Item 2.05   Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On January 18, 2008, Associated Materials, LLC (“the Company”) committed to a plan to discontinue use of the warehouse facility adjacent to its Ennis, Texas vinyl manufacturing facility. In addition, the Company committed to relocating certain vinyl siding production from Ennis, Texas to its vinyl manufacturing facilities in West Salem, Ohio and Burlington, Ontario. The warehouse that is adjacent to the Ennis, Texas manufacturing facility was built during 2005 and is currently leased by the Company. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company will begin using a third party distribution center located in Ashtabula, Ohio to distribute its vinyl siding and certain other products to the majority of its United States supply centers and to certain independent distributors. The Company expects the transition of distribution operations to the third party distribution center and the relocation of certain vinyl siding production will be completed by the end of its fiscal 2008 second quarter.
The Company expects to incur cash lease costs, net of anticipated sublease income associated with the discontinued use of the warehouse adjacent to the Ennis, Texas vinyl manufacturing facility of approximately $4.0 million and cash moving costs associated with relocating certain production equipment of approximately $0.7 million. In addition, the Company anticipates incurring non-cash asset impairment costs related to inventory and fixed assets, however at this time, the Company is unable to estimate the extent of these costs. The Company expects to complete the estimate of these costs by the end its fiscal 2008 first quarter.
