At October 30, 2010, the assumptions in the Company’s model included different recovery periods, ranging from 8 to 20 months, depending on the type of security and varying discount factors for yield, ranging from 0.3% to 0.4%, and illiquidity of 0.5%. At October 31, 2009, the assumptions in the Company’s model included different recovery periods, ranging from 12 months to 11 years, depending on the type of security and varying discount factors for yield, ranging from 0.3% to 7.5%, and illiquidity, ranging from 0.3% to 1.0%. These assumptions are subjective. They are based on the Company’s current judgment and its view of current market conditions. The use of different assumptions would result in a different valuation and related charge. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of the discounted cash flow analysis, during the 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, the Company recognized a net impairment of $0.6 million. The total cumulative impairment recognized in OCI prior to the Company’s liquidation of $176.4 million par value ($163.3 million carrying value) available-for-sale securities during the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010 was $10.9 million ($6.8 million, net of tax). Total cumulative impairment recognized in OCI at the end of Fiscal 2009 was $10.3 million ($6.4 million, net of tax). The increase in temporary impairment was primarily driven by unfavorable changes in the discount rate. These amounts were previously recorded in OCI and resulted in a decrease in the investments’ estimated fair values. As a result of a credit rating downgrade on a student-loan backed ARS, the Company also recorded a net impairment loss in earnings of $1.2 million during the 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As previously described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company liquidated $176.4 million par value ($163.3 million carrying value) of its available-for-sale securities. Through the liquidation, the Company received proceeds of $149.6 million plus accrued interest and recognized a loss in its consolidated financial statements of operations for the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010 of $24.2 million, net of the ARS Call Option gain of $0.4 million. The recognized loss included all $10.9 million of cumulative impairment which was previously included in OCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The fair value of the ARS Call Option described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements was also estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The model considered potential changes in yields for securities with similar characteristics to the underlying ARS and evaluated possible future refinancing opportunities for the issuers of the ARS. The analysis then assessed the likelihood that the options would be exercisable as a result of the underlying ARS being redeemed or traded in a secondary market at an amount greater than the exercise price prior to the end of the option term. Future changes in the fair values of the ARS Call Option will be recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following table presents a rollforward of the amount of OTTI related to credit losses that has been recognized in earnings: </div> <div align="center"> <table style="font-size: 10pt;

However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required and the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial instrument for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial asset be recorded at the estimated fair value. As a result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test performed as of January 30, 2010, the Company concluded that its goodwill was not impaired. During the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010, there were no triggering events that prompted an asset impairment test of the Company’s goodwill. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Certain long-lived assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820. Based on the decision to close all M+O stores in Fiscal 2010, the Company determined that the M+O stores not previously impaired would not be able to generate sufficient cash flow over the life of the related leases to recover the Company’s initial investment in them. Therefore, during the 26 weeks ended July 31, 2010, the M+O stores not previously impaired were written down to their fair value, resulting in a loss on impairment of assets of $18.0 million. The loss on impairment of assets was recorded within Loss from Discontinued Operations for the 39 weeks ended October 30, 2010. The fair value of those stores were determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows and discounting them using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates future cash flows based on its experience and knowledge of the market in which the store is located. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the discontinued operations for M+O. </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false us-types:textBlockItemType textblock This element represents the disclosure related to the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities which includes [financial] instruments measured at fair value that are classified in stockholders' equity.
