EXPLANATORY NOTE
Stein Mart, Inc. (the "Company") is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q beyond the deadline for which the Company was originally required to file it in reliance on the filing extension provided by the SEC’s Order under Section 36 of the Registrant’s common stockSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318), as modified on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”).
On April 23, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) to indicate its intention to rely on the Order and delay the filing of November 28, 2017,its Quarterly Report for the first quarter ended May 2, 2020, which was 47,952,360.


Stein Mart, Inc.

originally due to be filed with the SEC on or before June 16, 2020. Consistent with the Company’s statements in the Form 8-K, the Company was unable to file the Quarterly Report until July 16, 2020 due to circumstances related to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. In particular, the Company required additional time due to its previously announced reduction in staff, suspension of in-person operations at its corporate headquarters, and temporary closure of its stores for an unknown period of time, as well as other financial and operational concerns associated with or caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These conditions caused significant disruptions to the Company’s operations requiring key personnel to devote considerable time and resources to respond to the emerging impacts to its business, which limited their availability to complete the Quarterly Report and to thoroughly evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form10-Q and Article 10 of RegulationS-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for completeannual audited financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Due to the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form10-K/A 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2017,February 1, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 18, 2017.

June 15, 2020.

As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and “Stein Mart” refer to Stein Mart, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Certain reclassifications have been made

The Company is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q beyond the deadline for which the Company was originally required to file it in reliance on the filing extension provided by the SEC’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318), as modified on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”).
On April 23, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) to indicate its intention to rely on the Order and delay the filing of its Quarterly Report for the first quarter ended May 2, 2020, which was originally due to be filed with the SEC on or before June 16, 2020. Consistent with the Company’s statements in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) duringForm 8-K, the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016,Company was unable to conformfile the Quarterly Report until July 16, 2020 due to the 2017 presentation.

Correction of an Immaterial Error

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we identified an immaterial prior period error in ourlower-of-cost-or-market adjustment for aged inventory. The immaterial error was corrected with a charge during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 resulting in anout-of-period increase in Cost of merchandise sold. The effect of this immaterial error on the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016 would have been an increase of $0.2 million to Cost of merchandise sold, a decrease of $0.1 million in net income and an increase of $0.7 million to Cost of merchandise sold and a decrease of $0.4 million in net income, respectively.

Capital Leases

In October 2017, Stein Mart entered into a three-year capital lease agreement for networking and telephone equipment. The capital lease agreement carries a bargain purchase option for the equipment. The leased networking equipment has a useful life of three years and the telephone equipment has a useful life of five years; the equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective periods. The leased equipment was recorded at fair value as this amount was less than the present value of the minimum lease payments, which was $0.8 million.

The gross value of assets subject to capital leases was $0.8 million as of October 28, 2017, and is included in Property and equipment, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). The remaining capital lease obligation of $0.8 million as of October 28, 2017, is split between Accrued expenses and other current liabilities for the short-term portion and Other liabilities for the long-term portion on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited).

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma

During the third quarter of 2017, hurricanes Harvey and Irma made landfall in Texas and Florida, respectively. We operate 44 stores in Texas and 46 stores in Florida and approximately half of these locations were closed for multiple days or had reduced hours of operation. We have recognized a loss of approximately $1.4 million in hurricane-related expenses, mainly related to damaged inventory. We have also received $0.5 million in insurance recoveries during the period. We continue to work with our insurers on our claims and will recover additional amounts for our lossescircumstances related to the hurricanes. Those recoveriescoronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. In particular, the Company required additional time due to its previously announced reduction in staff, suspension of in-person operations at its corporate headquarters, and temporary closure of its stores for an unknown period of time, as well as other financial and operational concerns associated with or caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These conditions caused significant disruptions to the Company’s operations requiring key personnel to devote considerable time and resources to respond to the emerging impacts to its business, which limited their availability to complete the Quarterly Report and to thoroughly evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Going Concern
During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of COVID-19. The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during the first half of March, as federal, state and local governments reacted to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. In March 2020, we announced the temporary closure of all stores for an unknown period of time and significant actions taken to mitigate the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our cash flows to protect our business and associates for the long term in response to the crisis. Such actions include targeted reductions in discretionary operating expenses such as advertising and payroll expenses, including furloughing a significant number of our employees and temporarily reducing the payroll of remaining employees, reducing capital expenditures, reducing merchandise receipts, and utilizing funds available under our Revolving Credit Facility and Promissory Note. Further, we have sought and are seeking extended payment terms with all vendors, including merchandise, expense and rent vendors. We started reopening stores on April 23, 2020 as government jurisdictions have allowed, and as of June 15, 2020, we have reopened all of our stores with limited operating hours. We are unable to predict if additional periods of store closures will be recorded when theyneeded or mandated.

Continued impacts of the pandemic have had a material adverse impact on our revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows, and may require significant additional actions in response, including, but not limited to, further employee furloughs, reduced store hours, store closings, expense reductions or discounting of pricing of our products, all in an effort to mitigate such impacts. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak within the U.S., the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are received.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Standards

In March 2016,August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”("ASU") No.2016-04, Liabilities-Extinguishments of Liabilities (Subtopic405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This update provides additional guidance to ASU No. 2015-5, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which was issued in April 2015. The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). This ASU are designed to provide guidance and eliminate diversity in practice of accounting for derecognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities. Typically, a prepaid stored-value product liability is to be derecognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of the recognized breakage amount will not subsequently occur. This is when the likelihood of the product holder exercising its remaining rights becomes remote. This estimate shall be updated at the end of each period. The amendments are effective for fiscal yearsannual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017,2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted.annual periods with early adoption permitted in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. We plan to adoptadopted this ASU in fiscal year 2018 and doas of February 2, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016,

2. Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of our merchandise is recognized at the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizationstime of sale net of any returns, discounts and percentage-off coupons. Our Ecommerce operation records revenue as online orders are fulfilled and provided to recognize lease assetsa carrier for delivery from our warehouse or directly from our vendors. Store sales include online orders that are fulfilled and leaseshipped or picked up from our stores. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are also included in total net sales with corresponding costs recorded as cost of merchandise sold as they are considered a fulfillment cost. Future merchandise returns are estimated based on historical experience. Sales tax collected from customers is not recognized as revenue and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The main provisions of the new standard include: clarifications to the definitions of a lease, components of leases, and criteria for determining lease classification; requiring virtually all leased assets, including operating leases and related liabilities, to be reflected on the lessee’s balance sheet; and expanding and adding to the required disclosures for lessees. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. We are in the process of evaluating our lease portfolio and identifying what additional data will be needed to comply with the new standard. We have identified a software application suited to track and account for leases under the new standard. We plan to adoptASU 2016-02 in fiscal year 2019 and are currently evaluating the overall effect the adoption of this ASU will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We currently believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant effect on our Consolidated Balance Sheets dueuntil paid. Our shoe department and vintage luxury handbag department inventories are each owned by separate single suppliers under supply agreements. Our commissions from the sales in these areas are included in net sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We offer gift and merchandise return cards to our customers. Some cards are electronic and none have expiration dates. At the time gift cards are sold, the issuance is recorded as a liability to customers, and no revenue is recognized. At the time merchandise return cards are issued for returned merchandise, the sale is reversed and a liability to customers is recorded. These card liabilities are reduced and sales revenue is recognized when they are redeemed for merchandise. Card liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our gift and merchandise return cards may not ultimately be redeemed either in full or partially. We account for this “breakage” of unused amounts as revenue in proportion to the additionpattern of our applicable leased assets and related liabilities. We do not believerights exercised by the adoption of this ASU will have a significant effect on our results of operations as the depreciation and interest under the new standard will approximate our rent expense as itcustomer. Breakage revenue is currently being recorded.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This update provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting forrecorded within other revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASUNo. 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

We have completed an initial scoping analysisConsolidated Statements of the effect of the standards to identify the revenue streams that may be affected by this ASU. In our ongoing evaluation of this ASU, we have determined that the new standard will primarily apply to the following areas of our business: point of sale transactions, ecommerce, consignment, drop ship, shipping and handling, credit card income, gift card breakage and loyalty programs. We expect the adoption will not change the timing or amount of revenue recognized as it relates to revenue from point of sale at the registers in our stores, which constitutes approximately 97% of our Net sales revenue. We continue to evaluate other revenue streams, such as ecommerce sales and shipping revenue, and there may be a slight change in the timing of when such revenue is recognized.

This guidance was deferred by ASUNo. 2015-14, issued by the FASB in August 2015, and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. While do not expect this change, if any, to have a material effect, we are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of these ASUs may have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, as well as our preferred method of adoption. We will adopt these ASUs, including all related new disclosures, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Operations. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we recognized $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of breakage revenue on unused gift and merchandise return cards.

Stein Mart Credit Cards
We offer co-branded and private label credit cards under the Stein Mart brand. These cards are issued by Synchrony Bank (“Synchrony”) in accordance with our Amended and Restated Co-Brand and Private Label Credit Card Consumer Program Agreement (the “Agreement”). Synchrony extends credit directly to card holders, provides all servicing for the credit card accounts and bears all risk of credit and fraud losses. On August 21, 2019, we entered into an amendment to our Agreement with Synchrony whereby Synchrony waived its rights to require us to post cash reserves to cure our failure to satisfy one or more of the quarterly financial covenants specified in the Agreement for periods through October 28, 2017,31, 2020 (the “Exemption Period”). As consideration for Synchrony’s entry into this amendment, we agreed to reduce the amount of fees paid to us by Synchrony under the Agreement from September 1, 2019 through the end of the Exemption Period.
We receive royalty revenue from Synchrony based on card usage in our stores and at other retailers for the Stein Mart Mastercard. We also receive revenues for new accounts and gain share based on the profitability of the overall program. Credit card revenue is recorded within other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These revenues are recorded as they are earned based on the occurrence of the various program activities and typically represent the majority of other revenue.
Once a card is activated, the card holders are eligible to participate in the Stein Mart SMart Rewards Program, which provides for an incentive to card holders in the form of reward points for certificates (Stein Mart SMart Cash). Through June 9, 2020, certificates were issued in $10 increments, which was equivalent to 1,000 points. Commencing on June 10, 2020, certificates are issued in $5 increments, which is equivalent to 500 points. Points are valued at the stand-alone selling price of the certificates issued. We defer a portion of our revenue for loyalty points earned by customers using the co-branded and private label cards and recognize the revenue as the certificates earned are used to purchase merchandise by our customers.
Certificates may not ultimately be redeemed either in full or partially. We account for this “breakage” of unused amounts as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer. Breakage revenue is recorded within other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, we recognized $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of breakage revenue on unused credit card reward certificates and points.
Stein Mart card holders also receive special promotional offers and advance notice of in-store sales events.
Multi-tender Loyalty Rewards
Beginning February 20, 2020, in certain regions, we now offer the multi-tender customer to participate in the Stein Mart Rewards Program, which also provides for an incentive to non Stein Mart card holders in the form of reward points for certificates. Certificates are issued in $5 increments, which is equivalent to 500 points. Points are valued at the stand-alone selling price of the certificates issued. We defer a portion of our revenue for multi-tender loyalty points earned by customers using tenders other than the co-branded and private label cards and recognize the revenue as the certificates earned are used to purchase merchandise by our customers.
Certificates may not ultimately be redeemed either in full or partially. We account for this “breakage” of unused amounts as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer. Breakage revenue is recorded within other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, there was no breakage revenue on unused multi-tender reward certificates and points due to the newness of the program.

Basic earnings (loss) per share under("EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by thetwo-class method. In applying thetwo-class method, income is allocated to both basic weighted-average number of common stock shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted EPS is calculated by considering the impact of potential common stock equivalents on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

The Promissory Notes are also considered current liabilities.
Revolving Credit Facility
On February 3, 2015, we entered into a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility pursuant to a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), with an original maturity of February 2020 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were initially used for a special dividend but are subsequently being used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. During 2017, debt issuance costs of $0.4 million were associated with the Revolving Credit Facility. Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement were being amortized over its respective term.
On February 19, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Credit Agreement Amendment provided for, among other things, an Accommodation Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment) during the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, respectively,which we were not includedrequired to meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share. Options excluded were those that had exercise prices greater thanCredit Agreement). This change permitted us to borrow the average market pricefull amount of the common shares suchthen applicable borrowing base until we delivered our financial statements for the Measurement Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) ended February 28, 2018. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Amendment, a Cash Dominion Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment) occurred as of the effective date of the Credit Agreement Amendment and at all times thereafter. Because of the Cash Dominion Event, all of our cash receipts were swept daily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement was classified as a short-term obligation. As noted below, the Third Credit Agreement Amendment removed the Cash Dominion Event effective September 18, 2018.
On March 14, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Second Credit Agreement Amendment provided for, among other things, the following: (1) the $25.0 million Tranche A-1 Revolving Loans (as defined in the Second Credit Agreement Amendment) were repaid in full with the proceeds of the Term Loan (as defined below); (2) the entry into the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below); and (3) certain other modifications and updates to coordinate the Revolving Credit Facility with the Term Loan.

On September 18, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Third Credit Agreement Amendment provided for, among other things, the following: (1) the increase of Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments (as defined in the Second Credit Agreement Amendment) from $225.0 million to $240.0 million; (2) an extension of the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to the earlier of (a) the maturity date of the Term Loan Agreement (as defined below) or (b) September 18, 2023; and (3) the elimination of Cash Dominion Event status and a change in Cash Dominion to be triggered only in the event of (a) the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default or (b) Excess Availability of less than (A) 10.0 percent of the loan cap at any time or (B) 12.5 percent of the loan cap for 3 consecutive business days. During 2018, debt issuance costs of less than $0.1 million were associated with the Third Credit Agreement Amendment and are being amortized over its term. Debt issuance costs of $0.1 million remaining under the initial Credit Agreement are being amortized over the new term of the Third Credit Agreement Amendment. The elimination of cash dominion status changed the debt classification from a short-term to long-term obligation at that inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For periodstime.
On February 26, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Fourth Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Fourth Credit Agreement Amendment provided for, among other things, a modification to the definition of net loss, basic“Capital Expenditures” and diluted EPS“Permitted Indebtedness” as defined in the Fourth Credit Agreement Amendment.
During the first quarter of 2020, due to the financial and operating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain Events of Default occurred that were subsequently waived on June 11, 2020, when we entered into Amendment No. 5 (the "Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment") to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment provides for, among other things, the waiver of certain Events of Default and the modification of certain provisions of the Credit Agreement subject to the conditions set forth in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment. The Events of Default, which include the presence of a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of and for the year ended February 1, 2020, are further defined under Specified Defaults in the same, asFifth Credit Agreement Amendment. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation" of the assumed conversion of stock options and performance awards are anti-dilutive.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued

for further discussion of our going concern evaluation. Due to the uncertainties concerning the Company's future liquidity and on-going covenant compliance as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, the amount outstanding under our Credit Facilities is classified as a current obligation in the consolidated balance sheet as of May 2, 2020.

Pursuant to the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, a Cash Dominion Event, as defined in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, occurred as of the effective date of such amendment through and including the first anniversary of the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, and at all times thereafter unless certain conditions are met, as further set forth in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment. As a result of the Cash Dominion Event, all of our cash receipts are swept daily to repay borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures in September 2023; however, as a result of the Cash Dominion Event, the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement is considered a short-term obligation as of the amendment date until the conditions to remedy the Cash Dominion Event have occurred, as defined, but not before the first anniversary of the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment. We manage our cash on a daily basis and borrow against the Credit Agreement based on our daily cash disbursement needs. As long as we remain within the terms of the Credit Agreement, the lenders are obligated to allow us to draw up to our borrowing availability.

The Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment revised the definition of Excess Availability to exclude past-due payables that are greater than sixty (60) days past due, and added a financial covenant requiring minimum Excess Availability equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of the Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) $10.0 million during the Accommodation Period, which is defined as the date of the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment through and including October 3, 2020 (the “Accommodation Period”), and thereafter requiring minimum Excess Availability equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) $20.0 million. Additionally, the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment added a definition for Liquidity (as defined in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment), which includes, in addition to Excess Availability (less required minimum Excess Availability), amounts available in Blocked Accounts (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and amounts available for borrowing under the Trust (as defined below) and further provided for our provision of a Budget (as defined in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment) to Wells Fargo. Additional Events of Default under the Credit Agreement include (i) certain material deviations from the Budget calculated on a rolling 4-week basis, (ii) certain material deviations from the Budget on a rolling basis, which can be less than 4 weeks if we have failed to maintain Liquidity of $12.5 million, and (iii) failure to maintain Liquidity of $7.5 million.
As a result of the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, LIBOR loans bear interest equal to the adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin (175 to 225 basis points) depending on the quarterly average excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Base Rate Loans bear interest equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 percent, (b) the adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00 percent, or (c) the Wells Fargo “prime rate,” plus the Applicable Margin (75 to 125 basis points). The Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment provides that during the Accommodation Period, the applicable margin will be 225 and 125 for LIBOR loans and Base Rate Loans, respectively.
The total amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement is the lesser of $240.0 million or 100 percent of eligible credit card receivables and the net recovery percentage of eligible inventories less reserves. On May 2, 2020, in addition to outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, we had $7.9 million of outstanding letters of credit and our Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was $22.4 million.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including the requirement of a 1.0 to 1.0 consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Covenant Compliance Event, as defined in the Credit Agreement), and events of default for facilities of this type and is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. Collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility consists of substantially all of our personal property. Wells Fargo has a first lien on all collateral other than equipment.
Subsequent to the expiration of the Accommodation Period as set forth in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, borrowings under the Credit Agreement are either base rate loans or London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans. LIBOR loans bear interest equal to the adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin (125 to 175 basis points) depending on the quarterly average excess availability. Base Rate Loans bear interest equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 percent, (b) the adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00 percent, or (c) the Wells Fargo “prime rate,” plus the Applicable Margin (25 to 75 basis points).
The weighted average interest rate for the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement was 2.41 percent as of May 2, 2020.

Term Loan
On March 14, 2018, we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement with Gordon Brothers Finance Company, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Term Loan Agent”), and Gordon Brothers Finance Company, LLC, as lender (the “Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Agreement provided for a term loan in the amount of $50.0 million (the “Term Loan”). Debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan were capitalized in the amount of $0.9 million and are being amortized over the term of the Term Loan. The net proceeds of $49.1 million from the Term Loan were used to permanently pay off the $25.0 million Tranche A-1 Revolving Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility. After utilizing proceeds from the Term Loan for repayment of amounts outstanding under the existing Tranche A-1 Revolving Loans, the Term Loan resulted in an increase in our Excess Availability of approximately $25.0 million under the Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan originally matured on the earlier of (1) the termination date specified in our Credit Agreement, as such date may be extended with the consent of the Term Loan Agent or in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement (defined below), and (2) March 14, 2020.
On September 18, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan with Gordon Brothers Finance Company. The Second Term Loan Amendment provided for, among other things, the following: (1) the reduction of the maximum amount of the Term Loan to $35.0 million; (2) an extension of the maturity date of the Term Loan Agreement to the earlier of (a) the termination date specified in the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in the Third Credit Agreement Amendment), and (b) September 18, 2023; (3) the reduction of the non-default interest rate applicable to the Term Loan under the Term Loan Agreement to a fluctuating rate of interest equal to three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 1.5%) plus 8.25% per annum; and (4) the elimination of Cash Dominion Event status and a change in Cash Dominion to be triggered only in the event of (a) the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default or (b) Excess Availability of less than (A) 10.0 percent of the Revolving Loan Cap at any time or (B) 12.5 percent of the Revolving Loan Cap for three consecutive Business Days. During 2018, debt issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million were associated with the Term Loan and are being amortized over its term. The elimination of cash dominion status changed the debt classification from a short-term to long-term obligation at that time.
On February 26, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement. The Third Term Loan Amendment provided for, among other things, a modification to the definition of “Capital Expenditures” and “Permitted Indebtedness” as defined in the Third Term Loan Amendment.
On June 11, 2020, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and Waiver (the "Fourth Term Loan Amendment") with Gordon Brothers Finance Company. The Fourth Term Loan Amendment provides for, among other things, the waiver of certain Events of Default and the modification of certain provisions of the Term Loan, subject to the conditions set forth in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment. The Events of Default, which include the presence of a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of and for the year ended February 1, 2020, are further defined under Specified Defaults in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our going concern evaluation. Due to the uncertainties concerning the Company's future liquidity and on-going covenant compliance as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, the amount outstanding under our Term Loan is classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of May 2, 2020.

The Fourth Term Loan Amendment revised the definition of Revolving Excess Availability to exclude past-due payables that are greater than sixty (60) days past due, and added a financial covenant requiring minimum Revolving Excess Availability equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of the Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) and (ii) $10.0 million during the Accommodation Period, which is defined as the date of the Fourth Term Loan Amendment through and including October 3, 2020 (the “Term Loan Accommodation Period”), and thereafter requiring minimum Revolving Excess Availability equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) and (ii) $20.0 million. Additionally, the Fourth Term Loan Amendment added a definition for Liquidity (as defined in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment), which includes, in addition to Revolving Excess Availability (less required minimum Revolving Excess Availability), amounts available in Blocked Accounts (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) and amounts available for borrowing under the Trust (as defined below) and further provided for our provision of a Budget (as defined in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment) to Gordon Brothers Finance Company. Additional Events of Default under the Credit Agreement include (i) certain material deviations from the Budget calculated on a rolling 4-week basis, (ii) certain material deviations from the Budget on a rolling basis, which can be less than 4 weeks if we have failed to maintain Liquidity of $12.5 million, and (iii) failure to maintain Liquidity of $7.5 million.
The Term Loan Agent and Wells Fargo have entered into an Intercreditor Agreement dated as of March 14, 2018 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), acknowledged by us under the Term Loan and the Credit Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement was also amended on September 18, 2018 to incorporate the amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Agreement, and subsequently amended on June 11, 2020 to incorporate the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility and Fourth Term Loan Amendment to the Term Loan Agreement.
The Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, which include the retention of the existing minimum 1.0 to 1.0 consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the Credit Agreement during periods where Revolving Excess Availability (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) is less than the greater of $20.0 million or 10.0 percent of Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) for 4 consecutive business days or during the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement).
The Term Loan is secured by a second lien security interest (subordinate only to the liens securing the Credit Agreement) on all assets securing the Credit Agreement (which consist of substantially all of our personal property), except furniture, fixtures and equipment and intellectual property, upon which the Term Loan lenders have a first lien security interest. If at any time prior to the first anniversary date of the Term Loan, the Revolving Excess Availability is less than $20.0 million, if requested by the Term Loan Agent, the Term Loan will also be secured by a first lien on leasehold interests in real property with an aggregate value of not less than $10.0 million, and the Credit Agreement will be secured by a second lien on such leasehold interests.
The Term Loan is subject to certain mandatory prepayments if an Event of Default (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) exists. If no such Event of Default exists, proceeds of the Term Loan priority collateral are to be applied to amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The weighted average interest rate for the amount outstanding under the Term Loan was 9.83 percent as of May 2, 2020.
Promissory Notes
We believe we can borrow, on a short-term basis and subject to the formal agreement of the lender, amounts up to 90 percent of the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies related to our executive deferred compensation plans to provide additional liquidity if needed. At May 2, 2020, the cash surrender value of our life insurance policies was approximately $11.1 million.

STEIN MART, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

On March 23, 2020, we borrowed $9.9 million on the cash surrender value of our life insurance policies, which represented the full amount available to be borrowed, at a rate of 3.56 percent per annum, which accrues daily on the average loan balance for the number of days the loan is outstanding prior to the date of repayment (the "Promissory Note"). The proceeds of the Promissory Note were used to pay down borrowings under the existing credit agreement, which provided additional availability under that agreement. The entire unpaid principal and accrued interest balance is due and payable on or before September 30, 2020.
On April 6, 2020, we executed a promissory note to borrow $1.0 million for our property insurance premiums through Bank Direct Capital Finance at a rate of 4.25 percent per annum. The entire unpaid principal and accrued interest balance is due and payable on or before February 1, 2021. Subsequent to quarter end, on July 9, 2020, we executed a promissory note to borrow $1.9 million for various insurance premiums through Bank Direct Capital Finance at a rate of 4.25 percent per annum. The entire unpaid principal and accrued interest balance is due and payable on or before March 1, 2021.
U.S. Small Business Administration Loan
Subsequent to quarter-end on June 23, 2020, we entered into an agreement to receive a U.S. Small Business Administration Loan (“SBA Loan”) from Harvest Small Business Finance, LLC related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the amount of $10.0 million, which we received on June 30, 2020. The SBA Loan has a fixed interest rate of 1.00 percent per annum and a maturity date five years from the date on which the Company applies for loan forgiveness under section 1106 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). Pursuant to the terms of the SBA Loan, the Company may apply for forgiveness of the amount due on the SBA Loan in an amount equal to the sum of the following costs incurred by the Company during the period commencing on the date of first disbursement of the Loan and ending upon the earlier of (i) 24 weeks after the date of the first disbursement of the Loan and (ii) December 31, 2020: payroll costs, payment on a covered rent obligation, and any covered utility payment. The amount of SBA Loan forgiveness shall be calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program, including the provisions of Section 1106 of the CARES Act, although no more than 40 percent of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs.
8. Leases
We lease all our retail store locations, support facilities and certain equipment under operating leases. Our store leases have varying terms and are generally for 10 years with options to extend the lease term for 2 or more 5-year periods. Annual store rent is generally comprised of a fixed minimum amount plus an insignificant contingent amount based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels. Most store leases also require additional payments covering real estate taxes, common area costs and insurance. Certain lease agreements contain rent holidays, and/or rent escalation clauses. Except for contingent rent, we recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rent, determined based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels, is recognized as rent expense when achievement of the specified sales that triggers the contingent rent is probable. Construction allowances and other such lease incentives are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement or modification date in determining the present value of lease payments.
In addition to the operating lease assets presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, assets under finance leases of $6.9 million are included in property and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 2, 2020. The remaining finance lease obligation is split between accrued expenses and other current liabilities for the short-term portion and other liabilities for the long-term portion on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As discussed in Note 1. "Basis of Presentation", the COVID-19 pandemic impacted us significantly, including causing us to close all of our stores starting in March 2020. We commenced reopening our stores on April 23, 2020, and by June 15, 2020, all of our stores had reopened. During the period of store closures, we were able to negotiate with many of our landlords to defer rent amounts due during the closure period to either a period of month(s) following the reopening of the stores, or in some cases, extending the period of the respective lease term by the amount of time that the stores were closed and paying rent for those future periods. In the case where the lease term was extended, we accounted for this as a lease modification under the current GAAP guidance. We elected the practical expedient to not evaluate whether a deferral of rent within the current term is a lease modification. The total rent that was deferred for lease amendments that have been executed through May 2, 2020 was $4.2 million.
Further, for certain of our stores, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact to the underlying asset values. Based on an impairment analysis performed during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, we recorded asset impairment charges in SG&A of $5.1 million to reduce the carrying value of certain operating lease assets to their respective estimated fair value.
Operating lease assets are considered Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy as the inputs for calculating the fair value of these assets are based on the best information available, including market rents for similar assets.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. During the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2017, we did not accrue for any actual or anticipated legal settlements. During the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2016, we accrued less than $0.1 million for actual and anticipated legal settlements. During the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 we did not accrue for any actual or anticipated legal settlements. During the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, we accrued $1.9 million for actual and anticipated legal settlements. While some of these matters could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition.

During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, respectively, we did not accrue for any actual or anticipated loss contingencies.
10. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and the impact of discrete items recorded during the quarter. The 14.1 percent effective tax rate for the quarter differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowance and changes in tax law related to the CARES Act. Our effective income tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of a variety of factors, including changes in our assessment of certain tax contingencies, valuation allowances, changes in tax law, outcomes of administrative audits, the impact of discrete items, and the mix of earnings. Our income tax benefit for 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, reflects $8.0 million in federal income tax receivables and a $2.9 million net federal income tax refund related to the CARES Act.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of COVID-19. The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during the first half of March, as federal, state and local governments reacted to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. In March 2020, we announced the temporary closure of all stores for an unknown period of time and significant actions taken to mitigate the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our cash flows to protect our business and associates for the long term in response to the crisis. Such actions include targeted reductions in discretionary operating expenses such as advertising and payroll expenses, including furloughing a significant number of our employees and temporarily reducing the payroll of remaining employees, reducing capital expenditures, reducing merchandise receipts, and utilizing funds available under our Revolving Credit Facility and Promissory Note. Further, we have sought and are seeking extended payment terms with all vendors, including merchandise, expense and rent vendors. We started reopening stores on April 23, 2020 as government jurisdictions have allowed, and as of June 15, 2020, we have reopened all of our stores with limited operating hours. We are unable to predict if additional periods of store closures will be needed or mandated.

Continued impacts of the pandemic have had a material adverse impact on our revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows, and may require significant additional actions in response, including, but not limited to, further employee furloughs, reduced store hours, store closings, expense reductions or discounting of pricing of our products, all in an effort to mitigate such impacts. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak within the U.S., the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. This situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
The significant risks and uncertainties related to the Company's liquidity described above raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and other commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of this uncertainty on the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities.

Table of October 29, 2016. We have intentionally operated with lower inventory levels during 2017, mainly by purchasing inventory closer to the time of sales and purchasing more merchandise during the selling season. We anticipate inventory levels will continue to be at a substantially lower level atyear-end as compared to the prioryear-end.

Loyalty Program
We evolved our customer loyalty program in October 2019 by combining our Credit Card and 39Preferred Customer programs into a single loyalty program called SMart Rewards. The enhanced program allows Stein Mart credit cardholders to earn 2 points for every $1 spent at Stein Mart, and Elite cardholders ($500 annual spend) earn 4 points for every $1 spent. All cardholders receive a $5 reward, called Stein Mart SMart Cash, for every 500 points earned.
We have both co-branded MasterCard and Private Label Credit Cards (together, “Stein Mart Credit Cards”) available for our customers based on credit approvals. All Stein Mart credit cardholders participate in our SMart Rewards loyalty program. While the primary purpose of offering our credit cards is to increase customer loyalty and drive sales, we also receive credit card revenue through our program agreement with our business partner, Synchrony Financial (“Synchrony”).
Our credit cards are issued by Synchrony in accordance with our Amended and Restated Co-Brand and Private Label Credit Card Consumer Program Agreement (the “Agreement”). Synchrony bears all credit risk associated with the cards and provides us certain direct financial benefits based on sales on the cards and other factors. On August 21, 2019, we entered into an amendment to our Agreement with Synchrony whereby Synchrony waived its rights to require us to post cash reserves to cure our failure to satisfy one or more of the quarterly financial covenants specified in the Agreement for periods through October 31, 2020 (the “Exemption Period”). As consideration for Synchrony’s entry into this amendment, we agreed to reduce the amount of fees paid to us by Synchrony under the Agreement from September 1, 2019 through the end of the Exemption Period.
Multi-tender Loyalty Rewards
Beginning February 20, 2020, in certain regions, we now offer the multi-tender customer to participate in the Stein Mart Rewards Program, which also provides for an incentive to non Stein Mart card holders in the form of reward points for certificates. Certificates are issued in $5 increments, which is equivalent to 500 points. Points are valued at the stand-alone selling price of the certificates issued. We defer a portion of our revenue for multi-tender loyalty points earned by customers using tenders other than the co-branded and private label cards and recognize the revenue as the certificates earned are used to purchase merchandise by our customers.

Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from or included in non-GAAP financial measures may be significant and should be considered in assessing our financial condition and performance. The methods we used to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.
Calculations of our comparable sales, including sales from licensed departments, are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that providing calculations of changes in comparable sales, both including and excluding sales from licensed departments, assists in evaluating our ability to generate sales growth, whether through owned businesses or departments licensed to third parties. The following table sets forth these calculations.

We license our shoe and vintage handbag departments to third parties and receive a commission from these third parties based on a percentage of their sales. In our financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP, we include commissions (rather than sales of the departments licensed to third parties) in our net sales. We do not include the commission amounts from licensed department sales in our comparable sales calculation.

The gross profit decreasesdecrease in other revenue for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2017, wereMay 2, 2020, is primarily the result of lower usage from our credit card program, which decreased royalty and bounty income, partially offset by higher breakage income and lower reward program costs.

The gross (loss) profit rate for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020 was impacted by increased markdowns and Omnichannel fulfillment costs and occupancy costs representing a higher percentage of reduced overall sales due to higher occupancy costs on lower sales volumes. The gross profit decreases for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017, were primarily due to higher markdowns taken to manage our inventories and furthered by higher occupancy cost that negatively leveraged on lower sales.

SG&A increases for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2017 wereMay 2, 2020 decreased $17.8 million compared to the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2019. The decrease is primarily the result of higher operating expenses from new stores, higher advertising expense to support our new campaign, increased consulting and severance expenses associated with our recently announced costdriven by store closures, staff furloughs, temporary salary reductions and hurricane-relatedadvertising cancellations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced store payroll by $13.1 million, store advertising by $8.2 million and corporate SG&A expenses whichby $3.5 million. These reductions were partially offset by insurance recoveries received during the period. We continue to work with our insurers on our claimsasset impairment charges of $10.3 million and will recover additional amounts for our losses relatedhigher Omnichannel SG&A expenses.
As discussed in Note 1. "Basis of Presentation" to the hurricanes, which are primarily related to damaged inventory. Those recoveries will be recorded when they are received. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, (Unaudited) for further discussionthe COVID-19 pandemic impacted us significantly, including causing us to close all of the effectsour stores starting in March 2020. We commenced reopening our stores on April 23, 2020, and by June 15, 2020, all of hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The SG&A increase for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017, is primarily the result of higher operating expenses from newour stores that were mostly offset by operating savings and lower expense for legal settlements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital requirements and working capital needs are funded through a combination of internally generated funds, available cash, credit terms from vendors, and our $250$240.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility pursuant to a second amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank and our $35.0 million Term Loan (as discussed below).
Revolving Credit Facility
On February 3, 2015, we entered into a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility pursuant to a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). We also have a secured $25 million master loan agreement with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc.Bank (“Wells Fargo”), with an original maturity of February 2020 (the “Equipment Term Loan”“Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were initially used for a special dividend but are subsequently being used for working capital, capital expenditures and togetherother general corporate purposes. During 2017, debt issuance costs of $0.4 million were associated with the Revolving Credit Facility. Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement were being amortized over its respective term.
On February 19, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the “Credit Facilities”Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Credit Agreement Amendment provided for, among other things, an Accommodation Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment) during which we were not required to meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). This change permitted us to borrow the full amount of the then applicable borrowing base until we delivered our financial statements for the Measurement Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) ended February 28, 2018. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Amendment, a Cash Dominion Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment) occurred as of the effective date of the Credit Agreement Amendment and at all times thereafter. Because of the Cash Dominion Event, all of our cash receipts were swept daily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement was classified as a short-term obligation. As noted below, the Third Credit Agreement Amendment removed the Cash Dominion Event effective September 18, 2018.
On March 14, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Second Credit Agreement Amendment provided for, among other things, the following: (1) the $25.0 million Tranche A-1 Revolving Loans (as defined in the Second Credit Agreement Amendment) were repaid in full with the proceeds of the Term Loan (as defined below); (2) the entry into the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below); and (3) certain other modifications and updates to coordinate the Revolving Credit Facility with the Term Loan.

Table of Contents
On September 18, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Third Credit Agreement Amendment provided for, among other things, the following: (1) the increase of Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments (as defined in the Second Credit Agreement Amendment) from $225.0 million to $240.0 million; (2) an extension of the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to the earlier of (a) the maturity date of the Term Loan Agreement (as defined below) or (b) September 18, 2023; and (3) the elimination of Cash Dominion Event status and a change in Cash Dominion to be triggered only in the event of (a) the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default or (b) Excess Availability of less than (A) 10.0 percent of the loan cap at any time or (B) 12.5 percent of the loan cap for three consecutive business days. During 2018, debt issuance costs of less than $0.1 million were associated with the Third Credit Agreement Amendment and are being amortized over its term. Debt issuance costs of $0.1 million remaining under the initial Credit Agreement are being amortized over the new term of the Third Credit Agreement Amendment. The elimination of cash dominion status changed the debt classification from a short-term to long-term obligation at that time.
On February 26, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Fourth Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Fourth Credit Agreement Amendment provided for, among other things, a modification to the definition of “Capital Expenditures” and “Permitted Indebtedness” as defined in the Fourth Credit Agreement Amendment.
During the first quarter of 2020, due to the financial and operating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain Events of Default occurred that were subsequently waived on June 11, 2020, when we entered into Amendment No. 5 (the "Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment") to the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment provides for, among other things, the waiver of certain Events of Default and the modification of certain provisions of the Credit Agreement subject to the conditions set forth in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment. The Events of Default, which include the presence of a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of and for the year ended February 1, 2020, are further defined under Specified Defaults in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our going concern evaluation. Due to the uncertainties concerning the Company's future liquidity and on-going covenant compliance as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, the amount outstanding under our Credit Facilities is classified as a current obligation in the consolidated balance sheet as of May 2, 2020.
Pursuant to the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, a Cash Dominion Event, as defined in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, occurred as of the effective date of such amendment through and including the first anniversary of the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, and at all times thereafter unless certain conditions are met, as further set forth in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment. As a result of the Cash Dominion Event, all of our cash receipts are swept daily to repay borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures in September 2023; however, as a result of the Cash Dominion Event, the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement is considered a short-term obligation as of the amendment date until the conditions to remedy the Cash Dominion Event have occurred, as defined, but not before the first anniversary of the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment. We manage our cash on a daily basis and borrow against the Credit Agreement based on our daily cash disbursement needs. As long as we remain within the terms of the Credit Agreement, the lenders are obligated to allow us to draw up to our borrowing availability.

The Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment revised the definition of Excess Availability to exclude past-due payables that are greater than sixty (60) days past due, and added a financial covenant requiring minimum Excess Availability equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of the Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) $10.0 million during the Accommodation Period, which is defined as the date of the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment through and including October 3, 2020 (the “Accommodation Period”), and thereafter requiring minimum Excess Availability equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) $20.0 million. Additionally, the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment added a definition for Liquidity (as defined in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment), which includes, in addition to Excess Availability (less required minimum Excess Availability), amounts available in Blocked Accounts (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and amounts available for borrowing under the Trust (as defined below) and further provided for our provision of a Budget (as defined in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment) to Wells Fargo. Additional Events of Default under the Credit Agreement include (i) certain material deviations from the Budget calculated on a rolling 4-week basis, (ii) certain material deviations from the Budget on a rolling basis, which can be less than 4 weeks if we have failed to maintain Liquidity of $12.5 million, and (iii) failure to maintain Liquidity of $7.5 million.
As a result of the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, LIBOR loans bear interest equal to the adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin (175 to 225 basis points) depending on the quarterly average excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Base Rate Loans bear interest equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 percent, (b) the adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00 percent, or (c) the Wells Fargo “prime rate,” plus the Applicable Margin (75 to 125 basis points). The Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment provides that during the Accommodation Period, the applicable margin will be 225 and 125 for LIBOR loans and Base Rate Loans, respectively.
As a prerequisite to obtaining the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, we are required to pay $2.5 million, pursuant to a payment plan, for outstanding accounts payable factored by Wells Fargo Trade Capital Services.
The Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment also added or amended certain definitions and terms including the LIBO Replacement and Benchmark Transition Event, Accelerated Borrowing Base Weekly Delivery Event, Early Termination Fee, and certain financial covenants, all of which are defined in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment.
The total amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement is the lesser of $240.0 million or 100 percent of eligible credit card receivables and the net recovery percentage of eligible inventories less reserves. On May 2, 2020, in addition to outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, we had $7.9 million of outstanding letters of credit and our Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was $22.4 million.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including the requirement of a 1.0 to 1.0 consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Covenant Compliance Event, as defined in the Credit Agreement), and events of default for facilities of this type and is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. Collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility consists of substantially all of our personal property. Wells Fargo has a first lien on all collateral other than equipment.
Subsequent to the expiration of the Accommodation Period as set forth in the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment, borrowings under the Credit Agreement are either base rate loans or London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans. LIBOR loans bear interest equal to the adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin (125 to 175 basis points) depending on the quarterly average excess availability. Base Rate Loans bear interest equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 percent, (b) the adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00 percent, or (c) the Wells Fargo “prime rate,” plus the Applicable Margin (25 to 75 basis points).
The weighted average interest rate for the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement was 2.41 percent as of May 2, 2020.

Term Loan
On March 14, 2018, we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement with Gordon Brothers Finance Company, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Term Loan Agent”), and Gordon Brothers Finance Company, LLC, as lender (the “Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Agreement provided for a term loan in the amount of $50.0 million (the “Term Loan”). Debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan were capitalized in the amount of $0.9 million and are being amortized over the term of the Term Loan. The net proceeds of $49.1 million from the Term Loan were used to permanently pay off the $25.0 million Tranche A-1 Revolving Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility. After utilizing proceeds from the Term Loan for repayment of amounts outstanding under the existing Tranche A-1 Revolving Loans, the Term Loan resulted in an increase in our Excess Availability of approximately $25.0 million under the Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan originally matured on the earlier of (1) the termination date specified in our Credit Agreement, as such date may be extended with the consent of the Term Loan Agent or in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement (defined below), and (2) March 14, 2020.
On September 18, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan with Gordon Brothers Finance Company. The Second Term Loan Amendment provided for, among other things, the following: (1) the reduction of the maximum amount of the Term Loan to $35.0 million; (2) an extension of the maturity date of the Term Loan Agreement to the earlier of (a) the termination date specified in the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in the Third Credit Agreement Amendment), and (b) September 18, 2023; (3) the reduction of the non-default interest rate applicable to the Term Loan under the Term Loan Agreement to a fluctuating rate of interest equal to three-month LIBOR (with a floor of 1.5%) plus 8.25% per annum; and (4) the elimination of Cash Dominion Event status and a change in Cash Dominion to be triggered only in the event of (a) the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default or (b) Excess Availability of less than (A) 10.0 percent of the Revolving Loan Cap at any time or (B) 12.5 percent of the Revolving Loan Cap for three consecutive Business Days. During 2018, debt issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million were associated with the Term Loan and are being amortized over its term. The elimination of cash dominion status changed the debt classification from a short-term to long-term obligation at that time.
On February 26, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement. The Third Term Loan Amendment provided for, among other things, a modification to the definition of “Capital Expenditures” and “Permitted Indebtedness” as defined in the Third Term Loan Amendment.
On June 11, 2020, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and Waiver (the "Fourth Term Loan Amendment") with Gordon Brothers Finance Company. The Fourth Term Loan Amendment provides for, among other things, the waiver of certain Events of Default and the modification of certain provisions of the Term Loan, subject to the conditions set forth in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment. The Events of Default, which include the presence of a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of and for the year ended February 1, 2020, are further defined under Specified Defaults in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our going concern evaluation. Due to the uncertainties concerning the Company's future liquidity and on-going covenant compliance as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, the amount outstanding under our Term Loan is classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of May 2, 2020.

The Fourth Term Loan Amendment revised the definition of Revolving Excess Availability to exclude past-due payables that are greater than sixty (60) days past due, and added a financial covenant requiring minimum Revolving Excess Availability equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of the Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) and (ii) $10.0 million during the Accommodation Period, which is defined as the date of the Fourth Term Loan Amendment through and including October 3, 2020 (the “Term Loan Accommodation Period”), and thereafter requiring minimum Revolving Excess Availability equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) and (ii) $20.0 million. Additionally, the Fourth Term Loan Amendment added a definition for Liquidity (as defined in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment), which includes, in addition to Revolving Excess Availability (less required minimum Revolving Excess Availability), amounts available in Blocked Accounts (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) and amounts available for borrowing under the Trust (as defined below) and further provided for our provision of a Budget (as defined in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment) to Gordon Brothers Finance Company. Additional Events of Default under the Credit Agreement include (i) certain material deviations from the Budget calculated on a rolling 4-week basis, (ii) certain material deviations from the Budget on a rolling basis, which can be less than 4 weeks if we have failed to maintain Liquidity of $12.5 million, and (iii) failure to maintain Liquidity of $7.5 million.
The Fourth Term Loan Amendment also added or amended certain definitions and terms including Accelerated Borrowing Base Weekly Delivery Event, and certain financial covenants, all of which are defined in the Fourth Term Loan Amendment. Additionally, our obligation to pay the Term Loan Prepayment Fee (as defined in the Term Loan) in the event the Term Loan is prepaid was extended to the third anniversary of the Fourth Term Loan Amendment.
The Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, which include the retention of the existing minimum 1.0 to 1.0 consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the Credit Agreement during periods where Revolving Excess Availability (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) is less than the greater of $20.0 million or 10.0 percent of Combined Loan Cap (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) for four consecutive business days or during the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement).
The Term Loan is secured by a second lien security interest (subordinate only to the liens securing the Credit Agreement) on all assets securing the Credit Agreement (which consist of substantially all of our personal property), except furniture, fixtures and equipment and intellectual property, upon which the Term Loan lenders have a first lien security interest. If at any time prior to the first anniversary date of the Term Loan, the Revolving Excess Availability is less than $20.0 million, if requested by the Term Loan Agent, the Term Loan will also be secured by a first lien on leasehold interests in real property with an aggregate value of not less than $10.0 million, and the Credit Agreement will be secured by a second lien on such leasehold interests.
The Term Loan is subject to certain mandatory prepayments if an Event of Default (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) exists. If no such Event of Default exists, proceeds of the Term Loan priority collateral are to be applied to amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan Agent and Wells Fargo have entered into an Intercreditor Agreement dated as of March 14, 2018 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), acknowledged by us under the Term Loan and the Credit Agreement. The Intercreditor Agreement was also amended on September 18, 2018 to incorporate the amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Agreement, and subsequently amended on June 11, 2020 to incorporate the Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility and Fourth Term Loan Amendment to the Term Loan Agreement.
The weighted average interest rate for the amount outstanding under the Term Loan was 9.83 percent as of May 2, 2020.

Promissory Notes
We believe we can borrow, on a short-term basis and subject to the formal agreement of the lender, amounts up to 90 percent of the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies related to our executive deferred compensation plans to provide additional liquidity if needed. At May 2, 2020, the cash surrender value of our life insurance policies was approximately $11.1 million.
On March 23, 2020, we borrowed $9.9 million on the cash surrender value of our life insurance policies, which represented the full amount available to be borrowed, at a rate of 3.56 percent per annum, which accrues daily on the average loan balance for the number of days the loan is outstanding prior to the date of repayment (the "Promissory Note"). The proceeds of the Promissory Note were used to pay down borrowings under the existing credit agreement, which provided additional availability under that agreement. The entire unpaid principal and accrued interest balance is due and payable on or before September 30, 2020.
On April 6, 2020, we executed a promissory note to borrow $1.0 million for our property insurance premiums through Bank Direct Capital Finance at a rate of 4.25 percent per annum. The entire unpaid principal and accrued interest balance is due and payable on or before February 1, 2021. Subsequent to quarter end, on July 9, 2020, we executed a promissory note to borrow $1.9 million for various insurance premiums through Bank Direct Capital Finance at a rate of 4.25 percent per annum. The entire unpaid principal and accrued interest balance is due and payable on or before March 1, 2021.
U.S. Small Business Administration Loan
Subsequent to quarter-end on June 23, 2020, we entered into an agreement to receive a U.S. Small Business Administration Loan (“SBA Loan”) from Harvest Small Business Finance, LLC related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the amount of $10.0 million, which we received on June 30, 2020. The SBA Loan has a fixed interest rate of 1.00 percent per annum and a maturity date five years from the date on which the Company applies for loan forgiveness under section 1106 of the CARES Act. Pursuant to the terms of the SBA Loan, the Company may apply for forgiveness of the amount due on the SBA Loan in an amount equal to the sum of the following costs incurred by the Company during the period commencing on the date of first disbursement of the Loan and ending upon the earlier of (i) 24 weeks after the date of the first disbursement of the Loan and (ii) December 31, 2020: payroll costs, payment on a covered rent obligation, and any covered utility payment. The amount of SBA Loan forgiveness shall be calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program, including the provisions of Section 1106 of the CARES Act, although no more than 40 percent of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs.
Cash flows and availability
Cash flows from operations are driven by sales as well as the credit terms available to us from our vendors and their factors. Our sales generate cash almost immediately and are affected by customer traffic to our stores and the desirability of our merchandise to those customers. Customer traffic is in turn affected by our marketing and advertising, general economic and business conditions, weather, and most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in these factors could have a material effect on our ability to generate sales and thus cash inflows to operate our business, and prolonged or additional store closures could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months.

Table of Contents
In March 2020, we announced the temporary closure of all stores for an unknown period of time and significant actions taken to mitigate the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our cash flows to protect our business and associates for the long term in response to the crisis. Such actions include targeted reductions in discretionary operating expenses such as advertising and payroll expenses, including furloughing a significant number of our employees and temporarily reducing the payroll of remaining employees, suspensions and/or deferrals of payments due to landlords and vendors, reducing capital expenditures, reducing merchandise receipts and utilizing funds available under our Revolving Credit Facility and Promissory Note. Further, we have sought and are seeking extended payment terms with all vendors, including merchandise, expense and rent vendors.All stores are now open but we are unable to predict if additional periods of store closures will be needed or mandated. Further, we are unable to predict when consumer spending patterns will normalize. Continued impacts of the pandemic could materially adversely affect our near-term and long-term revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows, ability to secure suitable merchandise and may require significant actions in response, including but not limited to, further employee furloughs, reduced store hours, store closings, expense reductions or discounting of pricing of our products, all in an effort to mitigate such impacts. The outcome of the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and is dependent upon factors that are outside of the Company's control, including actions of federal and local governments and consumer behavior. There is no assurance that additional credit or liquidity will be available to us.
The significant risks and uncertainties related to the Company's liquidity described above raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and other commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of this uncertainty on the recoverability or classification of recorded assets amounts or the amounts or classifications of liabilities.
Our working capital fluctuates with seasonal variations, which affect our borrowings and availability. Our availability is generally highest just after our strong seasonal spring and holiday selling seasons and is lowest just before those seasons as we build inventory levels. Working capital is also used to support store inventories and capital investments for maintenance of our existing stores, system improvements fundand new store openings, maintain existing stores, make debt service payments and repurchase shares ofopenings. We have reduced our common stock. Historically, ourcapital investments in working capital are lowest in August and September, after our heavy spring selling season, and in February, after the holiday selling season. Investments in working capital are highest in April, October and November as we begin procuring and paying for merchandise to support our heavy spring and

holiday seasons. We believe thatenhance our cash flows from operationsflows. These reduced levels of investment can be sustained for the foreseeable future as prior to this our store base and our available cashsystems have been well maintained. Positive operating results and cash equivalents are sufficientflows will help us preserve satisfactory credit terms and allow us to coveroperate within the borrowing availability under our liquidity requirements over the next 12 months.

On May 17, 2017, we announced we suspended our quarterly cash dividendCredit Agreement and significantly reduced our planned capital expenditures (see below under “Cash Flows”). Planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2017 are approximately $20.4 million, or $17.6 million net of tenant improvement allowances. Capital expenditures were $42.4 million, or $36.1 million net of tenant improvement allowances, in fiscal 2016.

Term Loan Agreement.

As of October 28, 2017,May 2, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.2$2.2 million and $150.8$152.0 million in borrowings under our Credit Facilities.Agreement, $35.0 million in borrowings under the Term Loan and $10.8 million in borrowings from promissory notes, for a total of $197.8 million in outstanding borrowings. As of February 1, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.5 million and $107.1 million in borrowings under our Credit Agreement and $35.0 million in borrowings under the Term Loan, for a total of $141.4 million in outstanding borrowings, which is net of $0.7 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. As of May 4, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.9 million and $118.8 million in borrowings under our Credit Agreement and $35.0 million in borrowings under the Term Loan, for a total of $153.0 million in outstanding borrowings, net of $0.8 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The total amount available for borrowings and letters of credit under our Credit Agreement is the lesser of $250$240.0 million or 100%100 percent of eligible credit card receivables and the net recovery percentage value of inventories less reserves. At October 28, 2017,On May 2, 2020, in addition to outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and Term Loan, we had $7.9 million of outstanding letters of credit. Our Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was $94.6$22.4 million at October 28, 2017. We currently do not meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in the Credit Agreement, as a result, our ability to borrow $25.0 millionon May 2, 2020.

Table of this Excess Availability is subject to significant restrictions.

Our business is dependent upon the ability to purchase merchandise at competitive terms through relationships with our vendors and their factors. A significant change in vendor and factor support could limit our ability to acquire desired merchandise at competitive prices or terms in the future. Additionally, if we experience declining operating performance or liquidity challenges, vendors and their factors may seek protection againstnon-payment, such as accelerated payment terms. This could have an adverse effect on our operating cash flow and liquidity.

The decreaseMay 4, 2019. Cash used in cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to a Net loss duringfor the 3913 weeks ended October 28, 2017 comparedMay 2, 2020 was driven by a net loss of $65.7 million, adjusted for $10.3 million in asset impairments, and a $19.7 million reduction in accrued expenses as a result of temporary store closures related to the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016. Also contributing to the decrease was aone-time cash inflow during the 2016 period relating to the Synchrony Financial signing bonus we received with the new agreement entered into in February of 2016 forco-branded and private label credit cards. This is partially offset by lower planned inventory levels, which also results in lower payables to vendors, and an inflow for Income taxes received, net.

Seasonality and Inflation

Our business is seasonal. Sales and profitability are historicallytypically higher in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, which include the spring and holiday seasons. Therefore, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year.

Although we expect that our operationsincome will be influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that our business will not be affected materially by inflation in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. BasedDisclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As a result of the material weakness in Management’s Report on this evaluation,Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as discussed below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 2, 2020.
(b) 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 the endExchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed 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.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the period covered by this report due toCompany’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management assessed the material weakness identified ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting described below.

As previously disclosedas of May 2, 2020, using the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, management identified the material weakness noted below and concluded that our 2016 Annual Report on Form10-K/A,internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of May 2, 2020.

Material Weakness
During the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 1, 2020, we identified a material weakness in the design and effectivenessinternal control over financial reporting related to ineffective information technology general controls in the operationarea of our controlslogical access and change management over certain information technology (IT) systems that are intended to ensure thatsupport the data contained in a report used by management to review thelower-of-cost-or-market adjustment for our aged inventoryCompany’s financial reporting processes. We believe this control deficiency was complete and accurate. As a result of thisinappropriate use of privileged access, insufficient knowledge and training of certain individuals with IT expertise, and risk-assessment processes inadequate to identify and assess changes in IT environments that could impact internal control over financial reporting.
The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to the financial statements, and there were no changes to previously issued financial results. However, the material weakness creates a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement in inventory in our annual or interimto the consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have taken steps

(c) Management’s Plans for Remediation of our Material Weakness
Management is designing and implementing controls, with oversight from the Audit Committee, to remediate thisthe material weakness, including implementing new policiesweakness. Management’s remediation actions include, but are not limited to, the following: change management training for all IT personnel, monitoring activity of privileged accounts, and procedures to enhanceenhancing our risk assessment process to effectively design and implement control activities that verify the completeness and accuracy of datarelated to user access in reportskey systems that support management review controls. We have alsore-performed procedures over our key reports, including retestingfinancial reporting.
(d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the completeness and accuracy of these key reports.

We believe that these remediation measures have strengthened our internal control over financial reporting. As we are still assessing the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures, the identified material weakness has not been fully remediated as of October 28, 2017. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness ofchanges in our internal control over financial reporting and confirm thatrelated to the material weakness has been remediated through our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending February 3, 2018.

In September 2015, we settled an administrative proceeding instituted by the SEC in which the SEC ordered us to cease and desist from committing, or causing, any violations and any future violations of the periodic reporting, books and records, and internal control provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The existence of the above-referenced material weakness, and the failure to discover and disclose such material weakness in periodic reports filed prior to the Annual Report on Form10-K/A for the year ended January 28, 2017, means that we have not been in compliance with the cease and desist order.

We assessed the effect of the material weakness on these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to ensure they were prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly the consolidated financial position, financial results of operation and cash flows as of and for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017. Based on these additional procedures and assessment, we concluded that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Except as describeddiscussed under (b) above, in regards to the remediation process, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INFORMATION.
Subsequent to the disclosure of our first quarter earnings release on June 30, 2020 and prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we finalized our preliminary long-lived assets impairment analysis included therein. This resulted in a $4.3 million reclassification of the measured impairment from property and equipment to operating lease assets, which increased the net property and equipment balance with a corresponding decrease to our operating lease assets. There was no impact to our statement of operations, shareholders' equity, cash flows, or the adjusted EBITDA included therein. These adjustments are reflected in the financial results included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
