9.	Sale of Company-Owned Stores

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company sold 14 Company-owned stores to a franchisee. In connection with the sale of these 14 stores, the Company recorded a $1.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the related assets, which was net of a $0.5 million reduction in goodwill. The gain was recorded in general and administrative expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. This transaction will not have a material ongoing impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results.

As a result of the capital gain recognized in connection with the sale of the 14 Company-owned stores, the Company also released $0.3 million of a deferred tax valuation allowance.
