Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On April 21, 2005, Pinnacle Foods Group Inc. ("PFGI") announced that, effective May 9, 2005, they will be shutting down a bagel production line at its Mattoon, IL facility that produces the company's Lender's® Bagels. In connection with the shut down of the production line, PFGI will be laying off 28 full-time and 7 part-time employees. Pinnacle acquired the facility, together with other major food brands and production facilities, with its acquisition of Aurora Foods Inc. out of bankruptcy in March 2004.
A portion of the assets that was used in the bagel line will be utilized in other production areas. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", PFGI will incur a non-cash charge of $862,000 for an impairment to the assets being taken out of service, which will be recorded in results for the three months ended March 27, 2005. We expect that any costs associated with the removal of the assets would be offset from the proceeds received from the sale of those assets.
