Discontinued Operations

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company has either sold or discontinued certain operations that are accounted for as "Discontinued Operations" under applicable accounting guidance. Discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 26, 2022		March 27, 2021
Workers' compensation costs from former textile operations	$	(1)	$	(30)
Environmental remediation costs from former textile operations	—		(31)
Commercial business operations	(13)		(1,710)
Loss from discontinued operations, before taxes	$	(14)	$	(1,771)
Income tax expense	—		—
(Loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(14)	$	(1,771)

Workers' compensation costs from former textile operations

Undiscounted reserves are maintained for the self-insured workers' compensation obligations related to the Company's former textile operations. These reserves are administered by a third-party workers' compensation service provider under the supervision of Company personnel. Such reserves are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Pre-tax cost incurred for workers' compensation as a component of discontinued operations primarily represents a change in estimate for each period from unanticipated medical costs associated with the Company's obligations.

Environmental remediation costs from former textile operations

Reserves for environmental remediation obligations are established on an undiscounted basis. The Company has an accrual for environmental remediation obligations related to discontinued operations of $1,817 as of March 26, 2022 and $1,913 as of December 25, 2021. The liability established represents the Company's best estimate of possible loss and is the reasonable amount to which there is any meaningful degree of certainty given the periods of estimated remediation and the dollars applicable to such remediation for those periods. The actual timeline to remediate, and thus, the ultimate cost to complete such remediation through these remediation efforts, may differ significantly from the Company's estimates. Pre-tax cost for environmental remediation obligations classified as discontinued operations were primarily a result of specific events requiring action and additional expense in each period.

Commercial business operations

In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 13, 2021, the Company sold assets that include certain inventory, certain items of machinery and equipment used exclusively in the Commercial Business, and related intellectual property for a purchase price of $20,500. The Purchaser also assumed the liability to fulfill the orders represented by advance customer deposit liabilities of $3,127. As a result of the transaction the Company recognized a gain of $2.7 million.

The Company retained the Commercial Business’ cash deposits, all accounts receivable, and certain inventory and equipment. Additionally, the Company agreed not to compete with the specified commercial business and the Atlas|Masland markets for a period of 5 years following September 13, 2021. The agreement allows for the Company to sell the commercial inventory retained by the company after the divestiture.

At closing, $2,100 of the proceeds were withheld and deposited in escrow to cover any claims arising with respect to the Commercial business for which the Company may be liable. The $2,100 was agreed to be released to the Company (net of claims paid, if any) in two installments with 50% of the escrow paid in 90 days from closing and the remaining amount paid 18 months from the closing date. The Company has received payment of the first installment and the remaining unpaid portion of $1,025 is recognized within non-current assets. As of March 26, 2022, the Company has not recognized amounts for potential indemnification settlements as those amounts cannot be reasonably estimated.

In order to release liens on certain fixed assets included in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company placed $2,100 in cash collateral in an account with the lender (Greater Nevada Credit Union). The remaining proceeds were applied to the Company's debt with its senior credit facility (Fifth Third Bank).
