Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]

3. Discontinued operations

During fiscal 2010, we classified three owned properties as assets held for sale, one of which was sold in fiscal 2010, one of which was sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and one which was sold subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Additionally, during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2011, we sold two owned properties to a third party not previously classified as assets held for sale. Lastly, we classified a property in discontinued operations as a result of an early termination of a ground lease. Refer to Note 2 entitled “Real estate, net” for further details regarding the properties sold in fiscal 2011 and corresponding termination payments.

We reported the operating results for these properties as Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010. The operating results for these properties classified as discontinued operations through October 29, 2011 were derived from our historical financial information and have been segregated from continuing operations and reported separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010, respectively. These amounts have been summarized below:
