6. Discontinued Operations

In evaluating whether store closures qualify for discontinued operations classification, the Company considers each store to be a component of a business, as this is the lowest level at which the operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes. If the cash flows of a store to be exited will not be significant to the Company's ongoing operations and cash inflows of nearby Company stores are not expected to increase significantly because of the exit, the results of operations of the store are reported in discontinued operations. Costs incurred to dispose of a location are included in gain (loss) on disposal of discontinued operations only if the location qualifies for discontinued operations classification; otherwise, such costs are reported as continuing operations.

The Company closed one non-remodeled, underperforming store during the 28 weeks ended January 11, 2012. During the 28 weeks ended January 12, 2011, the Company closed 30 non-remodeled, underperforming stores.

Results of operations for the 31 closed stores were classified as discontinued operations. Net sales from discontinued operations for the 16 and 28 weeks ended January 11, 2012, were $0.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Net sales from discontinued operations for the 16 and 28 weeks ended January 12, 2011, were $4.0 million and $54.2 million, respectively.
