BEST BUY CO., INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($ in millions, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms Best Buy, we, us and our in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to Best Buy Co., Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All adjustments were comprised of normal recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Historically, we have realized more of our revenue and earnings in the fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday shopping season in the U.S., Europe and Canada, than in any other fiscal quarter. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. The interim financial statements and the related notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009.
We consolidate the financial results of our Europe, China and Mexico operations on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events that would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the three months ended May 30, 2009.
Reclassifications
To maintain consistency and comparability, we reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009. To conform to the current-year presentation, we reclassified to customer relationships, $4 at May 31, 2008, which was previously reported in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.
In addition, as a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51, as described below in New Accounting Standards, we:
· reclassified to noncontrolling interests, a component of shareholders equity, $513 and $40 at February 28, 2009, and May 31, 2008, respectively, which was previously reported as minority interests on our condensed consolidated balance sheets;
· reported as separate captions within our consolidated statements of earnings, net earnings including noncontrolling interests, net (earnings) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, and net earnings attributable to Best Buy Co., Inc. of $178, $1 and $179, respectively, for the three months ended May 31, 2008; and
· utilized net earnings including noncontrolling interests of $178 for the three months ended May 31, 2008 as the starting point on our consolidated statements of cash flows in order to reconcile net earnings to cash flows from operating activities, rather than beginning with net earnings, which was previously exclusive of noncontrolling interests.
These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported consolidated operating income, net earnings attributable to Best Buy Co., Inc., or net cash flows from operating activities. Also, earnings per share continues to be based on net earnings attributable to Best Buy Co., Inc.

New Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes only two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), authoritative and nonauthoritative. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) will become the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. We will begin to use the new guidelines and numbering system prescribed by the Codification when referring to GAAP in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it will not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140. The new standard eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entitys continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We will adopt SFAS No. 166 in fiscal 2011 and are evaluating the impact it will have to our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. This standard is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. We will adopt SFAS No. 165 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and do not expect that it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three FASB Staff Positions (FSP) intended to provide additional application guidance and enhanced disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides additional guidelines for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. FSP No. 115-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, provides additional guidance related to the disclosure of impairment losses on securities and the accounting for impairment losses on debt securities. FSP No. 115-2 does not amend existing guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, increases the frequency of fair value disclosures. These FSPs are effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009 and will be effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. We are evaluating the impact these FSPs will have on our financial statements and related disclosures, but do not expect that they will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand the effect these instruments and activities have on an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Our adoption of SFAS No. 161 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. However, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we entered into significant derivative hedging contracts and, accordingly, we have included the disclosures required by SFAS No. 161 in Note 7, Derivative Instruments, which are provided on a prospective basis.
8
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations (141R). SFAS No. 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS No. 141R, changes in an acquired entitys deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS No. 141R on March 1, 2009, which changed our accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of shareholders equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS No. 160 on March 1, 2009, and applied the provisions of the standard prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which we applied retrospectively. Our adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements other than the following reporting and disclosure changes which we applied retrospectively to all periods presented:
(i) we recharacterized minority interests previously reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interests and classified them as a component of shareholders equity;
(ii) we adjusted certain captions previously utilized on our consolidated statements of earnings to specifically identify net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests and net earnings attributable to Best Buy Co., Inc.; and
(iii) in order to reconcile net earnings to the cash flows from operating activities, we changed the starting point on our consolidated statements of cash flows from net earnings to net earnings including noncontrolling interests with net earnings or loss from the noncontrolling interest (previously, minority interests) no longer a reconciling item in arriving at net cash flows from operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
Additional disclosures required by this standard are included in Note 9, Supplemental Equity and Comprehensive Income Information.
2. Acquisitions
Five Star
We acquired a 75% interest in Jiangsu Five Star Appliance Co., Ltd. (Five Star) in June 2006, for $184, which included a working capital injection of $122. At the time of the acquisition, we also entered into an agreement with Five Stars minority shareholders to acquire the remaining 25% interest in Five Star within four years, subject to Chinese government approval.
On February 6, 2009, we were granted a business license to acquire the remaining 25% interest in Five Star and our acquisition converted Five Star into a wholly-owned foreign enterprise. The $191 purchase price for the remaining 25% interest was primarily based on a previously agreed-upon pricing formula, consisting of a base purchase price and an earn-out for the remaining Five Star shareholders. The amount paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired, as agreed to at the time of the initial purchase, furthers our international growth plans and accelerates the integration of Best Buy and Five Star in China.
The acquisition of the remaining 25% interest in Five Star for $191 was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. We recorded the net assets acquired at their estimated fair values. We included Five Stars operating results, which are reported on a two-month lag, from the date of acquisition as part of our International segment. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and will be finalized no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Napster
On October 25, 2008, we acquired Napster, Inc. (Napster) for $121 (or $100 net of cash acquired), pursuant to a cash tender offer whereby all issued and outstanding shares of Napster common stock, and all stock purchase rights associated with such shares, were acquired by us at a price of $2.65 per share. Of the $121 purchase price, $4 represented our previous ownership interest in Napster common shares. The effective acquisition date for accounting purposes was the close of business on October 31, 2008, the end of Napsters fiscal October.
We entered into this transaction as we believe Napster has one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-use digital music offerings in the industry. The amount we paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired was to obtain Napsters capabilities and digital subscriber base to reach new customers with an enhanced experience for exploring and selecting music and other digital entertainment products over an increasing array of devices, such as bundling the sale of hardware with digital services. We believe the combined capabilities of our two companies allows us to build stronger relationships with customers and expand the number of subscribers.
We have consolidated Napster in our financial results as part of our Domestic segment from the date of acquisition. We accounted for the acquisition pursuant to SFAS No. 141, using the purchase method. Accordingly, we recorded the net assets acquired at their estimated fair values and allocated the purchase price on a preliminary basis using information then available. The allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities will be finalized no later than the third quarter of fiscal 2010, as we obtain more information regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of acquisition. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Best Buy Europe
On May 7, 2008, we entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with The Carphone Warehouse Group PLC (CPW). All conditions to closing were satisfied, and the transaction was consummated on June 30, 2008. The effective acquisition date for accounting purposes was the close of business on June 28, 2008, the end of CPWs fiscal first quarter. Pursuant to the transaction, CPW contributed certain assets and liabilities into a newly-formed company,
10
Best Buy Europe Distributions Limited (Best Buy Europe), in exchange for all of the ordinary shares of Best Buy Europe, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Best Buy Distributions Limited, purchased 50% of such ordinary shares of Best Buy Europe from CPW for an aggregate purchase price of $2,167. In addition to the purchase price paid to CPW, we incurred $29 of transactions costs for an aggregate purchase price of $2,196.
Pursuant to the shareholders agreement with CPW, our designees to the Best Buy Europe board of directors have ultimate approval rights over select Best Buy Europe senior management positions and the annual capital and operating budgets of Best Buy Europe.
The assets and liabilities contributed to Best Buy Europe by CPW included CPWs retail and distribution business, consisting of retail stores and online offerings; mobile airtime reselling operations; device insurance operations; fixed line telecommunications businesses in Spain and Switzerland; facilities management business, under which it bills and manages the customers of network operators in the U.K.; dealer business, under which it acts as a wholesale distributor of handsets and airtime vouchers; and economic interests in pre-existing commercial arrangements with us (Best Buy Mobile in the U.S. and the Geek Squad joint venture in the U.K. and Spain).
The amount we paid at the time of acquisition in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired was primarily for (i) the expected future cash flows derived from the existing business and infrastructure contributed to Best Buy Europe by CPW, which included over 2,400 retail stores, (ii) immediate access to the European market with a management team that is experienced in both retailing and wireless service technologies in this marketplace, and (iii) the expected synergies our management believes the venture will generate, which include benefits from joint purchasing, sourcing and merchandising. In addition, Best Buy Europe plans to introduce new product and service offerings in its retail stores and, beginning in fiscal 2011, launch large-format Best Buy-branded stores and Web sites in the European market.
We have consolidated Best Buy Europe in our financial results as part of our International segment from the date of acquisition. We consolidate the financial results of Best Buy Europe on a two-month lag to align with CPWs quarterly reporting periods.
We accounted for the acquisition pursuant to SFAS No. 141, using the purchase method. Accordingly, we recorded the net assets acquired at their estimated fair values and allocated the purchase price on a preliminary basis using information then available. The allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities will be finalized no later than the second quarter of fiscal 2010, as we obtain more information regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

1 We acquired a 50% interest in the net assets of Best Buy Europe and are consolidating the financial results of Best Buy Europe as part of our International segment from the date of acquisition. We recorded the fair value adjustments only in respect of the 50% of net assets acquired, with the remaining 50% of the net assets of Best Buy Europe being consolidated and recorded at their historical cost basis. This also resulted in an initial $644 noncontrolling interest being reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in respect of the 50% owned by CPW.
The valuation of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on managements estimates, then available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. The allocation was generally based on the fair value of these assets using income and market approaches. The amortizable intangible assets are being amortized using a straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives. The following table summarizes the identified intangible asset categories and their respective weighted average amortization periods:

We recorded an estimate for costs to terminate certain activities associated with Best Buy Europe operations in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. A restructuring accrual of $20 has been recorded and reflects the accrued restructuring costs incurred at the date of acquisition, primarily for store closure costs and agreement termination fees, which we expect to be utilized primarily in fiscal 2010. The restructuring accrual was not utilized in fiscal 2009 or the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
Our interest in Best Buy Europe is separate from our investment in the common stock of CPW, as discussed in Note 3, Investments.

Money Market Fund
We have $9 par value invested in one money market fund, The Reserve International Liquidity Fund, Ltd. (RILF). On September 15, 2008, we issued a redemption request for the entire $25 then outstanding and received $16 in January 2009. At May 30, 2009, the RILF has not yet honored our redemption request in full and, accordingly, we have presented the $8 fair value of the investment ($9 par value net of a $1 realized loss on investment) within short-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

1 The par value of our auction-rate securities was $312, $329 and $380 at May 30, 2009, February 28, 2009, and May 31, 2008, respectively.
In accordance with our investment policy, we place our investments in debt securities with issuers who have high-quality credit and limit the amount of investment exposure to any one issuer. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, maintain a desired level of liquidity to meet working capital needs and minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
Short-term and long-term investments are comprised of auction-rate securities (ARS) and commercial paper. We classify investments in ARS and other investments in debt securities as available-for-sale and carry them at fair value. ARS were intended to behave like short-term debt instruments because their interest rates reset periodically through an auction process, most commonly at intervals of 7, 28 and 35 days. The auction process has historically provided a
13
means by which we may rollover the investment or sell these securities at par in order to provide us with liquidity as needed.
Our ARS portfolio consisted of the following at May 30, 2009, February 28, 2009, and May 31, 2008:

At May 30, 2009, our ARS portfolio was 74% AAA/Aaa-rated, 8% AA/Aa-rated and 18% A/A-rated.
In mid-February 2008, auctions began to fail due to insufficient buyers, as the amount of securities submitted for sale in auctions exceeded the aggregate amount of the bids. For each failed auction, the interest rate on the security moves to a maximum rate specified for each security, and generally resets at a level higher than specified short-term interest rate benchmarks. We sold $17 in ARS at par during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. However, at May 30, 2009, our entire remaining ARS portfolio, consisting of 52 investments in ARS, was subject to failed auctions. Subsequent to May 30, 2009, and through July 7, 2009, we sold $3 (par value) of our ARS. To date, we have collected all interest due on our ARS and expect to continue to do so in the future.
As a result of the persistent failed auctions, and the uncertainty of when these investments could be liquidated at par, we have classified all of our investments in ARS as non-current assets within equity and other investments in our consolidated balance sheet at May 30, 2009. The investment principal associated with failed auctions will not be accessible until successful auctions occur, a buyer is found outside of the auction process, the issuers establish a different form of financing to replace these securities, or final payments come due according to the contractual maturities of the debt issues, which range from eight to 40 years. We believe that issuers and financial markets are exploring alternatives that may improve liquidity, although it is not yet clear when or if such efforts will be successful. We intend to hold our ARS until we can recover the full principal amount through one of the means described above, and have the ability to do so based on our other sources of liquidity.
Of our ARS portfolio, $89 was marketed and sold by UBS AG and its affiliates (collectively, UBS). In October 2008, we accepted a settlement with UBS pursuant to which UBS issued to us Series C-2 Auction Rate Securities Rights (ARS Rights). The ARS Rights provide us the right to receive the par value of our UBS-brokered ARS plus accrued but unpaid interest at any time between June 30, 2010, and July 2, 2012.
We evaluated our entire ARS portfolio of $312 (par value) for impairment at May 30, 2009, based primarily on the methodology described in Note 4, Fair Value Measurements. As a result of this review, we determined that the fair value of our ARS portfolio at May 30, 2009, was $298. Accordingly, we recognized a $14 pre-tax unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income. This unrealized loss reflects a temporary impairment on all of our investments in ARS, except for our investments in ARS with UBS, for which we have determined that fair value approximates par value. The estimated fair value of our ARS portfolio could change significantly based on future market conditions. We will continue to assess the fair value of our ARS portfolio for substantive changes in relevant market conditions, changes in our financial condition or other changes that may alter our estimates described above. We may be required to record an additional unrealized holding loss or an impairment charge to earnings if we determine that our ARS portfolio has incurred a further decline in fair value that is temporary or other-than-temporary, respectively.
We had $(9), $(10) and $0 in unrealized (loss) gain, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at May 30, 2009, February 28, 2009, and May 31, 2008, respectively, related to our investments in debt securities.
Marketable Equity Securities
We invest in marketable equity securities and classify them as available-for-sale. Investments in marketable equity securities are classified as non-current assets within equity and other investments in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices.

We review all investments for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly or as indicators of impairment exist. Indicators of impairment include the duration and severity of the decline in fair value as well as the intent and ability to hold the investment to allow for a recovery in the market value of the investment. In addition, we consider qualitative factors that include, but are not limited to: (i) the financial condition and business plans of the investee including its future earnings potential, (ii) the investees credit rating, and (iii) the current and expected market and industry conditions in which the investee operates. If a decline in the fair value of an investment is deemed by management to be other-than-temporary, we write down the cost basis of the investment to fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net earnings. Such a determination is dependent on the facts and circumstances relating to each investment.
We purchased shares of CPWs common stock in fiscal 2008 for $183. The decrease in value of our investment in CPW common stock since May 31, 2008, is due primarily to a $111 other-than-temporary impairment charge we recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Subsequent to February 28, 2009, the market price of CPW common stock increased and, accordingly, we recorded a $23 pre-tax unrealized gain in accumulated other comprehensive income related to this investment.
All unrealized holding gains or losses related to our investments in marketable equity securities are reflected net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity. Net unrealized gain (loss), net of tax, included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $20, $(4) and $(58) at May 30, 2009, February 28, 2009, and May 31, 2008, respectively.
Other Investments
The aggregate carrying values of investments accounted for using either the cost method or the equity method, at May 30, 2009, February 28, 2009, and May 31, 2008, were $44, $43 and $18, respectively.
4. Fair Value Measurements
We adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on March 2, 2008. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at May 30, 2009, February 28, 2009, and May 31, 2008, according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair values. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009, for a description of the valuation techniques applied.

Our investments in auction-rate securities were classified as Level 3 as quoted prices were unavailable due to events described in Note 3, Investments. Due to limited market information, we utilized a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to derive an estimate of fair value at May 30, 2009. The assumptions used in preparing the DCF model included estimates with respect to the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments, forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks, the probability of full repayment of the principal considering the credit quality and guarantees in place, and the rate of return required by investors to own such securities given the current liquidity risk associated with auction-rate securities.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Disclosures for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, but are recognized and disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, were required prospectively beginning March 1, 2009. During the three months ended May 30, 2009, we had no significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition.

6. Restructuring Charges
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we implemented a restructuring plan for our domestic and international businesses to support our fiscal 2010 strategy and long-term growth plans. We believe these changes will provide an operating structure that will support a more effective and efficient use of our resources and provide a platform from which key strategic initiatives can progress despite changing economic conditions. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded charges of $78, related primarily to voluntary and involuntary separation plans at our corporate headquarters.
In April 2009, we notified our U.S. Best Buy store employees of our intention to update our store operating model, which included eliminating certain positions. In addition, we incurred restructuring charges related to employee termination benefits and business reorganization costs at Best Buy Europe within our International segment. As a result of our restructuring efforts, we recorded charges of $52 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
18
We expect to be substantially complete with our announced restructuring activities in fiscal 2010. We will continue to evaluate our operating structure and cannot project whether any further restructuring charges will be necessary.
All charges related to our restructuring plan were presented as restructuring charges in our consolidated statements of earnings. The composition of our restructuring charges incurred in the three months ended May 30, 2009, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through May 30, 2009, for both the Domestic and International segments, were as follows:

7. Derivative Instruments
We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain market-based risks through the use of derivative instruments. Under this strategy, foreign currency exchange contracts are utilized to hedge certain forecasted inventory purchases, revenue streams and net investments in certain foreign operations. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows as well as net asset values associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
We record all derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value and evaluate hedge effectiveness prospectively and retrospectively. We formally document all hedging relationships at inception for all derivative hedges and the underlying hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. Our strategy employs both cash flow and net investment hedges. In addition, we have derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments. We have no derivatives that have credit-risk-related contingent features, and we mitigate our credit risk by engaging with major financial institutions as our counterparties.
Cash Flow Hedges
We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain forecasted inventory purchases and revenue streams denominated in non-functional currencies. The contracts have terms of up to three years. We report the effective portion of the gain or loss on a cash flow hedge as a component of other comprehensive income and it is subsequently reclassified into net earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects net earnings or the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring. We classify the cash flows from derivatives treated as hedges in our consolidated statement of cash flows in the same category as the item being hedged. We report the ineffective portion, if any, of the gain or loss in net earnings.
Net Investment Hedges
We also enter into foreign currency exchange swap contracts to hedge against the effect of euro and swiss franc exchange rate fluctuations on net investments of certain foreign operations. For a net investment hedge, we recognize changes in the fair value of the derivative as a component of foreign currency translation within other comprehensive
19
income to offset a portion of the change in the translated value of the net investment being hedged, until the investment is sold or liquidated. We limit recognition in net earnings of amounts previously recorded in cumulative translation of other comprehensive income to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the hedged foreign operation. We report the ineffective portion, if any, of the gain or loss in net earnings.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments include forward currency exchange contracts used to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to recognized receivable and payable balances denominated in non-functional currencies. The contracts have terms of up to three months. These derivative instruments are not designated in hedging relationships; therefore, we record gains and losses on these contracts directly in net earnings. There were no dedesignated derivative instruments formerly designated in cash flow hedging relationships at May 30, 2009.

8. Earnings per Share
Our basic earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options, nonvested share awards and shares issuable under our employee stock purchase plan, as well as common shares that would have resulted from the assumed conversion of our convertible debentures. Since the potentially dilutive shares related to the convertible debentures are included in the calculation, the related interest expense, net of tax, is added back to net earnings, as the interest would not have been paid if the convertible debentures had been converted to common stock. Nonvested market-based awards and nonvested performance-based awards are included in the average diluted shares outstanding each period if established market or performance criteria have been met at the end of the respective
21
periods.

These amounts were excluded as the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock for the periods presented and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive (i.e., including such options would result in higher earnings per share).
9. Supplemental Equity and Comprehensive Income Information
