4 NON‐RECURRING EXPENSES<br />

(A) REORGANISATION OF UNITED STATES OPERATIONS<br />

On 29 June 2009 the Company announced a reorganisation in the United States of its<br />

35 retail stores operated by a wholly owned United States registered subsidiary company,<br />

<strong>Pumpkin</strong> <strong>Patch</strong> LLC.<br />

Under the reorganisation plan <strong>Pumpkin</strong> <strong>Patch</strong> LLC made the decision to close 15 stores<br />

in July 2009. All 15 stores were closed in July and August 2009 and <strong>Pumpkin</strong> <strong>Patch</strong> LLC<br />

renegotiated the leases on the remaining 20 stores which continue to trade uninterrupted<br />

and under normal course of business.<br />

The reorganisation was conducted utilising Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy<br />

Code which provides certain legal protections while businesses implement reorganisations<br />

of the nature undertaken by <strong>Pumpkin</strong> <strong>Patch</strong> LLC. A hearing was held on 27 May 2010<br />

in the United States Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, during which the reorganisation plan<br />

was approved. The plan was effected on 16 August 2010 at which point notice was given<br />

to all outstanding creditors, resulting in <strong>Pumpkin</strong> <strong>Patch</strong> LLC exiting from Chapter 11<br />

on that date.<br />

An accrual for costs totalling $39,900,000 was reflected in the <strong>Group</strong> financial statements<br />

in the 2009 financial year. This accrual consisted of costs relating to the writing off<br />

and impairment of all fixed assets at the United States stores, inventory revaluation,<br />

employee entitlements, legal and professional costs, and other costs directly related to the<br />

reorganisation. No further costs relating to the restructuring of <strong>Pumpkin</strong> <strong>Patch</strong> LLC were<br />

incurred in the 2010 financial year nor are expected to be incurred in future periods.<br />

<strong>Financial</strong> information relating to the discontinued operation for the 2009 financial year is<br />

set out in section (C) below. Further information is set out in note 5 - segment information.<br />

(B) IMPAIRMENT OF URBAN ANGEL AND UNITED KINGDOM STORES<br />

In July 2009, management reviewed the performance of all stores. As a result of this<br />

review, management identified that the assets of a number of the Company’s stores in<br />

the United Kingdom, as well all its stand‐alone Urban Angel stores in New Zealand were<br />

impaired, based upon below par performance during the 2009 financial year with no sign<br />

of any improvement in the short to medium term. Accordingly, an impairment charge was<br />

recorded in the 2009 financial statements totalling $6,540,000, of which $6,377,000<br />

related to the United Kingdom stores and $163,000 related to the stand‐alone Urban<br />

Angel stores. Refer to point (D) below.<br />

A review of store performance during the 2010 financial year did not identify any<br />

indicators of impairment, thus no impairment charge has been recorded in the current year.<br />
