In connection with its acquisition of Power Solutions, the Company acquired a 49% interest in a joint venture in the People's Republic of China ("PRC").  The joint venture purchased raw components and other goods from the Company and sold finished goods to the Company as well as to other third parties.  The Company purchased $1.5 million of inventory from the joint venture during the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company did not purchase any inventory from the joint venture during 2016 or 2017.  At December 31, 2016, the Company owed the joint venture approximately $0.5 million, which is included in accounts payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company divested its 49% interest in the joint venture in exchange for an extinguishment of the accounts payable balance of $0.5 million.  As the interest in the joint venture had a carrying value of zero, a $0.5 million gain was recorded within cost of sales during 2017 related to this divestiture.
