[1] Using the market approach, the fair values of these items represent quoted market prices multiplied by the quantities held. Net gains and losses related to the changes in fair value in the assets and liabilities under the various deferred compensation plans are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and were nil during 2013 and 2012.

[2] The Company has recorded in other long-term liabilities amounts related to these assets for the amount due to participants corresponding in value to the securities held in the grantor trust.

[3] In accordance with ASC No. 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, using an undiscounted cash flow model, the Company identified certain stores whose cash flow trends indicated that the carrying value of store property, equipment and leasehold improvements may not be fully recoverable and determined that impairment charges were necessary for 2013. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of its impaired assets. Key assumptions in determining future cash flows include, among other things, expected future operating performance and changes in economic conditions. Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $12.6 million in 2013 and $4.0 million in 2012 were written down to their estimated fair value of $4.6 million in 2013 and $3.0 million in 2012, resulting in impairment charges of approximately $8.0 million during 2013 and $1.0 million during 2012. The $8.0 million in 2013 includes approximately $7.3 million of impairment charges for Steele's, which was disposed of subsequent to February 1, 2014. See Note 16 for additional disclosures on the Steele's divestiture.
