We recorded non-compete agreements in connection with our asset purchase agreements with International Textile Group, Inc. (ITG) and Bodet & Horst at their fair values based on valuation techniques. The non-compete agreement associated with ITG was amortized on a straight line basis over the four year life of the agreement and expired at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The non-compete agreement associated with Bodet & Horst is amortized on a straight line basis over the six year life of the agreement and requires quarterly payments of $12,500 over the life of the agreement. As of July 31, 2011, the total remaining non-compete payments were $150,000.

The gross carrying amount of these non-compete agreements was $1.0 million at July 31, 2011 and May 1, 2011, respectively. At July 31, 2011 and May 1, 2011, accumulated amortization for these non-compete agreements was $593,000 and $544,000, respectively.
