Damage From Fire In Business Unit [Abstract]

Note 14 – Garysburg, North Carolina Facility

On October 7, 2019 we experienced a fire at our peanut processing facility located in Garysburg, North Carolina. No personnel were injured, and there was no damage to our peanut shelling and inventory storage areas. The fire occurred in our roasting room where all of the roasting equipment was destroyed. The fire also damaged some equipment in our packaging room and a portion of the roof. We have contracted with a third party to roast and salt our inshell peanuts to meet our current production requirements. We do not expect any negative impact on our customer service levels or a material adverse impact on our operating or financial results for the 2020 fiscal year.

After evaluating our options with regard to our peanut production operations, the Company is considering strategic alternatives for this facility and currently plans to permanently cease all operations at the Garysburg facility once we have finished shelling the current crop of peanuts at this facility, which is estimated to take approximately sixteen months. We have ceased roasting operations in the current second quarter, which resulted in a partial reduction in the workforce at this facility, and recognized an immaterial amount of separation costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

We have adequate property damage and business interruption insurance, subject to applicable deductibles. To date, approximately $

1,500

clean-up

costs and damage to capital assets has been incurred. Insurance claims have been filed under our property damage and business interruption policies, and an advance payment of $

1,500

was received from the insurance carrier in our current second quarter. Insurance proceeds received for damage to capital equipment were recorded as investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
