A majority of&#13;the gross unrealized losses at September 28, 2011 were due to one investment. We consider several factors in determining other-than-temporary&#13;impairment losses including the current and long-term business prospects of these issuers, the length of time and relative magnitude&#13;of the price decline and our ability and intent to hold the investment until the price recovers.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Investment gains/losses are recognized when&#13;investments are sold (as determined on a specific identification basis) or as otherwise required by GAAP. The timing of realized&#13;gains and losses from sales can have a material effect on periodic earnings. However, such realized gains or losses usually have&#13;little, if any, impact on total Shareholders&amp;#146; equity because the investments are carried at fair value with any unrealized&#13;gains/losses included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in Shareholders&amp;#146; equity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Realized investment gains/losses were as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: center"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td colspan="7" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;Twelve Weeks Ended&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="font-size: 2pt; text-align: center"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-size: 2pt; font-weight: bold"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td colspan="7" style="font-size: 2pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: center"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-align: right"&gt;December 21,&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: right"&gt;December 22,&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; font-weight: bold; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; font-weight: bold; text-align: right"&gt;2011&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: right"&gt;2010&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="padding-bottom: 1pt; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 56%"&gt;Gross realized gains on sales&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 8%; font-weight: bold"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%; font-weight: bold; text-align: left"&gt;$&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 12%; font-weight: bold; text-align: right"&gt;3,979&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 1%; font-weight: bold; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 8%"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: left"&gt;$&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 12%; text-align: right"&gt;2,884&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: left"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;Gross realized losses on sales&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left"&gt;$&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-align: right"&gt;(384&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left"&gt;)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="text-align: left"&gt;$&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: right"&gt;(6&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: left"&gt;)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:InvestmentHoldingsTextBlock>

There was no change to the carrying&#13;value of goodwill from September 28, 2011.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;We are required to assess goodwill and any&#13;indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.&#13;The analysis of potential impairment of goodwill requires a two-step approach. The first step is the estimation of fair value of&#13;each reporting unit. If step one indicates that impairment potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount&#13;of impairment, if any. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;During the quarter ended September 28, 2011,&#13;we performed our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill related to four reporting units. During the second quarter&#13;of fiscal year 2011, we performed our annual assessment of our recoverability of goodwill related to two reporting units. The valuation&#13;methodology and underlying financial information included in our determination of fair value require significant judgments to be&#13;made by management. We use both market and income approaches to derive fair value. The judgments in these two approaches include,&#13;but are not limited to, comparable market multiples, long-term projections of future financial performance, and the selection of&#13;appropriate discount rates used to determine the present value of future cash flows. Changes in such estimates or the application&#13;of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0;

At December 31, 2010, Biglari Capital earned a&#13;$5,199 incentive reallocation fee; however, $2,689 was eliminated, for that amount represents the Company&amp;#146;s fee as a limited&#13;partner, which was uncharged because the Company owns the general partner. The remaining $2,510 is an incentive fee that was charged&#13;and reallocated from outside limited partners of the Lion Fund. The incentive fee is assessed only once a year, on December 31,&#13;and no predictability of such earnings exists because the Lion Fund annual performance is unpredictable.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:SegmentReportingDisclosureTextBlock>

In addition, the guidance clarifies existing requirements regarding the required level of disaggregation&#13;by class of assets and liabilities and also clarifies disclosures of inputs and valuation techniques. The guidance became effective&#13;beginning in the Company's second quarter of fiscal year 2010, except for the requirement to disclose level 3 activity on a gross&#13;basis, which was effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2012.

Investments held directly by the consolidated affiliated partnerships usually consist of domestic equity securities.&#13;Certain of the consolidated affiliated partnerships hold the Company&amp;#146;s common stock as investments. In our consolidated financial&#13;statements, the Company classifies this common stock as Treasury stock despite the shares being legally outstanding. As of December&#13;21, 2011 and September 28, 2011, the consolidated affiliated partnerships held 205,743 shares of the Company&amp;#146;s common stock&#13;($69,221 at cost). &amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Consolidated net earnings of the Company include&#13;the realized and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the investments held by consolidated affiliated partnerships, other&#13;than realized and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments the consolidated affiliated partnerships hold in the&#13;Company&amp;#146;s equity securities which has been eliminated in consolidation.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In fiscal year 2010, Biglari Holdings invested&#13;a total of $35,697 in the Lion Fund, both in the form of the acquisition of the general partner and as a direct limited partner&#13;investment.&amp;#160;The fair value of these investments in the Lion Fund totaled $46,663 as of the end of the fiscal 2012 first quarter.&#13;No amounts were invested in the year-to-date period in fiscal year 2012 or in fiscal year 2011. These investments in the Lion Fund&#13;do not appear explicitly in the Company&amp;#146;s condensed consolidated Balance Sheet because of the requirement to consolidate&#13;fully the Lion Fund (inclusive of third party interests) in the Company&amp;#146;s financial statements.&amp;#160;Further, the Lion Fund&amp;#146;s&#13;portfolio holds significant interests in Biglari Holdings&amp;#146; common stock, which as described above is classified on the Company&amp;#146;s&#13;condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as a reduction to Shareholders&amp;#146; equity. Biglari Holdings&amp;#146; pro-rata ownership of&#13;its Company common stock through the Lion Fund was 98,776 shares of stock (with a fair value of $36,373) based on Biglari Holdings&amp;#146;&#13;ownership interest in the Lion Fund as of the end of the fiscal 2012 first quarter.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011,&#13;Mustang Capital Partners I, L.P. and Mustang Capital Partners II, L.P. were liquidated and the funds distributed to the partners.&#13;The distribution of $15,660, including $1,421 of noncash distributions, is noted in the Distributions to noncontrolling interests&#13;line in the below reconciliation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011,&#13;Western Mustang Holdings, L.L.C. sold its interests in Mustang Capital Management, L.L.C. and Mustang Capital Advisors, L.P.
