Eminent Domain Matter

On approximately March 13, 2018, the Orange County Transportation Authority (“OCTA”) filed an eminent domain action against the Company and its Westminster, California, store location to acquire the Company’s interest in the property for public purposes related to a transportation project. The Company surrendered possession of this location on approximately January 31, 2019. On March 31, 2020, the Company and representatives of the OCTA agreed to a preliminary settlement of the proceedings, which was formally approved by the OCTA’s Board on approximately April 27, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, on May 21, 2020, the Company received a cash condemnation settlement from the OCTA in the amount of $2.5 million for lost profit and property. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain for the $2.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 related to the settlement, of which $0.2 million represented lost property and equipment, which was included as other income in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Attorneys’ fees related to this settlement totaled $0.1 million in fiscal 2020 and were included in selling and administrative expense in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Recovery of Insurance Proceeds

In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, seven of the Company’s stores were damaged and qualified for loss recovery claims as a result of civil unrest, and the Company disposed of assets of approximately $0.6 million related to lost inventory and property and equipment. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company reached an agreement with its insurance carrier and, after application of a deductible of $0.3 million, the Company received a cash insurance recovery of $1.3 million in total, of which $1.0 million related to the reimbursement of lost inventory and profit margin, $0.2 million related to the reimbursement of property and equipment, and $0.1 million related to a reimbursement for business interruption. Accordingly, the Company recognized gains of $0.5 million related to the recovery of lost profit margin and business interruption, and $0.2 million related to the recovery of property and equipment. The gain related to the recovery of lost profit margin and business interruption is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to cost of goods sold, and the gain related to the recovery of lost property and equipment is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to selling and administrative expense for fiscal 2021.

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
