BusinessBusiness OverviewOne of the original off-price retailers, tuesday Morning is a leading destination for unique home and lifestyle goods. We were established in 1974 andspecialize in name-brand, better/best products for the home. We are known for irresistible finds at an incredible value and search the world for amazing deals tobring to our customers.We are a true closeout retailer, selling high-quality products at prices below those found in boutique, specialty and department stores. Our customers cometo us for an ever-changing, exceptional assortment of brand names at great prices. Our primary merchandise categories are luxury home textiles, home furnishings,housewares and seasonal décor. Key vendors are Peacock alley, Sferra, lenox, Waterford, hartmann, home environment, and charisma. We buy our inventoryopportunistically from a variety of sources including direct from manufacturer, through closeout sellers and occasionally other retailers. We have strong supplierrelationships and we make it easy for our vendors to do business with us, so they often come to us first. Our goods are deeply-discounted, but never seconds orirregulars.Our customer is a savvy shopper with a discerning taste for quality at a value. Our strong value proposition has established a loyal customer base, who weengage regularly with social media, email, direct mail, digital media and newspaper circulars.With over 700 stores across the country, we are in the neighborhood in convenient, accessible locations. Our store layout is clean and simple, and the low-frills environment means we can pass even deeper savings on to our dedicated customer base. Our stores operate in both primary and secondary locations of majorsuburban markets, near our middle and upper‑income customers. We are generally able to obtain favorable lease terms due to our flexibility regarding site selectionand our straightforward format, allowing us to use a wide variety of space configurations.We operate our business as a single operating segment. Business StrategySeveral years ago, we began a transformation of our company in order to regain our position as a leader in off‑price retail. We executed on a number ofcritical steps under our business turnaround strategy. these steps included exiting certain categories, refreshing and reorganizing stores, reducing the level ofclearance merchandise, modifying company policies, and eliminating assets that were no longer needed. During this phase, we took specific steps to improve ourinventory management process, sourcing of inventory, merchandise offerings and sales productivity.in fiscal year 2014, we moved into our rebuilding phase, in which we have focused on supply chain efficiency, working capital management and inventoryturns, repositioning our real estate portfolio, marketing strategy, continued improvement of our merchandise assortment, cost controls and infrastructure.as a key component of this rebuilding phase, we are focused on improving store locations and the in-store experience for our customers. in this regard, weare closing less productive stores with limited foot traffic and relocating some of these stores to, or opening new stores in, better locations with footprints that areon average three to five thousand square feet larger. in some cases, we are also expanding existing stores to this larger footprint. in addition, we are improving thefinishes in these relocated, new and expanded stores, such as polished concrete floors, simple but attractive fixture packages and new lighting and color palettes, inan effort to match the in-store experience for our customers with the quality of our products.Competition & SeasonalityWe believe the principal factors by which we compete are brand names, price and breadth of product offerings. Our prices are generally below departmentstores and specialty and on‑line retailer prices and we offer a broad assortment of high‑end, first quality, brand-name merchandise. We currently compete against adiverse group of retailers, including department, discount and specialty stores, e‑commerce and catalog retailers and mass merchants, which sell, among otherproducts, home furnishings, housewares and related products. We also compete in particular markets with a substantial number of retailers that specialize in one ormore types of home furnishing and houseware products that we sell. Some of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources that may, among otherthings, increase their ability to purchase inventory at lower costs or to initiate and sustain aggressive price competition.Our business is subject to seasonality, with a higher level of our net sales and operating income generated during the quarter ending December 31, whichincludes the holiday shopping season. net sales in the quarters ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 accounted for approximately 34%, 33% and 33% of ourannual net sales for 2017, 2016 and 2015 fiscal years, respectively.5 Working Capital ItemsBecause of the seasonal nature of our business, our working capital needs are greater in the months leading up to our peak sales period from thanksgivingto the end of December. the increase in working capital needs during this time is typically financed with cash flow provided by operations and our revolving creditfacility. additional details are provided in the liquidity and capital Resources section in item 7, Management’s Discussion and analysis of Financial conditionand Results of Operations.inventory is the largest asset on our balance sheet. efficient inventory management is a key component of our business success and profitability. to besuccessful, we must maintain sufficient inventory levels to meet our customers’ demands while keeping the inventory fresh and turning the inventory appropriatelyto optimize profitability.PurchasingWe provide an outlet for manufacturers and other sources looking for effective ways to reduce excess inventory resulting from order cancellations byretailers, manufacturing overruns, bankruptcies and excess capacity. Since our inception, we have not experienced significant difficulty in obtaining first quality,brand-name off‑price merchandise in adequate volumes and at competitive prices. We utilize a mix of both domestic and international suppliers. We pay oursuppliers timely and generally do not request special consideration for markdowns, advertising or returns. During fiscal 2017, our top ten vendors accounted forapproximately 12% of total purchases, with no single vendor accounting for more than 3% of total purchases.Low Cost Operationsit is our goal to operate with a low cost structure in comparison to many other retailers. We place great emphasis on expense management throughout thecompany. Our stores have a “no frills” format and we are flexible in our site selection in order to maintain favorable lease terms.Customer Shopping ExperienceWhile we offer a “no frills” format in our stores, we have made progress in reorganizing and refreshing our stores to enhance our customers’ shoppingexperience. We offer a flexible return policy and we accept all major payment methods including cash, checks and all major credit cards. We continue to work oninitiatives we believe will enhance our customers’ shopping experience.DistributionWe utilize 1.4 million square feet of distribution center facilities in Dallas, texas and a 0.6 million square foot distribution center in Phoenix, arizona whichservice all of our stores throughout the United States. the Phoenix distribution center commenced operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. During fiscal2017, we incurred incremental costs related to the continued integration of the Phoenix facility with our multi-distribution center network which adverselyimpacted gross margin. net sales during fiscal 2017 were negatively impacted by lower than plan store level inventories for a portion of the year due to the supplychain challenges we experienced during the year. We shipped approximately 116 million units to our stores during fiscal 2017.PricingOur pricing policy is to sell merchandise generally below retail prices charged by department stores and specialty and on‑line retailers. Prices aredetermined centrally and are uniform at all of our stores. Once a price is determined for a particular item, labels displaying two‑tiered pricing are affixed to theproduct. a typical price tag displays a “compare at” price, and “Our Price”. Our buyers determine and verify retail “compare at” prices by reviewing pricespublished in advertisements, catalogs, on‑line and manufacturers’ suggested retail price lists and by visiting department or specialty stores selling similarmerchandise. Our information systems provide daily sales and inventory information, which enables us to evaluate our prices and inventory levels and to adjustprices on unsold merchandise in a timely manner and on a periodic basis as dictated by sales volumes and incoming purchases, thereby effectively managing ourinventory levels and offering competitive pricing.Employeesas of June 30, 2017, we employed 1,834 persons on a full‑time basis and 7,044 persons on a part‑time basis. Our employees are not represented by anylabor unions. We have not experienced any work stoppage due to labor disagreements, and we believe that our employee relations are strong.6 Intellectual Propertythe trade name “tuesday Morning” is material to our business. We have registered the name “tuesday Morning” as a service mark with the United StatesPatent and trademark office. We have also registered other trademarks including but not limited to “tuesday Morning Perks ® ”. Solely for convenience,trademarks and trade names referred to in this Form 10‑K may appear without the ® or tm symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, thatwe will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights, or the rights of the applicable licensor, to these trademarks and trade names.Corporate Informationtuesday Morning corporation is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1991. Our principal executive offices are located at 6250 lBJ Freeway, Dallas,texas 75240, and our telephone number is (972) 387‑3562.We maintain a website at www.tuesdaymorning.com . copies of our annual Reports on Form 10‑K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10‑Q, current Reports onForm 8‑K and any amendments to such reports filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and exchange commission (the “Sec”) are available free of charge on ourwebsite under the investor Relations section as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such reports and amendments with, or furnish them to, theSec.the reports we file or furnish to the Sec may be read and copied at the Sec’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, ne, Washington, D.c. 20549.information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the Sec at 1‑800‑Sec‑0330. in addition, the Sec maintains a website,www.sec.gov , which contains the reports, proxy and information statements and other information which we file with, or furnish to, the Sec.Stores and Store OperationsStore Locations. as of June 30, 2017, we operated 731 stores in the following 40 states: State # of Stores State # of Stores alabama 23 Missouri 18 arizona 23 nebraska 4 arkansas 12 nevada 6 california 57 new Jersey 11 colorado 20 new Mexico 7 Delaware 3 new york 11 Florida 62 north carolina 28 Georgia 33 north Dakota 1 idaho 5 Ohio 23 illinois 15 Oklahoma 12 indiana 14 Oregon 13 iowa 5 Pennsylvania 21 Kansas 9 South carolina 20 Kentucky 13 South Dakota 1 louisiana 18 tennessee 22 Maryland 15 texas 109 Massachusetts 2 Utah 6 Michigan 9 Virginia 35 Minnesota 9 Washington 14 Mississippi 14 Wisconsin 8 Site Selection . We continually evaluate our current store base for potential enhancement or relocation of our store locations. as a result of this ongoingevaluation, we intend to pursue attractive relocation opportunities in our existing store base, close certain stores by allowing leases to expire for underperformingstores or where alternative locations in similar trade areas are not available at acceptable lease rates, and, when appropriate, open new stores. For both new storesand relocations, we negotiate for upgraded sites. We believe that this strategy will better position us for long‑term profitable growth. We expect to upgrade both theappearance and operation of our new and relocated stores compared to our existing stores and do not anticipate difficulty in locating additional store locations inareas with our target customer demographics.7 Store Leases. except for one store adjacent to our existing distribution center in Dallas, texas, we lease our store locations under operating leases thattypically include renewal options. Some of our leases also provide for contingent rent based upon store sales exc eeding stipulated amounts.Our store leases typically include “kick clauses,” which allow us, at our option, to exit the lease with no penalty 24 to 60 months after entering into the leaseif store sales do not reach a stipulated amount stated in the lease. these kick clauses provide us with flexibility in opening new stores and relocating existing storesby allowing us to quickly and cost‑effectively vacate a site that does not meet our sales expectations. as a result, we generally do not operate locations withcontinued store‑level operating losses.Store Layout. Our site selection process and “no frills” approach to presenting merchandise allow us to use a wide variety of space configurations. the sizeof our stores ranges from approximately 5,000 to 30,900 square feet, averaging on a per store basis approximately 11,500 square feet as of June 30,2017. historically, we have designed our stores to be functional, with less emphasis placed upon fixtures and leasehold aesthetics. With our current real estatestrategy, we continue to be focused on designing a very functional, easy to shop environment that also highlights the quality of the merchandise. We display allmerchandise on counters, shelves, or racks while maintaining minimum inventory in our stockrooms.Store Operations. Our stores are generally open seven days a week, excluding certain holidays. We continue to maintain the frequency of shipments ofmerchandise which results in improved efficiency of receiving and restocking activities at our stores. We attempt to align our part‑time employees’ labor hourswith anticipated workload and with current customer sales. We conduct annual physical counts of our store merchandise staggered throughout the second half ofour fiscal year, primarily when stores are closed.Store Management. each store has a manager who is responsible for recruiting, training and supervising store personnel and assuring that the store ismanaged in accordance with our established guidelines and procedures. Store managers are full‑time employees. Our store managers are supported by district andregional level support. Store managers are responsible for centrally-directed store disciplines and routines. the store manager is assisted primarily by part‑timeemployees who generally serve as assistant managers and cashiers, and help with merchandise stocking efforts. Members of our management visit selected storesperiodically to review inventory levels and presentation, personnel performance, expense controls, security and adherence to our policies and procedures. inaddition, district and regional field managers periodically meet with senior management to review store policies and discuss purchasing, merchandising, advertisingand other operational issues.Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur business is subject to significant risks, including the risks and uncertainties described below. these risks and uncertainties and the other information inthis Form 10‑K, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements, should be carefully considered. if any of the events describedbelow actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected in a material way.Risks Related to Our BusinessWe may not be successful in the implementation of our long‑‑term business strategy, which could adversely affect our business and our results of operations.Our success depends, to a significant degree, on our ability to successfully implement our long‑term business strategy. Our ability to successfully implementour business strategies depends upon a significant number of factors, including but not limited to: •our ability to access an adequate supply of top‑quality merchandise from suppliers at a competitive price; •our ability to deliver profitable sales; •our ability to make adjustments as market conditions change; •customer acceptance of our marketing and merchandise strategies; •our ability to respond to competitive pressures in our industry; •the ability of our management team to properly respond to the dynamics and demands of our market; •our ability to achieve positive cash flow, particularly during our peak inventory build‑ups in advance of the holiday selling season; and •our employees’ ability to adapt to our new strategic initiatives.8 Changes in economic and political conditions may adversely affect consumer spending, which could significantly harm our business, results of operations,cash flows and financial condition.the success of our business depends, to a significant extent, upon the level of consumer spending. a number of factors beyond our control affect the level ofconsumer spending on merchandise that we offer, including, among other things: •general economic and industry conditions; •unemployment; •the housing market; •deterioration in consumer confidence; •crude oil prices that affect gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as, increases in other fuels used to support utilities; •efforts by our customers to reduce personal debt levels; •availability of consumer credit; •interest rates; •fluctuations in the financial markets; •tax rates and policies; •war, terrorism and other hostilities; and •consumer confidence in future economic conditions.the merchandise we sell generally consists of discretionary items. Reduced consumer confidence and spending cut backs may result in reduced demand forour merchandise, including discretionary items, and may force us to take significant inventory markdowns. Reduced demand also may require increased selling andpromotional expenses. adverse economic conditions and any related decrease in consumer demand for our merchandise could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.Any failure to identify and respond to changes in consumer trends and preferences could significantly harm our business.the retail home furnishings and housewares industry is subject to sudden shifts in consumer trends and consumer spending. Our sales and results ofoperations depend in part on our ability to predict or respond to changes in trends and consumer preferences in a timely manner. although our business modelallows us greater flexibility than many traditional retailers to meet consumer preferences and trends, we may not successfully do so. any sustained failure toanticipate, identify and respond to emerging trends in consumer preferences could negatively affect our business and results of operations.We must continuously attract buying opportunities for off‑‑price merchandise and anticipate consumer demand as off‑‑price merchandise becomes available,and our failure to do so could adversely affect our performance.By their nature, specific off‑price merchandise items are available from manufacturers or vendors generally on a non‑recurring basis. as a result, we do nothave long‑term contracts with our vendors for supply, pricing or access to products, but make individual purchase decisions, which may be for large quantities. Dueto economic uncertainties, some of our manufacturers and suppliers may cease operations or may otherwise become unable to continue supplying off‑pricemerchandise on terms acceptable to us. We cannot assure that manufacturers or vendors will continue to make off‑price merchandise available to us in quantitiesacceptable to us or that our buyers will continue to identify and take advantage of appropriate buying opportunities. in addition, if we misjudge consumer demandfor products, we may significantly overstock unpopular products and be forced to take significant markdowns and miss opportunities to sell more popular products.an inability to acquire suitable off‑price merchandise in the future or to accurately anticipate consumer demand for such merchandise would have an adverse effecton our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.Our results of operations will be negatively affected if we are not successful in managing our inventory profitably.inventory is the largest asset on our balance sheet and represented approximately 62% and 67% of our total assets at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.efficient inventory management is a key component of our business success and profitability. to be successful, we must maintain sufficient inventory levels tomeet our customers’ demands without allowing those levels to increase to such an extent that the costs to store and hold the goods unduly impact our financialresults. if our buying decisions do not accurately9 predict customer trends or purchasing actions, we may have to take unanticipated markdowns to dispose of the exce ss inventory, which also can adversely impactour financial results. We continue to focus on ways to reduce these risks, but we cannot assure that we will be successful in our inventory management. if we arenot successful in managing our inventory balance s, our results of operations may be negatively affected. We have recorded significant inventory write ‑downsfrom time to time in the past and there can be no assurances that we will not record additional inventory charges in the future.Our results of operations will be negatively affected if we are unsuccessful in managing our supply chain operations.With few exceptions, all inventory is shipped directly from suppliers either to our distribution center in the Dallas, texas metropolitan area, or our Phoenixdistribution center, where the inventory is then processed, sorted and shipped to our stores. We depend in large part on the orderly operation of this receiving anddistribution process, which depends, in turn, on adherence to shipping schedules and effective management of the distribution center. We may not anticipate all ofthe changing demands which our expanding operations will impose on our receiving and distribution system. We may also experience increased costs in continuingto integrate the Phoenix distribution center with our existing distribution operations.The loss of, disruption in the operation of, or increased costs in the operation of our distribution center facilities would have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness and operations.events beyond our control, such as disruptions in operations due to fire or other catastrophic events, labor disagreements or shipping problems, may result indelays in the delivery of merchandise to our stores. We also cannot assure that our insurance will be sufficient, or that insurance proceeds will be timely paid to us,in the event a distribution center is shut down for any reason.The unplanned loss or departure of one or more members of our senior management or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness.Our future performance will depend in large part upon the efforts and abilities of our senior management and other key employees. the loss of service ofthese persons could have a material adverse effect on our business and future prospects. We do not maintain key person life insurance for our senior management.in addition, we have recently experienced turnover of a number of members of senior management. We cannot provide any assurance that we will not experiencefuture turnover related to our senior management team.Our business is intensely competitive, and a number of different competitive factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,cash flows and financial condition.the retail home furnishings and housewares industry is intensely competitive. as an off‑price retailer of home furnishings and housewares, we currentlycompete against a diverse group of retailers, including department stores and discount stores, specialty, on‑line, and catalog retailers and mass merchants, whichsell, among other products, home furnishing, houseware and related products similar and often identical to those we sell. We also compete in particular marketswith a substantial number of retailers that specialize in one or more types of home furnishing and houseware products that we sell. Many of these competitors havesubstantially greater financial resources that may, among other things, increase their ability to purchase inventory at lower costs or to initiate and sustain aggressiveprice competition.a number of different competitive factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition,including: •increased operational efficiencies of competitors; •competitive pricing strategies, including deep discount pricing by a broad range of retailers during periods of poor consumer confidence or economicuncertainty; •continued and prolonged promotional activity by competitors; •liquidation sales by a number of our competitors who have filed or may file in the future for bankruptcy; •expansion by existing competitors; •entry of new competitors into markets in which we currently operate; and •adoption by existing competitors of innovative store formats or retail sales methods.We cannot assure that we will be able to continue to compete successfully with our existing or new competitors, or that prolonged periods of deep discountpricing by our competitors will not materially harm our business. We compete for customers, employees, locations, merchandise, services and other importantaspects of our business with many other local, regional, national and10 international retailers. We also face competition from alternative retail distribution channels such as catalo gs and, increasingly, e ‑commerce websites and mobiledevice applications . changes in the merchandising, pricing and promotional activities of those competitors, and in the retail industry, in general, may adverselyaffect our performance.If we are unable to successfully execute our strategy of relocating and expanding existing stores and when appropriate, opening new stores, our operatingperformance could be adversely impacted.as part of our business strategy, we intend to pursue relocation opportunities to improve our existing store base as well as open new stores that will offsetthe closing of lower performing stores as they come up for renewal. however, we cannot assure that we will be able to achieve our relocation goals or that we willbe able to operate any new or relocated stores profitably. Further, we cannot assure that any new or relocated store will achieve similar operating results to those ofour existing stores or that new, relocated or expanded stores opened in markets in which we operate will not have a material adverse effect on the net sales andprofitability of our existing store base.the success of our store development strategy will be dependent upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following: •the ability of our personnel to adequately analyze and identify suitable markets and individual store sites within those markets; •the competition for suitable store sites; •our ability to negotiate favorable lease terms with landlords; •our ability to obtain governmental and other third‑party consents, permits and licenses needed to operate our stores; •the availability of employees to staff new stores and our ability to hire, train, motivate and retain store personnel; •the availability of adequate management and financial resources to properly manage a large volume of stores; •our ability to adapt our distribution and other operational and management systems to a changing network of stores; •our ability to attract customers and generate sales sufficient to operate new, relocated or expanded stores profitably; •our ability to renew existing leases; and •our ability to successfully negotiate the termination of leases without significant negative financial impact.While we opened stores in existing markets during fiscal 2017, 2016, and 2015, we also opened stores in new markets during that time period. thesemarkets may have different competitive conditions, consumer trends and discretionary spending patterns than our existing markets, which may cause our newstores in these markets to be less successful than stores in our existing markets.Increases in fuel prices and changes in transportation industry regulations or conditions may increase our freight costs and thus our cost of sales, which couldhave a material adverse effect on our business and operations.Our freight costs are impacted by changes in fuel prices through surcharges. Fuel prices and surcharges affect freight costs both on inbound freight fromvendors to our distribution centers and outbound freight from our distribution centers to our stores. in addition, the U.S. government requires drivers ofover‑the‑road trucks to take certain rest periods which reduces the available amount of time they can drive during a 24‑hour period. changes in trucking industryconditions, such as truck driver shortages and highway congestion, could increase freight costs. high fuel prices or surcharges, as well as stringent driverregulations and changes in transportation industry conditions, may increase freight costs and thereby increase our cost of sales.If we are not able to generate strong cash flows from our operations or to continue to access credit markets, we will not be able to support capital expansion,operations or debt repayment.Our business is dependent upon our operations generating strong cash flows to support capital expansion requirements and general operating activities. inaddition, we have a credit agreement providing for a revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $180.0 million. the revolving credit facility contains certainrestrictive covenants, and if borrowing availability falls below certain thresholds, a financial covenant. if we are unable to comply with the revolving credit facility,we may not be able to obtain an alternate source of funding on satisfactory terms, if at all. Our inability to continue to generate sufficient cash flows to supportthese activities or the lack of availability of financing in adequate amounts and on appropriate terms could adversely affect our financial performance.11 An increase in the cost or a disruption in the flow of our imported products may significantly decrease our sales and profits.Merchandise manufactured and imported from overseas represents the majority of our total product purchases acquired both domestically andinternationally. a disruption in the shipping of imported merchandise or an increase in the cost of those products may significantly decrease our sales and profits. inaddition, if imported merchandise becomes more expensive or unavailable, the transition to alternative sources may not occur in time to meet our demands.Products from alternative sources may also be of lesser quality and more expensive than those we currently import.Risks associated with our reliance on imported products include disruptions in the shipping and importation or increases in the costs of imported productsbecause of factors such as: •raw material shortages; •work stoppages; •strikes and political unrest; •problems with oceanic shipping, including shipping container shortages; •increased customs inspections of import shipments or other factors causing delays in shipments; •merchandise quality or safety issues; •economic crises; •international disputes, wars, and terrorism; •loss of “most favored nation” trading status by the United States in relation to a particular foreign country; •natural disasters; •import duties; •foreign government regulations; •import quotas and other trade sanctions; and •increases in shipping rates.the products we buy abroad are sometimes priced in foreign currencies and, therefore, we are affected by fluctuating exchange rates. We might not be ableto successfully protect ourselves in the future against currency rate fluctuations, and our financial performance could suffer as a result.Changes to federal tax policy may adversely impact our operations and financial performance.the U.S. federal government is analyzing comprehensive tax reform options that could negatively impact companies that directly or indirectly importgoods. Major developments in tax policy or trade relations, such as the disallowance of tax deductions for imported merchandise or the imposition of unilateraltariffs on imported products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Our success depends upon our marketing, advertising and promotional efforts. If we are unable to implement them successfully, or if our competitors are moreeffective than we are, our results of operations may be adversely affected.We use marketing and promotional programs to attract customers to our stores and to encourage purchases by our customers. We use various media for ourpromotional efforts, including print, database marketing, email, direct marketing, and other electronic communications such as online social networks. if we fail tochoose the appropriate medium for our efforts, or fail to implement and execute new marketing opportunities, our competitors may be able to attract some of ourcustomers and cause them to decrease purchases from us and increase purchases elsewhere, which would negatively impact our net sales. changes in the amountand degree of promotional intensity or merchandising strategy by our competitors could cause us to have some difficulties in retaining existing customers andattracting new customers.If we do not attract, train and retain quality employees in appropriate numbers, including key employees and management, our performance could be adverselyaffected.Our performance is dependent on recruiting, developing, training and retaining quality sales, distribution center and other employees in large numbers, aswell as, experienced buying and management personnel. Many of our employees are in entry level or12 part ‑time positions with historically high rates of turnover. Our ability to meet our labor needs while controlling costs is subject to external factors, such asunemployment levels, prevailing wage rates, minimum wage legislation , and changes in rules governing eligibility for overtime and changing dem ographics. inthe event of increasing wage rates, if we do not increase our wages competitively, our customer service could suffer because of a declining quality of ourworkforce, or our earnings would decrease if we increase our wage rates , whether in res ponse to market demands or new minimum wage legislation. changes thatadversely impact our ability to attract and retain quality employees and management personnel could adversely affect our performance.Our results of operations are subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or the marketprice of our common stock.Our business is subject to seasonality with a higher level of net sales and operating income generated during the quarter ended December 31, which includesthe holiday shopping season. net sales in the quarters ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 accounted for approximately 34%, 33% and 33% of our annualnet sales for 2017, 2016 and 2015 fiscal years, respectively. For more information about our seasonality, please read item 7 “Management’s Discussion andanalysis of Financial condition and Results of Operations—Quarterly Results and Seasonality.”Because a significant percentage of our net sales and operating income are generated in the quarter ending December 31, we have limited ability tocompensate for shortfalls in December quarter sales or earnings by changes in our operations or strategies in other quarters. a significant shortfall in results for thequarter ending December 31 of any year could have a material adverse effect on our annual results of operations and on the market price of our common stock. inaddition, in anticipation of higher sales during this period, we purchase substantial amounts of seasonal inventory and hire many temporary employees. an excessof seasonal merchandise inventory could result if our net sales during this principal selling season were to fall below either seasonal norms or expectations. if ourDecember quarter sales results are substantially below expectations, our financial performance and operating results could be adversely affected by unanticipatedmarkdowns, particularly in seasonal merchandise. lower than anticipated sales in the principal selling season would also negatively affect our ability to absorb theincreased seasonal labor costs.Our quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly based on additional factors, such as: •the timing of new store openings; •the amount of net sales contributed by new and existing stores; •the success of our store expansion and relocation program; •the timing of certain holidays and advertised events; •changes in our merchandise mix; •general economic, industry and weather conditions that affect consumer spending; and •actions of competitors, including promotional activity.these factors could also have a material adverse effect on our annual results of operations and on the market price of our common stock.If we are unable to maintain and protect our information technology systems and technologies, we could suffer disruptions in our business, damage to ourreputation, increased costs and liability, and obstacles to our growth.the operation of our business is heavily dependent upon the implementation, integrity, security, and successful functioning of our computer networks andinformation systems, including the point‑of‑sale systems in our stores, data centers that process transactions, and various software applications used in ouroperations. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from weather events, power outages, telecommunications or computer failures, computer viruses,security breaches, employee errors and similar occurrences. a failure of our systems to operate effectively as a result of damage to, interruption, or failure of any ofthese systems could result in data loss, a failure to meet our reporting obligations, or material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements, or causelosses due to disruption of our business operations and loss of customer confidence. these adverse situations could also lead to loss of sales or profits or cause us toincur additional repair, replacement and development costs. Our inability to improve our information technology systems and technologies may fail to support ourgrowth and may limit opportunities.13 If we fail to protect the security of information about our business and our customers, suppliers, business partners and employees, we could damage ourreputation and our business, incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation and government investigations and enforcement actions.in the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that ofour customers, suppliers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, on our computer networks and informationsystems. the secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations. Despite our security measures, our informationtechnology and infrastructure and that of our service providers may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or otherdisruptions. cyber threats are rapidly evolving and are becoming increasingly sophisticated. any such attack or breach could compromise our security and remainundetected for a period of time, and confidential information could be misappropriated, resulting in a loss of customers’, suppliers’, business partners’ oremployees’ personal information, negative publicity, harm to our business and reputation, and potentially causing us to incur costs to reimburse third parties fordamages and potentially subjecting us to government investigations and enforcement actions. in addition, the regulatory environment surrounding data andinformation security and privacy is increasingly demanding, as new and revised requirements are frequently imposed across our business. compliance with moredemanding privacy and information security laws and standards may result in significant expense due to increased investment in technology and the developmentof new operational processes, and implementing new initiatives could result in system disruptions. We maintain cyber risk insurance, but this insurance may not besufficient to cover all of our losses from any future breaches of our systems.We are subject to various government regulations, changes in the existing laws and regulations and new laws and regulations which may adversely affect ouroperations and financial performance.the development and operation of our stores are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in many areas of our business, including, butnot limited to, those that impose restrictions, levy a fee or tax, or require a permit or license, or other regulatory approval, and building and zoning requirements.Difficulties or failures in obtaining required permits, licenses or other regulatory approvals could delay or prevent the opening of a new store, and the suspensionof, or inability to renew, a license or permit could interrupt operations at an existing store. We are also subject to laws governing our relationship with employees,including minimum wage requirements, overtime, health insurance mandates, working and safety conditions, and immigration status requirements. in May 2016,the Department of labor released its final rule increasing the minimum salary that employees must be paid to qualify as exempt from the overtime requirementsunder the Fair labor Standards act, which will likely increase our labor costs. additionally, potential changes in federal labor laws, including “card check”regulations, could result in portions of our workforce being subjected to greater organized labor influence. this could result in an increase to our labor costs. asignificant portion of our store personnel are paid at rates related to the minimum wage established by federal, state and municipal law. additionally, we are subjectto certain laws and regulations that govern our handling of customers’ personal information. a failure to protect the integrity and security of our customers’personal information could expose us to private litigation and government investigations and enforcement actions, as well as materially damage our reputation withour customers. While we endeavor to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, governmental and regulatory bodies may change such laws and regulationsin the future which may require us to incur substantial cost increases. if we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we may be subject to varioussanctions, penalties or fines and may be required to cease operations until we achieve compliance which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidatedfinancial results and operations.We face litigation risks from customers, employees, and other third parties in the ordinary course of business.Our business is subject to the risk of litigation by customers, current and former employees, suppliers, stockholders and others through private actions, classactions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions, or other litigation. the outcome of litigation, particularly class action lawsuits and regulatory actions, isdifficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential lossrelating to such lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. the cost to defend future litigation may be significant. there may also be adversepublicity associated with litigation that could decrease customer acceptance of merchandise offerings, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether weare ultimately found liable.We face risks with respect to product liability claims and product recalls, which could adversely affect our reputation, our business, and our consolidatedresults of operations.We purchase merchandise from third parties and offer this merchandise to customers for sale. in addition, we currently expect to develop and manufacturecertain merchandise for sale, initially on a very limited basis. Merchandise could be subject to recalls and other actions by regulatory authorities. changes in lawsand regulations could also impact the type of merchandise we offer to customers. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, issues that result inrecalls of merchandise. in addition, individuals14 have asserted claims, and may in the future assert claims, that they ha ve sustained injuries from third ‑party merchandise offered by us, and we may be subject tofuture lawsuits relating to these claims. there is a risk that these claims or liabilities may exceed, or fall outside the scope of, our insurance coverage. any of t heissues mentioned above could result in damage to our reputation, diversion of development and management resources, or reduced sales and increased costs, any ofwhich could harm our business.Our stores may be adversely affected by local conditions, natural disasters, and other events.certain regions in which our stores are located may be subject to adverse local conditions, natural disasters, and other events. if severe weather, such asheavy snowfall or extreme temperatures, discourages or restricts customers in a particular region from traveling to our stores, our sales could be adversely affected.if severe weather conditions occur during the second quarter of our fiscal year, the adverse impact to our sales and profitability could be even greater than at othertimes during the year because we generate a significant portion of our sales and profits during these periods. natural disasters including tornados, hurricanes,floods, and earthquakes may damage our stores or other operations, which may adversely affect our financial results. additionally, demographic shifts in the areaswhere our stores are located could adversely impact our financial results and operations.Our results of operations may be negatively affected by inventory shrinkage.We are subject to the risk of inventory loss and theft. although our inventory shrinkage rates have not fluctuated significantly in recent years, we cannotassure that actual rates of inventory loss and theft in the future will be within our estimates or that the measures we are taking will effectively reduce the problem ofinventory shrinkage. although some level of inventory shrinkage is an unavoidable cost of doing business, if we were to experience higher rates of inventoryshrinkage or incur increased security costs to combat inventory theft, our results of operations could be affected adversely.Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by exposure to unexpected costs related to our insurance programs.Our insurance coverage is subject to deductibles, self-insured retentions, limits of liability and similar provisions that we believe are prudent based on ouroverall operations. We may incur certain types of losses that we cannot insure or which we believe are not economically reasonable to insure, such as losses due toacts of war, employee and certain other crime, and some natural disasters. if we incur these losses and they are material, our business could suffer. certain materialevents may result in sizable losses for the insurance industry and adversely impact the availability of adequate insurance coverage or result in excessive premiumincreases. to offset negative cost trends in the insurance market, we may elect to self-insure, accept higher deductibles or reduce the amount of coverage inresponse to these market changes. in addition, we self-insure a significant portion of expected losses under our workers’ compensation, general liability, includingautomobile, and group health insurance programs. Unanticipated changes in any applicable actuarial assumptions and management estimates underlying ourrecorded liabilities for these self-insured losses, including potential increases in medical and indemnity costs, could result in significantly different expenses thanexpected under these programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. although we continue to maintainproperty insurance for catastrophic events, we are self-insured for losses up to the amount of our deductibles. if we experience a greater number of self-insuredlosses than we anticipate, our financial performance could be adversely affected.Our sales depend on a volume of traffic to our stores, and a reduction in traffic to, or the closing of, anchor tenants and other destination retailers in theshopping centers in which our stores are located could significantly reduce our sales and leave us with excess inventory.Most of our stores are located in shopping centers that benefit from varied and complementary tenants, whether specialty or mass retailers, and otherdestination retailers and attractions to generate sufficient levels of consumer traffic near our stores. any decline in the volume of consumer traffic at shoppingcenters, whether because of consumer preferences to shop on the internet or at large warehouse stores, an economic slowdown, a decline in the popularity ofshopping centers, the closing of anchor stores or other destination retailers or otherwise, could result in reduced sales at our stores and leave us with excessinventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results or business.We are subject to customer payment-related risks that could increase operating costs or exposure to fraud or theft, subject us to potential liability andpotentially disrupt our business.We accept payments using a variety of methods, including cash, credit and debit cards, gift cards, gift certificates and store credits. acceptance of thesepayment options subjects us to rules, regulations, contractual obligations and compliance requirements, including payment network rules and operating guidelines,data security standards and certification requirements, and rules governing electronic funds transfers. in October 2015, the payment card industry shifted liabilityfor certain debit and credit card transactions to retailers who are not able to accept eMV chip technology transactions. any inability to accept eMV chiptechnology transactions may subject us to increased risk of liability for fraudulent transactions and may adversely affect our business and operating results.15 For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operatingcosts. We rely on third parties to provide pa yment processing services, including the processing of credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of electronic payment.if these companies become unable to provide these services to us, or if their systems are compromised, it could potentially disrupt our business. the paymentmethods that we offer also subject us to potential fraud and theft by criminals, who are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, seeking to obtain unauthorizedaccess to or exploit weaknesses that may exist in the payment systems. if we fail to comply with applicable rules or requirements for the payment methods weaccept, or if payment-related data is compromised due to a breach or misuse of data, we may be liable for costs incurred by payment card issuing banks and otherthird pa rties or subject to fines and higher transaction fees, or our ability to accept or facilitate certain types of payments may be impaired. in addition, ourcustomers could lose confidence in certain payment types, which may result in a shift to other payment types or potential changes to our payment systems that mayresult in higher costs. as a result, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. Risks Related to Our Common StockOur certificate of incorporation, and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without theconsent of our Board of Directors.Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management.these provisions include the following: •the ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of our common stock and preferred stock without stockholder approval (subject to applicablenaSDaQ requirements); •a requirement that stockholder meetings may only be called by our President, chief executive Officer, the chairman of the Board or at the writtenrequest of a majority of the directors then in office and not our stockholders; •a prohibition of cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect directorcandidates; •the ability of our Board of Directors to make, alter or repeal our bylaws without further stockholder approval; and •the requirement for advance notice for nominations for directors to our Board of Directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon bystockholders at stockholder meetings.Because we do not presently have any plans to pay dividends on our common stock, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock torealize a gain on their investment.We have not paid a regular cash dividend since 2008 and do not presently have any plans to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. accordingly,stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. this appreciation may not occur.The price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially over the past several years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future.From July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, the trading prices of our common stock ranged from a low of $1.60 per share to a high of $8.11 per share. We expectour stock to continue to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control, which have been included throughout thisannual Report on Form 10‑K. We may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or securities analysts at some time in the future, and our stock price coulddecline as well.Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Commentsnone.Item 2. PropertiesStores . We lease all of our stores from unaffiliated third parties, except one company‑owned store located adjacent to our existing distribution facility in Dallas,texas. a description of the location of our stores is provided in item 1, “Business—Stores and Store Operations.” at June 30, 2017, the remaining terms of themajority of our store leases range from one month to five years. the16 average initial term of store lease s executed under our new real estate strategy is approximately ten years, typically with options available for renewal. We intendto continue to lease all of our new stores from unaffiliated third parties. Our store leases typically include “kick clauses,” which allow us, at o ur option, to exit thelease with no penalty 24 to 60 months after entering into the lease if store sales do not reach a stipulated amount stated in the lease.Distribution Facilities and Corporate Headquarters . We own a 104,675 square foot building which houses our corporate office in Dallas, texas. Our Dallas distribution center utilizes approximately 1.4 millionsquare feet of which 1.2 million square feet is owned and 0.2 million square feet, which we do not consider part of our long-term distribution network, is leasedthrough March 2018. During fiscal 2015, we executed a lease for approximately 0.6 million square feet related to our additional distribution center in Phoenix,arizona which started operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.We lease from unaffiliated third parties three parcels of land of approximately 400,250 square feet, for trailer storage and parking.We are continuing to evaluate our distribution network needs to accommodate our distribution requirements for our existing store base as well as for futuregrowth.Item 3. Legal ProceedingsFrom time to time, we are involved in litigation which is incidental to our business. in our opinion, no litigation to which we are currently a party is likely tohave a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosuresnot applicable. PART IIItem 5.

We do not presently haveplans to pay dividends on our common stock. Our revolving credit facility may, in some instances, limit our ability to pay cash dividends and repurchase ourcommon stock. additional details are provided in item 7, “Management’s Discussion and analysis of Financial condition and Results of Operations—liquidityand capital Resources—Revolving credit Facility.”17 Repurchases of Common EquityOn august 22, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase from time to time sharesof common Stock, up to a maximum of $5.0 million in aggregate purchase price for all such shares (the “Repurchase Program”). On January 20, 2012, our Boardof Directors increased the authorization for stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program from $5.0 million to a maximum of $10.0 million. the RepurchaseProgram does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. the Board will periodically evaluate the RepurchaseProgram and there can be no assurances as to the number of shares of common Stock we will repurchase.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsThe following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and relatednotes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10‑K.Overview •We are one of the original off-price retailers and a leading destination for unique home and lifestyle goods. We are a true closeout retailer, sellinghigh-quality products at prices below those found in boutique, specialty and department stores. Our customers come to us for an ever-changing,exceptional assortment of brand names at great prices. Our strong value proposition has established a loyal customer base, who we engage regularlywith social media, email, direct mail, digital media and newspaper circulars. •During fiscal 2017, we continued to implement our strategy of improving store locations and the in-store experience for our customers, whichincluded (i) closing less productive stores with limited foot traffic and relocating some of these stores to, or opening new stores in, better locationswith footprints that are on average three to five thousand square feet larger, (ii) expanding some existing stores to a larger footprint, and(iii) improving the finishes in these relocated, new and expanded stores. •We operated 731 stores in 40 states as of June 30, 2017. as part of the implementation of our real estate strategy, our store base decreased by 20stores in fiscal 2017, decreased by 18 stores in fiscal 2016, and decreased by 41 stores in fiscal 2015. We relocated 52 stores in fiscal 2017, 46 storesin fiscal 2016, and 30 stores in fiscal 2015. •For fiscal 2017, net sales were $966.7 million, an increase of 1.1% compared to fiscal 2016 net sales of $956.4 million, primarily due to an increasein sales from comparable stores (stores open at least one year, including stores relocated in the same market and renovated stores) of 2.2%. net salesduring fiscal 2017 were negatively impacted by lower than plan store level inventories for a portion of the year due to the supply chain challenges weexperienced during the year along with 20 fewer stores. the increase in comparable store sales was comprised of an increase in customertransactions of 3.4%, partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in average ticket. Sales at the 52 stores relocated during the past 12 months increasedapproximately 52% on average for fiscal 2017 as compared to last year and contributed approximately 290 basis points of comparable store salesgrowth. •cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, for fiscal 2017 was 66.8%, compared to 64.3% for fiscal 2016. •Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&a) increased $13.6 million to $353.0 million, from $339.4 million for fiscal 2016. •Our operating loss for fiscal 2017 was $32.3 million compared to operating income of $2.4 million for fiscal 2016. Our net loss for fiscal 2017 was$32.5 million, or diluted net loss per share of $0.74, compared to net income of $3.7 million, or diluted net income per share of $0.08, for fiscal2016. •Our fiscal 2017 results were adversely impacted by increased supply chain and freight costs, driven significantly by elevated costs resulting from oursupply chain issues experienced earlier in the year. •adjusted eBitDa for fiscal 2017 was negative $2.8 million compared to $30.3 million for fiscal 2016, as shown and further discussed under theheading “non-GaaP Financial Measures” below. •inventory levels at June 30, 2017 decreased $20.4 million to $221.9 million from $242.3 million at June 30, 2016. inventory turnover for the trailingfive quarters as of June 30, 2017 was 2.5 turns, consistent with the trailing five quarter turnover as of June 30, 2016 of 2.5 turns. •cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 decreased $7.9 million to $6.3 million from $14.2 million at June 30, 2016. We had borrowings of $30.5million under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2017. We had no borrowings at June 30, 2016.21 Results of Operationsthe following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected statement of operations data, expressed as a percentage of net sales, as well as the numberof stores open at the end of each period. there can be no assurance that the trends in sales or operating results will continue in the future. Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2015 net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%cost of sales 66.8 64.3 64.0 Gross margin 33.2% 35.7% 36.0%Selling, general and administrative expenses 36.5 35.5 34.7 Operating income/(loss) (3.3)% 0.2% 1.3%interest expense (0.2) (0.1) (0.2)Other income/(expense) 0.1 0.3 (0.1)income tax provision/(benefit) 0.0 0.0 0.0 net income/(loss) (3.4)% 0.4% 1.0%number of stores open at end of period 731 751 769 Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of wages and benefits, rent and occupancy costs, depreciation, advertising, store operatingexpenses and corporate office costs. While selling, general and administrative expense increases and decreases are generally attributable to changes in variableexpenses, higher rents, depreciation, and real estate project costs have increased as we continue to implement our store real estate strategy. Variable expensesinclude payroll and related benefits, advertising expense and other expenses such as credit card fees.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe define eBitDa as net income or net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. adjusted eBitDa reflects further adjustmentsto eBitDa to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash items and other items that we do not believe are representative of our core operatingperformance. these measures are not presentations made in accordance with GaaP. eBitDa and adjusted eBitDa should not be considered as alternatives tonet income or loss as a measure of operating performance. in addition, eBitDa and adjusted eBitDa are not presented as, and should not be considered asalternatives to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. eBitDa and adjusted eBitDa should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of ourresults as reported under GaaP and adjusted eBitDa should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by such adjustments. Webelieve it is useful for investors to see these eBitDa and adjusted eBitDa measures that management uses to evaluate our operating performance. these non-GaaP financial measures are included to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GaaP and because we use these measures to monitorand evaluate the performance of our business as a supplement to GaaP measures and we believe the presentation of these non-GaaP measures enhancesinvestors’ ability to analyze trends in our business and evaluate our performance. eBitDa and adjusted eBitDa are also frequently used by analysts, investorsand other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. the non-GaaP measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used byother companies. adjusted eBitDa. the following table reconciles net income/(loss), the most directly comparable GaaP financial measure, to adjusted eBitDa, a non-GaaP financial measure (in thousands): 22 twelve Months ended June 30, 2017 2016 net income/(loss) (GaaP) $(32,542) $3,713 Depreciation and amortization 21,349 16,010 interest expense, net 1,443 977 income tax provision 197 263 eBitDa (9,553) 20,963 Share-based compensation expense (1) 4,184 3,115 cease-use rent expense (2) 1,135 3,200 Phoenix distribution center related expenses (3) 2,196 4,457 Other strategic initiative related expenses (4) — 1,079 Gain on sale of assets (5) (741) (2,515)adjusted eBitDa (non-GaaP) $(2,779) $30,299 (1)charges related to share-based compensation programs, which vary from period to period depending on volume and vesting timing of awards. We adjust forthese charges to facilitate comparisons from period to period.(2)adjustment includes accelerated rent expense recognized in relation to closing stores prior to lease termination. While accelerated expense may occur infuture periods, the amount and timing of such expenses will vary from period to period.(3)adjustment includes only certain expenses related to the Phoenix distribution center preparation, ramp up and post go-live activities, including incrementaldetention costs and certain consulting costs. the prior year adjustment also includes rent and operating costs prior to operations commencing at thedistribution center.(4)adjustment includes certain expenses related to customer research, store prototype development, and an inventory management project.(5)adjustment includes the gain recognized from the sale leaseback transaction which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016net sales increased $10.3 million, or 1.1%, to $966.7 million in fiscal 2017 from $956.4 million in fiscal 2016, primarily due to a $19.7 million increase insales from comparable stores (stores open at least one year, including stores relocated in the same market and renovated stores) of 2.2%. net sales during fiscal2017 were negatively impacted by lower than plan store level inventories for a portion of the year due to the supply chain challenges we experienced during theyear, as well as 20 fewer stores. the increase in comparable store sales was comprised of an increase in customer transactions of 3.4%, offset by a decrease inaverage ticket of 1.2%. Our comparable store sales increase was partially offset by a decrease in our non-comparable store sales, which decreased a total of $9.5million, resulting in a 100 basis point negative impact on our increase in net sales. Sales at the 52 stores relocated during the past 12 months increasedapproximately 52% on average for fiscal 2017 as compared to last year and contributed approximately 290 basis points of comparable store sales growth. non-comparable store sales include the net effect of sales from new stores and sales from stores that have closed. the non-comparable store sales decrease was drivenby 41 store closures, partially offset by 21 store openings, which have occurred since the end of fiscal 2016.Gross profit for fiscal 2017 was $320.7 million, a decrease of 6.2% compared to $341.8 million for fiscal 2016. as a percentage of net sales, gross margindecreased to 33.2% in fiscal 2017 compared with 35.7% in fiscal 2016. the decrease in gross margin was primarily due to elevated costs associated with our supplychain operations, including distribution center and freight costs recognized in the current period. the impact of elevated supply chain and freight costs was a 250basis point decrease to our gross margin rate in fiscal 2017, as compared to the prior year, driven significantly by our supply chain issues experienced earlier in theyear. additionally, markdowns increased in the current year. Partially offsetting these increases in costs was an improvement in initial merchandise mark-up.SG&a increased 4.0% to $353.0 million in fiscal 2017, compared to $339.4 million in the same period last year. as a percentage of net sales, SG&a was36.5% for fiscal 2017 compared to 35.5% for the prior year. this increase in SG&a as a percentage of net sales was driven primarily by higher store rent,depreciation, and real estate project expenses, due in part to our strategy to improve store real estate and increased corporate labor and share-based compensationexpense in the current period as compared to the prior year period due to executive vacancies in the prior year period. additionally, we continued to invest intechnology and infrastructure which drove incremental costs related to systems in comparison to the prior year period. Partially offsetting these increased costswere reductions in certain other corporate expenses, including legal and professional fees, which decreased as a percentage of net sales from the prior year. in theprior year, we recorded approximately $8.7 million of incremental expenses to support our strategic initiatives. these costs included $3.2 million of acceleratedrent expense related to closing stores prior to lease termination, as well as up-front costs for our Phoenix distribution center and duplication of certain costs at ourDallas23 distribution center and other investments in the business such as an inventory management project, expen ses related to advertising research, and investments instore prototype development. Our operating loss was $32.3 million during fiscal 2017 as compared to operating income of $2.4 million for fiscal 2016. the decrease was primarily dueto higher SG&a and lower gross profit, as discussed above.Our fiscal 2017 results were adversely impacted by increased supply chain and freight costs, driven significantly by elevated costs resulting from our supplychain issues experienced earlier in the year.net interest expense increased $0.4 million to $1.5 million in fiscal 2017 compared to $1.1 million in the prior year, as a result of increased borrowings onour revolving credit facility during fiscal 2017. Other income decreased $1.2 million to $1.4 million in fiscal 2017 compared to $2.6 million in fiscal 2016. thischange was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million lower gain recognized in fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016 in connection with a sale-leaseback transactionin fiscal 2016.income tax expense for fiscal 2017 was $197,000 compared to $263,000 in fiscal 2016. the effective tax rates for fiscal 2017 and 2016 were (0.6%) and6.6%, respectively. the change in effective tax rate is driven in part by our pretax loss in fiscal 2017 compared to pretax income in fiscal 2016. a full valuationallowance was recorded against our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2017. the total valuation allowance at the end of fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $27.2million, $16.0 million and $16.7 million, respectively. a deviation from the customary relationship between income tax expense/(benefit) and pretax income/(loss)results from utilization of the valuation allowance. Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2015net sales increased $50.0 million, or 5.5%, to $956.4 million in fiscal 2016 from $906.4 million in fiscal 2015, primarily due to a $67.7 million increase insales from comparable stores (stores open at least one year, including stores relocated in the same market and renovated stores) of 7.8%. the increase incomparable store sales was comprised of an increase in customer transactions of 7.9%, slightly offset by a decrease in average ticket of 0.1%. Our comparable storesales increase was partially offset by a decrease in our non-comparable store sales, which decreased a total of $17.7 million, resulting in a 195 basis point negativeimpact on our increase in net sales. non-comparable store sales include the net effect of sales from new stores and sales from stores that have closed. the non-comparable store sales decrease was driven by 34 store closures, partially offset by 16 store openings, which occurred between the end of fiscal 2015 and the end offiscal 2016.Gross profit for fiscal 2016 was $341.8 million, an increase of 4.7% compared to $326.6 million for fiscal 2015. as a percentage of net sales, gross margindecreased to 35.7% in fiscal 2016 compared with 36.0% in fiscal 2015. this decrease in gross margin rate of 30 basis points was primarily driven by an increase insupply chain and distribution costs to support higher sales volume, higher buying costs, as we had made greater investments in our merchant organization, and anincrease in markdowns, partially offset by improvements in initial merchandise mark-up.Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $25.1 million, or 8.0%, to $339.4 million in fiscal 2016 from $314.3 million in fiscal 2015. as apercentage of net sales, SG&a increased to 35.5% in fiscal 2016 from 34.7% in fiscal 2015. this increase was driven primarily by higher store rent anddepreciation, due in part to our strategy to improve store real estate, and $3.2 million of incremental rent expense in fiscal 2016, including a $2.0 million reserve forfuture lease payments, related to stores we exited prior to lease expiration, along with increased advertising. additionally, during fiscal 2016, we incurred costs forour new Phoenix distribution center associated with the opening and ramping up of the new facility, a portion of which related to the delays in the completion ofthat facility. the increase was also driven by higher employee and recruiting costs, partially offset by favorable share based compensation expense in fiscal 2016compared to fiscal 2015 due to executive vacancies during fiscal 2016. We recorded approximately $8.9 million of incremental expenses in fiscal 2016 to supportour strategic initiatives, which negatively impacted our operating results. these costs included $3.2 million of incremental rent expense related to closing storesprior to lease termination as explained above, as well as up-front costs for the Phoenix distribution center and duplication of certain costs at our Dallas facility,which had not yet ramped down to normalized levels, and other investments in the business such as recruiting costs for key executive positions, an inventorymanagement project, expenses related to advertising research, and investments in store prototype development.Our operating income was $2.4 million during fiscal 2016 as compared to $12.4 million for fiscal 2015. the decrease was primarily due to higher SG&adiscussed above, partially offset by higher gross profit from higher net sales.net interest expense decreased $0.3 million to $1.1 million in fiscal 2016 compared to $1.4 million in fiscal 2015, as a result of lower rates on our revolvingcredit facility combined with no borrowings during fiscal 2016. Other income/(expense) increased $3.1 million to income of $2.6 million in fiscal 2016 comparedto expense of $0.5 million in fiscal 2015. this change was primarily attributable to a $2.5 million gain in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction in fiscal2016.24 income tax expense for fiscal 2016 was $263,000 compared to $31,000 in fiscal 2015. the effective tax rates for fiscal 2016 and 2015 were 6.6% and 0.3%,respectively. a full valuation allowance was recorded against our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2016. the total valuation allowance at the end of fiscal years2016, 2015 and 2014 was $16.0 million, $16.7 million and $20.2 million, respectively. a deviation from the customary relationship between income taxexpense/(benefit) and pretax income/(loss) results from utilization of the valuation allowance.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCash Flows from Operating Activitiesin fiscal 2017, cash provided by operating activities was $0.4 million, compared to $8.4 million in the prior fiscal year. the $0.4 million of cash provided byoperating activities for fiscal 2017 was due to net loss of $32.5 million adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $21.7 million andshare based compensation expense of $4.2 million, which were partially offset by a non-cash gain on sale-leaseback of $0.7 million recorded in other income. infiscal 2017, we received $2.6 million in construction allowances from landlords related to our real estate improvement strategy. also impacting the cash providedby operating activities were a decrease in inventory of $20.3 million as well as an increase in deferred rent of $5.0 million, partially offset by decreases in accountspayable of $16.3 million and accrued liabilities of $2.0 million, increases in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.1 million, and a decrease in other non-current liabilities of $0.6 million. the decrease in inventory was driven primarily by lower inventory levels in our distribution centers, and was offset slightly byincreased buying, distribution, and freight costs which are capitalized into inventory. there were no significant changes to our vendor payment policy during fiscal2017, 2016, or 2015.in fiscal 2016, cash provided by operating activities was $8.4 million, compared to $9.7 million in fiscal 2015. the $8.4 million of cash provided byoperating activities for fiscal 2016 was due to net income of $3.7 million, plus the non-cash impacts of depreciation of $16.5 million, stock compensation expenseof $3.1 million, and loss on disposal of assets of $0.7 million, which primarily related to our store closing and relocation program, which were partially offset by anon-cash gain on sale-leaseback of $2.5 million recorded in other income. also impacting cash provided by operating activities were increases in accounts payableof $6.6 million, accrued liabilities of $6.7 million, deferred rent of $2.8 million, cease-use rent reserve of $0.9 million, asset retirement obligations of $1.4 millionand decreases in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.7 million, which were partially offset by an increase in inventory of approximately $30.0 million.Cash Flows from Investing Activitiesnet cash used in investing activities was due to capital expenditures of $41.7 million, $45.5 million and $15.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30,2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. capital expenditures were primarily associated with store relocations, expansions and new store openings, capitalimprovements to existing stores, our multi-distribution center network and enhancements to our distribution center facilities, equipment, and systems along withimprovements related to our corporate office and equipment. the $3.8 million decrease in investment spend in fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016 was primarilydriven by $20.1 million of decreased spending on the Phoenix distribution center and related information technology, partially offset by $14.3 million of increasedspending on new, relocated and expanded stores. in fiscal year 2016, we received $8.8 million of proceeds from the sale of two buildings and land that comprise aportion of the Dallas distribution center facilities in a sale-leaseback transaction. additionally, in fiscal 2016, we invested $1.3 million in intellectual property.We currently expect to incur capital expenditures in the range of $25 million to $30 million in fiscal year 2018.Cash Flows from Financing Activitiesnet cash provided by financing activities of $33.3 million in fiscal 2017 relates to $30.5 million of borrowings on our revolving credit facility, net ofpayments, along with a $2.8 million cash overdraft position. net cash used in financing activities of $1.0 million in fiscal 2016 primarily consisted of $0.9 millionof debt issuance costs related to our revolving credit facility, discussed below. net cash provided by financing activities of $0.9 million in fiscal 2015 was due tothe proceeds from employee stock option exercises.Revolving Credit FacilityOn august 18, 2015, we entered into a new credit agreement providing for an asset-based, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount ofup to $180.0 million which matures on august 18, 2020 (the “Revolving credit Facility”), which replaced our prior revolving credit facility. the availability offunds under the Revolving credit Facility is limited to the lesser of a calculated borrowing base and the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolvingcredit Facility. Our indebtedness under the Revolving credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. the Revolving credit Facility containscertain restrictive covenants, which affect, among others, our ability to incur liens or incur additional indebtedness, change the nature of our business, sell assets ormerge or consolidate with any other entity, or make investments or acquisitions unless they meet certain25 requirements. the Revolving credit Facility requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio at any time that our availability is less than the greater of 10% ofour calculated borrowing base or $12.5 mill ion. Our Revolving credit Facility may, in some instances, limit our ability to pay cash dividends and repurchase ourcommon stock. in order for the borrower under the Revolving credit Facility, our subsidiary, to make a restricted payment to us for the pa yment of a dividend or arepurchase of shares, we must, among other things, maintain availability of 20% of the lesser of our calculated borrowing base or our lenders’ aggregatecommitments under the Revolving credit Facility on a pro forma basis for a spe cified period prior to and immediately following the restricted payment. as ofJune 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of the Revolving credit Facility covenants.at June 30, 2017, we had $30.5 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving credit Facility, $6.0 million of outstanding letters of credit andavailability of $64.2 million. letters of credit under the Revolving credit Facility are primarily for self-insurance purposes. We incur commitment fees of up to0.25% on the unused portion of the Revolving credit Facility, payable quarterly. any borrowing under the Revolving credit Facility incurs interest at liBOR orthe prime rate, plus an applicable margin, at our election (except with respect to swing loans, which incur interest solely at the prime rate plus the applicablemargin), subject to a floor of the one month liBOR plus an applicable margin in the case of loans based on the prime rate. interest expense of $1.5 million forfiscal 2017 was comprised of commitment fees of $0.7 million, interest expense of $0.4 million and amortization of financing fees of $0.4 million.at June 30, 2016, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving credit Facility, $5.7 million of outstanding letters of credit and availability of$106.8 million.LiquidityWe have financed our operations with funds generated from operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from the sale of ownedproperties and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, were $6.3 million, $14.1 million, and$44.8 million, respectively. Our cash flows will continue to be utilized for the operation of our business and the use of any excess cash will be determined by theBoard of Directors. Our borrowings have historically peaked during our second fiscal quarter as we build inventory levels prior to the holiday selling season. Giventhe seasonality of our business, the amount of borrowings under our Revolving credit Facility may fluctuate materially depending on various factors, including thetime of year, our strategic investment needs and the opportunity to acquire merchandise inventory. Our primary uses for cash provided by operating activities relateto funding our ongoing business activities and planned capital expenditures. We may also use available cash to repurchase shares of our common stock. We believefunds generated from our operations, available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our Revolving credit Facility will be sufficient to fund ouroperations for the next year. if our capital resources are not sufficient to fund our operations, we may seek additional debt or equity financing. however, we canoffer no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on reasonable terms.Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesManagement’s Discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States. the preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect thereported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a recurring basis, we evaluate oursignificant estimates which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. actualresults may differ from these estimates.We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidatedfinancial statements.Inventory —Our inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method for store inventory andthe specific identification method for warehouse inventory. We have a perpetual inventory system that tracks on hand inventory and inventory sold at a SKU level.inventory is relieved and cost of goods sold is recorded based on the current cost of the item sold. Buying, distribution, freight and certain other costs arecapitalized as part of inventory and are charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is sold. the retail inventory method, which is used by a number of ourcompetitors, involves management estimates with regard to items such as markdowns. Such estimates may significantly impact the ending inventory valuation atcost as well as the amount of gross margin recognized.Our stores conduct annual physical inventories, staggered during the second half of the fiscal year. During periods in which physical inventory observationsdo not occur, we utilize an estimate for recording inventory shrink based on the historical results of our previous physical inventories. this estimate may require afavorable or unfavorable adjustment to actual results to the extent that our subsequent actual physical inventory results yield a different result. We have lossprevention and inventory controls programs that26 we believe minimize shrink. although inventory shrink rates have not fluctuated significantly in recent years, if the actual rate were to differ from our estimates,then an adjustment to inventory shrink would be required.inventory is the largest asset on our balance sheet and represented approximately 62%, 67%, and 63% of total assets at June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015,respectively. total inventory decreased 8.4%, or $20.4 million, from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017. total inventory increased 15.4%, or $32.3 million, from June30, 2015 to June 30, 2016. On a per store basis, store inventory decreased 0.3% from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2017 and increased 18.8% from June 30, 2015 toJune 30, 2016.Markdowns —We utilize markdowns to promote the effective and timely sale of merchandise which allows us to consistently provide new merchandise toour customers. We also utilize markdowns coupled with promotional events to drive traffic and stimulate sales. Markdowns may be temporary or permanent.temporary markdowns are for a designated period of time with markdowns recorded to cost of sales based on quantities sold during the period. Permanentmarkdowns are charged to cost of sales immediately based on the total quantities on hand at the time of the markdown. Markdowns may vary throughout thequarter or year in timing.the effect of a 1.0% markdown in the value of our inventory at June 30, 2017 would result in a decline in gross profit and a reduction in our earnings pershare for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 of $2.2 million and $0.05, respectively.Insurance and Self‑‑Insurance Reserves —We use a combination of insurance and self‑insurance plans to provide for the potential liabilities associatedwith workers’ compensation, general liability, property insurance, director and officers’ liability insurance, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits. Ourstop loss limits per claim are $500,000 for workers’ compensation, $250,000 for general liability, and $150,000 for medical. liabilities associated with the risksthat are retained by us are estimated, in part, by historical claims experience, severity factors and the use of loss development factors.the insurance liabilities we record are primarily influenced by the frequency and severity of claims and include a reserve for claims incurred but not yetreported. Our estimated reserves may be materially different from our future actual claim costs, and, when required adjustments to our estimated reserves areidentified, the liability will be adjusted accordingly in that period. Our self‑insurance reserves for workers’ compensation, general liability and medical were$8.6 million, $2.5 million, and $1.1 million, respectively, at June 30, 2017 and $8.2 million, $3.3 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016.We recognize insurance expenses based on the date of an occurrence of a loss including the actual and estimated ultimate costs of our claims. claims paidreduce our reserves and our current period insurance expense is adjusted for the difference in prior period recorded reserves and actual payments. current periodinsurance expenses also include the amortization of our premiums paid to our insurance carriers. expenses for workers’ compensation, general liability and medicalinsurance were $4.8 million, $3.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017; $3.4 million, $4.0 million and $7.2 million,respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016; and $3.6 million, $3.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.Share‑‑based compensation —the compensation committee of our Board of Directors and, through express consent of the compensation committee, ourceO, are authorized to grant stock options and restricted stock awards from time to time to eligible employees and directors. those awards may be service orperformance based. We grant options with exercise prices equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of the option grant as determined inaccordance with the terms of our equity incentive plans. the majority of the options granted prior to June 30, 2008 have a vesting period of one to five years andexpire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted after June 30, 2008 typically vest over periods of one to four years with equal portions of the grant vestingon an annual basis and expire ten years from the date of grant. in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we recognize compensationexpense at an amount equal to the fair value of share‑based payments granted under compensation arrangements. We calculate the fair value of stock options usingthe Black‑Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of share‑based awards at the grant date requires judgment in developing assumptions, whichinvolve a number of variables. these variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the expected dividendyield, the risk free rate, the expected term and expected stock option exercise behavior. in addition, we also use judgment in estimating the number of share‑basedawards that are expected to be forfeited. Share‑based compensation expense was $4.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, $3.1 million for the fiscalyear ended June 30, 2016 and $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.Income taxes —We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determinedbased on differences between financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be ineffect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. a valuation allowance isrecorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. in assessing the need for a valuationallowance, all available evidence is considered including past operating results, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, estimates of future income andtax planning strategies. We have elected to utilize the “with and without” method for purposes of determining when27 excess tax benefits will be realized. We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions, including the United States, various states and localities. at any point intime, we may not be subject to audit by any of the various jurisdict ions; however, we record estimated reserves for uncertain tax benefits for potential domestic taxaudits. the timing of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may affect the ultimate settlement of these issues. if different assumptions had b eenused, our tax expense or benefit, assets and liabilities could have varied from recorded amounts. if actual results differ from estimated results or if we adjust theseassumptions in the future, we may need to adjust our reserves for uncertain tax bene fits or our deferred tax assets or liabilities, which could impact our effectivetax rate.Off‑‑Balance Sheet ArrangementsWe had no off‑balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2017.Contractual Obligationsthe following table summarizes our contractual obligations at June 30, 2017 and the effects that such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity andcash flow in future periods (in thousands): Payments Due by Period Contractual Obligations Total 1 Yearor Less 2 - 3Years 4 - 5Years More than5 Years Operating leases $522,332 $91,386 $144,457 $103,184 $183,305 Maintenance, insurance and taxes on operating leases 97,172 17,001 26,874 19,196 34,101 capital lease 788 172 344 272 — Borrowings under revolving credit facility 30,500 — — 30,500 — interest and commitment fees on revolving credit facility 3,823 1,219 2,440 164 — total $654,615 $109,778 $174,115 $153,316 $217,406 contractually required payments for maintenance, insurance and taxes on our leased properties are estimated above as a percentage of rent based onhistorical trends. these amounts can vary based on multiple factors including inflation, macroeconomic conditions, various local tax rates and appraised values ofour rental properties. the operating lease obligations include the lease obligations of our new, additional distribution center in Phoenix, arizona opened in thefourth quarter of fiscal 2016. We do not consider most merchandise purchase orders to be contractual obligations due to designated cancellation dates on the face ofthe purchase order.commitment fees and interest on the Revolving credit Facility are calculated based on contractual commitment fees, standby letter of credit fees, andinterest based on the outstanding balance on the Revolving credit Facility of $30.5 million and letters of credit totaling $6.0 million. See "—liquidity and capitalResources—Revolving credit Facility" above. the interest and commitment fees on our Revolving credit Facility reflect the future cash requirements for interestpayments, assuming the $30.5 million outstanding balance is not repaid until maturity and incorporate s the interest rates in effect as of June 30, 2017. the intereston the letter of credit utilization and unused commitments are fixed at 1.375% and 0.25%, respectively. the interest rate on swingline revolver borrowings isvariable and is based on the prime rate plus margin, and was 4.25% at June 30, 2017. the interest rate on traditional revolver borrowings is variable and is based oneither liBOR or the prime rate plus margin, at our option, which was liBOR for which interest rates ranged between 2.46% and 2.48% for multiple tranches.We have not included other long-term liabilities related to self-insurance reserves in the contractual obligations table, as they do not represent cashrequirements arising from contractual payment obligations. While self-insurance reserves represent an estimate of our future obligation and not a contractualpayment obligation, we have disclosed our self-insurance reserves under "critical accounting Policies and estimates - insurance and Self-insurance Reserves."Quarterly Results and Seasonalitythe following tables set forth certain quarterly financial data for the eight quarters ended June 30, 2017. the quarterly information is unaudited, but hasbeen prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10‑K. We believe that all necessary adjustments (consistingonly of normal recurring adjustments) have been included to present fairly the unaudited quarterly results when read in conjunction with our consolidated financialstatements and related notes included28 elsewhere in this Form 10 ‑K. the results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period.

We expect to continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in ourbusiness, with a significant percentage of our net sales and operating income being generated in the quarter ending December 31, which includes the holiday sellingseason.Inflationin our opinion, the overall effect of inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations in any of the fiscal years of 2017, 2016, or 2015. Wecannot assure that inflation will not materially affect our results of operations in the future.Recent Accounting PronouncementsRefer to note 1 to the consolidated Financial Statements. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskWe are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market pricesand rates, such as interest rates. Based on our market risk sensitive instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2017, as described below, we have determined that therewas no material market risk exposure to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of such date. We do not enter into derivatives orother financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.Interest Rates. Our Revolving credit Facility is a variable interest rate agreement, and therefore affected by fluctuations in market interest rates.Borrowings may incur interest at either liBOR or the prime rate, plus the applicable margin, at our election (except with respect to swing loans, which incurinterest solely at the prime rate plus the applicable margin). in fiscal 2017, we borrowed $176.5 million and repaid $146.0 million under our line of credit. Weconsider our exposure to adverse market interest rate fluctuations to be minimal. as of June 30, 2017, we had $30.5 million of outstanding borrowings under ourline of credit. More information about debt held by us is available in note 3 to the consolidated Financial Statements.29 Item 8.

Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresBased on our management’s evaluation (with participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), our principal executiveofficer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) under the Securities exchangeact of 1934, as amended (the “exchange act”)) were effective as of June 30, 2017 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by usin reports that we file or submit under the exchange act, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities andexchange commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financialofficers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systemare met.

F-6 TUESDAY MORNING CORPO RATIONNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESthroughout these notes, tuesday Morning corporation is referred to as “tuesday Morning,” “we” or “the company”.tuesday Morning is a leading retailer of off‑price, upscale decorative home accessories, housewares, seasonal goods and famous‑maker gifts that wegenerally sell below retail prices charged by department and specialty stores, catalogs and on‑line retailers in the United States. We operated 731 discountretail stores in 40 states as of June 30, 2017 (751 and 769 stores at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively). We distribute periodic circulars and direct mailthat keep customers familiar with tuesday Morning.(a)Basis of Presentation —the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of tuesday Morning corporation, a Delawarecorporation, and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We operate our businessas a single operating segment. certain reclassifications were made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. none of thereclassifications affected our net income/(loss) in any period. We no longer present a separate statement of comprehensive income, as we have no materialother comprehensive income items. Our fiscal year ended on June 30, 2017, which we refer to as fiscal 2017.(b)Use of Estimates —the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. actual results could differfrom those estimates.(c)Cash and Cash Equivalents —cash and cash equivalents include credit card receivables and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of threemonths or less. cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. at June 30, 2017 and 2016, credit card receivables from third partyconsumer credit card providers were $4.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively.(d)Inventories —inventories, consisting of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method for store inventory and thespecific identification method for warehouse inventory. We have a perpetual inventory system that tracks on hand inventory and inventory sold at a SKUlevel. inventory is relieved and cost of sales is recorded based on the current cost of the item sold. Buying, distribution, freight and certain other costs arecapitalized as part of inventory and are charged to cost of sales as the related inventory is sold. We charged $108.2 million, $83.7 million, and $73.4 million,of such capitalized inventory costs to cost of sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. We have capitalized $33.9 millionand $32.6 million of such costs in inventory at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.Stores conduct annual physical inventories, staggered during the second half of the fiscal year. We make adjustments to our financial statements based onthe results of the physical inventories. During periods in which no physical inventories occur, we utilize an estimate for recording shrinkage reserves, basedon historical trends of physical inventory results. these shrinkage reserves may require a favorable or unfavorable adjustment to actual results to the extentour subsequent physical inventories yield a different result.We review our inventory during and at the end of each quarter to ensure that all necessary pricing actions are taken to adequately value our inventory at thelower of cost or market by recording permanent markdowns to our on hand inventory. Management believes these markdowns result in the appropriateprices necessary to stimulate demand for the merchandise. actual recorded permanent markdowns could differ materially from management’s initialestimates based on future customer demand or economic conditions.(e)Property and Equipment —Property and equipment are stated at cost. Buildings, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements, capital leases and equipmentare depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:Estimated Useful Lives Buildings 30 yearsFurniture and fixtures 3 to 7 yearsleasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or lease termequipment 5 to 10 yearsassets under capital lease Shorter of useful life or lease termSoftware 3 to10 years F-7 Upon sale or retirement of an asset, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from our balance sheet and any gain or loss is recognized inthe statement of operations. expenditures for maintenance, minor renewals and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major replacements andimprovements are capitalized. For the fiscal year ended June 30 , 2017, we disposed of assets with a net book value of approximately $ 0 . 1 million,primarily related to our store closing and relocation program . For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, w e sold two Dallas distribution center buildings andland with a tot al net book value of $5.2 million in a sale-leaseback transaction (see f urther discussion in (q) below) and we disposed of assets with a netbook value of approximately $0.7 million, primarily related to our store closing and related relocation program. Ga ins or losses related to the sale or otherdisposal of such assets in these periods were presented in other income/(expense) on our consolidated Statement of Operations.(f)Deferred Financing Costs —Deferred financing costs represent costs paid in connection with obtaining bank and other long‑term financing. these costs areamortized over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method.(g)Income Taxes —income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future taxconsequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporarydifferences are expected to be recovered or settled. the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in theperiod that includes the date of enactment. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that therealization of those deferred tax assets will not occur. Valuation allowances are released as positive evidence of future taxable income sufficient to realizethe underlying deferred tax assets becomes available.We file our annual federal income tax return on a consolidated basis. Furthermore, we recognize uncertain tax positions when we have determined it is morelikely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. however, new information may become available or applicable laws or regulationsmay change thereby resulting in a favorable or unfavorable adjustment to amounts recorded.(h)Self-Insurance Reserves —We use a combination of insurance and self‑insurance plans to provide for the potential liabilities associated with workers’compensation, general liability, property insurance, director and officers’ liability insurance, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits. Our stoploss limits per claim are $500,000 for workers’ compensation, $250,000 for general liability, and $150,000 for medical. liabilities associated with the risksthat are retained by us are estimated, in part, by historical claims experience, severity factors and the use of loss development factors.the insurance liabilities we record are primarily influenced by the frequency and severity of claims, and include a reserve for claims incurred but not yetreported. Our estimated reserves may be materially different from our future actual claim costs, and, when required adjustments to our estimate reserves areidentified, the liability will be adjusted accordingly in that period. Our self‑insurance reserves for workers’ compensation, general liability and medical were$8.6 million and $2.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, at June 30, 2017 and $8.2 million, $3.3 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, at June 30,2016. We recognize insurance expenses based on the date of an occurrence of a loss including the actual and estimated ultimate costs of our claims. claims arepaid from our reserves and our current period insurance expense is adjusted for the difference in prior period recorded reserves and actual payments as wellas changes in estimated reserves. current period insurance expenses also include the amortization of our premiums paid to our insurance carriers. expensesfor workers’ compensation, general liability and medical insurance were $4.8 million, $3.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2017 and $3.4 million, $4.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. (i)Revenue Recognition —Sales are recorded at the point of sale and conveyance of merchandise to customers. Sales are net of returns and exclude sales tax.We maintain a reserve for estimated returns. We use historical customer return behavior to estimate our reserve requirements. Gift cards are sold tocustomers in our stores and we issue gift cards for merchandise returns in our stores. Revenue from sales of gift cards and issuances of merchandise creditsis recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer, or if the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (gift cardbreakage). the gift card breakage rate is determined based upon historical redemption patterns. an estimate of the rate of gift card breakage is applied overthe period of estimated performance (36 months as of the end of fiscal 2017) and the breakage amounts are included in net sales in the consolidatedStatement of Operations. We recorded $0.9 million, $0.6 million and $0.2 million of gift card breakage in fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 respectively.(j)Advertising —costs for direct mail, television, radio, newspaper, and other media are expensed as the advertised events take place. advertising expenses forthe fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 were $29.0 million, $28.9 million, and $25.6 million, respectively. We do not receive considerationfrom vendors to support our advertising expenditures. as of June 30, 2017, prepaid advertising was $149,000 compared to $153,000 at June 30, 2016.(k)Financial Instruments —the fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques asappropriate. the only financial instrument we carry is our revolving credit facility. See note 3. F-8 (l)Share ‑Based Compensation —the fair value of each stock option granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was estimated at thedate of grant using a Black ‑Scholes option pricing model.the risk‑free interest rate is the constant maturity risk free interest rate for U.S. treasury instruments with terms consistent with the expected lives of theawards. the expected term of an option is based on our historical review of employee exercise behavior based on the employee class (executive ornon‑executive) and based on our consideration of the remaining contractual term if limited exercise activity existed for a certain employee class. theexpected volatility is based on both the historical volatility of our stock based on our historical stock prices and implied volatility of our traded stockoptions. the expected dividend yield is based on our expectation of not paying dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.these inputs were as follows: Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2015 Weighted average risk-free interest rate 0.6 - 1.9% 1.0 - 1.9% 1.0 - 1.7% expected life of options (years) 3.0 - 5.5 2.9 - 5.6 3.2 - 5.4 expected stock volatility 52.7 - 61.0% 46.4 - 56.1% 45.4 - 56.8% expected dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% (m)Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share —Basic net income/(loss) per common share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, wascalculated by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted net income/(loss) percommon share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of commonshares including the impact of dilutive common stock equivalents. See note 9.(n)Impairment of Long‑Lived Assets and Long‑Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of — long‑lived assets, principally property and equipment and leaseholdimprovements, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to beheld and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than theircarrying value. if impairment exists, an adjustment is recorded to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between thecarrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal appraisals, as applicable. assetsto be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. impairment of long‑lived assets has not had a materialimpact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity for the periods presented. (o)Intellectual Property — Our intellectual property primarily consists of indefinite lived trademarks. We evaluate annually whether the trademarks continue tohave an indefinite life. trademarks and other intellectual property are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, and may be reviewed morefrequently if indicators of impairment are present. as of June 30, 2017, the carrying value of the intellectual property, which included indefinite lived trademarks, was $1.0 million and no impairment wasidentified or recorded.(p )Cease use Liability — amounts in “accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities – non-current” in the consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2017 include thecurrent and long-term portions, respectively, of accruals for the net present value of future minimum lease payments, net of estimated sublease income,attributable to closed stores with remaining lease obligations. the short-term and long-term cease use liabilities were $1.0 and $0.5 million at June 30, 2017,respectively. the short-term and long-term cease use liabilities were $1.1 and $0.9 million at June 30, 2016, respectively. expenses related to store closingsare included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated Statements of Operations. (q)Sale-leaseback — During the fourth quarter of 2016, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction to sell two buildings and land utilized in our Dallasdistribution center operations, which we do not consider part of our long-term distribution network, and leased back these facilities through December 2017.We have since exercised our option to extend the related lease through March 2018. We have no continuing involvement with the properties sold other thana normal leaseback. the consideration received for the sale, as reduced by closing and transaction costs, was $8.8 million, and the net book value of properties sold was $5.2million, resulting in a $3.6 million gain. the gain recognized in fiscal year 2016 was $2.5 million, which included the portion of the gain in excess of thepresent value of the minimum lease payments for the leaseback, and was included in other income in our consolidated Statement of Operations. Duringfiscal 2017, we recognized $0.7 million of the gain. the remaining $0.4 million gain deferred on the consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2017 isclassified as short-term, as it will be recognized during fiscal 2018. the leaseback is an operating lease, and we will pay approximately $0.6 million in rent,excluding executory costs, from July 2017 through March 2018. (r)Asset Retirement Obligations — We account for asset retirement obligations (“aRO”) in accordance with aSc 410, Asset Retirement and EnvironmentalObligations , which requires the recognition of a liability for the fair value of a legally requiredF-9 asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. Our aRO liabilities are associated with the disposal an dretirement of leasehold improvements and removal of installed equipment, resulting from contractual obligations, at the end of a lease to restore a facility toa condition specified in the lease agreement.We record the net present value of the aRO liability and also record a related capital asset, in an equal amount, for leases which contractually result in anasset retirement obligation. the estimated aRO liability is based on a number of assumptions, including costs to return facilities back to specifiedconditions, inflation rates and discount rates. accretion expense related to the aRO liability is recognized as operating expense in our consolidatedStatements of Operations. the capitalized asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the related leasehold improvements. Upon aROfulfillment, any difference between the actual retirement expense incurred and the recorded estimated aRO liability is recognized as an operating gain orloss in our consolidated Statements of Operations. Our aRO liability, which totaled $2.5 million at June 30, 2017, was comprised of a $0.2 million short-term portion included in accrued liabilities and $2.3 million long-term portion included in “Other liabilities—non-current” on our consolidated BalanceSheet at June 30, 2017. at June 30, 2016, our aRO liability was $2.6 million and was included in “Other liabilities—non-current” on our consolidatedBalance Sheets.(s) Capital lease – During fiscal 2017, we entered into a 5-year capital lease maturing on January 31, 2022 for equipment and software. at June 30, 2017, thecapital lease asset balance was $0.8 million, the current lease liability was $0.1 million and the long-term lease liability was $0.6 million. During fiscal year2017, the capital lease asset was amortized on a straight-line basis with amortization of less than $0.1 million. (t )Legal Proceedings — From time to time, we are involved in litigation which is incidental to our business. in our opinion, no litigation to which we arecurrently a party is likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. (u )Recent Accounting Pronouncements — in august 2016, the Financial accounting Standards Board (the “FaSB”) issued accounting Standards Update(“aSU”) no. 2016-15, Statement of cash Flows (topic 230): classification of certain cash Receipts and cash Payments (“aSU 2016-15”), which providesguidance on eight specific cash flow issues in regard to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.aSU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted.the amendments in aSU 2016-15 should be adopted on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case the amendments should beapplied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. the company currently expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and iscurrently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. in March 2016, the FaSB issued aSU no. 2016-09, compensation – Stock compensation (topic 718): improvements to employee Share-Based Paymentaccounting (“aSU 2016-09”) to reduce the complexity of certain aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. aSU 2016-09involves changes in several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for the income tax consequences ofshare-based awards. For public companies, aSU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within thosefiscal years. the company currently expects to adopt this standard in the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2018 and does not believe the adoption of this standardwill result in a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. in February 2016, the FaSB issued aSU no. 2016-02, leases (topic 842) (“aSU 2016-02”), which is intended to improve financial reporting inconnection with leasing transactions. aSU 2016-02 will require entities (“lessees”) that lease assets with lease terms of more than twelve months torecognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under aSU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset andlease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or finance, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases andamortization/interest expense for finance leases. accounting by entities that own the assets leased by lessees (“lessors”) will remain largely unchanged fromcurrent GaaP. in addition, aSU 2016-02 requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing anduncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, aSU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 andinterim periods within those fiscal years. early adoption is permitted. a modified retrospective approach is required for all leases existing or entered intoafter the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. the company currently expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter offiscal 2020. While the company is currently evaluating the provisions of aSU 2016-02 to assess the impact on the company’s consolidated financialstatements and disclosures, the primary effect of adopting the new standard will be to record assets and obligations for current operating leases. in July 2015, the FaSB issued aSU no. 2015-11, inventory (topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of inventory (“aSU 2015-11”), which changes themeasurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for companies using the Retailinventory Method which will continue to use existing impairment models. aSU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in theordinary course of business, less reasonablyF-10 predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. the new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for fiscal yearsbeginning a fter December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. the company currently expects to adopt thisstandard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and does not believe the implementation of this standard will result in a material impact on its consolidatedfinancial statements and disclosures. in May 2014, the FaSB issued aSU no. 2014-09, Revenue from contracts with customers (topic 606) (“aSU 2014-09”), an updated standard on revenuerecognition, and has since modified the standard with additional aSUs. the new guidance provides enhancements to the quality and consistency of howrevenue is reported while also improving comparability in the financial statements of companies reporting using iFRS and GaaP. the core principle of thenew standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration, orpayment, to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. in July 2015, the FaSB deferred the effective date of aSU2014-09. accordingly, this standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year, withearly adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. the company currently expects to adopt this standard in thefirst quarter of fiscal 2019 and does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures, as the vastmajority of its revenue is expected to continue to be generated from point-of-sale transactions that are expected to be recognized consistent with its currentaccounting. the company’s current accounting for gift card breakage is consistent with the new standard. the company is currently evaluating whether thestandard will affect its current accounting for customer incentives. the company is continuing to evaluate the impact that this standard will have on itsconsolidated financial statements and disclosures and expects to use the modified retrospective method when adopting this standard.

Our indebtedness under the Revolving credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. the Revolvingcredit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants, which affect, among others, our ability to incur liens or incur additional indebtedness, change the nature of ourbusiness, sell assets or merge or consolidate with any other entity, or make investments or acquisitions unless they meet certain requirements. the Revolving creditFacility requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio at any time that our availability is less than the greater of 10% of our calculated borrowing base or$12.5 million. Our Revolving credit Facility may, in some instances, limit our ability to pay cash dividends and repurchase our common stock. in order for theborrower under the Revolving credit Facility, our subsidiary, to make a restricted payment to us for the payment of a dividend or a repurchase of shares, we must,among other things, maintain availability of 20% of the lesser of our calculated borrowing base or our lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolving creditFacility on a pro forma basis for a specified period prior to and immediately following the restricted payment. as of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with allof the Revolving credit Facility covenants.at June 30, 2017, we had $30.5 million outstanding under the Revolving credit Facility, $6.0 million of outstanding letters of credit and availability of$64.2 million. letters of credit under the Revolving credit Facility are primarily for self-insurance purposes. We incur commitment fees of up to 0.25% on theunused portion of the Revolving credit Facility, payable quarterly. any borrowingF-11 under the Revolving credit Facility incurs interest at liBOR or the prime ra te, plus an applicable margin, at our election (except with respect to swing loans,which incur interest solely at the prime rate plus the applicable margin), subject to a floor of the one month liBOR plus an applicable margin in the case of loansbased on the prime rate. interest expense for fiscal year 2017 from th e Revolving credit Facility of $ 1.5 million was comprised of commitment fees of $ 0.4million , interest expense of $0.7 million and the amortization of financing fees of $ 0.4 million. interest expense from the Revolving credit Facility of $1.1 millionfor fiscal year 2016 was comprised of commitment fees of $0.6 million and amortization of financing fees of $0.5 million. the fair value of the company's debt approximated its carrying amount as of June 30, 2017.See note 11 for additional discussion on dividend restrictions under the Revolving credit Facility.

We considered the reversal of existing taxabletemporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and loss carry back potential in making this assessment. in evaluating the likelihoodthat sufficient future earnings would be available in the near future to realize the deferred tax assets, we considered our cumulative losses over three years includingthe then-current year. Based on the foregoing, we concluded that a valuation allowance was necessary. in fiscal 2017, the deferred tax asset valuation allowanceincreased $11.2 million. at the end of fiscal 2017, net deferred tax assets totaled $27.1 million, with an offsetting valuation allowance of $27.2 million.We have federal net operating loss carryforwards of $58.0 million. these losses can only be carried forward and utilized to offset future taxable income, butwill expire in fiscal year 2035 if not utilized before then. additionally, we have state net operating loss carryforwards of $38.3 million, which will expirethroughout the years 2018 through 2035, if not utilized before then.Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. the company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various statejurisdictions. With few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years beforefiscal 2012. the internal Revenue Service has concluded an examination of the company for years ending on or before June 30, 2010.F-13 a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands): Balance at June 30, 2014 $220 additions for tax positions of prior years — Reductions for lapse of statute of limitations (73)Balance at June 30, 2015 $147 additions for tax positions of prior years — Reductions for lapse of statute of limitations — Balance at June 30, 2016 $147 additions for tax positions of prior years — Reductions for lapse of statute of limitations — Balance at June 30, 2017 $147 the balance of taxes, interest, and penalties at June 30, 2017, that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $247,000. We classify and recognizeinterest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, werecognized $9,000, $16,000, and $23,000 in interest, respectively. no interest or penalties were paid in the tax years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015.We do not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease the effective tax rate within 12 months ofJune 30, 2017. (6) SHARE‑‑BASED INCENTIVE PLANSStock Option Awards. We have established the tuesday Morning corporation 2004 long-term equity incentive Plan, as amended (the “2004 Plan”), thetuesday Morning corporation 2008 long-term equity incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and the tuesday Morning corporation 2014 long-term incentive Plan, asamended (the “2014 Plan”), which allow for the granting of stock options to directors, officers and key employees of the company, and certain other keyindividuals who perform services for us and our subsidiaries. equity awards may no longer be granted under the 2004 Plan or the 2008 Plan, but equity awardsgranted under the 2004 Plan and the 2008 Plan are still outstanding. On September 16, 2014, our Board of Directors adopted the tuesday Morning corporation 2014 long-term incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), and the 2014Plan was approved by our stockholders at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders on november 12, 2014. the 2014 Plan became effective on September 16,2014, and the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan, as amended, is 6.1 million shares plus any awards under the 2008 Plan (i) thatwere outstanding on September 16, 2014, and, on or after September 16, 2014, are forfeited, expired or are cancelled, and (ii) any shares subject to such awardsthat, on or after September 16, 2014 are used to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligations with respect to such awards. Our Board of Directors alsoapproved the termination of the 2008 Plan, effective upon the date of stockholder approval of the 2014 Plan, and no new awards will be made under the 2008Plan. On September 22, 2016, our Board of Directors adopted amendments to the 2014 Plan, which were approved at the 2016 annual Meeting of Stockholders, toincrease the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2014 Plan and to make additional amendments to the 2014 Plan to, amongother things, remove liberal share recycling, reduce the number of shares exempt from minimum vesting, and eliminate discretion to accelerate vesting upon achange in control. On august 22, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted a Second amendment to the 2014 Plan (the “Second amendment”) that modified theminimum vesting provisions as they apply to non-employee directors, as described below. the 2014 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stockunits, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and which may be paid incash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. Under the 2014 Plan, stock options may not vest earlier than one year afterthe date of grant. "Full Value awards" (i.e., restricted stock or restricted stock units) that constitute performance awards must vest no earlier than one year after thedate of grant, and, prior to the Second amendment, Full Value awards that constituted "tenure awards" (i.e., awards that vest upon passage of time) could notvest earlier than over the three-year period commencing on the date of grant. the compensation committee of our Board of Directors may grant only stockoptions or Full Value awards with vesting conditions that are more favorable than the foregoing restrictions with respect to up to 5% of the shares of commonstock authorized under the 2014 Plan (referred to in the 2014 Plan as “exempt shares”). each year, after our annual meeting of stockholders, we grant awards under the 2014 Plan to our non-employee directors. these awards are typically FullValue awards that constitute tenure awards, and vest on the date of the annual meeting of our stockholdersF-14 next following the date of grant, as is consistent with grants to non-employee directors among members of our peer group . Because the 2014 Plan, prior to theSecond amendment, required that all Full Value awards that are tenure awards vest over a three-yea r period commencing on the date of grant, annual grants tothe non-employee directors would be classified as exempt shares. in order to avoid depletion of the 2014 Plan’s exempt shares through the annual grants to non-employee directors, the Board adopted the Second amendment to provide that all tenure awards made to non-employee directors must vest no earlier than oneyear after the date of grant. tenure awards to employees and consultants must still vest over the three-year period commencing on the date of grant.On november 16, 2016, our stockholders approved amendments to the 2014 Plan to increase the number of shares of the company’s common stockavailable for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 2,500,000 shares and to make additional amendments to the 2014 Plan, including (i) reducing the percentage ofshares exempt from the minimum vesting requirements under the 2014 Plan, (ii) adding a clawback policy, (iii) generally eliminating the discretion of the Board ofDirectors to accelerate the vesting of outstanding and unvested awards upon a change of control and (iv) providing that certain shares surrendered in payment of theexercise price of awards or withheld for tax withholding would count against the shares available under the 2014 Plan. Stock options were awarded with a strike price at a fair market value equal to the average of the high and low trading prices of our common stock on the dateof grant under the 2004 Plan. Stock options were awarded with a strike price at a fair market value equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of thegrant under the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan.Options granted under the 2004 Plan typically vest over periods of one to five years and expire ten years from the date of grant, while options granted underthe 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan typically vest over periods of one to four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the 2004 Plan,the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan may have certain performance requirements in addition to service terms. if the performance conditions are not satisfied, theoptions are forfeited. the exercise prices of stock options outstanding on June 30, 2017, range between $1.24 per share and $20.91 per share. all shares availableunder the 2004 Plan have been granted. the 2004 Plan and the 2008 Plan terminated as of May 17, 2014 and September 16, 2014, respectively. there were 4.3million shares available for grant under the 2014 Plan at June 30, 2017.Following is a summary of transactions relating to the 2004 Plan, 2008 Plan and 2014 Plan options for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015(share amounts and aggregate intrinsic value in thousands): Number ofShares Weighted-AverageExercisePrice Weighted-AverageRemainingContractualTerm (Years) AggregateIntrinsicValue Options Outstanding at June 30, 2014 1,731 12.00 8.75 $10,689 Granted during year 375 18.85 exercised during the year (161) 6.85 Forfeited or expired during year (107) 20.47 Options Outstanding at June 30, 2015 1,838 13.37 8.25 1,384 Granted during year 2,500 6.48 exercised during the year (5) 1.24 Forfeited or expired during year (1,121) 11.81 Options Outstanding at June 30, 2016 3,212 8.57 7.61 2,111 Granted during year 1,564 6.11 exercised during the year (6) 1.24 Forfeited or expired during year (1,254) 9.88 Options Outstanding at June 30, 2017 3,516 7.02 7.86 2 exercisable at June 30, 2017 706 $9.90 4.20 $2 the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, was $2.55 per share, $2.75per share, and $7.52 per share, respectively. the intrinsic value of vested unexercised options at June 30, 2017 is $2,000.there were options to purchase 6,208, 4,667 and 161,226 shares of our common stock, which were exercised during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017,2016 and 2015, respectively. the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $20,100, $27,000, and $2.1 million during the fiscal years ended June 30,2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. at June 30, 2017, we had $2.8 million of total unrecognized share‑based compensation expense related to stock options that isexpected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.F-15 the following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at June 30, 2017: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices NumberOutstanding Weighted AverageRemainingContractual Life(Years) WeightedAverageExercise PricePer Share NumberExercisable WeightedAverageExercise PricePer Share $1.24 - $5.59 300,072 8.50 $3.83 73,585 $4.81 $5.64 - $5.64 696,683 8.51 5.64 104,997 5.64 $5.88 - $5.89 305,508 8.35 5.89 10,000 5.88 $5.95 - $5.95 527,825 8.34 5.95 — — $6.29 - $6.58 25,948 8.44 6.54 8,987 6.47 $6.71 - $6.71 924,595 9.17 6.71 — — $7.90 - $8.54 394,101 5.00 8.05 229,580 8.15 $8.56 - $18.42 265,559 4.12 13.76 230,327 13.53 $19.36 - $19.36 67,908 5.58 19.36 44,414 19.36 $20.91 - $20.91 7,532 7.37 20.91 3,766 20.91 3,515,731 7.86 $7.02 705,656 $9.91 Restricted Stock Awards —the 2004 Plan, the 2008 Plan and the 2014 Plan authorize the grant of restricted stock awards to directors, officers, keyemployees and certain other key individuals who perform services for us and our subsidiaries. equity awards may no longer be granted under the 2004 Plan and the2008 Plan, but restricted stock awards granted under the 2004 Plan and the 2008 Plan are still outstanding.

Our existing store leases generally are for an initial term of five to ten years with twofive‑year renewal options and, in limited circumstances, our store leases involve a tenant allowance for leasehold improvements. We record rent expense ratablyover the life of the lease beginning with the date we take possession of or have the right to use the premises, and if our leases provide for a tenant allowance, werecord the landlord reimbursement as a liability and ratably amortize the liability as a reduction to rent expense over the lease term beginning with the date we takepossession of or control the physical access to the premises. leases for new stores also typically allow us the ability to terminate a lease after 24 to 60 months if thestore does not deliver sales expectations.in fiscal 2015, we executed a lease for approximately 0.6 million square feet related to our new, additional distribution center in Phoenix, arizona, whichstarted operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016.the future minimum rental payments for this lease are included in the table below.Future minimum rental payments under leases are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Years Ending June 30, 2018 $91,386 2019 78,731 2020 65,726 2021 55,585 2022 47,599 thereafter 183,305 total minimum rental payments $522,332 Rent expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was $108.0 million, $98.3 million, and $86.6 million, respectively.
