DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 4, 2012, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its railway securement business, SSD, for $8,579, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $3,508.  As a result of the sale, the Company divested $2,588 in goodwill attributed to the Rail Products segment in connection with the sale of its railway securement business. The goodwill balance was not deductible for income tax purposes. Intangible assets with net carrying value of $170 were also included with this sale.

On August 30, 2012, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its precise structural products business (Precise), for $2,643.

The operations of these divisions qualify as a “component of an entity” under FASB ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations” and thus, the operations have been reclassified as discontinued and prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.  Future expenses of discontinued operations are not expected to be material.

Net sales and income, including the prior year pre-tax gain of $3,508, from discontinued operations were as follows:

		Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
		June 30,				June 30,

The income tax rates for discontinued operations in the prior year were significantly impacted by $2,588 of goodwill allocated to discontinued operations which was not deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company maintained current assets from discontinued operations of $195 and $464 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Current liabilities related to discontinued operations were $37 and $106 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
