On February 16, 2009, the Company sold its Trade Secret salon concept (Trade Secret). The Company reported Trade Secret as a discontinued operation.

 

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. 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 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 nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

The purchaser of Trade Secret emerged from bankruptcy in March 2012 and in conjunction, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement in which the principal balance of the note receivable was reduced to $18.0 million. Payments of $0.5 million are due quarterly beginning on May 31, 2012. Upon receipt of the quarterly payments through February 2019 the remaining principal and unpaid interest will be forgiven.

 

Effective in 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 $0.3 and $0.6 million of other income related to warehouse services during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $1.2 and $2.0 million, respectively, of other income related to warehouse services.

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.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a $1.1 million tax benefit in discontinued operations related to the release of tax reserves associated with the disposition of the Trade Secret salon concept.
