The Company has a formal note receivable agreement with the purchaser of Trade Secret. The Company recorded valuation reserves of $9.0 and $22.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The carrying value of the note receivable was fully reserved as of June 30, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, there were no significant changes in the amount or timing of the expected future cash flows of the note receivable with the purchaser of Trade Secret.  The Company has determined the collectibility of accrued interest on the note receivable to be less than probable. The Company suspended recognition of interest income effective April 2010, has recorded a valuation allowance of $3.8 million as of December 31, 2011 related to the accrued interest, and will use the cash basis method for recognizing future interest income. The Company did not receive interest payments from the purchaser of Trade Secret during the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Beginning within the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company has an agreement in which the Company provides warehouse services to the purchaser of Trade Secret. Under the warehouse services agreement, the Company recognized $0.4 and $0.7 million of other income related to warehouse services during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company utilized the consolidation of variable interest entities guidance to determine whether or not Trade Secret was a VIE, and if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of Trade Secret. The Company concluded that Trade Secret is a VIE based on the fact that the equity investment at risk in Trade Secret is insufficient. The Company determined that the purchaser of Trade Secret has met the power criterion due to the purchaser of Trade Secret having the authority to direct the activities that most significantly impact Trade Secret’s economic performance. The Company concluded based on the consideration above that the primary beneficiary of Trade Secret is the purchaser of Trade Secret. The exposure to loss related to the Company’s involvement with Trade Secret is the guarantee of approximately 30 operating leases. The Company has determined the exposure to the risk of loss on the guarantee of the operating leases to be immaterial to the financial statements.
