6. Hurricane Irene and Impact on our Company Stores

 

In August 2011, Hurricane Irene had a major effect on certain portions of the Northeast region and resulted in the significant interruption of business for eleven of our Company stores. As of September 10, 2011, nine of these stores had fully resumed operations. We are currently working to re-open one other store and the remaining impacted store is currently providing limited sales of merchandise.

 

We maintain insurance coverage for this type of loss which provides for reimbursement from losses resulting from property damage, loss of product as well as business interruption coverage. As of the balance sheet date, we were able to determine that we incurred impairment losses of $5.3 million for property, plant and equipment that was damaged as a result of the Hurricane, as well as an inventory loss of $6.9 million. We also determined that we incurred $0.8 million in other related hurricane costs, which has been recorded in "Store operating, general and administrative expense" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Our Company is currently assessing the remaining extent of our losses in the Northeast region and we expect to recover the losses caused by Hurricane Irene in excess of our estimated insurance deductible of approximately $1.0 million, which was recorded in "Store operating, general and administrative expense" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 12 and 28 weeks ended September 10, 2011. We recorded approximately $12.0 million in receivable related to the amount we expect to recover for impairment and out-of-pocket expenses in excess of our estimated insurance deductible.
