GLOBAL NOTES AND STATEMENTS OF LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS REGARDING THE DEBTORS’ MONTHLY OPERATING REPORTS

On May 4, 2016 (the “Commencement Date”), Aéropostale, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”),1 each commenced a voluntary case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Debtors are authorized to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On May 5, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the joint administration of these cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). On May 11, 2016, the United States Trustee for Region 2 (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Creditors’ Committee”).
 
The Debtors are filing their consolidated monthly operating report (the “MOR”) solely for purposes of complying with the monthly operating requirements applicable in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases. The MOR is in a format acceptable to the U.S. Trustee. The MOR should not be relied upon by any persons for information relating to current or future financial conditions, events, or performance of any of the Debtors or their affiliates.
 
These following notes and statements and limitations should be referred to, and referenced in connection with, any review of the MOR.

1.
Basis of Presentation. For financial reporting purposes, the Debtors generally prepare consolidated financial statements, which include information for Aéropostale, Inc. and its Debtor affiliates. The financial statements and information contained herein are unaudited and preliminary. The Debtors are maintaining their books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the information furnished in this MOR uses the companies’ normal accrual method of accounting. In preparing the MOR, the Debtors relied on financial data derived from their books and records that was available at the time of preparation. Subsequent information or discovery may result in material changes to the MOR and errors or omissions may exist. Notwithstanding any such discovery, new information, or errors or omissions, the Debtors do not undertake any obligation or commitment to update the MOR.
 
2.
Reporting Period. Unless otherwise noted herein, the MOR generally reflects the Debtors’ books and records and financial activity occurring during the applicable reporting period. Except as otherwise noted, no adjustments have been made for activity occurring after the close of the reporting period.

3.
Consolidated Entity Accounts Payable and Disbursement Systems.  As  described  in  the  Cash Management Motion,2 the Debtors utilize an integrated, centralized cash management system, in the ordinary course of business, to collect, concentrate, and disburse funds generated by their operations (the “Cash Management System”). The Debtors maintain a consolidated accounts payable and disbursements system to pay operating and administrative expenses through various disbursement accounts. In the ordinary course of business, the Debtors maintain business relationships among each other, which result in intercompany receivables and payables (the “Intercompany Claims”) arising from intercompany transactions (the “Intercompany Transactions”). As set forth more fully in the Debtors’ Cash Management Motion, the primary Intercompany Transactions giving rise to Intercompany Claims are cash receipts activities, disbursement activities, inventory purchases, and expense allocations. Historically, Intercompany Claims are not settled by actual transfers of cash among the Debtors. Instead, the Debtors track all Intercompany Transactions in their accounting system, which concurrently are recorded on the applicable Debtors’ balance sheets. The Debtors have attempted to identify disbursements on an individual Debtor basis. However, because the Debtors generally track and report their financial information on a consolidated basis some errors may exist and adjustments in future reporting may be necessary.


1 The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases and the last four digits of each Debtor’s federal tax identification number, as applicable, are as follows: Aéropostale, Inc. (3880); Aéropostale West, Inc. (7013); Jimmy’Z Surf Co., LLC (0461); Aero GC Management LLC (4257); Aeropostale Procurement Company, Inc. (8518); Aeropostale Licensing, Inc. (8124); P.S. from Aeropostale, Inc. (5900); GoJane LLC (4923); Aeropostale Holdings, Inc. (7729); and Aeropostale Puerto Rico, Inc. (6477). The Debtors’ corporate headquarters is located at 125 Chubb Avenue, 5th Floor, Lyndhurst, NJ 07071.

2 Motion of Debtors Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a), 363, 364, 503, and 507 for Interim and Final Authority to (I) Continue Using Existing Cash Management System, Bank Accounts, and Business Forms, (II) Implement Changes to the Cash Management System in the Ordinary Course of Business, (III) Continue Intercompany Transactions, (IV) Provide Administrative Expense Priority for Postpetition Intercompany Claims and for Related Relief [ECF No. 7] (the “Cash Management Motion”).

4.
Accuracy. The financial information disclosed herein was not prepared in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other applicable non-bankruptcy law or in lieu of complying with any periodic reporting requirements thereunder. Persons and entities trading in or otherwise purchasing, selling, or transferring the claims against or equity interests in the Debtors should evaluate this financial information in light of the purposes for which it was prepared. The Debtors are not liable for and undertake no responsibility to indicate variations from securities laws or for any evaluations of the Debtors based on this financial information or any other information.

5.
Debtor in Possession Financing. On June 13, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Final Order Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 361, 362, 363 and 364 and Rules 2002, 4001, and 9014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (I) Authorizing Incurrence by the Debtors of Postpetition Secured Indebtedness, (II) Granting Liens, and (III) Authorizing Use of Cash Collateral by the Debtors and Providing for Adequate Protection, and (IV) Modifying the Stay [ECF No. 298] (the “DIP Order”), which approved and authorized the Debtors to access up to $160,000,000 in postpetition financing and to provide the Debtors’ prepetition secured parties adequate protection on the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Order. Please see the DIP Order for additional detail. Descriptions of the Debtors’ prepetition debt structure and the collateral relating to the bank debt are contained in the Declaration of David J. Dick Pursuant to Local Rule 1007-2 for the Southern District of New York [ECF No. 4]. Reference to the applicable loan agreements and related documents is necessary for a complete description of the collateral and the nature, extent, and priority of liens. On Septembe 15, 2016, the Debtors indefeasibly paid in full the DIP obligations.

6.
Payment of Prepetition Claims Pursuant to First Day Orders. Within the first two days of the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders (the “First-Day Orders”) authorizing, but not directing, the Debtors to, among other things, pay certain prepetition (a) service fees and charges assessed by the Debtors’ banks and debit and credit card companies; (b) claims of warehousemen and miscellaneous lien claimants; (c) certain insurance obligations; (d) obligations to “critical vendors”; (e) customer programs obligations; (f) employee wages, salaries, and related items, including employee benefit programs and independent contractor obligations; and (g) taxes and assessments. To the extent any payments were made on account of such claims following the commencement of these chapter 11 cases pursuant to the authority granted to the Debtors by the Bankruptcy Court under the First Day Orders, such payments have been included in the MOR unless otherwise noted.

7.
Liabilities Subject to Compromise. Any amount classified as liabilities subject to compromise are estimates and are subject to future change and adjustment.

8.
Reservation of Rights. The Debtors reserve all rights to amend or supplement the MOR in all respects, as may be necessary or appropriate. Nothing contained in this MOR shall constitute a waiver of any of the Debtors’ rights or an admission with respect to their chapter 11 cases.

1Represents payments made by the Debtors to persons considered to be “insiders” under the Bankruptcy Code during the reporting period. The total is shown on a cash basis, reflecting the actual amounts received, net of any applicable taxes, withholdings or other deductions. The total includes regular payroll, fees and expense reimbursements.

2Persons included as “insiders” have been included for informational purposes only. The Debtors do not concede or take any position with respect to:
(a) such person’s influence over the control of the Debtors; (b) the management responsibilities or functions of such individual; (c) the decision-making or corporate authority of such individual; or (d) whether such individual could successfully argue that he or she is not an “insider” under applicable law, including, without limitation, the federal securities laws or with respect to any theories of liability or for any other purpose. Further, the inclusion of a party as an “insider” is not an acknowledgement or concession that such party is an “insider” under applicable bankruptcy law.

3On June 3, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered the order establishing procedures for interim compensation and reimbursement of expeneses of professionals (ECF No. 251). Any payments made by the Debtors to estate professionals will be in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein. The debtos have funded an escrow accoutn with month-end balacne of $19,043,000 for professionals pursuant to the final order
