DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During fiscal 2012, we entered into an agreement with a third party distribution service provider pursuant to a Board-approved plan to sell our Jack in the Box distribution business. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we completed the transition of our distribution centers. The distribution business assets sold in the transaction are classified as assets of discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012. The operations and cash flows of the business have been eliminated and in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the results are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

As of April 14, 2013, there were no assets or liabilities classified as held for sale related to our distribution business. The following is a summary of our distribution business assets held for sale as of September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

Inventories	$	26,844
Property and equipment, net	3,747
Total assets of discontinued operations	$	30,591

The following is a summary of our distribution business operating results, which are included in discontinued operations for each period (in thousands):
