Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On October 22, 2007, the Board of Directors of Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc. (the “Company”) approved management’s recommendation to explore strategic alternatives for the Company’s demo stores and to close its One Thousand Steps stores. The Company plans to engage an investment banker to assist in identifying and evaluating strategic alternatives for the 154 demo stores and to close the nine One Thousand Steps stores as soon as is practical.
The determination to take these actions resulted from a comprehensive review and evaluation of the real estate portfolio and profit performance of the Company’s demo and One Thousand Steps stores. The demo and One Thousand Steps stores collectively have generated a total pre-tax operating loss of approximately $21 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2007 (excluding previously announced lease termination and asset impairment charges).
As a result of these actions, the Company estimates that it will recognize non-cash fixed asset impairment charges on demo stores of approximately $48 million and inventory reserve charges for demo and One Thousand Steps aggregating approximately $4 million in its third quarter ending November 3, 2007. The Company may incur additional charges, both cash and non-cash, in the future related to potential lease terminations and related costs, inventory liquidation costs, employee retention and severance obligations, and/or agency fees associated with the evaluation or implementation of potential strategic alternatives. The actual amounts and timing of such charges, if any, will not be known until various strategic alternatives are evaluated and a definitive course of action is determined.
