1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed balance sheet as of May 3, 2008 and the condensed statements of income and cash flows for the thirteen-week periods ended May 3, 2008 and May 5, 2007 have been prepared by Citi Trends, Inc. (the “Company”), without audit. The condensed balance sheet as of February 2, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all required year end disclosures.  In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of May 3, 2008 and February 2, 2008, and its results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2008.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are also prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the interim period ended May 3, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009.

The following contains references to years 2008 and 2007, which represent fiscal years ending or ended on January 31, 2009 (fiscal 2008) and February 2, 2008 (fiscal 2007), respectively. Fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 both have 52-week accounting periods.

2. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the potential common shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all dilutive stock options and vesting of nonvested restricted stock. During loss periods, diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share to the number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008 and May 5, 2007:

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, Earnings per Share, the Company calculates the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation arrangements using the treasury stock method.  This method assumes that the proceeds the Company receives from the exercise of stock options are used to repurchase common shares in the market.  In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, the Company includes as assumed proceeds the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of outstanding options and vesting of nonvested restricted stock.  For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008 and May 5, 2007, there were 81,000 and 2,000 options outstanding, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution.  For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008 and May 5, 2007, there were no shares of nonvested restricted stock included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution.

4. Fair Value Measurement

Effective February 3, 2008, the Company adopted the methods of fair value as described in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, to value its financial assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market at the measurement date. This statement also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2:  Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. Level 3 inputs are given the lowest priority in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at May 3, 2008 (in thousands):

Investment securities on the condensed balance sheets consist exclusively of municipal auction rate securities (“ARS”) issued by student loan funding organizations. These securities are high-grade (AAA rated with at least one rating agency) and approximately 84% of them are either guaranteed by the Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (40%) or backed by insurance companies, AMBAC Assurance Corporation (35%) and MBIA Insurance Corporation (9%). Historically, the ARS provided liquidity via an auction process that reset the interest rate every 35 days, allowing investors to either roll over their investments or sell them at par. Beginning in February 2008, there was insufficient demand for these types of investments during the auctions and, as a result, these securities are not currently liquid. The Company may not be able to access cash by selling these securities without incurring a loss of principal until either, liquidity returns to the auction process, a secondary market emerges, they are redeemed by the issuer, or they mature in years ranging from 2010 to 2040.

The Company classifies its ARS as available-for-sale and, therefore, they are carried at estimated fair value. As of May 3, 2008, there was insufficient observable market information available to determine the fair value of the Company’s ARS. Accordingly, the Company estimated Level 3 fair values for these securities based on assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. These assumptions included, among other things, discounted cash flow projections, the timing of expected future successful auctions, collateralization of the underlying securities and the credit worthiness of the issuer.  Through February 2, 2008, the ARS were valued at par value due to the frequent resets that historically occurred through the auction process.

As a result of the temporary declines in fair value for the Company’s ARS, which the Company attributes to current liquidity issues rather than credit issues, it has recorded an unrealized loss of $1,371,000 (net of tax) to accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed balance sheet as of May 3, 2008. The Company believes the current illiquid conditions are temporary in nature and that it has the ability to hold the ARS until liquidity returns to the market. If it is later determined that the fair value of these securities is other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company will record a loss in the statement of income. Due to the Company’s belief that the market for these investments may take in excess of twelve months to fully recover, the Company has classified them as noncurrent assets on the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of May 3, 2008.

5. Comprehensive Income

The components of comprehensive income for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

6. Revolving Line of Credit

In March 2008, the Company obtained a $35 million unsecured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, replacing a $3 million facility that had been scheduled to expire on June 30, 2008.  The $35 million facility has a term of 364 days, has an unused commitment fee equal to 0.15%, and has one restrictive financial covenant (adjusted leverage ratio).  Loans under the facility bear interest at either (a) a rate equal to the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate, plus an applicable margin; or (b) a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is dependent on the Company’s adjusted leverage ratio and ranges from 1.00% to 1.50% for LIBOR-based loans, and from 0.00% to 0.50% for prime rate-based loans. The Company has had no borrowings under this facility.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company from time to time is involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business, including claims by customers, employees or former employees.  While litigation is subject to uncertainties and the outcome of any litigated matter is not predictable, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against it that it expects to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective February 3, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards, except for measurements of share-based payments and measurements that are similar to, but not intended to be, fair value and does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement No. 157, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to its financial assets and financial liabilities only. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. See related disclosures in Note 4.

Effective February 3, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.   SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure specified financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Election of the fair value option is irrevocable and is applied on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company has elected not to apply the fair value option to the specified financial assets and financial liabilities, and accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no financial statement impact.

9. Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.  The decrease of cash and accounts payable through a reclassification of outstanding checks for all prior periods caused net cash used in operating activities shown in the statements of cash flows to increase by $1,012,000 from that previously reported for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007.

Overview

We are a rapidly growing, value-priced retailer of urban fashion apparel and accessories for the entire family. Our merchandise offerings are designed to appeal to the preferences of fashion conscious consumers, particularly African-Americans. Originally our stores were located in the Southeast, and in recent years we expanded into the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions and Texas. We operate 331 stores in both urban and rural markets in 20 states.

We measure performance using key operating statistics. One of the main performance measures we use is comparable store sales growth. We define a comparable store as a store that has been opened for an entire fiscal year. Therefore, a store will not be considered a comparable store until its 13th month of operation at the earliest or until its 24th month at the latest. As an example, stores opened in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 are not considered comparable stores in fiscal 2008. Relocated and expanded stores are included in the comparable store sales results. We also use other operating statistics, most notably average sales per store, to measure our performance. As we typically occupy existing space in established shopping centers rather than sites built specifically for our stores, store square footage (and therefore sales per square foot) varies by store. We focus on overall store sales volume as the critical driver of profitability. The average sales per store has increased over the years, as we have increased comparable store sales and opened new stores that are generally larger than our historical store base. Average sales per store increased from $0.8 million in fiscal 2000 to $1.5 million in fiscal 2007. In addition to sales, we measure gross profit as a percentage of sales and store operating expenses, with a particular focus on labor, as a percentage of sales. These results translate into store level contribution, which we use to evaluate overall performance of each individual store. Finally, we monitor corporate expenses against budgeted amounts.

Accounting Periods

The following discussion contains references to fiscal years 2008 and 2007, which represent fiscal years ending or ended on January 31, 2009 (fiscal 2008) and February 2, 2008 (fiscal 2007), respectively. Fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 both have 52-week accounting periods. This discussion and analysis should be read with the condensed financial statements and the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of the Company’s financial performance is based on the condensed financial statements set forth herein. The nature of the Company’s business is seasonal. Historically, sales in the first and fourth quarters have been higher than sales achieved in the second and

9

third quarters of the fiscal year. Expenses and, to a greater extent, operating income vary by quarter. Results of a period shorter than a full year may not be indicative of results expected for the entire year. Furthermore, the seasonal nature of the Company’s business may affect comparisons between periods.

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 2008 and May 5, 2007

Net Sales.  Net sales increased $14.4 million, or 13.5%, to $121.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008 from $106.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2007.  The increase in net sales was due primarily to 36 new stores opened since last year’s first quarter, together with a 0.3% increase in comparable store sales. Comparable stores include locations that have been relocated or expanded. There were 4 stores relocated or expanded in the first quarter of 2008 and 12 stores relocated or expanded in fiscal 2007, all of which impacted comparable store sales. Sales in comparable relocated and expanded stores increased 14.8% in the first quarter of 2008, while sales in all other comparable stores decreased 0.8%. The 0.3% increase in comparable store sales consisted of a 0.9% increase in the average customer purchase, partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in the number of customer transactions. Comparable store sales changes by major merchandise class were as follows in the first quarter of 2008:  Children’s +5%; Women’s 0%; Home 0%; Men’s -3%; Accessories -4%.

The new stores opened in 2007 and 2008, which are not yet included in comparable store sales, accounted for $14.1 million of the total increase in sales, while the 0.3% sales increase in the 277 comparable stores contributed $0.3 million.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $5.1 million, or 12.1%, to $46.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 from $41.7 million last year.  The increase in gross profit is a result of the increase in sales, partially offset by a reduction in the gross margin from 39.1% in last year’s first quarter to 38.6% this year.  This decrease in gross margin resulted from higher merchandise markdowns as a percentage of sales caused by the sluggish sales environment in the first quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.6 million, or 18.5%, to $36.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 from $30.6 million in last year’s first quarter.  The increase in these expenses was due primarily to additional store level, distribution and corporate costs arising from the opening of 36 new stores since May 5, 2007.  As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter to 30.0% from 28.7% last year, due primarily to the deleveraging effect that occurs on expenses as a percentage of sales when comparable store sales increase at a rate, 0.3%, that is lower than the rate of inflation on expenses. In particular, payroll as a percentage of sales was up 60 basis points and occupancy expenses were 40 basis points higher.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.9 million, or 31.3%, to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2008 from $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2007, as the result of capital expenditures incurred for new and relocated/expanded stores.

Interest Income.  Interest income increased to $868,000 from $645,000 in the first quarter of 2007 due primarily to higher contractual interest rates being earned on our investments in auction rate securities once the auctions of such securities began to fail after February 2, 2008. See the discussion of auction rate securities below under “Cash Requirements” for more information.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased to $87,000 in the first quarter of 2008 from $144,000 last year due to the normal decline in the interest portion of payments on our capital lease obligations as the principal portion of such obligations is reduced.

Income Tax Expense.  The provision for income taxes decreased 21.1% to $2.4 million in this year’s first quarter from $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2007.  The income tax rate in the first quarter of 2008 was 32.0% compared to 35.0% last year.  Taxable income in 2008 is expected to be taxed at a rate closer to the actual full year 2007 rate (31.0%) than the 35% rate estimated in the first quarter of 2007.  The effective income tax rate reflects the benefit of tax-exempt interest income and various income tax credits.

Net Income.  Net income decreased 9.7% to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 from $5.7 million in last year’s first quarter due to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements are primarily for working capital, expansion of our distribution infrastructure, construction of new stores, remodeling of our existing stores and the improvement of our information systems. Historically, we have met these cash requirements from cash flow from operations, short-term trade credit, borrowings under our revolving lines of credit, long-term debt and capital leases, and cash proceeds from our initial public offering.  We expect to be able to meet future cash requirements with cash flow from operations, short-term trade credit, existing cash balances and borrowings under our  revolving credit facility.

10

Current Financial Condition. As of May 3, 2008, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million compared with total cash and cash equivalents of $6.2 million as of February 2, 2008. Inventory represented 39.0% of our total assets as of May 3, 2008. Management’s ability to manage our inventory can have a significant impact on our cash flows from operations during a given interim period or fiscal year. In addition, inventory purchases can be seasonal in nature, such as the purchase of warm-weather or Christmas-related merchandise.  Total inventories at the end of the first quarter of 2008 were down $2.1 million, or 2.5%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007, while inventory in comparable stores was 13% lower, due to our efforts to conservatively control inventory in light of the slow sales environment.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to cash used in operating activities of $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The main sources of cash provided during the first quarter of this year were net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and noncash stock-based compensation expense, totaling $8.4 million, and an increase in income tax payable of $2.3 million. Significant uses of cash consisted of a $1.3 million decrease in accounts payable, a $1.3 million decrease in accrued compensation, a $1.0 million decrease in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities and a $0.8 million increase in inventory.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $7.8 million in the first quarter of this year compared to cash provided by investing activities of $0.2 million in last year’s first quarter. Purchases of property and equipment included in cash flows from investing activities totaled $7.1 million and $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was due primarily to construction work related to the expansion of the Darlington, South Carolina distribution center. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of both years also included routine amounts for new stores, relocated and expanded stores and other general corporate purposes. Net purchases of municipal auction rate securities used cash of $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and net sales of such securities provided cash of $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Cash flows from financing activities were insignificant in the first quarter of both years.

Cash Requirements

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of: (i) cash and cash equivalents (which equaled $4.7 million as of May 3, 2008); (ii) short-term trade credit; (iii) cash generated from operations on an ongoing basis as we sell our merchandise inventory; and (iv) a $35 million revolving credit facility. Short-term trade credit, which arises from customary payment terms and trade practices with our vendors, represents a significant source of financing for inventory purchases. Historically, our principal liquidity requirements have been for working capital and capital expenditure needs.

As of May 3, 2008, the Company had $53.7 million of investments in municipal auction rate securities (“ARS”) issued by student loan funding organizations. These securities are high-grade (AAA rated with at least one rating agency) and approximately 84% of them are either guaranteed by the Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (40%) or backed by insurance companies, AMBAC Assurance Corporation (35%) and MBIA Insurance Corporation (9%). Historically, the ARS provided liquidity via an auction process that reset the interest rate every 35 days, allowing investors to either roll over their investments or sell them at par. Beginning in February 2008, there was insufficient demand for these types of investments during the auctions and, as a result, these securities are not currently liquid. The Company may not be able to access cash by selling these securities without incurring a loss of principal until either, liquidity returns to the auction process, a secondary market emerges, they are redeemed by the issuer, or they mature in years ranging from 2010 to 2040.

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 24 months.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no material changes to the Critical Accounting Policies outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to financial market risks related to changes in interest rates connected with our revolving line of credit, which bears interest at variable rates. We cannot predict market fluctuations in interest rates. As a result, future results may differ materially from estimated results due to adverse changes in interest rates or debt availability. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in prevailing market interest rates would not have materially impacted our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2008.  We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes and have not entered into any interest rate hedging contracts.

11

We source all of our product from apparel markets in the United States in U.S. Dollars and, therefore, are not directly subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. However, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could affect our purchasing power with vendors that import merchandise to sell to us. We have not entered into forward contracts to hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency prices.

As of May 3, 2008, the Company had $53.7 million of investments in municipal auction rate securities (“ARS”) issued by student loan funding organizations. These securities are high-grade (AAA rated with at least one rating agency) and approximately 84% of them are either guaranteed by the Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (40%) or backed by insurance companies, AMBAC Assurance Corporation (35%) and MBIA Insurance Corporation (9%). Historically, the ARS provided liquidity via an auction process that reset the interest rate every 35 days, allowing investors to either roll over their investments or sell them at par. Beginning in February 2008, there was insufficient demand for these types of investments during the auctions and, as a result, these securities are not currently liquid. The Company may not be able to access cash by selling these securities without incurring a loss of principal until either, liquidity returns to the auction process, a secondary market emerges, they are redeemed by the issuer, or they mature in years ranging from 2010 to 2040.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 3, 2008 pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information has been accumulated and communicated to our management, including the officers who certify our financial reports, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made this 2nd day of April 2008, is by and between Citi Trends, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Elizabeth Feher, an individual (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive are also parties to an Employment Non-Compete, Non-Solicit and Confidentiality Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) which is to remain in full force and effect; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.             Term of Employment.  The Executive’s employment shall commence with the execution of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement and shall continue, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, on an at-will basis, until either the Executive or the Company terminates the employment relationship for any or no reason, with or without Cause (as defined in Section 4 below).  If Executive terminates the Agreement, she agrees to provide the Company with a minimum of thirty (30) days written notice.

2.             Nature of Duties.  The Executive shall, during her employment hereunder, be the Company’s Executive Vice President – Chief Merchandising Officer. Executive’s primary job duties shall include development and implementation of the Company’s national merchandising strategy, including development of vendor relationships, pricing and inventory plans, sales plans and other duties as more fully described in the applicable job description.  The Executive shall devote her full business time and effort to the performance of her duties to the Company.

3.             Compensation.

A.            The Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at an annual rate of $350,000, which may be adjusted from time to time at the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and/or Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  The Executive’s base salary shall be paid in conformity with the Company’s salary payment practices that are generally applicable to similarly situated Company executives.  The Executive will be eligible for a performance compensation review in March 2009.

B.            The Executive shall receive an automobile allowance of $1,000 per month.

C.            The Executive shall be eligible for consideration of a discretionary bonus under the Company’s Executive Management Level Bonus Plan, which is currently 65% of base salary with the opportunity to achieve up to 200% of the bonus plan percent.  Executive is eligible for a prorated portion of the FY2008 bonus for the months the Executive is employed with the Company during FY2008.  However, Citi Trends will guarantee the Executive a minimum bonus payout of $80,000 for FY2008.  The Executive must be employed with The Company at the time the bonus is paid to receive a payout.  The Company  may revise or eliminate the Executive Management Level Bonus Plan at any time without notice at its sole discretion.

D.            The Executive is guaranteed $75,000 in relocation expense reimbursement for selling costs and closing costs related to real estate transactions.  If the Executive voluntarily

terminates the Executive’s employment within 12 months of the Executive’s hire date, the Executive will be obligated to refund these relocation costs to the Company on a pro-rata basis.

E.             The Company will pay for the cost of packing and moving the Executive’s household items and vehicles to the Savannah area and will provide temporary housing for 90 days.  If the Executive voluntarily terminates the Executive’s employment within 24 months of the Executive’s hire date, the Executive will be obligated to refund these relocation costs to the Company.

F.             Upon the Executive’s start date with the Company, the Executive will be awarded restricted stock valued at $300,000, fully vested in four years at the rate of 25% per year.

G.            The Executive will be eligible for the following benefits as an executive management employee:

·                                          401(k) profit sharing account;

·                                          Equity Awards: Consideration for Annual Restricted Stock Awards based on company performance and personal performance achievements;

·                                          Health, dental, life and disability insurance; and

·                                          Vacation: 4 weeks per year.

These benefits set forth in Section 3.G. are offered at the Company’s sole discretion and may be modified or eliminated by the Company at any time without notice.

4.             Termination Payments and Benefits.  Regardless of the circumstances of the Executive’s termination, she shall be entitled to payment when due of any unpaid base salary, expense reimbursements and vacation days accrued prior to the termination of her employment, and other unpaid vested amounts or benefits under Company pension and health benefit plans, and to no other compensation or benefits.  If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, the Company will provide the Executive with a separation payment of six (6) months base salary, to be paid in six (6) equal monthly installments beginning on the date of the termination of the Executive and each of the successive five (5) month anniversaries of such termination.  These separation payments are conditioned upon Executive executing a Separation and General Release Agreement at the time of termination which is acceptable to the Company and the Executive.

In all other circumstances, including if the Executive resigns, retires or is terminated for Cause, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive such separation payment.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Executive’s:

(a)           commission of a willful act of fraud or dishonesty, the purpose or effect of which, in the CEO and/or Board’s sole determination, materially and adversely affects the Company;

(b)           conviction of a felony or a crime involving embezzlement, conversion of property or moral turpitude (whether by plea of nolo contendere or otherwise);

2

(c)           engaging in willful or reckless misconduct or gross negligence in connection with any property or activity of the Company, the purpose or effect of which, in the CEO and/or Board’s determination, materially and adversely affects the Company;

(d)           material breach of any of the Executive’s obligations as an employee or  stockholder as set forth in the Company’s Information Security Policies and Code of Business Conduct; provided that the Executive has been given written notice by the CEO and/or Board of such breach and 30 days from such notice fails to cure the breach; or

(e)           failure or refusal to perform any material duty or responsibility under this Agreement or a determination that the Executive has breached her fiduciary obligations to the Company; provided that the Executive has been given written notice by the CEO and/or Board of such failure, refusal or breach and 30 days from such notice fails to cure such failure, refusal or breach.

5.             Notice.  The Executive will send all communications to the Company in writing, to: Citi Trends, Inc., 102 Fahm Street., Savannah, Georgia 31401, Fax: (912) 443-3674.  All communications from the Company to the Executive relating to this Agreement shall be sent to the Executive in writing at her office and home address as reflected in the Company’s records.

6.             Amendment.  No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged except by a written document signed by a duly authorized Company officer and the Executive.  A waiver of any conditions or provisions of this Agreement in a given instance shall not be deemed a waiver of such conditions or provisions at any other time in the future.

7.             Choice of Law and Venue.  The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia (excluding any that mandate the use of another jurisdiction’s laws).  Any action to enforce or for breach of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of the County of Chatman, City of Savannah.

8.             Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Executive and her estate, but the Executive may not assign or pledge this Agreement or any rights arising under it, except to the extent permitted under the terms of the benefit plans in which she participates.  Without the Executive’s consent, the Company may assign this Agreement to any affiliate or to a successor to substantially all the business and assets of the Company.

9.             Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

10.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

11.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement between the parties constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede any and all prior contracts, agreements, or understandings between the parties which may have been entered into by Company and the Executive relating to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by both Company and the

3

Executive.  The failure of either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision or the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.  All remedies are cumulative, including the right of either party to seek equitable relief in addition to money damages.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands as of the day and year first written above.

EXHIBIT 10.3

EMPLOYMENT NON-COMPETE, NON-SOLICIT AND
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT NON-COMPETE, NON-SOLICIT AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) IS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN CITI TRENDS, INC. (“COMPANY”), AND ELIZABETH FEHER (“EMPLOYEE”), EFFECTIVE AS OF THE 2nd DAY OF APRIL, 2008.

For and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree:

1.             Employment; Scope of Services.  Company shall employ Employee, and Employee shall be employed by Company, as its Executive Vice President – Chief Merchandising Officer (“Executive VP”). Employee’s primary job duties shall include development and implementation of the Company’s national merchandising strategy, including development of vendor relationships, pricing and inventory plans, sales plans and other duties as more fully described in the applicable job description (“Services”).

2.             At-Will Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement alters the at-will employment relationship between Employee and Company. Employment with Company is “at-will” which means that either Employee or Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without notice, with or without cause. The date of Employee’s cessation of employment for any reason is the “Separation Date.”

3.             Confidentiality.

(a)           Employee acknowledges and agrees that (1) the retail sale of value-priced/off-price family apparel is an extremely competitive industry; (2) Company has an ongoing strategy for expansion of its business in the United States; (3) Company’s major competitors operate throughout the United States and some internationally; and (4) because of Employee’s position as Executive VP, she will have access to, knowledge of, and be entrusted with, highly sensitive and competitive Confidential Information (as defined in subsection (b) below) of Company, including without limitation information regarding sales margins, purchasing and pricing strategies, marketing strategies, vendors and suppliers, plans for expansion and placement of stores, and also specific information about Company’s districts and stores, such as staffing, budgets, profits and the financial success of individual districts and stores.

(b)           “Confidential Information” includes technical or sales data, formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, processes, financial data and statements, financial plans and strategies, product plans, sales or advertising information and plans, marketing information and plans, pricing information, the identity or lists of employees, vendors and suppliers of Company, and confidential or proprietary information of such employees, vendors and suppliers. Employee acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information is confidential and remains the sole and exclusive property of

1

Company. Employee agrees that he shall (a) hold all Confidential Information in strictest confidence; (b) not disclose, reproduce, distribute or otherwise disseminate such Confidential Information, and shall protect such Confidential Information from disclosure by or to others; and (c) make no use of such Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Company, except in connection with Employee’s employment with Company. “Confidential Information” means any and all data and information relating to Company which (i) derive independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known or readily ascertainable by proper means by other persons who may obtain economic value from their disclosure or use; and (ii) are the subject of reasonable efforts under the circumstances to maintain their secrecy.

(c)           In the event any Confidential Information does not qualify for protection as “trade secrets” as defined in the Georgia Trade Secrets Act, then Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed by Employee during Employee’s employment with Company and for a period of two (2) years following the Separation Date, absent the express prior written consent of Company. Trade secret information shall remain confidential so long as such information qualifies as a trade secret under applicable law.

(d)           Employee acknowledges that Company has provided or will provide Employee with Company property, including without limitation employee handbooks, policy manuals, price lists, financial reports, and vendor and supplier information, among other items. Upon the Separation Date, or upon the request of Company, Employee shall immediately deliver to Company all property belonging to Company, including without limitation all Confidential Information and any property related to Company, whether in electronic or other format, as well as any copies thereof, then in Employee’s custody, control or possession. Upon the Separation Date, Employee shall provide Company with a declaration certifying that all Confidential Information and any other Company property have been returned to Company, that Employee has not kept any copies of such items or distributed such items to any third party, and that Employee has otherwise complied with the terms of Section 3 of this Agreement.

4.             Covenant Not to Compete.  During Employee’s employment with Company and for a period of one (1) year following the Separation Date, provided that the separation is based on either a termination for Cause as defined in the Employment Agreement executed by the parties or Employee’s resignation, Employee shall not compete with Company on behalf of a Competitor in the business of value-priced/off-price family apparel in the following states: South Carolina; Georgia; Alabama; Florida; North Carolina; Mississippi; Louisiana; Arkansas; Tennessee; Texas; Virginia; Ohio; Indiana; Kentucky; or Michigan, by acting as an Executive Vice President – Chief Merchandising Officer of such Competitor, or rendering any of the following services to such Competitor: developing or implementing marketing strategy; developing vendor relationships, pricing or inventory plans; or developing sales plans. For purposes of this Section 4, the term “Competitor” shall mean only the following businesses whose primary business is the sale of value-priced or off-price family apparel, commonly known as: Cato, TJX (including without limitation TJMAXX and Marshalls), and Ross Stores. This covenant will not be applicable in the event that Employee is terminated by

2

the Company for reasons other than “cause” as defined in the Employment Agreement executed by the parties.

5.             Covenant Not to Recruit Personnel. During Employee’s employment with Company and for a period of two (2) years following the Separation Date, and regardless of the reason for separation, Employee will not recruit or solicit to hire or assist others in recruiting or soliciting to hire, any employee of Company with whom Employee had Material Contact, supervised or was integral in the researching and hiring process, and will not cause or assist others in causing any employee of Company to terminate an employment relationship with Company.  “Material Contact” means contact which takes place to conduct or further the Company’s business.

6.             Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions, and any partially enforceable provisions to the extent enforceable, shall be binding and remain in full force and effect. Further, each particular prohibition or restriction set forth in any Section of this Agreement shall be deemed a severable unit, and if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any portion of such prohibition or restriction is against the policy of the law in any respect, but such restraint, considered as a whole, is not so clearly unreasonable and overreaching in its terms as to be unconscionable, the court or arbitrator shall enforce so much of such restraint as is determined by a preponderance of the evidence to be necessary to protect the interests of Company.

7.             Survival of Covenants.  All rights and covenants contained in Sections 3, 4, and 5, of this Agreement, and all remedies relating thereto, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

8.             Choice of Law and Venue.  The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia (excluding any that mandate the use of another jurisdiction’s laws).  Any action to enforce or for breach of this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of the County of Chatman, City of Savannah.

9.             Acknowledgment of Reasonableness/Remedies/Enforcement.

(a)           Employee acknowledges that (1) Company has valid interests to protect pursuant to Sections 3, 4, and 5 of this Agreement; (2) her breach of the provisions of Sections 3, 4 and/or 5 of this Agreement would result in irreparable injury and permanent damage to Company; and (3) such restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect the interests of Company, are critical to the success of Company’s business, and do not cause undue hardship on Employee.

(b)           Employee agrees that determining damages in the event of a breach of Sections 3, 4, 5, or 6 by Employee would be difficult and that money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries and damages which would be suffered by Company from such breach. Employee further agrees that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach and that in the event of such breach Company, in addition to and without

3

limiting any other remedies or rights which it may have, may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction and seek interim, provisional, injunctive, or other equitable relief.  Employee and Company waive any requirement that a bond or any other security be posted.

10.           Miscellaneous.  This Agreement and the Employment Agreement between the parties constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any and all prior contracts, agreements, or understandings between the parties which may have been entered into by Company and Employee relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by both Company and Employee. The failure of either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision or the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. All remedies are cumulative, including the right of either party to seek equitable relief in addition to money damages.

EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SHE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS ITS CONTENTS, THAT SHE ENTERS INTO THIS AGREEMENT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND THAT SHE INDICATES HER CONSENT BY SIGNING THIS FINAL PAGE.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement under seal as of the day and year first above written.
