BEST BUY CO., INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($ in millions, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms Best Buy, we, us, and our in the following refers to Best Buy Co., Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Historically, we have realized more of our revenue and earnings in the fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season in the U.S. and Canada, than in any other fiscal quarter. The timing of new store openings, costs associated with the development of new businesses, as well as general economic conditions may also affect our future quarterly results. Consequently, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. These interim financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007.
Consistent with Chinas statutory requirements, our China operations fiscal year ends on December 31. Therefore, we have elected to consolidate our China financial results on a two-month lag. There was no significant intervening event that would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had it been recorded during the fiscal quarter.
Reclassifications
To maintain consistency and comparability, we reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007. In addition, to conform to the current-year presentation, we reclassified:
· to the International segment, $3 and $6 of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) support costs for the three and nine months ended November 25, 2006, respectively, which were previously reported as part of the Domestic segment in Note 9, Segments;
· to short-term debt, $40 of liabilities at November 25, 2006, which was previously reported in current portion of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet;
· to equity and other investments, $20 and $15 of investments at March 3, 2007 and November 25, 2006, respectively, which were previously reported in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets; and
· to other, net, $25 for the nine months ended November 25, 2006, which was previously reported in asset impairment charges on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported consolidated operating income, net earnings, shareholders equity or cash flows.
New Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In
8

addition, under SFAS No. 141R, changes in an acquired entitys deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We will adopt SFAS No. 141R beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. This standard will change our accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We will adopt SFAS No. 160 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Companies are not allowed to adopt SFAS No. 159 on a retrospective basis unless they choose early adoption. We will adopt SFAS No. 159 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157, as originally issued, was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on December 14, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS157-b, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year, as it relates to nonfinancial assets and liabilities. We will adopt SFAS No. 157 as it relates to financial assets and liabilities beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
2. Acquisitions
Speakeasy, Inc.
On May 1, 2007, we acquired Speakeasy, Inc. (Speakeasy) for $103 in cash, or $89 net of cash acquired, including transaction costs and the repayment of $5 of Speakeasys debt. We acquired Speakeasy, an independent U.S. broadband voice, data and IT services provider, to strengthen our portfolio of technology solutions. We accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, we recorded the net assets at their estimated fair values, and included operating results in our Domestic segment from the date of acquisition. We allocated the purchase price on a preliminary basis using information currently available. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired will be finalized no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2009, as we obtain more information regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase. The premium we paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired was primarily for the expected synergies we believe Speakeasy will generate by providing new technology solutions for our existing and future customers, as well as to obtain Speakeasys skilled, established workforce. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The preliminary purchase price allocation, net of cash acquired, was as follows:

Jiangsu Five Star Appliance Co., Ltd.
On June 8, 2006, we acquired a 75% interest in Jiangsu Five Star Appliance Co., Ltd. (Five Star) for $184, including a working capital injection of $122 and transaction costs. Five Star is an appliance and consumer electronics retailer and had 131 stores located in eight of Chinas 34 provinces on the date of acquisition. We made the investment in Five Star to further our international growth plans, to increase our knowledge of Chinese customers and to obtain an immediate retail presence in China. We accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS No. 141. Accordingly, we recorded the net assets at their estimated fair values, and included operating results in our International segment from the date of acquisition. We allocated the purchase price on a preliminary basis using information then available. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired was finalized in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. There was no significant adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Debt Securities
Short-term and long-term investments in debt securities are comprised of auction-rate securities, variable-rate demand notes, asset-backed securities, municipal debt securities, and commercial paper. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and based on our ability to market and to sell these instruments, we classify auction-rate securities, variable-rate demand notes and other investments in debt securities as available-for-sale and carry them at fair value. Auction-rate securities and variable-rate demand notes are similar to short-term debt instruments because their interest rates are reset periodically. Investments in these securities can be sold for cash on the auction date. We classify auction-rate securities and variable-rate demand notes as short-term or long-term investments based on the reset dates.

$ in millions, except per share amounts
In accordance with our investment policy, we place our investments in debt securities with issuers who have high-quality credit and limit the amount of investment exposure to any one issuer. We seek to preserve principal and minimize exposure to interest-rate fluctuations by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk.
The following table presents the amortized principal amounts, related weighted-average interest rates (taxable equivalent), maturities and major security types for our investments in debt securities:

The carrying values of our investments in debt securities are at fair value at December 1, 2007; March 3, 2007; and November 25, 2006. Due to the rapid turnover of our portfolio and the highly liquid nature of these investments, there were no significant unrealized holding gains or losses. Realized gains and losses are included in investment income and other in the consolidated statements of earnings and were not significant for any period presented. The decrease in the balance of investments in debt securities compared with the balances at March 3, 2007, and at November 25, 2006, was due to the liquidation of a substantial portion of our investments portfolio to repay our bridge loan facility and to fund our accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program. See Note 4, Credit Facilities, for further information on the bridge loan facility, and Note 7, Common Stock Repurchases, for further information on the ASR program.
Marketable Equity Securities
We also invest in marketable equity securities and classify them as available-for-sale. Investments in marketable equity securities are included in equity and other investments in our consolidated balance sheets, and are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. All unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity.
The carrying values of our investments in marketable equity securities at December 1, 2007; March 3, 2007; and November 25, 2006, were $214, $4 and $5, respectively. The increase in marketable equity securities since March 3, 2007, was primarily due to our investment in The Carphone Warehouse Group PLC (CPW), Europes leading independent retailer of mobile phones and services. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we purchased in the open market 26.1 million shares of CPW common stock for $183, representing nearly 3% of CPWs outstanding shares.
Net unrealized (loss)/gain, net of tax, included in accumulated other comprehensive income were $11, $(1) and $12 at December 1, 2007; March 3, 2007; and November 25, 2006, respectively.
Other Investments
We also have investments that are accounted for on either the cost method or the equity method that we include in equity and other investments and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate carrying values of these investments at December 1, 2007; March 3, 2007; and November 25, 2006, were $16, $16 and $33, respectively. The decrease in other investments included in other current assets from November 25, 2006 to March 3, 2007, was due to the sale of our investment in Golf Galaxy, Inc. (Golf Galaxy) in February 2007. At November 25, 2006, the carrying value of our investment in Golf Galaxy was $23.

4. Credit Facilities
On June 26, 2007, we entered into a $3,000 bridge loan facility with Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. (the Bridge Facility), concurrently with the execution of agreements to purchase $3,000 of shares of our common stock in the aggregate pursuant to our ASR program. See Note 7, Common Stock Repurchases, for further information on the ASR program. We initially borrowed $2,500 under the Bridge Facility and used $500 of our existing cash and investments to fund the ASR program. Effective July 11, 2007, we reduced the amount we could borrow under the Bridge Facility to $2,500.
Effective July 2, 2007, we terminated our previous $200 revolving credit facility that was scheduled to expire on December 22, 2009.
On September 19, 2007, we entered into a $2,500 five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JP Morgan), as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks (the Lenders). The Credit Agreement permits borrowings up to $2,500, which may be increased up to $3,000 at our option and upon the consent of JPMorgan and each of the Lenders providing an incremental credit commitment. The Credit Agreement includes a $300 letter of credit sub-limit and a $200 foreign currency sub-limit. The Credit Agreement terminates in September 2012.
Interest rates under the Credit Agreement are variable and are determined at our option at: (i) the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or JPMorgans prime rate, or (ii) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus applicable LIBOR margin. A facility fee is assessed on the commitment amount. Both the LIBOR margin and the facility fee are based upon our current senior unsecured debt rating. The LIBOR margin ranges from 0.32% to 0.60%, and the facility fee ranges from 0.08% to 0.15%.
The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by specified subsidiaries and contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other things, these covenants restrict or prohibit our ability to incur certain types or amounts of indebtedness, incur liens on certain assets, make material changes to our corporate structure or the nature of our business, dispose of material assets, allow non-material subsidiaries to make guarantees, engage in a change in control transaction, or engage in certain transactions with our affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that require us to maintain a maximum quarterly cash flow leverage ratio and a minimum quarterly interest coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary default provisions including, but not limited to, failure to pay interest or principal when due and failure to comply with covenants.
Concurrently with the execution of the Credit Agreement, we borrowed $1,350 under the Credit Agreement and used $1,150 of the proceeds to repay the outstanding balance on the Bridge Facility. Accordingly, the Bridge Facility was terminated effective September 19, 2007. The remaining $200 borrowed under the Credit Agreement was used for general corporate purposes. At December 1, 2007, $275 was outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
5. Income Taxes
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, effective March 4, 2007. FIN No. 48 provides guidance regarding the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in the financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including the decision whether to file in a particular jurisdiction. The adoption of FIN No. 48 resulted in the reclassification of $196 of tax liabilities from current to long-term and a $13 increase in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the March 4, 2007, retained earnings balance.
At March 4, 2007, our total liability for unrecognized tax benefits, after the adoption of FIN No. 48, was $196, of which $84 represented tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $240 at December 1, 2007, of which $100 represents tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate.
We accrue interest and penalties in income tax expense in our consolidated statements of earnings. At March 4, 2007, we had accrued interest and penalties of $30, of which $16, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. Our liability for accrued interest was $42 at December 1, 2007, of which $23 represents tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate.
12
$ in millions, except per share amounts
We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal 2003. In April 2007, the Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, and resolution of the issues pertaining to those years is expected in fiscal 2009. However, we do not expect that the resolution of these issues will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
6. Earnings per Share
Our basic earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options, nonvested share awards and shares issuable under our employee stock purchase plan, as well as common shares that would have resulted from the assumed conversion of our convertible debentures. Since the potentially dilutive shares related to the convertible debentures are included in the calculation, the related interest expense, net of tax, is added back to net earnings, as the interest would not have been paid if the convertible debentures had been converted to common stock. Nonvested market-based awards and nonvested performance-based awards are included in the average diluted shares outstanding each period if established market or performance criteria have been met at the end of the respective periods.

The computation of average dilutive shares outstanding excluded stock options to purchase 10.0 million and 4.3 million shares of common stock for the three months ended December 1, 2007, and November 25, 2006, respectively, and 10.0 million and 4.6 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended December 1, 2007, and November 25, 2006, respectively. These amounts were excluded because the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock for the periods presented and, therefore, their effect would be antidilutive (i.e., including such options would result in higher earnings per share).
7. Common Stock Repurchases
On June 26, 2007, our Board of Directors (Board) authorized a new $5,500 share repurchase program. The new program has no stated expiration date. The new program terminated and replaced our prior $1,500 share repurchase program authorized by our Board in June 2006. The June 2006 share repurchase program terminated and replaced our

In the nine months ended December 1, 2007, we purchased and retired 9.8 million shares at a cost of $461 under our June 2006 share repurchase program. We made no open market purchases during the three months ended December 1, 2007, under our June 2007 share repurchase program.
In the three and nine months ended November 25, 2006, we purchased and retired 0.5 million and 3.3 million shares, respectively, at a cost of $22 and $152, under our June 2006 share repurchase program. We also purchased and retired 6.2 million shares at a cost of $332 under our April 2005 share repurchase program during the period from February 26, 2006, through June 21, 2006. Retired shares constitute authorized but unissued shares.
Accelerated Share Repurchase Program
In accordance with our June 2007 share repurchase program, on June 26, 2007, we entered into an ASR program authorized by our Board. The ASR program consists of two agreements to purchase shares of our common stock from Goldman, Sachs & Co. (Goldman) for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000. Goldman borrowed the shares that were delivered to us as described below, and is expected to purchase sufficient shares of our common stock in the open market to return to lenders over the terms of the agreements. The ASR program is scheduled to conclude in February 2008, although in certain circumstances the termination date may be modified. The actual number of shares repurchased will be determined at the completion of the ASR program. We do not expect to make significant additional share repurchases prior to the conclusion of the ASR program. Repurchased shares have been retired and constitute authorized but unissued shares.
Collared ASR
Under the first agreement (the Collared ASR), the number of shares to be repurchased is based generally on the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock during the term of the Collared ASR, subject to collar provisions that established minimum and maximum numbers of shares based on the VWAP of our common stock over the specified hedge period. On July 2, 2007, we paid $2,000 to Goldman in exchange for an initial delivery of 28.3 million shares to us on July 2-6, 2007, under the terms of the Collared ASR.
Pursuant to the terms of the Collared ASR, the hedge period for determining the minimum and maximum numbers of shares to be purchased ended on July 24, 2007. The minimum has been set at 38.7 million shares and the maximum has been set at 44.8 million shares. Goldman delivered 10.4 million additional shares to us on July 27, 2007. Accordingly, we have received a total of 38.7 million shares from Goldman at December 1, 2007, equivalent to the minimum number of shares to be delivered under the terms of the Collared ASR. At the conclusion of the Collared ASR, we may receive additional shares based on the VWAP of our common stock during the agreement term, up to the maximum 44.8 million shares.
Uncollared ASR
Under the second agreement (the Uncollared ASR), the number of shares to be repurchased is based generally on the VWAP of our common stock during the term of the Uncollared ASR. On July 2, 2007, we paid $1,000 to Goldman under the terms of the Uncollared ASR in exchange for an initial delivery of 17.0 million shares to us on July 30-31, 2007, subject to a 20%, or $200, holdback. At the conclusion of the Uncollared ASR, we may receive additional shares, or we may be required to pay additional cash or shares (at our option), based on the VWAP of our common stock during the agreement term. At December 1, 2007, the $200 holdback was shown on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as prepaid stock repurchase in shareholders equity.

8. Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is computed as net earnings plus other items that are recorded directly to shareholders equity. In addition to net earnings, the components of comprehensive income are foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale marketable equity securities. Foreign currency translation adjustments do not include a provision for income tax expense when earnings from foreign operations are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. Comprehensive income was $346 and $123 in the three months ended December 1, 2007, and November 25, 2006, respectively, and $964 and $633 in the nine months ended December 1, 2007, and November 25, 2006, respectively.
9. Segments
We operate two reportable segments: Domestic and International. The Domestic segment is comprised of all U.S. store, call center and online operations. The International segment is comprised of all store, call center and online operations outside the U.S. We have included Speakeasy, which we acquired on May 1, 2007, in the Domestic segment. Our segments are evaluated on an operating income basis, and a stand-alone tax provision is not calculated for each segment. To conform to the current-year presentation, we reclassified to the International segment $3 and $6 of SG&A support costs for the three and nine months ended November 25, 2006, respectively, which were reported as part of the Domestic segment in fiscal 2007. The other accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007.

The changes in the Domestic goodwill balance since March 3, 2007, and November 25, 2006, were due primarily to the acquisition of Speakeasy. The increase in the International goodwill balance since November 25, 2006, was due primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the finalization of Five Stars purchase price allocation. The increase in the International goodwill balance since March 3, 2007 was due primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

10. Contingencies
We are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of conducting business. We believe the amounts provided in our consolidated financial statements are adequate in consideration of the probable and estimable liabilities. The resolution of those proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

11. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
Our convertible debentures, which mature in 2022, are guaranteed by our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary Best Buy Stores, L.P. Investments in subsidiaries of Best Buy Stores, L.P. which have not guaranteed the convertible debentures, are accounted for under the equity method. We reclassified certain prior-year amounts as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The aggregate principal balance and carrying amount of our convertible debentures was $402 at December 1, 2007.
The debentures may be converted into shares of our common stock if certain criteria are met. These criteria are described in Note 5, Debt, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2007. During a portion of the nine months ended November 25, 2006, our closing stock price exceeded the specified stock price for more than 20 trading days in a 30-trading-day period. Therefore, debenture holders had the option to convert their debentures into shares of our common stock. However, no debenture was so converted. Due to changes in the price of our common stock, the debentures were no longer convertible at November 25, 2006.
We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Income taxes are allocated in accordance with our tax allocation agreement. U.S. affiliates receive no tax benefit for taxable losses, but are allocated taxes at the required effective income tax rate if they have taxable income.
The following tables present condensed consolidating balance sheets at December 1, 2007; March 3, 2007; and November 25, 2006; condensed consolidating statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended December 1, 2007, and November 25, 2006; and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 1, 2007, and November 25, 2006:
