DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

NOTE 9 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

The Company’s discontinued operations consist of all our subsidiaries included in our Industrial Segment which encompasses subsidiaries divested in 2011 and prior and three previously closed locations.

 

The Company incurred losses from discontinued operations of $605,000 (net of tax benefit of $199,000) and $421,000 (net of tax benefit of $139,000) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net losses in 2022 as compared to 2021 was primarily due to costs incurred in connection with management of administrative and regulatory matters for the Company’s remediation projects as discussed below.

 

 

The following table presents the major class of assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. No assets and liabilities were held for sale at each of the periods noted.

Environmental Liabilities

 

The Company has three remediation projects, which are currently in progress relating to our PFD, PFM and PFSG (closed locations) subsidiaries, all within our discontinued operations. The Company divested PFD in 2008; however, the environmental liability of PFD was retained by the Company upon the divestiture of PFD. These remediation projects principally entail the removal/remediation of contaminated soil and, in most cases, the remediation of surrounding ground water. The remediation activities are closely reviewed and monitored by the applicable state regulators.

 

At December 31, 2022, the Company had total accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $861,000, a decrease of $15,000 from the December 31, 2021 balance of $876,000. The decrease represents payments for remediation projects. At December 31, 2022, $112,000 of the total accrued environmental liabilities was recorded as current.

 

The current and long-term accrued environmental liabilities at December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows (in thousands).

 

   Current   Long-term
