During the quarter ended
June 30, 2016,
Delphax was informed by its largest customer that the customer had decided to accelerate its plans for removing Delphax legacy printing systems from production and that Delphax should, as a consequence, expect the future volume of legacy product orders from the customer to decline markedly from prior forecasts. Furthermore, the future timeframe over which orders could be expected from this customer was being sharply curtailed. In addition to this specific customer communication, Delphax also experienced a broad-based decline in legacy product customer demand during the quarter. Sales of Delphax
’s new élan printer system also did
not
materialize to expectations in the quarter.
 
The adverse business developments during the quarter ended
June 30, 2016
and the significantly deteriorated outlook for future orders of legacy and élan product caused the Company to reevaluate the recoverability of Delphax
’s assets, both tangible and intangible. Based on this reevaluation, which involved material estimation and subjectivity (including with respect to the recovery on assets in an operating liquidation), the Company concluded that a significant increase to inventory reserves was necessary. In addition, the Company concluded that Delphax related intangible assets, both amortizable assets and goodwill, should be fully impaired. This impairment totaled approximately
$1,385,000
during the quarter ended
June 30, 2016.
The Company also recorded a partial impairment of Delphax related long-lived tangible assets, totaling approximately
$249,000
during the quarter ended
June 30, 2016.
These impairment losses are reflected on the consolidated statements of income (loss) within the “depreciation, amortization and impairment” line item. Furthermore, there was an assessment regarding whether, at
June 30, 2016,
future severance actions under existing Delphax employee benefit plans were both probable and estimable. This assessment led to the Company establishing an estimated accrual for future severance actions. The effects of these various adjustments discussed above, which aggregated to approximately
$5,610,000,
are reflected in the operating results of Delphax for the quarter ended
June 30, 2016.
 
In addition, results for the quarter ended
June 30, 2016
included a non-operating charge of approximately
$1,502,000
related to the Company
’s investment in marketable securities of Insignia Systems, Inc. (“Insignia”). While the Company does
not
intend to liquidate its securities holdings in Insignia within
twelve
months, the Company recognized an impairment loss on the investment during the quarter ended
June 30, 2016
due in part to the magnitude of the loss position in the investment, which increased sharply during the quarter, and the fact that the investment had been in a continuous loss position for well over
one
year.
