Discontinued Operations

In 2007 and 2008, we completed the sale of the majority of our non-core businesses; however, we continue to incur legal fees, settlements and other expenses based on provisions in the purchase agreements.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, total loss from discontinued operations net of income taxes was $0.9 million. This included $0.6 million for anticipated claims related to workers’ compensation and product liability and $0.3 million of legal and environmental charges. (See Note 11, “Income Taxes”, for additional information).

For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, total loss from discontinued operations net of income taxes was $0.7 million. This included $0.3 million for anticipated claims related to workers’ compensation and product liability, $0.2 million for environmental accruals and $0.2 million of operating costs for our Grafton facility. Our Grafton facility was sold in December of 2012.
