Basis of Presentation and Consolidation These Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), in the Company's opinion, include all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation and should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022. The same accounting policies are followed to prepare quarterly financial statements as are followed in preparing annual financial statements. A description of such significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) present the results of the Company and our subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts were reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
