SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. (Continued) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessee. For public business entities, the new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This Update is being issued as part of the Simplification Initiative. The areas of simplification in this Update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some areas only apply to non-public entities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fiscal Year Brylxxx'x xiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31 and consists of 52 or 53 weeks. Brylxxx'x xiscal years ended February 1, 1997 and January 31, 1998 consisted of 52 weeks, and the fiscal year ended February 3, 1996 consisted of 53 weeks. The fiscal year is designated in the notes to the financial statements by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. Cash Equivalents Brylxxx xxxsiders amounts on deposit with financial institutions and money market investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable Brylxxx xxxls eligible accounts receivable generated through Chadxxxx'x xxxerred billing programs to ADS (ContinuedSee note (14) "Related Party Transactions"). All sales are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" which was effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996. Costs associated with these transactions are included in V-11 98 BRYLANE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) operations. Deferred billing accounts receivable balances are net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.0 million and $1.5 million at February 1, 1997 and January 31, 1998, respectively. Inventories Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, principally valued on the average cost basis under a standard costing system or using the retail method of accounting, except for inventories attributable to the initial investment in KingSize and Chadxxxx'x xxxch were recorded at estimated fair value (unallocated costs). A non-recurring inventory charge representing the estimated fair value in excess of its original historical cost, as of the date of the KingSize Acquisition, was fully amortized in fiscal 1995 ($.6 million). A non-recurring inventory charge representing the estimated fair value, as of the date of the Chadxxxx'x Xxxuisition, of inventory in excess of its original historical cost was amortized partly during fiscal year 1996 ($1.7 million) with the remainder being amortized during fiscal year 1997 ($3.3 million). Catalog Costs Catalog costs primarily consist of catalog production and mailing costs that have not yet been fully amortized. Catalog costs are amortized over the expected revenue stream, which is approximately three months from the date catalogs are mailed as determined based on management's estimates. Property and Equipment Additions to property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are computed for financial reporting purposes on a straight-line basis, using service lives ranging principally from 10-30 years for buildings and improvements, the lesser of 10 years or the life of the lease for leasehold improvements and 3-10 years for other property and equipment. The cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, with any resulting gain or loss included in net income. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; renewals and betterments which extend service lives are capitalized. The Company's policy is to expense as incurred internally developed software costs. Organization and Deferred Financing Costs Organization costs of $.3 million relate to the formation of Brylane and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships. Such costs are amortized over five years using the straight-line method. Original deferred financing costs of $11.8 million incurred in connection with the Brylane Acquisition were capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. In connection with the repayment of the 1993 Bank Credit Facility in December 1996, a pro rata portion of the deferred financing fees of $2.5 million associated with the obligations to be repaid were written off as a charge to operations. The remaining balance continues to be amortized over the remaining life of the related obligations. Deferred financing costs of $7.0 million incurred in connection with the 1996 Bank Credit Facility were capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. In connection with the repayment of the 1996 Bank Credit Facility in April 1997, deferred financing fees of $4.1 million (net of related taxes) were written off as a charge to operations. Deferred financing costs of $1.2 million incurred in connection with the amended 1997 bank credit facility ("Amended 1997 Bank Credit Facility") were capitalized and are amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. Accumulated amortization of organization and deferred financing costs at February 1, 1997 and January 31, 1998 were $5.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Intangible Assets Intangible assets associated with the Brylane Acquisition include trademarks of $8.8 million, customer lists of $2.2 million and goodwill of $114.5 million. Subsequent to October 4, 1997 in connection with the repurchase of common stock, the amortization of the remaining trademark agreement of $7.6 million was accelerated to a ten-year period in accordance with the provisions of the trademark agreement. Such intangibles are amortized over a 30-year composite life using the straight-line method. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets was $14.6 million, and $18.9 million at February 1, 1997, and January 31, 1998, respectively. Intangible assets associated with the KingSize Acquisition include customer lists of $.5 million, a noncompetition agreement of $.3 million, and goodwill of $50.8 million. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over a life of eight years for the customer lists, five years for the noncompetition agreement, and 40 years for goodwill. Accumulated amortization was $1.9 million and $3.3 million, at February 1, 1997, and January 31, 1998, respectively. V-12 99 BRYLANE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Intangible assets associated with the Chadxxxx'x Xxxuisition include customer lists of $4.0 million and goodwill of $175.7 million. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over a life of five years for the customer lists and 40 years for goodwill. Accumulated amortization was $.9 million and $6.1 million at February 1, 1997 and January 31, 1998, respectively. Brylxxx'x xolicy is to periodically review the value assigned to goodwill to determine if it has been permanently impaired by adverse conditions which might affect Brylane. Such reviews include an analysis of current results and take into consideration the discounted value of projected operating cash flow (earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization). Income Taxes Under the partnership form of doing business, the tax effects of profits and losses of the Partnership were incurred by the partners. Brylxxx xxxe cash advances and annual distributions to partners in amounts sufficient for the partners to pay income taxes on their ratable share of taxable income. As a result, the provision for income taxes for the years ended February 3, 1996 and February 1, 1997 represents federal, state and local income taxes relating only to taxable income of the C-corporations included in the consolidated financial statements of Brylane, L.P. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering on February 26, 1997, the tax status of the consolidated entity, Brylane Inc., was changed to that of a C-corporation. Brylane Inc. follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109) which requires the Company to establish a deferred tax liability or asset for the future tax effects of temporary differences between book and taxable income. Changes in future tax rates will result in immediate adjustments to deferred taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Revenue Recognition Sales are recorded at the time of shipment. Brylane provides a reserve for estimated merchandise returns, based on its prior customer returns experience. Net Income Per Share In February 20161997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share ("EPS") with basic EPS and replaces fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS. Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period and diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during each period. The Company's common share equivalents consist of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, the conversion of preferred shares into common shares and the conversion of a convertible note into shares of common stock. Application of this standard resulted in a decrease in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic EPS due to the exclusion of the common stock equivalents identified above. The statement is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997, with earlier application not permitted. All periods presented reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. (See note (10) "Earnings Per Share"). Supplemental Net Income and Earnings per Share Supplemental net income of Brylane Inc. represents the results of operations adjusted to reflect a provision for income tax on historical income before income taxes, which gives effect to the change in the consolidated entities tax status to a C-corporation subsequent to the public sale of its Common Stock. The difference between the pro forma income tax rates utilized and the federal statutory rate of 35% relates primarily to state income taxes, net of federal tax benefit. Supplemental earnings per share of Brylane Inc. represents supplemental net income divided by the weighted average partnership units outstanding prior to the Initial Public Offering and the weighted average common stock and equivalent units outstanding thereafter. In accordance with Securities and Exchange commission rules, options granted in the one year prior to the filing of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering are included as outstanding for all periods presented using the treasury stock method assuming the offering price of $24 per share. V-13 100 BRYLANE INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Stock Option Plan In October 1995, the FASB issued ASU 2016SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Awards of Stock-02Based Compensation to Employees", Leases. From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. This condensed interim financial information is presented in Rials Omani (ContinuedRO) since that is the currency in which majority of the Company’s transactions are denominated and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RO’000) except when otherwise stated. Basis of preparation and statement of compliance The interim condensed interim financial information of the Company is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed interim financial information are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. The condensed interim financial information do not contain all information and disclosures required for full financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2018. In February 2016addition, results for the FASB six months period ended 30 June 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2019. This is the first set of the Company’s financial information where IFRS 16 has been applied. Changes to significant accounting policies are described in Note 3. The Company has adopted IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ as issued ASU 2016by the IASB in January 2016 and effective for the period beginning on 1 January 2019, which resulted in a change in accounting policy. The Company did not adopt early, any requirement of IFRS 16 in the previous period. Except IFRS 16, below accounting policies applied in this interim financial information are same as those applied in the Company’s financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018. The changes in the accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019. IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-02balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-to-use (ROU) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are optional exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases. IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. From The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Company has adopted IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019 and as a result the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes Company has recorded a lease asset (right-of-use assets) of RO 195,919 and lease obligation of RO 195,919 as on 01 Jan 2019. The land which the plant occupies has been leased from the Government of the Sultanate of Oman (ROUrepresented by the Ministry of Housing) model for a period of 25 years from 11 February 2013. The lease term can be extended by an additional 25 years at the request of the Company. Lease rental is paid at the rate of RO 15,045 per annum. The land lease becomes an on-balance sheet liability that requires a lessee to record ROU attracts interest, together with new asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessee. For public business entities, the new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning other side of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.
