At February 3, 2001, a consolidated foreign subsidiary of the Company had a net operating loss carryforward that began to expire in fiscal year 1998. Management records a valuation allowance each year reflecting the likelihood of the realization of the related deferred tax asset. For the year ended February 3, 2001, the valuation allowance was reduced by $801.

 

For the years ended February 3, 2001, January 29, 2000 and January 30, 1999, total income tax expense differs from that computed by multiplying income before taxes by the United States federal income tax rates as follows:
