During the first quarter of 2013, we began exploring strategic alternatives for our New Ventures self-service concept for refurbished electronics called OrangoTM. We determined that certain assets related to this concept would be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of their previously established useful lives and estimated that their fair value less costs to sell utilizing a cash flow approach exceeded their carrying value by $3.0 million. We consequently recorded charges of $2.5 million to depreciation expense and $0.5 million to direct operating expense in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We did not separately present the assets or liabilities as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets because the amount is immaterial.
