Discontinued Operations
NOTE 2 Discontinued Operations

During September 2014, the Corporation made a strategic decision to exit the recreational vehicle industry in order to focus on its core housing business.

 

As a result, on October 7, 2014 (“Closing Date”), the Corporation completed the sale of certain assets associated with its recreational vehicle segment (the “Transaction”) to Evergreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC (“ERV”). The Transaction was completed pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between the Corporation and ERV on the Closing Date, as well as the terms of a Real Property Purchase Agreement entered into on that same date between the Corporation and an affiliate of ERV, Skyline RE Holding LLC (which, collectively with ERV, is referred to herein as “Evergreen”). The assets of the recreational vehicle segment disposed of in the Transaction include: A recreational vehicle manufacturing facility consisting of approximately 135,000 square feet situated on 18.2 acres located in Bristol, Indiana;

 

  •   Intellectual properties such as trademarks, licenses, and product designs associated with the recreational vehicle segment;

 

  •   Furniture, machinery, software, and equipment;

 

  •   Raw material and work-in-process inventories;

 

  •   Product designs, plans, and specifications; and

 

  •   Customer purchase orders and contracts, customer lists, and supplier lists.

The amount and nature of the consideration received by the Corporation for the assets sold include:

 

  •   A cash payment of $175,000;

 

  •   A separate cash payment of approximately $806,000, less prorated property taxes of approximately $73,000 and selling expenses of approximately $2,000, for the Bristol, Indiana manufacturing facility; and

 

  •   For six months following the Closing Date, Evergreen will pay the Corporation 50 percent of the Corporation’s cost for raw materials inventory purchased by the Corporation prior to the Closing Date within 10 days of Evergreen’s use of the raw material. After six months following the Closing Date, the Corporation will have the right to remove any remaining materials inventory from Evergreen’s possession.

In addition, under the Asset Purchase Agreement Evergreen will not assume or agree to pay, perform, or discharge any of the Corporation’s liabilities or obligations, which will remain the liabilities and obligations of the Corporation.

The Bristol facility, and assets other than raw material and finished goods inventories, was sold at approximately net book value. Evergreen has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the raw material inventory at 50 percent of the Corporation’s cost of approximately $1,600,000. There can be no assurances as to how much of the raw material inventory Evergreen will purchase.

 

Consequently, the Corporation incurred an approximate $901,000 charge in the second quarter reflecting the reduction in value of the raw material inventory plus raw material inventory that will not be used by Evergreen. Through February 28, 2015, Evergreen has paid the Corporation approximately $596,000 for raw material inventory. In future periods, there may be additional charges that could be material related to the discontinued operations of the recreational vehicle segment disposed of in the Transaction.

The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations:

Loss on disposal of discontinued operations consisted of a $901,000 charge associated with the reduction in value of raw material inventory, less a gain of approximately $670,000 resulting from the sale of two idle recreational vehicle manufacturing facilities in Elkhart, Indiana to Forest River Manufacturing, LLC.

The Corporation’s park model business, which was formerly reported in the recreational vehicle segment, was not disposed as part of the transaction with Evergreen and is now reported in the housing segment because net sales do not warrant separate segment reporting.

 

The following is a summary of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations at February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2014:

In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Corporation is responsible for the payment of product warranty claims associated with recreational vehicles sold by the Corporation. Consequently, this obligation is not included in the liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2014.
