Due to reduced demand for our reels produced by the Universal Harvester by Art’s Way subsidiary, we have been able to absorb the production of reels into our Armstrong, Iowa facility. We continue to hold our powder coat system previously used in our Ames, Iowa location as available for sale. During fiscal
2016,
we recognized an impairment of
$44,858
related to this asset based on recent offers and comparable sales information.
 
We have discontinued all of our production in our West Union facility, and are now leasing the facility to a
third
party. Therefore, we have reclassified that facility to net assets held for lease of
$1,131,101
as of
May 31, 2017.
