20. Reserve for FreshRealm Note Receivable and Impairment of Investment

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the results of operations of FreshRealm have deteriorated significantly from our expectations from three months prior, with declining sales and continuing losses. FreshRealm will likely require additional capital in order to continue as a going concern. We do not plan to invest or loan any additional capital to FreshRealm. We have performed a valuation analysis of the financial condition and projected operations of FreshRealm under various methods, including liquidation, exit multiple, and perpetual growth approaches, appropriately weighted for the circumstances. In accordance with the foregoing, we have recorded an impairment of 100% of our equity investment of $2.8 million, and we have recorded a reserve for collectability of 100% of our note receivable balance of $34.2 million (which includes accrued interest of $4.1 million), and $0.3 million in trade accounts receivable as of October 31, 2020, which resulted in a loss of $37.3 million, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations under “Loss on reserve for FreshRealm note receivable and impairment of investment”. As of August 1, 2020, we have discontinued the accrual of interest income on the note receivables. In connection with the foregoing, we recorded a $9.5 million discreet income tax benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
