Footstar believes that its website (or other websites referenced by

to be formal notice that investors should access the Footstar website (or other

Footstar and its operations, financial results and other events and information
including from time to time certain information concerning financial outlook and

All investors should be aware that posted or archived information on

is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination by Footstar that
the information is in fact material.
In addition, the posting or archiving of information on Footstar's
website (or other websites referenced by Footstar from time to time) represents
only what was Footstar's belief or outlook as of the date such information was
originally issued or originally communicated by Footstar and such information
may no longer be accurate or complete following such date. The continued posting
and archiving of such information on Footstar's website (or other websites
referenced by Footstar from time to time) is not a representation that such
information continues to be accurate or complete and such information has not
been updated.
Note on Forward-Looking Statements
The referenced call, recorded message, investor conference (or
presentation materials) or other event may include forward-looking statements
within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as "expect,"
"look," "believe," "may," "will," "intend," "plan," "target," "objective,"
"goal" and similar statements or variations of such terms. Such forward-looking
statements are based on the Company's current expectations, assumptions,

of our merchandise mix and retail locations, the availability of products, and
