Item 2.06 Material Impairments
On March 9, 2015, management of Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (“ESI”) concluded that ESI is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to incur a non-cash impairment charge in its fiscal fourth quarter of 2015 of approximately $ 4.3 million related to its investment in OmniGuide, Inc. (“OmniGuide”). This represents the entire remaining carrying value of the OmniGuide investment on ESI’s books. This conclusion is based on OmniGuide’s lender exercising its right to convert the outstanding obligations owed to it by OmniGuide into 100% of OmniGuide’s outstanding equity as a result of a default by OmniGuide under the applicable financing agreements. The conversion was a result of OmniGuide’s inability to raise sufficient funding to continue operations or consummate a sale of the company. Following the conversion, it is anticipated that the lender will provide ongoing financing for OmniGuide to continue operations.
This impairment will not result in future cash expenditures. It will, however, have a direct negative impact on ESI’s net results of operations and shareholder’s equity on a GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
