NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
11. LEASE TERMINATION COSTS
The Company approved plans in June 2009 and July 2008 to close approximately 80 and 160, respectively, underperforming company-
owned salons. As lease settlements were negotiated, the Company found that some lessors were willing to negotiate rent reductions which
allowed the Company to keep operating certain salons. As a result, the number of salons closed was less than the amount of salons per the
approved plans. For salons that did not receive rent reductions, the Company ceased using the right to use the leased property or negotiated a
lease termination agreement with the lessors. Lease termination costs represents either the lease settlement or the net present value of remaining
contractual lease payments related to closed salons, reduced by estimated sublease rentals. Lease termination costs from continuing operations
are presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The plans are substantially complete.
The activity reflected in the accrual for lease termination costs is as follows:
12. LITIGATION
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other large retail
employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations. Litigation is
inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the Company's counsel believes that the
Company has valid defenses in these matters, it could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material
adverse effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements in any particular period.
During fiscal year 2011, the Company settled a legal claim with the former owner of Hair Club for $1.7 million.
During fiscal year 2010, the Company settled two legal claims regarding certain customer and employee matters for an aggregate charge of
$5.2 million plus a commitment to provide discount coupons. Payments aggregating $4.3 and $0.9 million were made during fiscal years 2011
and 2010, respectively.
