Goodwill

Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with ASC Section 350-20 and is reported as a component of the Company’s Retail segment.  The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill (in thousands):

Balance as of January 1, 2011
  $ 32,407  
Effect of foreign currency translation
    (101 )
Balance as of December 31, 2011
    32,306  
Effect of foreign currency translation
    1,364  
Impairment
    (33,670 )
Balance as of December 29, 2012
  $ -  

Due primarily to the decline in the market value of the Company’s share price at the impairment testing date of December 29, 2012, the fair value related to the UK reporting unit was less than its carrying amount which resulted in an impairment charge of $33.7 million.  This represented the entire balance of the Company’s goodwill.

There was no tax-deductible goodwill as of December 29, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
