 (19)           Restricted Cash and Investments

During fiscal 2010, we transferred $17.3 million of cash into two restricted accounts. We transferred $11.3 million as collateral for our workmen’s compensation and other insurance liabilities, previously secured by a letter of credit. We also transferred $6.0 million into a separate restricted account as collateral for the issuer of our private label credit cards to ensure funding for delivery of products sold. These restricted funds, which can be invested by us in money market mutual funds, and U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government agency fixed income instruments with maturities of two years or less, cannot be withdrawn from our account without the prior written consent of the secured parties. These restricted funds are classified as long-term assets because they are not expected to be used within one year to fund operations. In fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, $1.0 million was transferred to operating cash from the restricted accounts each year due to a lowering of our collateral requirement for workmen’s compensation insurance.
