Non-Compete Agreement

In connection with the asset purchase and consulting agreement with Bodet & Horst on May 8, 2013 (see note 3), we restructured our prior non-compete agreement pursuant to our asset purchase and consulting agreement dated August 11, 2008. We agreed with Bodet & Horst to replace the prior non-compete agreement that prevented us from selling certain mattress fabrics and products to a leading manufacturer that will now allow us to make such sales. In addition, the prior consulting and non-compete agreement, under which Bodet & Horst agreed not to sell mattress fabrics in North America, was replaced, expanded, and extended pursuant to the new asset purchase consulting agreement. We recorded this non-compete agreement at its fair value based on a discounted cash flow valuation model. This non-compete agreement is amortized on a straight-line basis over the fifteen year life of the agreement and requires quarterly payments of $12,500 through May 2014. As of January 26, 2014, the total remaining non-compete payments were $25,000.

The gross carrying amount of this non-compete agreement was $2.0 million, $1.1 million, and $1.1 million at January 26, 2014, January 27, 2013, and April 28, 2013, respectively. At January 26, 2014, January 27, 2013, and April 28, 2013, accumulated amortization for the non-compete agreement was $996,000, $890,000 and $940,000, respectively.

Of the $1.0 million non-compete agreement carrying amount at January 26, 2014, $209,000 pertains to the non-compete agreement that was in place as part of the asset purchase agreement dated August 11, 2008, and $838,000 pertains to the non-compete agreement pursuant to the asset purchase agreement dated May 8, 2013 that restructured and expanded the non-compete agreement that was in place effective August 11, 2008.

Amortization expense for the non-compete agreement was $56,000 and $148,000 for the nine month periods ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013, respectively. The remaining amortization expense (which includes the total remaining Bodet & Horst non-compete payments of $25,000) for the next five fiscal years and thereafter follows: FY 2014 - $18,000; FY 2015 - $75,000; FY 2016 - $75,000; FY 2017 - $75,000; FY 2018 - $75,000; and Thereafter - $754,000.

The weighted average amortization period for the non-compete agreement is 14.3 years as of January 26, 2014.

Customer Relationships

In connection with the asset purchase and consulting agreement with Bodet & Horst noted above, we purchased certain customer relationships. We recorded the customer relationships at their fair value based on a multi-period excess earnings valuation model. The gross carrying amount of these customer relationships was $868,000 at January 26, 2014. Accumulated amortization for these customer relationships was $38,000 at January 26, 2014.

The customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over their seventeen year useful life. Amortization expense for the customer relationships was $38,000 for the nine months ending January 26, 2014. The remaining amortization expense for the next five fiscal years and thereafter follows: FY 2014 - $13,000; FY 2015 - $51,000; FY 2016 - $51,000; FY 2017 - $51,000; FY 2018 - $51,000; and Thereafter - $613,000.

The weighted average amortization period for our customer relationships is 16.3 years as of January 26, 2014.

Cash Surrender Value – Life Insurance

We had two life insurance contracts with death benefits to the respective insured totaling $4.4 million at January 26, 2014, and April 28, 2013, respectively. At January 27, 2013, we had three life insurance contracts with death benefits to the respective insured totaling $4.9 million. Our cash surrender value – life insurance balances of $647,000, $700,000, and $625,000 at January 26, 2014, January 27, 2013, and April 28, 2013, respectively, are collectible upon death of the respective insured.
