NOTE 4 – RESERVES FOR CLOSED PROPERTIES AND PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT-RELATED IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

Reserves for Closed Properties

The Company maintains reserves for costs associated with closures of retail stores, distribution centers and other properties that are no longer being utilized in current operations. The Company provides for closed property operating lease liabilities using a discount rate to calculate the present value of the remaining noncancellable lease payments after the closing date, reduced by estimated subtenant rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property. Adjustments to closed property reserves primarily relate to changes in subtenant income or actual exit costs differing from original estimates.

Changes in the Company’s reserves for closed properties consisted of the following:


	June 14, 2014
Reserves for closed properties at beginning of the fiscal year	$	47
Additions		1
Payments		(4	)
Adjustments		(1	)

Reserves for closed properties at the end of period	$	43

Property, Plant and Equipment and Lease Reserve Impairment Charges

Property, plant and equipment and lease reserve impairment charges are recorded as a component of Selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The calculation of the closed property charges requires significant judgments and estimates including estimated subtenant rentals, discount rates, and future cash flows based on the Company’s experience and knowledge of the market in which the closed property is located, previous efforts to dispose of similar assets and the assessment of existing market conditions.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company did not incur any property, plant and equipment-related impairment charges. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, property, plant and equipment-related assets with a carrying amount of $21 were written down to their fair value of $5, resulting in impairment charges of $16. First quarter fiscal 2014 impairment charges primarily related to the write-off of certain software support tools that would no longer be utilized in operations and surplus property impairments.
