Insurance recoveries.
On January 21, 2014, a fire occurred at the Company’s Gallatin, Tennessee PC strand manufacturing facility. The fire damaged a portion of the facility, requiring the temporary curtailment of operations until the necessary repairs were completed. The Company shifted a portion of its production requirements to its PC strand facility located in Sanderson, Florida, which was operating at a reduced utilization level. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company completed the remainder of the repairs and the Gallatin facility was fully operational as of December 27, 2014.
 
The Company maintains general liability, business interruption and replacement cost property insurance coverage on its facilities that it believes is sufficient to cover the losses incurred from the fire. During the three months ended December 27, 2014, the Company recorded a $257,000 receivable for the anticipated insurance proceeds related to the costs that were incurred during the period related to the fire. The insurance proceeds attributable to these additional expenses were recorded in cost of sales ($244,000) and selling, general and administrative expense ($13,000) on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The Company is currently pursuing a final settlement of this claim with its insurance carrier.
