Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Fiscal 2022: None.

Fiscal 2021:  During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we identified an impairment indicator related to the oil & gas equipment operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related market softness.   As a result, we tested the long-lived assets consisting of fixed assets and customer list intangible assets with net book values of $7,375,000 and

$2,374,000, respectively, for impairment.  The fair value of the fixed assets was determined to be $5,934,000 (using observable Level 2 inputs) resulting in an impairment charge of $1,441,000.  Additionally, the customer list intangible assets were deemed to be fully impaired (using unobservable Level 3 inputs) and written off.  

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, management determined indicators of impairment were present with regard to the cryogenics business primarily operated out of Theodore, Alabama with European distribution in Austria.  As a result, property, plant and equipment with a carrying value of $13,526,000 were written down to their estimated fair value of $9,193,000 (determined using Level 2 inputs), resulting in an impairment charge of $4,333,000.  Additionally, the customer list intangible assets with a carrying value of $3,662,000 were deemed to be fully impaired and written off.  The fair value of the customer list intangible assets was determined using unobservable Level 3 inputs.  

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company decided to discontinue its operation of the manufacturing line for alternative fuel cylinders at the Jefferson, Ohio facility.  As a result, long-lived assets with a carrying value of $1,823,000 were written down to their estimated fair market value of $400,000 (determined using Level 2 inputs), resulting in an impairment charge of $1,423,000.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recognized a $506,000 impairment charge related to the Superior Tools business that was acquired as part of Magna Industries, Inc. in fiscal 2019 and subsequently sold.
