Note 5 – Churchill Property

During the three-months ended July 1, 2007, the operations of Churchill Weavers, Inc. (“Churchill”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ceased and all employees were terminated.  The Company has since that time been actively marketing Churchill’s land and building for sale and had, through April 1, 2012, recorded the Churchill property at fair value, less cost to sell, had classified the property as assets held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and had classified the costs to maintain the property as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company also recorded impairment charges associated with the Churchill property during fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011, as the Company made successive determinations that the fair value of the property had fallen below its carrying value.  Although the Company continues to actively market the property for sale and the property remains dormant, accounting guidelines have required the Company, effective as of April 2, 2012, to reclassify the property as held and used in its consolidated balance sheet, to resume periodic depreciation of the carrying value of the property of $275,000 (less an allocation of $23,000 to land) on a straight-line basis over 21 years, and to classify the costs to maintain the property within continuing operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and October 2, 2011.
