Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On May 20, 2008, MathStar, Inc. (the “Company”) committed to a plan to discontinue its field programmable object array (FPOA) chip development and its board-level systems development segments of its business. The Company decided to do so to preserve the Company’s assets while it considers strategic alternatives. As previously reported on May 21, 2008, the Company has decided to engage an investment banker to explore strategic alternatives.
As a result of these initiatives, the Company expects to incur aggregate pre-tax costs and charges of approximately $4.1 million consisting of the following: approximately $1.1 million in employee severance and benefit costs; approximately $1.4 million in asset write-off and accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment; approximately $1.1 million in accelerated payment of future rent and operating lease payments; and approximately $500,000 in other exit costs. The Company expects to incur these charges primarily in the second and third quarters of the year ended December 31, 2008.
