires between 20% and 50% of the Company’s common stock, the Board of Directors may, at its option, exchange one share of the Company’s common stock for each Right. Under the New Rights Plan, among other things, a person or

F-14

PACIFIC SUNWEAR OF CALIFORNIA, INC.


group which acquires 20% or more of the common stock of the Company will trigger the ability of the shareholders (other than the 20% holder) to exercise the Rights for an exercise price of $10.00 per Right (subject to certain adjustments from time to time) and to purchase a number of shares of common stock with a market value of twice the exercise price of the Rights exercised. The Rights are redeemable at any time by the Company at $0.01 per Right. In addition to the Board of Directors’ redemption, in connection with a “Qualified Offer” (as defined in the New Rights Plan), holders of 10% of the common stock of the Company then outstanding (excluding shares held by the offeror and its affiliates and associates), upon providing proper written notice, may direct the Board of Directors to call a special meeting of shareholders for the purposes of voting on a resolution authorizing the redemption of the Rights pursuant to the provisions of the New Rights Plan. Such meeting must be held on or prior to the 90th business day following the Company’s receipt of such written notice. The New Rights Plan will expire on March 22, 2016 if approved by shareholders and on March 22, 2014 if not approved by shareholders prior to such date.2016.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains two stock-based incentive plans: (1) the 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Performance Plan”) and (2) the amended and restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The types of awards that may be granted under the Performance Plan include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company’s common stock or units of the Company’s common stock. Persons eligible to receive awards under the Performance Plan include officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directors of the Company and certain consultants and advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The vesting of awards under the Performance Plan is determined at the date of grant. Each award expires on a date determined at the date of grant; however, the maximum term of options and stock appreciation rights under the Performance Plan is ten years after the grant date of the award. As of February 2, 2013,1, 2014, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that was available for award grants under the Performance Plan was 2.42.6 million shares. Any shares subject to awards under prior stock plans that are canceled, forfeited or otherwise terminate without having vested or been exercised, as applicable, will become available for otherfuture award grants under the Performance Plan. The Performance Plan will terminate on March 22, 2015, unless terminated earlier by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of its stock options. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense to be recognized during the vesting period. The expected term of options granted is derived primarily from historical data on employee exercises adjusted for expected changes to option terms, if any. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company records stock-based compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period, which is generally three to four years.years. The Company’s stock-based awards generally begin vesting one year after the grant date and, for stock options, expire in seven to ten years or three months after termination of employment with the Company. The Company’s stock-based compensation expense resulted from awards of stock options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights, as well as from shares issued under the ESPP

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

The Company’s ESPP provides a method for Company employees to voluntarily purchase Company common stock at a 10% discount from fair market value as of the beginning or the end of each six-month purchasing period, whichever is lower. Historically, the Company's purchase period has been equal to six months; however, following the June 2013 ESPP purchase, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company changed the purchase period to one year. The ESPP covers substantially all employees who have three months of service with the Company, excluding senior executives. The ESPP is intended to constitute an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

On March 20, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the ESPP to increase the number of authorized shares thereunder from 2.1 million shares to 2.5 million shares. Such amendment is subject to approval by the shareholders at the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders.

The Company recognized $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million in compensation expense related to the ESPP forof $0.1 million in each of fiscal 2013, 2012 2011 and 2010, respectively.2011.

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), and as a result of continued pre-tax operating losses, a full valuation allowance was established by the Company during the fourth quarter of 2009 and continues to be maintained on all federal and the majority of state and local jurisdiction net deferred tax assets. The Company has discontinued recognizing income tax benefits until it is determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred income tax assets. As of the year ended February 2, 2013,1, 2014, the Company did not record a valuation allowance against various deferred tax assets related to separate filing jurisdictions of $4.1$4.0 million as the Company concluded it is more likely than not these deferred tax assets will be utilized before expiration. As of the year ended February 2, 2013,1, 2014, federal valuation allowances and state valuation allowances against deferred tax assets were $100.6$113.6 million and $23.3$24.7 million, respectively. The Company recorded the $20.1$14.4 million change in valuation allowance with a continuing operations valuation allowance provision of $19.4$13.3 million. The $0.7$1.1 million difference between the balance sheet change in valuation allowance and continuing operations valuation allowance provision relates to the discontinued operations valuation benefitprovision and the federal benefit of the state valuation allowance provision.

The Company continues to monitor whether an ownership change has occurred under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”). Based on available information at the reporting date, the Company believes it has not experienced an ownership change through the year ended February 2, 2013.1, 2014. The determination of whether or not an ownership change under Section 382 has occurred requires the Company to evaluate certain acquisitions and dispositions of ownership interests over a rolling three-year period. As a result, future acquisitions and dispositions could result in an ownership change of the Company under Section 382. If an ownership change were to occur, the Company’s ability to utilize federal net operating loss carryforwards could be significantly limited.


On September 13, 2013, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS issued final regulations that address costs incurred in acquiring, producing, or improving tangible property (the "tangible property regulations"). The tangible property regulations are generally effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The tangible property regulations will require the Company to make additional tax accounting method changes effective as of February 2, 2014; however, the Company does not anticipate the impact of these changes to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, its results of operations, or both.
As of February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, unrecognized income tax benefits accounted for under ASC 740 totaled approximately $0.3 million at each date.million. Of those amounts at each date,that amount, approximately $0.2 million representrepresents unrecognized tax benefits that would, if recognized, favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in any future periods. There were no material unrecognized income tax benefits as of February 1, 2014. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months.

The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) at February 1, 2014, February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, and January 29, 2011:

Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are included in income tax expense and totaled less than $0.1 million for fiscal 2012.2013. Accrued interest and penalties were not material as of February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and multiple other state and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years prior to 20062010 and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to state and local examinations for years before 2007. In fiscal 2011, an examination of our income tax returns for the 2007 and 2008 tax years was completed by the Internal Revenue Service resulting in a proposed tax adjustment of $4.5 million. In fiscal 2012, the Company resolved this issue with the Internal Revenue Service resulting in no tax due.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and measures its nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value as required or permitted.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received pursuant to the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In order to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, the Company applies the three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Company’s assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs) and requires the use of observable inputs if such data is available without undue cost and effort. The hierarchy is as follows:

Ÿ

Level 1 — quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Ÿ

Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 inputs, which are observable either directly or indirectly.

Ÿ

Level 3 — unobservable inputs.

F-21Level 1

— quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 inputs, which are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — unobservable inputs.

PACIFIC SUNWEAR OF CALIFORNIA, INC.



Level 3 assumptions are, by their nature, inherently uncertain and the effect of changes in estimates may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Liability

The Series B Preferred shares are required to be measured at fair value each reporting period. The fair value of the Series B Preferred shares was estimated using an option pricingoption-pricing model that requires Level 3 inputs, which are highly subjective and determined using the following significant assumptions:

Money Market Funds

As of February 2, 2013,1, 2014, the Company had noheld $20.0 million in money market funds compared to $19.8 millionnone held in money market funds at January 28, 2012.February 2, 2013. The fair value of money market funds is determined based on “Level 1” inputs in accordance with ASC 820, which consist of quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

On a non-recurring basis, using a discounted cash flow model, the Company measures certain of its long-lived assets at fair value based on Level 3 inputs including, but not limited to, moderate comparable store sales and margin growth, projected operating costs based primarily on historical trends, and an estimated weighted-average cost of capital rate. During fiscal 2013, 2012 2011 and 20102011 the Company recorded $3.2 million, $5.3 million $14.8 million and $15.6$14.8 million of impairment charges in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Operations.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The provisions of ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”), provide companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establish presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. We have not elected to apply the fair value option to any specific financial assets or liabilities.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases its retail stores and certain equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through May 2023.January 2025. Many of its retail store leases require the Company to pay CAM charges, insurance, property taxes and percentage rent ranging from 2% to 20% when sales volumes exceed certain minimum sales levels. The initial terms of such leases are typically 8 to 10 years, many of which contain renewal options exercisable at the Company’s discretion. Most leases also contain rent escalation clauses that come into effect at various times throughout the lease term. Rent expense is recorded under the straight-line method over the life of the lease. Other rent escalation clauses can take effect based on changes in primary mall tenants throughout the term of a given lease. Many leases also contain cancellation or kick-out clauses in the Company’s favor that relieve the Company of any future obligation under a lease if specified criteria are met. These cancellation provisions typically apply if annual store sales levels do not exceed $1 millioncertain amounts or mall occupancy targets are not achieved within the first 36 months of the lease. Generally, the Company is not required to make payments to landlords in order to exercise its cancellation rights under these provisions. The Wells Credit Facility and Term Loan do not preclude the transfer or disposal of assets related to the stores the Company is projecting to close by the end of fiscal 2013.2014. None of the Company’s retail store leases contain purchase options.

The table above does not include CAM charges, which are also a required contractual obligation under many of the Company’s store operating leases. In many of the Company’s leases, CAM charges are not fixed and can fluctuate significantly from year to year for any particular store. Store rents, including CAM, were approximately $133$134 million, $135$130 million and $133$131 million in fiscal 2013, 2012 2011 and 2010,2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $5 million in 2013, $7 million in 2012, and $4 million in 2011, and $2 million in 2010, were paid as percentage rent based on sales volume. The Company expects total CAM charges to continue to increase from year to year or as long-term leases come up for renewal at current market rates in excess of original lease terms.
