REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Participants of
Tiffany & Co. Employee Profit Sharing
and Retirement Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Tiffany & Co. Employee Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan (the
"Plan") as of January 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits for the year ended January 31, 2009. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Tiffany & Co.
Employee Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan as of January 31, 2009 and
2008, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year
ended January 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the 2009 basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the 2009 basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

EMPLOYEE PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_________________
A. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
-------------------
The following description of the Tiffany & Co. Employee Profit Sharing
and Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general
informational purposes only. Participants should refer to the Summary
Plan Description or the Plan document for complete information.
General
-------
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible
employees of Tiffany & Co. (the "Company") and its U.S. subsidiaries
and has an employee profit-sharing feature ("ESOP"). Effective
February 1, 2006, the Plan was amended to provide a defined
contribution retirement benefit (the "DCRB") to eligible employees
hired on or after January 1, 2006.
The assets of the Plan are maintained and transactions therein are
executed by DWS Trust Company (formerly known as Scudder Trust
Company), the trustee of the Plan ("Trustee"), an affiliate of
Deutsche Bank, Inc. The Plan record keeper is ADP Retirement Services.
The Plan is administered by the Employee Profit Sharing and Retirement
Savings Plan Committee ("Plan Committee") appointed by the Board of
Directors of the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
Eligibility
-----------
Employees automatically become participants in the ESOP feature of the
Plan on the February 1st immediately following their initial date of
employment. Employees become eligible and are automatically enrolled
in the 401(k) feature immediately following their initial date of
employment provided the employee is scheduled to work thirty-five or
more hours per week on a non-temporary basis, or an employee completes
one year of service. Employees may opt-out of 401(k) participation at
any time. A year of service is determined by reference to the date on
which the participant's employment commenced or recommenced and
consists of 12 consecutive-month periods, commencing with such date,
during which the employee has attained at least 1,000 hours of
service. Officers of the Company (those subject to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) do not share in contributions made
under the ESOP feature of the Plan.
Contributions
-------------
The ESOP feature of the Plan is non-contributory on the part of
participating employees and is funded by Company contributions of
shares of Tiffany & Co. common stock. Employees who have two or more
years of service can diversify his or her ESOP contribution into other
investment options provided under the Plan. Company contributions to
the ESOP, if any, are based upon the achievement of certain targeted
earnings objectives by the Company and established by the Board of
Directors of the Company in accordance with, and subject to, the terms
and limitations of the Plan. Employees must be employed by the Company
on the last day of the year and have at least 1,000 hours of
employment during the year to receive the ESOP contribution.
The 401(k) feature of the Plan is funded by both employee and employer
contributions. With respect to employee contributions, participants
may elect, in one percent increments, to have an amount of between one
(1) and fifteen (15) percent of their annual compensation, not to
exceed $15,500 in 2008 (or $20,500 for individuals over 50 years of
age), subject to an annual inflation adjustment, contributed to the
401(k)
6
feature of the Plan as a tax deferred contribution, subject to
certain limitations applicable to highly compensated employees.
Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions
from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans.
With respect to employer contributions, following the end of each Plan
year, a contribution may be made at the discretion of the Company to
the account of each employee who was a participant in the 401(k)
feature of the Plan as of the end of such Plan year. Such contribution
is equal to up to fifty percent (50%) of such participant's total
contributions to his or her account during that year, up to three
percent (3%) of such participant's compensation over that same year.
Employer contributions to a participant's account are allocated among
the various investment options in the same proportion as the
participant's own contributions.
Under certain circumstances, employee contributions and employer
matching contributions may be limited in the case of highly
compensated employees.
The DCRB feature of the Plan is non-contributory on the part of
participating employees and is funded by employer contributions,
following the end of each Plan year, to be invested in a manner
similar to the 401(k) retirement savings portion of the Plan. Employer
contributions are determined by a formula using the participant's
eligible compensation, age and years of service.
Participant Accounts
--------------------
Each participant's 401(k) and DCRB account is credited with the
participant's contribution, if applicable, and employer contributions,
and an allocation of each selected fund's earnings, including
interest, dividends and net realized and unrealized appreciation in
the fair value of investments. Each participant's account is also
charged an allocation of net realized and unrealized depreciation in
the fair value of investments and investment-related expenses. The
benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
provided from the participant's vested account. Allocations are based
on participant account balances.
The Company's contribution for each Plan year under the ESOP feature
of the Plan is allocated to participants' accounts on an equal basis.
Vesting
-------
All amounts contributed by employees under the 401(k) feature of the
Plan are immediately 100% vested and non-forfeitable at all times.
Employer contributions under the 401(k) feature of the Plan become
100% vested and non-forfeitable after the participant has completed
two years of service. Employer contributions under the DCRB feature of
the Plan become vested based on the following schedule:
Years of Service Vested Percentage
---------------- -----------------
Less than 2 years 0%
2 years or more 20%
3 years or more 40%
4 years or more 60%
5 years or more 80%
6 years or more 100%
Employees hired from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 will
become 100% vested in the DCRB benefit upon completing five (5) years
of service.
Contributions to participant accounts associated with the ESOP feature
of the Plan become 100% vested and non-forfeitable when the
participant has completed two years of service. A participant also
becomes vested in his or her ESOP account upon termination of
employment by reason of death, retirement or disability. For purposes
of the Plan, retirement is defined as termination of employment after
age 65.
7
In the event a participant leaves the Company prior to becoming fully
vested, the participant will forfeit the shares in his or her ESOP
account and such shares will remain in the Plan to be reallocated
ratably amongst the remaining participants in the Plan's ESOP feature
within the DWS Trust Co. Stable Value Fund. The participant will also
forfeit any assets in his or her 401(k) or DCRB account representing
unvested employer contributions and such assets will be made available
to offset required employer matching contributions to other
participants' accounts. Forfeitures relating to the ESOP feature of
the Plan totaled $108,588 and $43,851 for the years ended January 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Forfeitures of unvested employer
contributions in the 401(k) portion of the plan totaled $445,345 and
$171,373 at January 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Forfeitures of
$355,951 and $81,205 were used to reduce employer contributions, which
are made in the following year, for the years ended January 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively.
Administrative Expenses
-----------------------
Administrative fees relating to the administration of Tiffany & Co.
Common Stock are paid by Tiffany and Company. All other expenses are
charged against Plan assets.
Participant Loans and Withdrawals
---------------------------------
Participants may borrow from their 401(k) accounts up to a maximum
amount of no more than $50,000 or fifty percent (50%) of their total
vested 401(k) account balance and employer contributions. In fiscal
year 2009, the Plan was amended to permit up to two loans
simultaneously. All loans must be repaid within five years unless they
are used by the participant to purchase a primary residence. Loans are
collaterized by the balance in the participant's account and bear
interest at rates commensurate with prevailing market rates as
determined by the Plan administrator. Interest rates range from 4.25
percent to 10.50 percent. Principal and interest is paid ratably
through payroll deductions.
Participants may also obtain a cash withdrawal of all or a portion of
the value of their 401(k) account contributions (excluding employer
matching contributions and earnings on contributions) and their
rollover contributions, if any, on the basis of hardship as permitted
under the Plan.
Payment of Benefits
-------------------
Distributions of the participant's account may be made upon
retirement, death or disability, or upon termination of employment.
Participants will receive the full vested balance of their Plan
account in a lump sum cash distribution, except with respect to the
DCRB account which may be received in the form of either a lump sum or
ten substantially equal annual installments and with respect to whole
shares held in the ESOP feature of the Plan that are distributed in
the form of stock certificates. The balance of the participant's
Tiffany & Co. common stock fund account may also be distributed in the
form of stock certificates for whole shares if the participant so
elects. Subject to certain mandatory distribution provisions, in the
event of retirement, a participant may elect to defer his/her
distribution until the next Plan year thereby entitling the
participant to his or her proportionate share of the Company's
contribution to the ESOP feature of the Plan for the Plan year in
which the participant retired. In the event of a participant's death,
the distribution of the participant's account balance will be made to
the participant's designated beneficiary or the participant's estate,
if no beneficiary has been so designated.
Voting Rights
-------------
Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to
the shares of Tiffany & Co. Common Stock allocated to his or her
account and is notified by the Trustee prior to the time that such
rights are to be exercised. The Trustee is not permitted to vote any
allocated share for which instructions have not been given by a
participant.

B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Basis of Accounting
-------------------
The Plan's financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Payment of Benefits
-------------------
Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.
New Accounting Standard
-----------------------
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157,
"Fair Value Measurements" which establishes a framework for measuring
fair value of assets and liabilities and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting
from the application of SFAS No. 157 relate to the definition of fair
value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008,
the FASB deferred the implementation of the provisions of SFAS No. 157
relating to nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets
that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in 2008 did not
have a material impact on the Plan's financial position or earnings
(see Note D).
Investment Valuation
--------------------
Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value as determined by
quoted market prices based on the net asset value of shares held by
the Plan at year-end. Investments in Tiffany & Co. common stock are
stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices as of the
last day of the Plan year. Investments in common and collective trusts
are valued based on the net asset values reported by the trustee of
the funds which are based on quoted prices for identical or similar
assets in markets that are not active.Participant loans are valued at
their outstanding balance, which approximates fair value.
The Plan offers the DWS Trust Co. Stable Value Fund which fully
invests its funds into the Pyramid Stable Value Fund. The Pyramid
Stable Value Fund invests in one or more agreements, collectively
referred to as general account guaranteed investment contracts
("GICs") issued by banks, insurance companies or other financial
institutions. The Pyramid Stable Value Fund may also invest in one or
more separate account guaranteed investment contracts or in a
portfolio of marketable fixed income securities and other financial
instruments in order to provide book value liquidity for portfolio
securities sold to make participant-directed withdrawals. The
contracts are fully benefit-responsive and are recorded at fair value
and adjusted to contract value in accordance with FASB Staff Position
("FSP") AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, "Reporting of Fully
Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment
Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and
Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans." As
described in the FSP, investment contracts held by a
defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.
However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that
portion of the net assets available for benefits of a
defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive
investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants
would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under
the terms of the Plan.
The Plan presents, in the statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits, the net appreciation/(depreciation) in the fair value of
its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and
the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on those investments.
9
Purchases and Sales of Investments
----------------------------------
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income
is recorded when earned. Cost of securities sold is determined by
specific identification method.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
C. INVESTMENTS
-----------
Investments that were equal to or exceeded 5% of the current value of
the Plan's net assets at January 31, 2009 or 2008 were as follows:
January 31,

As of January 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 2,954 shares totaling
$61,295 and 2,857 shares totaling $113,694, respectively, of Tiffany &
Co. common stock that were non-participant directed.
The net depreciation in the fair value of investments for the year
ended January 31, 2009 was as follows:
Common and collective trusts $ (9,042,003)
Mutual funds (44,922,686)
Tiffany & Co. common stock (35,763,890)
Tiffany & Co. common stock (ESOP) * (131,927)
-------------------
Net depreciation in the fair value of investments $ (89,860,506)
===================
* Non-participant directed.
D. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
-----------------------
The Plan adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," effective
February 1, 2008, with respect to fair value measurements of financial
assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value
in the Plan's financial statements on a recurring basis (at least
annually).
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be
received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)
in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy
which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use
10
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard
describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that
are corroborated by market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity's own
assumptions.
Refer to Note B for the valuation method used to fair value plan
assets.
The following table provides information by level for assets that are
measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Common and collective trusts 59,593,412 - 59,593,412 -
Participant loans 6,205,742 - - 6,205,742
Additionally, for the year ended January 31, 2009, the total amount of
Participant loans was $6,205,742 which is classified as Level 3 Plan
assets. This includes transfers in of $3,070,282 and a net decrease of
$3,429,855 for issuances and settlements.
E. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
------------------------------
Certain Plan investments include common and collective trusts and
mutual funds managed by DWS Trust Company, Inc., the Plan Trustee.
Therefore, investment transactions in such common and collective
trusts and mutual funds are considered to be exempt party-in-interest
transactions under the Department of Labor's rules and regulations.
Additionally, investments of the Plan include common stock of Tiffany
& Co., the Plan sponsor.
F. TAX STATUS
----------
The Plan has received a favorable letter of determination from the
Internal Revenue Service for all changes to the Plan through April 14,
2008. The Plan has been amended since receiving this determination
letter and a request for an updated determination letter has been
submitted to the Internal Revenue Service. However, it is the belief
of the plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel that the Plan is
currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no
provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying
financial statements.
G. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND MARKET RISK
---------------------------------------
The Plan provides for various investment options in any one or a
combination of Tiffany and Co. common stock, common and collective
trusts and mutual funds that invest in a variety of stocks, bonds,
fixed income securities and other investment securities. Investment
securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market
and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes
in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially
affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits.
11
H. PLAN TERMINATION
----------------
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Board of
Directors of the Company reserves the right to change, amend or
terminate the Plan at any time at its discretion, subject to the
provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated, participants
will become 100% vested in their accounts. In addition, in the event
of the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the
Company, the Plan will automatically terminate and the Plan's assets
will be liquidated unless the Plan is continued by a successor to the
Company.
