11.HELD FOR SALE AND DISPOSAL OF BUSINESS

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company announced that as a result of a review of its assets, the Company has decided to explore strategic alternatives for its Turkey Hill Dairy business, including a potential sale.

At August 18, 2018, certain assets and liabilities, primarily those related to the Company’s Turkey Hill Dairy business, were classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company expects to complete the sale of these disposal groups within the next year. The business classified as held for sale will not be reported as discontinued operations as the dispositions do not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
