In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $167,000 related to a write-down of goodwill associated with the Children's paint manufacturing operation. The impairment occurred primarily due to the unfavorable results of a change in sales focus which was implemented late in fiscal 1997, as well as the business' inability to sustain long-term customers. However, this was partially offset by a significant income tax benefit recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998.
