Asset Write-off Costs

Asset write-off costs are costs related to impairment or disposal of property and equipment as part of the Company's restructuring plan to drive enhanced profitability, focus the business on its strategic assets and redesign the organization to be the appropriate size to compete and thrive. These costs are included in restructuring costs within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, the Company closed escrow on the San Rafael, California property and recognized a $0.4 million impairment loss, which is included in Restructuring costs within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company received net cash proceeds of $2.4 million in connection with the sale.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company recognized a $1.9 million impairment loss related to BreatheWay equipment as a result of a strategic shift in our BreatheWay business model driven by our restructuring plan. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company recognized an additional $1.9 million impairment loss related to BreatheWay equipment as a result of a strategic shift in our BreatheWay business model driven by our restructuring plan.

The Company leases its main office located in Santa Maria, California (the “Santa Maria Office”). During the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company approved a plan to explore opportunities to sub lease its Santa Maria Office. The Santa Maria Office assets, included as lease hold improvements within property and equipment, net, has been designated as held for use within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 29, 2022, as no finalized plan for disposition existed at the balance sheet date.

The Company expects to complete the sublease plan within the next 12 months.

Employee Severance and Benefit Costs

Employee severance and benefit costs are costs incurred as a result of reduction-in-force driven by our restructuring plan and closure of offices and facilities. These costs were driven primarily by the closure of our San Rafael, California office, Santa Clara, California office, and Los Angeles, California office.

Lease Costs

In August 2020, the Company closed its leased Santa Clara, California office and entered into a sublease agreement. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 the Company closed its leased Los Angeles, California office and plans to sublease the office. As noted in the Asset write-off costs section, the Company approved a plan to explore opportunities to sublease its Santa Maria Office and expects to complete the sublease plan within the next 12 months.
