Note 9. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations


Assets Held for Sale


We classify an asset group as held for sale if the location has been sold, we have ceased operations at that location or the store meets the criteria required by U.S. generally accepted accounting standards as follows:


 

●

our management team, possessing the necessary authority, commits to a plan to sell the store;


 

●

the store is available for immediate sale in its present condition;


 

●

an active program to locate buyers and other actions that are required to sell the store are initiated;


 

●

a market for the store exists and we believe its sale is likely within one year;


 

●

active marketing of the store commences at a price that is reasonable in relation to the estimated fair market value; and


 

●

our management team believes it is unlikely changes will be made to the plan or the plan to dispose of the store will be withdrawn.


As of December 31, 2014, we had two Import stores classified as held for sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we completed the sale of one Import store, which was previously classified as held for sale, and recognized a gain of $3.3 million as a component of selling, general and administrative on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Discontinued Operations


In the third quarter of 2014, we early-adopted guidance that redefined discontinued operations. As a result, we determined that individual stores which met the criteria for held for sale after our adoption date would no longer qualify for classification as discontinued operations. We had previously reclassified a store’s operations to discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, on a comparable basis for all periods presented, provided we did not expect to have any significant continuing involvement in the store’s operations after its disposal.


Certain financial information related to discontinued operations was as follows (in thousands):
