(25) Discontinued Operations

On November 11, 2008, SBI’s board of directors approved the shutdown of its line of growing products, which included the manufacturing and marketing of fertilizers, enriched soils, mulch and grass seed. The decision to shut down the growing products line was made only after SBI was unable to successfully sell this business, in whole or in part. The shutdown of its line of growing products was completed during the second quarter of Fiscal 2009.
