Plant Acquisition
Plant Acquisition	On August 31, 2018, the Company closed a Member Interest and Capital Share Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Great Lakes Chemical Corporation and Lanxess Holding Company US Inc., as the sellers, and the Company as the buyer. Under the Agreement, the Company acquired a subsidiary of the sellers which includes an antimony plant, equipment and land located in Reynosa, Mexico. The Company is disassembling, salvaging and transporting the antimony plant and equipment for use in its existing operations in both Mexico and the United States. The project involves moving heavy equipment and could take up to a year. In addition, the Company was paid $1,500,000 by the sellers, which was recognized as operating income in the quarter ended September 30, 2018, to assist in the salvage and transport costs of the useable equipment. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as there was no business associated with the acquired assets. As of March 31, 2019, we have substantially completed the demolition and transportation of the salvaged equipment. The real property acquired with the plant was sold for $700,000 in November 2018, for which the Company received $300,000 in 2018 and the remaining balance of $400,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2019.
