NOTE 11 – COMPANY OWNED STORE CLOSURES


In November 2013 the Company closed four under performing Company-owned Aspen Leaf Yogurt Cafés. The operation of these locations was transferred to U-Swirl, Inc. in January 2013 as a part of the transaction to acquire a controlling interest in U-Swirl, Inc. These assets were transferred in exchange for $400,000 in non-recourse promissory notes.


During the three months ended November 30, 2012 the Company recorded an impairment charge for certain long-lived assets associated with the continued operation of Aspen Leaf Yogurt locations; see Note 10 to these financial statements. The impairment loss recorded in the three months ended November 30, 2012 considered the value of assets associated with these closures and during that period the assets were reduced to their estimated fair value at that time.


The Company has performed a subsequent review of the fair value of these assets and has determined that no further impairment is necessary. These assets will be utilized in Company-owned U-Swirl, Inc. locations, or sold to prospective U-Swirl, Inc. franchisees. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value of these assets.
