Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
We have been executing plans to improve our performance. These measures include consolidating and reconfiguring manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and processes to eliminate waste and improve efficiency, managing product inventory levels better to reflect consumer demand, transforming our transportation methods to be more cost effective, exiting unprofitable retail locations, limiting our credit exposure to weak retail partners, and discontinuing unprofitable lines of business and licensing arrangements. In addition, we have been executing plans to reduce our workforce and to centralize certain functions.
Restructuring and asset impairment charges associated with these measures include the following:

Asset impairment charges were recorded to reduce the carrying value of idle facilities and related assets to their net realizable value. The determination of impairment charges is based primarily upon (i) consultations with real estate brokers, (ii) proceeds from recent sales of Company facilities, and (iii) the market prices being obtained for similar long-lived assets. Qualifying assets related to restructuring are recorded as assets held for sale within Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until sold. Total assets held for sale were $11,246 at June 30, 2012 and $13,553 at December 31, 2011. We own additional facilities that are being leased until they are sold with a book value of $3,300 at June 30, 2012 and recorded as assets in use within Property, Plant, and Equipment.
Closed store occupancy and lease costs include occupancy costs associated with closed retail locations, early contract termination settlements for retail leases, and closed store lease liabilities representing the present value of the remaining lease rentals reduced by the current market rate for sublease rentals of similar properties. This liability is reviewed quarterly and adjusted, as necessary, to reflect changes in estimated sublease rentals.
