Disposal Groups Including Discontinued Operations Disclosure Text Block | 3. Discontinued O peration s Divestiture in Fiscal 2012 Purity Life Natural Health Products On June 5, 2012, the Company completed the sale of Purity Life Natural Health Products (“Purity”), its Canadian natural health products distribution business, for cash consideration of $ 13,443 (Cdn $ 14,000) at closing, plus up to $ 672 (Cdn $ 700) of contingent consideration if Purity achieved certain earnings targets during the one-year period following the closing date. The earnings targets were not met and, therefore, no contingent consideration was recognized. The divestiture of Purity completed the Company's exit from all non-core distribution businesses. Purity was formerly part of the Company's former International Foods Group operating segment. For the year ended December 29, 2012, the company recognized the following gain on sale of Purity in discontinued operations: (1) The divestiture resulted in a pre-tax accounting loss on sale of $750 (before giving effect to the accumulated currency translation adjustment). The Company recognized a recovery of income taxes for the associated loss for Canadian tax purposes. I ncluded in the loss before income taxes from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, are impairment charges of $6,025 and $1,485 related to the write-down of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, respectively, of Purity. Divestiture in Fiscal 2011 Colorado Sun Oil Processing LLC On August 12, 2011, the Company disposed of its interest in the Colorado Sun Oil Processing LLC (“CSOP”) joint venture to Colorado Mills, LLC (“Colorado Mills”) pursuant to the outcome of related bankruptcy proceedings. CSOP operated a vegetable oil refinery adjacent to Colorado Mills' sunflower crush plant and was formerly part of the former Grains and Foods Group operating segment. The operating results of CSOP were reclassified to discontinued operations, which included a pre-tax charge of $5,246 recorded in the year ended December 31, 2011, which was related to a separate arbitration ruling in favor of Colorado Mills in respect of the joint venture agreement. On June 18, 2013, the Company reached an agreement with Colorado Mil ls to settle the arbitration proceeding (see note 19). In connection with the settlement, the Company paid Colorado Mills $5,884, consisting of cash and equipment in use at the CSOP refinery.
