[1] The liability for the amount due to participants corresponding in value to the securities held in the grantor trust is recorded in other long-term liabilities.

[2] 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 SG&A expenses and were nil during 2014 and 2013.

[3] In accordance with ASC No. 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, using an undiscounted cash flow model, we 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 2014. We use a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of our 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 $3.9 million in 2014 and $12.6 million in 2013 were written down to their estimated fair value of $3.3 million in 2014 and $4.6 million in 2013, resulting in impairment charges of approximately $0.6 million during 2014 and $8.0 million during 2013. 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 15 for additional disclosures on the Steele's divestiture.
