2. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company reviews goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually during the first quarter of its fiscal year or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The annual review of goodwill and assets with indefinite lives during the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 did not result in any impairment charges.

The weighted-average amortization period as of July 31, 2010 was 11.8 years. Amortization expense was $4 million and $5 million for the thirteen-week periods ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, respectively.  Amortization expense was $9 million and $10 million for the twenty-six week periods ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for finite life intangible assets is expected to approximate $9 million for the remainder of 2010, $15 million for 2011, $13 million for 2012, $9 million for 2013, and $3 million for 2014. The change in the net value of the intangible assets for the twenty-six week period ended July 31, 2010 reflects amortization of $9 million and the effect of the weakening euro as compared with the U.S. dollar of $3 million, partially offset by additions of $2 million.

Financial Instruments
3. Financial Instruments

     The Company operates internationally and utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to mitigate its foreign currency exposures, primarily related to third party and intercompany forecasted transactions.  As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company has a policy of entering into contracts only with major financial institutions selected based upon their credit ratings and other financial factors. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of counterparties throughout the duration of the derivative instrument.  Additional information is contained within Note 9, Fair Value Measurements.

Derivative Holdings Designated as Hedges

     For derivatives to qualify as hedges at inception and throughout the hedged periods, the Company formally documents the nature of the hedged items and the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the methods of assessing hedge effectiveness and hedge ineffectiveness. In addition, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of the forecasted transactions must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction will occur. If it were deemed probable that a forecasted transaction would not occur, the hedge gain or loss would be recognized in earnings immediately. No such gains or losses were recognized in earnings for any of the periods presented. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period, which management evaluates periodically.

Cash Flow Hedges
      The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. For option and forward foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory, the effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and is recognized as a component of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. The amount reclassified to cost of sales related to such contracts was not significant for any of the periods presented. The ineffective portion of gains and losses related to cash flow hedges recorded to earnings was also not significant for any of the periods presented. When using a forward contract as a hedging instrument, the Company excludes the time value from the assessment of effectiveness. At each quarter-end, the Company had not hedged forecasted transactions for more than the next twelve months, and the Company expects all derivative-related amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss to be reclassified to earnings within twelve months. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at July 31, 2010 was $44 million and these contracts extend through July 2011. Net changes in the fair value of foreign exchange derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory was $1 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010 and was $2 million and $3 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2009, respectively.
 
Derivative Holdings Designated as Non-Hedges

     The Company mitigates the effect of fluctuating foreign exchange rates on the reporting of foreign currency denominated earnings by entering into a variety of derivative instruments, including option currency contracts. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at July 31, 2010 was $15 million and these contracts extend through October 2010. Changes in the fair value of these foreign currency option contracts, which are designated as non-hedges, are recorded in earnings immediately within other income. The realized gains, premiums paid, and changes in the fair market value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were not significant for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009.

     The Company also enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency denominated merchandise purchases and intercompany transactions that are not designated as hedges. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at July 31, 2010 was $35 million and these contracts extend through January 2011. Net changes in the fair value of foreign exchange derivative financial instruments designated as non-hedges were substantially offset by the changes in value of the underlying transactions, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The amount recorded for all of the periods presented was not significant.

The Company enters into diesel fuel forward and option contracts to mitigate a portion of the Company's freight expense due to the variability caused by fuel surcharges imposed by our third-party freight carriers. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at July 31, 2010 was $2 million and these contracts extend through November 2010. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings immediately. The effect was not significant for any of the periods presented.

In 2008, the Company terminated the European net investment hedge by amending its existing cross currency swap and entering simultaneously into a new cross currency swap, thereby fixing the amount owed to the counterparty in 2015 at $24 million. During the term of the agreement, the Company remits to its counterparty interest payments based on one-month U.S. LIBOR rates on the $24 million liability. The agreement also includes a provision that may, if exercised, require the Company to settle this transaction in August 2010, at the option of the Company or the counterparty. During the second quarter of 2010, the counterparty exercised this option, thereby resulting in a reclassification of the amount owed from non-current to current liabilities

Fair Value of Derivative Contracts

The following represents the fair value of the Company's derivative contracts.  Many of the Company's agreements allow for a netting arrangement. The following is presented on a gross basis, by type of contract:

Interest Rate Risk Management

     The Company has from time to time employed various interest rate swaps to minimize its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. On March 20, 2009, the Company terminated its interest rate swaps for a gain of $19 million. This gain is amortized as part of interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective-yield method. The amount amortized during the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009 was not significant. The amount amortized during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009 was $1 million in each respective period.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt was $137 million and $132 million, respectively, at July 31, 2010, $138 million and $120 million, respectively, at August 1, 2009 and $138 million and $127 million, respectively, at January 30, 2010. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other current receivables and payables approximate their fair value.

Earnings Per Share
5. Earnings Per Share
 
      The Company accounts for and discloses net earnings per share using the treasury stock method. The Company's basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company's reported net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company's restricted stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic earnings per share computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents. The diluted earnings per share calculation includes the effect of contingently issuable share-based compensation awards with performance vesting conditions as being outstanding at the beginning of the period in which all vesting conditions are met.
 
The Company's basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as of July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, were as follows:

     156.9       155.9       157.1       155.8  
 
      Options to purchase 4.8 million and 6.2 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, respectively. Options to purchase 4.4 million and 6.5 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, respectively. These options were not included primarily because the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. For the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010, contingently issuable shares of 0.5 million have not been included as the vesting conditions have not been satisfied. Stock option and awards totaling 0.2 million shares were not included in the computation of earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2009 as the effect would have been antidilutive due to a loss from continuing operations being reported for the period.

8. Share-Based Compensation

On May 19, 2010, the Foot Locker 2007 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved for all awards to twelve million shares.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility.  Total compensation expense related to the Company's share-based plans was $3.9 million and $3.0 million and $6.9 million and $5.4 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, respectively.

Compensation expense related to the Company's stock option and stock purchase plans was $1.5 million and $1.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, respectively, and was $3.0 million and $1.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009, respectively. The following table shows the Company's assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation expense:

Restricted Stock and Units

Restricted shares of the Company's common stock and restricted stock units may be awarded to certain officers and key employees of the Company. The Company also issues restricted stock units to its non-employee directors. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock provided that the vesting conditions are satisfied. As of July 31, 2010, 678,535 restricted stock units were outstanding. Compensation expense is recognized using the fair market value at the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, provided the recipient continues to be employed by the Company. Generally, awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically three years. However, restricted stock unit grants made after May 19, 2010 in connection with the Company's long-term incentive program vest after the passage of time and the attainment of certain performance metrics. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of grant and the holders have voting rights.  Dividends are paid to holders of restricted stock that vest with the passage of time; for performance-based restricted stock granted after May 19, 2010, dividends will be accumulated and paid after the performance criteria are met.

Restricted shares and units activity for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010 and August 1, 2009 is summarized as follows:

The Company's auction rate security is classified as available-for-sale and, accordingly, is reported at fair value. The fair value of the security is determined by review of the underlying security at each reporting period. The Company's derivative financial instruments are valued using market-based inputs to valuation models. These valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility.

The Company's Level 3 assets represent the Company's investment in the Reserve International Liquidity Fund, Ltd. (the "Fund"), a money market fund classified in short-term investments. The Company assesses the fair value of its investment in the Fund, which includes a quarterly impairment evaluation. There were no further redemptions for this investment during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2010.
