Hurricane Irene And Impact On Our Company Stores

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 December 3, 2011, ten of these stores had fully resumed operations but one remains closed.

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. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded an impairment loss of $5.3 million for property, plant and equipment that was damaged as a result of the hurricane, an inventory loss of $6.9 million and $0.8 million in other related hurricane costs.

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 during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. We also recorded $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.

During the 12 weeks ended December 3, 2011, we recorded an additional $1.9 million in other related hurricane costs. We also received cash payments of $15.0 million, representing a portion of our losses that we expect to recover. As part of the $15.0 million cash payments, $8.0 million related to recoveries for inventory losses, $6.5 million related to fixed assets and $0.5 million related to out-of-pocket expenses.
