All Comments by billddrummer »How Can Acting Bankrupt Help Circuit City Avoid Bankruptcy? [View article]
CC owns only 5 of the 714 stores in the US. All the rest are leased, and the company is on the hook for lease termination costs on about 80 vacant buildings already.
So unlocking shareholder value by selling store sites won't work.
The company does own a distribution center in Canada that's home for the InterTAN distribution network and Canadian HQ.
CC also owns some of the land and half the building at HQ in Richmond.
But it's not enough unrealized real estate value to go through the trouble of selling it. Plus, commercial real estate values are down all over the country (if you hadn't already heard).
Not a lot of hidden value on the balance sheet.
