Discontinued Operations

Note 3.           Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations are presented in accordance with FASB ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements. During fiscal 2010 we closed two locations: one dual-branded restaurant in Commerce City, Colorado in March 2010 and one co-developed restaurant in Denver, Colorado in June 2010. Fixed assets and associated accumulated depreciation of $406,000 related to the Commerce City location are included in the property and equipment of our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Current and long-term liabilities related to discontinued operations relate to the future estimated lease obligations of the Commerce City location.

Following is a summary of the costs from discontinued operations for the current and prior year periods:

With respect to the Commerce City closed location, we have continuing aggregate lease obligations of $663,000 and we have subleased the location for $528,000 in aggregate sublease income.
