COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES. On August 31, 2004, the Company's board of directors approved a contract dated August 24, 2004 for the sale of its Furman plant for expected net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close within 60 days of the date of the agreement. The Company announced the closing of the Furman plant in fiscal 2002. Consummation of the sale under this contract will complete the disposal of the plant and its related assets. Since the sale price is approximately $847,000 less than the carrying amount of the asset on the Company's books, the Company determined on August 31, 2004 to take an impairment charge at July 3, 2004 with respect to the Furman plant of approximately $847,000, which will result in a non-cash charge to earnings of that amount for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 with respect to the Furman plant. Other than customary closing costs which the Company does not consider material, the Company does not expect there to be any further cash expenditures related to the disposal of this asset.
