ITEM 2.05.  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.

ITEM 2.06.  MATERIAL IMPAIRMENTS.
