Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Participants and Administrator of

Urban Outfitters 401(k) Savings Plan

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Urban Outfitters 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Urban Outfitters 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information included in the schedule of assets held for investment purposes at end of year at December 31, 2002 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The information in the schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

URBAN OUTFITTERS 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 and 2001

 

1.   Description of Plan:

 

The following description of Urban Outfitters, Inc. (the “Company”) 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General:

 

The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering all employees who have completed six months of service and have attained age 18. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

 

Contributions:

 

Participants may elect to contribute 1% to 20% (increased to 25% effective July 1, 2003) of their eligible compensation, as defined, to the Plan, subject to certain limitations as outlined in the Plan.

 

The Company may make matching contributions (allocated based on participant contributions for the year) and additional discretionary contributions (allocated based on participant compensation). To be eligible for employer contributions, a participant must have completed one year of continuous service. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company made matching contributions equal to 25% of the first 6% of an employee’s compensation deferred under the Plan. No additional discretionary contributions were made.

 

Participant accounts:

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s elective and rollover contributions and an allocation of Plan investment earnings and the Company’s contribution, and charged with withdrawals and distributions and a share of Plan investment losses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. Effective July 1, 1999, for other than non-participant directed holdings of Urban Outfitters, Inc. common stock as of June 30, 1999 and Company discretionary contributions which will be used to purchase Urban Outfitters, Inc. common stock, participants are able to direct the investment of their accounts, including the purchase of additional shares of Urban Outfitters, Inc. common stock. Effective January 1, 2003, participants may direct previously non-directed Urban Outfitters, Inc. common stock into any Plan investment. Participants may change their self-directed investment options at any time.

 

Vesting:

 

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus or minus actual earnings or losses thereon. Vesting in the Company’s contributions is graded over five years of credited service. Participants become 100% vested if separated from service on account of retirement, death or disability.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 and 2001

 

1.   Description of Plan (continued):

 

Forfeitures:

 

Forfeited Company contributions are used first to pay the administrative expenses of the Plan and then to reduce the Company’s contributions for such plan year. Forfeitures of $51,032 in 2002 and $9,601 in 2001 were used to pay administrative expenses of the plan and reduce employer contributions. Net assets available for benefits include forfeited balances of approximately $18,000 at December 31, 2002 and $34,000 at December 31, 2001.

 

Participant loans:

 

Participants may borrow from their vested accounts a minimum of $500 and up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the value of the participant’s vested interest in their account. Loan terms range from one to five years, or up to fifteen years for the purchase of a residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the prime rate plus 1%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

 

Payment of benefits:

 

A participant who separates from service before retirement, death or disability may request early payment of their vested benefits. Benefits are paid as soon as administratively feasible following the date on which a distribution is requested. A participant whose vested account exceeds $5,000 may elect to defer the payment of benefits until April 1 of the calendar year following the attainment of age 70½.

 

Separated participants may request an in-kind distribution of the portion of their vested account invested in Urban Outfitters, Inc. stock.

 

Participants, upon attainment of age 59½, may elect to receive in-service distributions. Hardship withdrawals are also permitted.

 

Plan assets allocated to the accounts of persons who have terminated employment with the Company but have not withdrawn from the Plan approximated $765,000 at December 31, 2002 and $620,000 at December 31, 2001.

 

2.   Summary of significant accounting policies:

 

Basis of accounting:

 

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
