RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

4. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with L&R Distributors, Inc. (“L&R Distributors”), a leading national distributor of non-food products and general merchandise, to divest the Company’s conventional non-foods and general merchandise lines of business. The conventional non-foods and general merchandise lines of business, which the Company acquired as part of its fiscal 2008 acquisition of Distribution Holdings, Inc., included cosmetics, seasonal products, conventional health and beauty products and hard goods. The divestiture has allowed the Company to concentrate on its core business of the distribution of natural, organic, and specialty foods and products. In connection with the divestiture, the Company ceased operations at its Harrison, Arkansas distribution center during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and transferred all organic and natural specialty food product inventory from that distribution center into the Company’s other distribution centers across the United States.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge on long-lived assets including land, building and equipment of $5.8 million related to the divestiture. In addition, the Company incurred $0.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 for other non-recurring charges to transition the specialty food line of business into the Company’s other distribution centers. Upon the closure of the Harrison, Arkansas distribution center during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the carrying value of $2.6 million in long-term property and equipment was reclassified to assets held for sale. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recognized $5.3 million in severance and other expenses related to the completion of the divestiture.
