Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | ( 3 ) Exit and Disposal Activities On November 22, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved moving forward with the exploration of a range of strategic options for the Broadway Plant, including the divestiture of the plant, the transitional reduction in its operations to accommodate lower volumes, the relocation of production to other Company facilities , as needed, and/or the closure of the plant. Accordingly, management explored various exit or disposal options for the Broadway Plant with the input of our salaried and unionized employees, our customers and others within the industry. On February 21, 2017, with the benefit of management’s analysis, the Board of Directors approved a modified exit or disposal plan with respect to the Broadway Plant, which was substantially complete as of the end of 2017. The Company has relocated certain assets from the Broadway Plant to other manufacturing facilities, as needed, to serve its existing and target customer base and identified underutilized or non-core assets for disposal. Management expects to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of any underutilized or non-core assets to fund costs incurred in the transfer of any additional equipment from the Broadway Plant. Management will evaluate options for the real estate and any remaining assets in the Broadway Plant in 2018. As a result of these initiatives, the Company recorded charges of $645,000, or $0.03 per diluted share in 2016 and $2,360,000, or $0.12 per share in 2017, related to the transition of production from the Broadway Plant, which is included in severance, relocation and other costs in the consolidated statement of operations. A summary of the pre-tax charges is as follows (in thousands):

Severance and benefit-related costs tied to workforce reductions were recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 420 , Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and ASC 712, Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits . Under ASC 420, one -time termination benefits that are conditioned on employment through a certain transition period are recognized ratably between the date employees are communicated the details of the one -time termination benefit and their final date of service. Accordingly, the Company recorded $936,000 and $427,000 in 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Asset . The Company’s strategic decision to transition production from the Broadway Plant led to an $188,000 non-cash impairment charge in 2016. The charge was based on the excess of carrying value of certain assets not expected to be redeployed over their respective fair value or for assets held for sale, the carrying value exceeded the estimate of fair value less costs to sell. Fair values for these assets were determined based on discounted cash flow analyses. During 2017, we did not recognize any additional non-cash impairment charges relative to our continued exit and disposal activities for our Broadway Plant. For assets to be redeployed to other Company locations, the Company incurred equipment relocation costs of $1, 424,000 in 2017 and expects to incur an additional $112,000 in 2018. The Company had originally estimated that total relocation costs would be $2,531,000; however, the Company determined that it would not be desirable to relocate certain equipment, and these assets were later moved to held-for-sale. A summary of costs and related reserves for the transition of production from the Broadway Plant at December 31, 2017 is as follows (in thousands):
