NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2008

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. Reference is made to the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended September 30, 2007 for Mothers Work, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Mothers Work”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for additional disclosures including a summary of the Company’s accounting policies.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Since the Company’s operations are seasonal, the interim operating results of the Company may not be indicative of operating results for the full year.

The Company operates on a fiscal year ending September 30 of each year. All references to fiscal years of the Company refer to fiscal years, or periods within such fiscal years, ended on September 30 in those years. For example, the Company’s “fiscal 2008” will end on September 30, 2008. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted stock for which the restrictions have not lapsed. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to the potential dilution, if applicable, from the assumed lapse of restrictions on restricted stock and from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options.

The following tables summarize the Basic EPS and Diluted EPS calculations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2008						Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
	Net Income		Shares	EPS			Net Income		Shares	EPS
Basic EPS	$	4,137	5,956	$	0.69		$	1,033	5,838	$	0.18
Incremental shares from the assumed lapse of restrictions on restricted stock	—		23	—			—		5	—
Incremental shares from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options	—		70	(0.01		)	—		297	(0.01		)

Diluted EPS	$	4,137	6,049	$	0.68		$	1,033	6,140	$	0.17

Table of Contents

	Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008						Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007
	Net Income		Shares	EPS			Net Income		Shares	EPS
Basic EPS	$	3,395	5,915	$	0.57		$	4,987	5,789	$	0.86
Incremental shares from the assumed lapse of restrictions on restricted stock	—		16	—			—		46	(0.01		)
Incremental shares from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options	—		108	(0.01		)	—		333	(0.04		)

Diluted EPS	$	3,395	6,039	$	0.56		$	4,987	6,168	$	0.81

For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, options for 231,400 and 160,545 shares were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as their effect would have been antidilutive. For the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, options for 218,298 and 70,515 shares were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as their effect would have been antidilutive.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT

On December 8, 2006, the Company repurchased $25,000,000 principal amount of its 11 1 / 4 % senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) at 105.625% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the December 2006 repurchase, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge totaling $2,093,000, representing the premium paid of $1,406,000 plus the write-off of unamortized debt issuance discount and deferred financing costs of $687,000. On April 18, 2007, the Company completed the redemption of the remaining outstanding amount of its Senior Notes at 105.625% of the $90,000,000 principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the April 2007 redemption, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge totaling $7,330,000, representing the premium paid of $5,063,000 plus the write-off of unamortized debt issuance discount and deferred financing costs of $2,267,000.

Table of Contents

On March 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) for a $90,000,000 senior secured Term Loan B due March 13, 2013 (the “Term Loan”), the proceeds of which were received on April 18, 2007 and were used to redeem the remaining $90,000,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes. The interest rate on the Term Loan is equal to, at the Company’s election, either (i) the prime rate plus 1.00%, or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin was initially fixed at 2.50% through and including the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007. Thereafter, the applicable margin for LIBOR rate borrowings is either 2.25% or 2.50%, depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined). Based upon the Company’s applicable quarterly Consolidated Leverage Ratio during the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the applicable margin for LIBOR rate borrowings remained at 2.50% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The Company is required to make minimum repayments of the principal amount of the Term Loan in quarterly installments of $225,000 each. Additionally, the Term Loan can be prepaid at the Company’s option, in part or in whole, at any time without any prepayment premium or penalty. During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the Company prepaid $13,000,000 of the outstanding Term Loan. At June 30, 2008, the Company’s indebtedness under the Term Loan Agreement was $75,875,000.

The Term Loan is secured by a security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, real estate interests, letter of credit rights, cash, intangibles and certain other assets. The security interest granted to the Term Lenders is, in certain respects, subordinate to the security interest granted to the Credit Facility Lender. The Term Loan Agreement imposes certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and enter into other various types of transactions. The Term Loan Agreement also contains quarterly financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a specified maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio and a specified minimum permitted Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined). Since the inception of the Term Loan Agreement, including the nine month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of its Term Loan Agreement.

In order to mitigate the Company’s floating rate interest risk on the variable rate Term Loan, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Agent bank for the Term Loan that commenced on April 18, 2007, the date the $90,000,000 Term Loan proceeds were received, and expires on April 18, 2012. The interest rate swap agreement enables the Company to effectively convert an amount of the Term Loan equal to the notional amount of the interest rate swap from a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% (subject to reduction to LIBOR plus 2.25% if the Company achieves a specified leverage ratio), to a fixed interest rate of 7.50% (subject to reduction to 7.25% if the Company achieves a specified leverage ratio) for the significant majority of the Term Loan. The notional amount of the interest rate swap was $75,000,000 at the inception of the swap agreement and decreases over time to a notional amount of $5,000,000 at the expiration date. The notional amount of the swap was $57,500,000 as of June 30, 2008 and over the next eighteen months decreases as follows: to $50,000,000 starting October 20, 2008; to $42,500,000 starting April 20, 2009; and to $35,000,000 starting October 19, 2009.

In connection with the Term Loan transaction, the Company amended its existing $60,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in order to permit the new Term Loan financing. This amendment of the Credit Facility also extended its maturity from October 15, 2009 to March 13, 2012, increased its size to $65,000,000, and reduced the LIBOR-based interest rate option under the facility by 0.25%. There are no financial covenant requirements under the Credit Facility provided that Excess Availability (as defined) does not fall below 10% of the Borrowing Base (as defined). If Excess Availability were to fall below 10% of the Borrowing Base, the Company would be required to meet a specified minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined). During the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, the Company exceeded the minimum requirements for Excess Availability.

6. INCOME TAXES

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN No. 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under FIN No. 48, recognition of a tax benefit occurs when a tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination, based solely on its technical merits. Derecognition of a previously recognized tax position would occur if it is subsequently determined that the tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained.

Table of Contents

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 effective as of October 1, 2007. In accordance with FIN No. 48, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $74,000, decreasing the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and increasing the September 30, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

As of October 1, 2007, the Company had $2,315,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties of $946,000. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision (benefit). If recognized, the portion of the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the Company’s effective tax rate was $1,623,000.

During the twelve months subsequent to October 1, 2007, it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits could potentially decrease by approximately $382,000 (of which approximately $114,000 would affect the effective tax rate) for federal and state tax positions related to the effect of expiring statutes of limitations and expected settlements.

The Company’s U.S. Federal income tax returns for the years ended September 30, 2004 and beyond remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Company also files returns in numerous state jurisdictions, which have varying statutes of limitations. Generally, state tax returns for the years ended September 30, 2003 and beyond, depending upon the jurisdiction, remain subject to examination. However, the statutes of limitations on certain of the Company’s state returns remain open for years prior to fiscal 2003.

7. RETIREMENT PLANS

On March 2, 2007, the Company entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements (the “SERP Agreements”) with its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and its President and Chief Creative Officer (the “SERP Executives”).

The components of net periodic pension cost on a pre-tax basis were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended, June 30,				Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Service cost	$	243	$	393	$	729	$	524
Interest cost	45		29		135		39
Amortization of prior service cost	88		89		264		118
Total net periodic benefit cost	$	376	$	511	$	1,128	$	681

On April 30, 2007, the Company made an initial required contribution of $2,662,000 to a Grantor Trust, which was established for the purpose of accumulating assets in anticipation of the Company’s payment obligations under the SERP Agreements. On November 27, 2007, the Company made an additional required contribution to the Grantor Trust of $1,160,000. In order to impact positively the Company’s ability to comply with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant of its Term Loan Agreement at March 31, 2008, with the consent of the SERP Executives the Company withdrew $1,000,000 from the Grantor Trust on March 28, 2008. The withdrawn funds were used to repay indebtedness under the Credit Facility.

On May 20, 2008, the Company entered into (i) a Letter Agreement with the SERP Executives and the trustee for the Grantor Trust (the “Trustee”), and (ii) an amendment to the Grantor Trust agreement with the Trustee (collectively the “Agreements”). The Agreements amended the SERP Agreements and the Grantor Trust agreement to provide for the Company to deliver an irrevocable standby letter of credit to the Trustee in an amount equal to the Company’s then current funding obligation under the SERP Agreements, which was $3,885,000. As provided in the Agreements, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 the Company received a distribution of the remaining assets held in the Grantor Trust, amounting to $2,844,000.

The amendments affected by the Agreements also allow for, at the Company’s option, the issuance from time to time of irrevocable standby letters of credit, or the increase of size of an irrevocable standby letter of credit already held by the Trustee, in lieu of any deposit to the Grantor Trust otherwise required in the future. In addition, the Agreements permit the Company, from time to time at its sole discretion, to reduce the size of any irrevocable standby letter of credit issued to the Trustee, so long as the Company simultaneously funds the Grantor Trust with an amount of cash equal to the amount of the reduction of the letter of credit.

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS No. 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The FASB issued a one-year deferral of SFAS No. 157’s fair value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The impact from adoption of SFAS No. 157, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations has not yet been determined.

SFAS No. 159

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The impact from adoption of SFAS No. 159, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations has not yet been determined.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions arising from normal business activities. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and although the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to currently pending actions cannot be accurately predicted, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any pending action will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

10. SEGMENT AND ENTERPRISE WIDE DISCLOSURES

Operating Segment . Under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” a company may be required to report segmented information about separately identifiable parts of its business, which both (i) meet the definition of an “operating segment” under SFAS No. 131, and (ii) exceed certain quantitative thresholds established in SFAS No. 131. The Company has determined that its business is comprised of one operating segment: the design, manufacture and sale of maternity apparel and related accessories. While the Company offers a wide range of products for sale, the substantial portion of its products are initially distributed through the same distribution facilities, many of the Company’s products are manufactured at common contract manufacturer production facilities, the Company’s products are marketed through a common marketing department, and these products are sold to a similar customer base, consisting of expectant mothers.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our fiscal year ends on September 30. All references in this discussion to our fiscal years refer to the fiscal year, or periods within the fiscal year, ended on September 30 in the year mentioned. For example, our “fiscal 2008” will end on September 30, 2008.

Restructuring

On July 1, 2008, the Company announced that it was streamlining its merchandise brands and store nameplates and had implemented cost reductions in order to simplify its business model, reduce overhead costs and improve and tighten its merchandise assortments. Pursuant to the strategic restructuring, the Company will re-brand its Mimi Maternity® merchandise brand under its A Pea in the Pod® brand beginning in November 2008. The Company also plans to streamline its store nameplates by January 2009, by renaming its single-brand Mimi Maternity stores as A Pea in the Pod, and by renaming its multi-brand Mimi Maternity stores as Destination Maternity®. The Company expects to incur pre-tax expense of approximately $0.9 million from its restructuring and cost reduction actions, consisting of approximately $0.5 million for cash severance expense and severance-related benefits, and approximately $0.4 million of non-cash expense for accelerated depreciation expense of existing store signs resulting from planned store signage changes. Of the $0.9 million expense associated with these actions, the Company expects approximately $0.7 million to be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, and approximately $0.2 million to be recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company expects to realize approximately $5 million of annualized pre-tax expense savings from these actions, beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Net Sales. Our net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by 0.7%, or $1.0 million, to $152.2 million from $153.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in net sales versus last year resulted primarily from a decrease in sales from our leased department and licensed relationships, largely due to a decrease in Sears® leased department sales, as well as reduced sales volume from the ongoing closure of certain underperforming stores, substantially offset by an increase in comparable store sales and increased internet sales. Comparable store sales increased by 2.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, based on 989 retail locations, versus a comparable store sales decrease of 8.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, based on 1,393 retail locations. We attribute the increase in comparable store sales of 2.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, to comparatively weaker sales results from a year ago and the positive impact from refinement of our merchandise assortments and our in-store merchandise presentation, despite the continued weak overall economic and retail environment.

As of June 30, 2008, we operated a total of 761 stores and 1,055 total retail locations, compared to 787 stores and 1,599 total retail locations as of June 30, 2007. In addition, our Oh Baby by Motherhood™ collection is available at Kohl’s® stores throughout the United States. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we opened seven stores, including three multi-brand store openings, and closed 12 stores, with seven of the store closings related to multi-brand store openings. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company closed 477 leased department locations within Sears® stores. As we disclosed in September 2007, pursuant to mutual agreement our relationship with Sears ended in June 2008.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by 3.6%, or $2.9 million, to $78.2 million from $81.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily reflecting the effect of our lower gross margin and lower sales volume compared to last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was 51.4% compared to 52.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in gross margin of 1.5 percentage points compared to the prior year resulted primarily from more price promotional activity compared to last year, increased product costs and the effect of spreading fixed product overhead costs over a lower sales volume.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by 0.7%, or $0.5 million, to $69.6 million from $70.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This decrease in expense for the quarter resulted primarily from a decrease in legal expenses partially offset by increased store closing costs. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses remained consistent at 45.7% for the third quarters of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007. We incurred impairment charges for write-downs of store long-lived assets of $0.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. We recorded charges of $0.4 million related to store closings for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to third quarter fiscal 2007 store closing charges of $15,000.

Operating Income. Our operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by 21.9%, or approximately $2.5 million, to $8.6 million from $11.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, due to the lower gross margin, lower sales volume and associated gross profit reduction, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income as

Table of Contents

a percentage of net sales (operating income margin) for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased to 5.7% from 7.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in operating income margin was due to our lower gross margin compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Interest Expense, Net. Our net interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by 16.3%, or $0.3 million, to $1.7 million from $2.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. This decrease was primarily due to the lower interest rate on our new $90.0 million Term Loan compared to the interest rate on our Senior Notes and, to a much lesser extent, our lower debt level, primarily as a result of the $5 million Term Loan prepayment in March 2008 and the $8 million Term Loan prepayment in June 2008, partially offset by higher average borrowings under our credit facility. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, our average daily level of direct borrowings under our credit facility was $3.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. We did not have any direct borrowings under our credit facility as of June 30, 2008.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt . In June 2008, we prepaid $8.0 million principal amount of our outstanding Term Loan. The $8.0 million Term Loan prepayment resulted in a third quarter fiscal 2008 pre-tax charge of $59,000, representing the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. In April 2007, we repurchased the remaining $90.0 million principal amount of our outstanding Senior Notes with the proceeds from a new Term Loan. The $90.0 million Senior Note repurchase resulted in a third quarter fiscal 2007 pre-tax charge of $7.3 million, representing the premium paid plus the write-off of unamortized debt issuance discount and deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Provision. Our effective tax rate was 39.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and 39.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. We expect our effective tax rate for the full year fiscal 2008 to be approximately 46%. Our third quarter and full year fiscal 2008 income tax rates reflect the effect of additional income tax expense (including interest and penalties) being recognized in connection with the implementation and ongoing accounting requirements of FIN No. 48.

Net Income. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $4.1 million, or $0.68 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.17 per share (diluted), for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Our average diluted shares outstanding of 6,049,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was 1.5% lower than the 6,140,000 average diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in average diluted shares outstanding reflects the lower dilutive impact of outstanding stock options in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as a result of the lower average market price for the Company’s common stock, partially offset by higher shares outstanding in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as a result of stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock awards.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Net Sales. Our net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 decreased by 2.6%, or $11.5 million, to $434.1 million from $445.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The decrease in sales versus last year resulted primarily from a decrease in sales from our leased department and licensed relationships, largely due to a decrease in Sears leased department sales, as well as reduced sales volume from the ongoing closure of certain underperforming stores and a decrease in comparable store sales, partially offset by increased internet sales. Comparable store sales decreased by 0.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, based on 842 retail locations, versus a comparable store sales decrease of 4.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, based on 1,365 retail locations.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we opened 24 stores, including five multi-brand store openings, and closed 44 stores, with 16 of the store closings related to multi-brand store openings. In addition, during the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the Company closed 501 leased department locations within Sears stores, pursuant to mutual agreement with Sears and, as we disclosed in September 2007, our relationship with Sears ended in June 2008.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 decreased by 6.1%, or approximately $14.3 million, to $219.9 million from $234.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, primarily reflecting the effect of our lower gross margin and lower sales volume compared to last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was 50.6%, compared to 52.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The decrease in gross margin of 2.0 percentage points compared to the prior year resulted primarily from more price promotional activity compared to last year, increased product costs and the effect of spreading fixed product overhead costs over a lower sales volume.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 decreased by 0.1%, or $0.2 million, to $208.5 million from $208.7 million for the first nine months of

Table of Contents

fiscal 2007. This slight decrease in expense for the nine-month period resulted primarily from decreased legal expenses offset by increases in store closing costs and impairment charges for write-downs of store long-lived assets. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were 48.0% compared to 46.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. This increase in the expense percentage for the nine-month period resulted primarily from negative expense leverage from the decrease in sales, partially offset by the $0.2 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. We incurred impairment charges for write-downs of store long-lived assets of $1.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, as compared to $0.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. We recorded charges of $0.9 million related to store closings for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, as compared to a gain of $0.1 million from store closings in the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Operating Income. Our operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 decreased by 55.5%, or $14.2 million, to $11.4 million from $25.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, primarily due to the lower gross margin, lower sales volume and associated gross profit reduction. Operating income as a percentage of net sales (operating income margin) for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 decreased to 2.6% from 5.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The decrease in operating income margin was due to our lower gross margin and our higher operating expense ratio compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Interest Expense, Net. Our net interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 decreased by 31.8%, or approximately $2.6 million, to $5.4 million from $8.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. This decrease was primarily due to the lower interest rate on our new $90.0 million Term Loan, which was used to redeem the remaining outstanding balance of our Senior Notes and, to a lesser extent, our lower debt level, as a result of the repurchase of $25.0 million of our Senior Notes in December 2006, the $5 million Term Loan prepayment in March 2008 and the $8 million Term Loan prepayment in June 2008, partially offset by higher average borrowings under our credit facility. During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, our average daily level of direct borrowings under our credit facility was $5.3 million compared to $0.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. We did not have any direct borrowings under our credit facility as of June 30, 2008.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt . During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we prepaid $13.0 million principal amount of our outstanding Term Loan. The $13.0 million Term Loan prepayments resulted in pre-tax charges totaling $0.1 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, we repurchased $25.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes in December 2006 and, with the proceeds of a new Term Loan, we redeemed the remaining $90.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes in April 2007. The $115.0 million of Senior Note repurchases resulted in pre-tax charges totaling $9.4 million, representing the premium paid plus the write-off of unamortized debt issuance discount and deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Provision. Our effective tax rate was 41.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and 39.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Our income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 reflects the effect of additional income tax expense (including interest and penalties) being recognized in connection with the implementation and ongoing accounting requirements of FIN No. 48.

Net Income. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was $3.4 million, or $0.56 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $5.0 million, or $0.81 per share (diluted), for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 includes an after-tax debt extinguishment charge of $59,000, or $0.01 per share (diluted). Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 includes an after-tax debt extinguishment charge of $5.7 million, or $0.93 per share (diluted).

Our average diluted shares outstanding of 6,039,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was 2.1% lower than the 6,168,000 average diluted shares outstanding for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The decrease in average diluted shares outstanding reflects the lower dilutive impact of outstanding stock options and restricted stock in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007, as a result of the lower average market price for the Company’s common stock, partially offset by higher shares outstanding in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007, as a result of stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock awards.

Seasonality

Our business, like that of many other retailers, is seasonal. Our quarterly net sales have historically been highest in our third fiscal quarter, corresponding to the Spring selling season, followed by the first fiscal quarter, corresponding to the Fall/holiday selling season. Given the typically higher gross margin we experience in the third fiscal quarter compared to other quarters, the relatively fixed nature of most of our operating expenses and interest expense, and the historically higher sales level in the third quarter, we have typically generated a very significant percentage of our full year operating income

Table of Contents

and net income during the third quarter. Results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. Quarterly results may fluctuate materially depending upon, among other things, the timing of new store openings and new leased department openings, net sales and profitability contributed by new stores and leased departments, increases or decreases in comparable store sales, the timing of the fulfillment of purchase orders under our product and license arrangements, adverse weather conditions, shifts in the timing of certain holidays and promotions, changes in inventory and production levels and the timing of deliveries of inventory, and changes in our merchandise mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash needs have primarily been for (i) debt service, (ii) capital expenditures, including leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment for new stores, store relocations and expansions of our existing stores, as well as improvements and new equipment for our distribution and corporate facilities and information systems, and (iii) working capital, including inventory to support our business. We have historically financed these capital requirements from cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facility or available cash balances.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to a decrease of $11.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Cash provided by operations of $19.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 decreased by approximately $1.8 million from the $21.7 million cash provided by operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. This decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily the result of lower net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007, substantially offset by other working capital changes that provided cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to a use of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2007. During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we used the majority of our cash provided by operations to pay for capital expenditures. We funded repayments of long-term debt in the first nine months of fiscal 2008, including $13.0 million of prepayments of our Term Loan, with the remaining cash provided by operations, the cash received from the Grantor Trust, cash generated from cash overdraft timing, and the drawdown of a portion of our cash balance. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, we used the majority of our cash provided by operations to pay for capital expenditures. We funded the $25.0 million repurchase of our Senior Notes by utilizing available cash, cash generated by net proceeds from the sales (net of purchases) of short-term investments, cash generated from stock option exercises, as well as the remaining cash provided by operations.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we spent $12.4 million on capital expenditures, including $9.3 million for leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment principally for new store facilities, as well as improvements to existing stores, and $3.1 million for our information systems and distribution and corporate facilities. This compares to $12.9 million in capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, of which $8.9 million was spent for new store facilities and improvements to existing stores and retail locations, and $4.0 million for our information systems and distribution and corporate facilities.

On December 8, 2006, we completed the repurchase of $25.0 million principal amount of our Senior Notes at 105.625% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On April 18, 2007, we completed the redemption of the remaining $90.0 million principal amount of our outstanding Senior Notes through a new Term Loan financing. The new Term Loan extended the maturity for $90.0 million principal amount of our debt from August 1, 2010 (the maturity date of the redeemed Senior Notes) to March 13, 2013 (the maturity date of the new Term Loan), with quarterly required principal payments of $225,000. The December 2006 and April 2007 redemptions of the Senior Notes, which were both at a price of 105.625% of principal amount, plus accrued interest, resulted in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” of $9.4 million on a pre-tax basis, consisting of the $6.5 million cash redemption premium and $2.9 million of non-cash expense from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and debt issuance costs.

In March 2007, we entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements (the “SERP Agreements”) with our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and our President and Chief Creative Officer (the “SERP Executives”). In April 2007, we made an initial required contribution of $2.7 million to a Grantor Trust, which was established for the purpose of accumulating assets in anticipation of our payment obligations under the SERP Agreements. In November 2007, we made an additional required contribution to the Grantor Trust of $1.2 million. In order to impact positively our ability to comply with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant of our Term Loan Agreement at March 31, 2008, with the consent of the SERP Executives we withdrew $1.0 million from the Grantor Trust on March 28, 2008. The withdrawn funds were used to repay indebtedness under our credit facility. On May 20, 2008, we entered into (i) a Letter Agreement with the SERP Executives and the trustee for the Grantor Trust (the “Trustee”), and (ii) an amendment to the Grantor Trust agreement with the Trustee (collectively the “Agreements”). The Agreements amended the SERP Agreements and the Grantor Trust

Table of Contents

agreement to provide for us to deliver an irrevocable standby letter of credit to the Trustee in an amount equal to our then current funding obligation under the SERP Agreements, which was $3.9 million. As provided in the Agreements, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 we received a distribution of the remaining assets held in the Grantor Trust amounting to $2.8 million. The amendments affected by the Agreements also allow for the issuance, from time to time, of irrevocable standby letters of credit, or the increase of size of an irrevocable standby letter of credit already held by the Trustee, in lieu of any deposit to the Grantor Trust otherwise required in the future. In addition, the Agreements permit us, from time to time at our sole discretion, to reduce the size of any irrevocable standby letter of credit issued to the Trustee, so long as we simultaneously fund the Grantor Trust with an amount of cash equal to the amount of the reduction of the letter of credit.

On March 13, 2007, we entered into a Term Loan Agreement for a $90.0 million senior secured Term Loan B due March 13, 2013, the proceeds of which were received on April 18, 2007 and were used to redeem the remaining $90.0 million principal amount of our Senior Notes. The interest rate on the Term Loan is equal to, at our election, either (i) the prime rate plus 1.00%, or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin was initially fixed at 2.50% through and including the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007. Thereafter, the applicable margin for LIBOR rate borrowings is either 2.25% or 2.50%, depending on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined). Based upon our applicable quarterly Consolidated Leverage Ratio during the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the applicable margin for LIBOR rate borrowings remained at 2.50% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008. We are required to make minimum repayments of the principal amount of the Term Loan in quarterly installments of $225,000 each. Additionally, the Term Loan can be prepaid at our option, in part or in whole, at any time without any prepayment premium or penalty. On March 19, 2008, we prepaid $5.0 million of the outstanding Term Loan and on June 19, 2008 we prepaid $8.0 million of the outstanding Term Loan. At June 30, 2008, our indebtedness under the Term Loan Agreement was $75.9 million.

The Term Loan is secured by a security interest in our accounts receivable, inventory, real estate interests, letter of credit rights, cash, intangibles and certain other assets. The security interest granted to the Term Lenders is, in certain respects, subordinate to the security interest granted to the Credit Facility Lender. The Term Loan Agreement imposes certain restrictions on our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and enter into other various types of transactions. The Term Loan Agreement also contains quarterly financial covenants that require us to maintain a specified maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio and a specified minimum permitted Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined). Since the inception of the Term Loan Agreement, including all of the nine month period ended June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants of our Term Loan Agreement.

In order to mitigate our floating rate interest risk on the variable rate Term Loan, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Agent bank for the Term Loan that commenced on April 18, 2007, the date the $90.0 million Term Loan proceeds were received, and expires on April 18, 2012. The interest rate swap agreement enables us to effectively convert an amount of the Term Loan equal to the notional amount of the interest rate swap from a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% (subject to reduction to LIBOR plus 2.25% if we achieve a specified leverage ratio), to a fixed interest rate of 7.50% (subject to reduction to 7.25% if we achieve a specified leverage ratio) for the significant majority of the Term Loan. The notional amount of the interest rate swap was $75.0 million at the inception of the swap agreement and decreases over time to a notional amount of $5.0 million at the expiration date. The notional amount of the swap was $57.5 million as of June 30, 2008 and over the next eighteen months decreases as follows: to $50.0 million starting October 20, 2008; to $42.5 million starting April 20, 2009; and to $35.0 million starting October 19, 2009.

In connection with the Term Loan transaction, we amended our existing $60.0 million Credit Facility in order to permit the new Term Loan financing. This amendment of the Credit Facility also extended its maturity from October 15, 2009 to March 13, 2012, increased its size to $65.0 million, and reduced the LIBOR-based interest rate option under the facility by 0.25%. There are no financial covenant requirements under the Credit Facility provided that Excess Availability (as defined) does not fall below 10% of the Borrowing Base (as defined). If Excess Availability were to fall below 10% of the Borrowing Base, we would be required to meet a specified minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined). During the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, we exceeded the minimum requirements for Excess Availability.

A s of June 30, 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $10.7 million in letters of credit, with $48.9 million of availability under our credit line based on our Borrowing Base limitations. We had average daily direct borrowings of $5.3 million under our Credit Facility for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, compared to average daily direct borrowings of $0.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Our management believes that our current cash and working capital positions, expected operating cash flows and available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our working capital, capital expenditures and debt repayment requirements and to fund stock and/or debt repurchases, if any, for at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These generally accepted accounting principles require 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 our consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007. We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly from estimates made, future reported results could be materially affected. However, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different results. Except as disclosed below and in the financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1 of this report, there were no material changes in, or additions to, our critical accounting policies or in the assumptions or estimates we used to prepare the financial information appearing in this report.

Our senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and estimates and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Inventories. We value our inventories, which consist primarily of maternity apparel, at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) and includes the cost of merchandise, freight, duty and broker fees. A periodic review of inventory quantities on hand is performed in order to determine if inventory is properly valued at the lower of cost or market. Factors related to current inventories such as future consumer demand and fashion trends, current aging, current analysis of merchandise based on receipt date, current and anticipated retail markdowns or wholesale discounts, and class or type of inventory are analyzed to determine estimated net realizable values. Criteria utilized by us to quantify aging trends include factors such as the amount of merchandise received within the past twelve months, merchandise received more than one year before with quantities on-hand in excess of 12 months of sales, and merchandise currently selling below cost. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value, if required. Inventories as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 totaled $95.2 million and $100.5 million, respectively, representing 36.7% and 36.4% of total assets, respectively. Given the significance of inventories to our consolidated financial statements, the determination of net realizable values is considered to be a critical accounting estimate. Any significant unanticipated changes in the factors noted above could have a significant impact on the value of our inventories and our reported operating results.

Long-Lived Assets. Our long-lived assets consist principally of store leasehold improvements (included in the “Property, plant and equipment, net” line item in our consolidated balance sheets) and, to a much lesser extent, lease acquisition costs (included in the “Other intangible assets, net” line item in our consolidated balance sheets). These long-lived assets are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or their useful life. Net long-lived assets as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 totaled $67.1 million and $69.2 million, respectively, representing 25.8% and 25.1% of total assets, respectively.

In assessing potential impairment of these assets, we periodically evaluate the historical and forecasted operating results and cash flows on a store-by-store basis. Newly opened stores may take time to generate positive operating and cash flow results. Factors such as: (i) store type, that is, company store or leased department, (ii) store concept, that is, Motherhood Maternity®, Mimi Maternity®, A Pea in the Pod® or Destination Maternity®, (iii) store location, for example, urban area versus suburb, (iv) current marketplace awareness of our brands, (v) local customer demographic data, (vi) anchor stores within the mall in which our store is located and (vii) current fashion trends are all considered in determining the time frame required for a store to achieve positive financial results, which is assumed to be within two years from the date a store location is opened. If economic conditions are substantially different from our expectations, the carrying value of certain of our long-lived assets may become impaired. As a result of our impairment assessment, we recorded write-downs of long-lived assets of $1.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, and $0.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively.

Goodwill . The purchase method of accounting for business combinations requires the use of estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price paid for acquisitions to the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible

Table of Contents

assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and is separately disclosed in our consolidated balance sheets. As of both June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, goodwill totaled $50.4 million, representing 19.4% and 18.3% of total assets, respectively. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually or as impairment indicators arise.

The impairment test requires us to compare the fair value of business reporting units to their carrying value, including assigned goodwill. In assessing potential impairment of goodwill, we have determined that we have one reporting unit for purposes of applying SFAS No. 142 based on our reporting structure. The fair value of our single reporting unit is determined based on the fair market value of our outstanding common stock on a control basis and, if necessary, an outside independent valuation is obtained to determine the fair value. The carrying value of our single reporting unit, expressed on a per share basis, is represented by the book value per share of our outstanding common stock. The results of the annual impairment test performed as of September 30, 2007, indicated the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. If the per share fair value of our single reporting unit were less than the book value per share on September 30, 2007, our goodwill could potentially have been impaired.

Accounting for Income Taxes. We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 effective as of October 1, 2007 (see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note 6. Income Taxes”).

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process requires us to estimate our actual current tax exposure (including interest and penalties) together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation of property and equipment and valuation of inventories, for tax and accounting purposes. We establish reserves for certain tax positions that we believe are supportable, but such tax positions are potentially subject to successful challenge by the applicable taxing authority. We determine our provision for income taxes based on federal and state tax laws and regulations currently in effect, some of which have been recently revised. Legislation changes currently proposed by certain of the states in which we operate, if enacted, could increase our transactions or activities subject to tax. Any such legislation that becomes law could result in an increase in our state income tax expense and our state income taxes paid, which could have a material and adverse effect on our net income or cash flow.

The temporary differences between the book and tax treatment of income and expenses result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. Actual results could differ from our assessments if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. Net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 totaled $23.3 million and $22.3 million, respectively, representing 9.0% and 8.1% of total assets, respectively. To the extent we believe that recovery is not more likely than not, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or change the allowance in a future period, income tax expense will be impacted.

Accounting for Contingencies . From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. We account for contingencies such as these in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” including the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue D-77, “Accounting for Legal Costs Expected to Be Incurred in Connection with a Loss Contingency.” SFAS No. 5 requires us to record an estimated loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An interpretation of SFAS No. 5 further states that when there is a range of loss and no amount within that range is a better estimate than any other, then the minimum amount of the range shall be accrued. Accounting for contingencies arising from contractual or legal proceedings requires management, after consultation with outside legal counsel, to use its best judgment when estimating an accrual related to such contingencies. As additional information becomes known, our accrual for a loss contingency could fluctuate, thereby creating variability in our results of operations from period to period. Likewise, an actual loss arising from a loss contingency which significantly exceeds the amount accrued for in our financial statements could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such actual loss becomes known.

about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The FASB issued a one-year deferral of SFAS No. 157’s fair value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The impact from adoption of SFAS No. 157, if any, on our consolidated financial position or results of operations has not yet been determined.

SFAS No. 159

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The impact from adoption of SFAS No. 159, if any, on our consolidated financial position or results of operations has not yet been determined.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Mothers Work is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. We have not entered into any market sensitive instruments for trading purposes. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. The range of changes presented reflects our view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period.

As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8.5 million. Our cash equivalents consist of money market accounts that bear interest at variable rates. A change in market interest rates earned on our investments impacts the interest income and cash flows, but does not materially impact the fair market value of the financial instruments. Due to the average maturity and conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we believe a sudden change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the value of our investment portfolio.

As of June 30, 2008, the principal components of our debt portfolio were the $75.9 million Term Loan and the $65.0 million Credit Facility, both of which are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Our Credit Facility carries a variable interest rate that is tied to market indices. As of June 30, 2008, we had no direct borrowings and $10.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility would have resulted in interest at a rate between approximately 3.5% and 5.0% per annum as of June 30, 2008. Interest on any future borrowings under the Credit Facility would, to the extent of outstanding borrowings, be affected by changes in market interest rates. A change in market interest rates on the variable rate portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest expense incurred and cash flows.

The Term Loan carries a variable interest rate that is tied to market indices. The sensitivity analysis as it relates to this portion of our debt portfolio assumes an instantaneous 100 basis point move in interest rates from their levels as of June 30, 2008, with all other variables held constant. The principal amount of the Term Loan was $75.9 million as of June 30, 2008. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in additional annual interest expense on the Term Loan of approximately $0.8 million. A 100 basis point decline in market interest rates would correspondingly lower our annual interest expense on the Term Loan by approximately $0.8 million.

In order to mitigate our floating rate interest risk on the variable rate Term Loan, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Agent bank for the Term Loan that commenced on April 18, 2007. The interest rate swap agreement enables us to effectively convert an amount of the Term Loan equal to the notional amount of the interest rate swap from a floating interest rate (LIBOR plus 2.50%), to a fixed interest rate (7.50%). The notional amount of the interest rate swap was $75.0 million at inception of the swap agreement and decreases over time to a notional amount of $5.0 million at the expiration date. The notional amount of the swap was $57,500,000 as of June 30, 2008 and over the next twelve months decreases as follows: to $50,000,000 starting October 20, 2008; and to $42,500,000 starting April 20, 2009. Based on the scheduled swap notional amount during the next 12 months of the swap agreement, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in interest expense savings for the year of approximately $0.5 million. A 100 basis point decline in market interest rates would correspondingly increase our interest expense for the year by approximately $0.5 million. Thus, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates during the next 12 months of the swap agreement would result in additional interest expense for the year of approximately $0.3 million on the Term Loan and swap agreement combined. A 100 basis point decline in market interest rates during the next 12 months of the swap agreement would correspondingly lower our interest expense for the year by approximately $0.3 million on the Term Loan and swap agreement combined.

Based on the limited other variable rate debt included in our debt portfolio as of June 30, 2008, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in additional interest expense incurred for the year of less than $0.1 million. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would correspondingly lower our interest expense for the year by less than $0.1 million.

Other than as described above, we do not believe that the market risk exposure on other financial instruments is material.
