– RESTRUCTURING COSTS
 
On
September
22,
2016,
the Company announced plans to close its lighting facility in Kansas City, Kansas. The decision was based upon the market shift away from fluorescent and other technologies and the rapid movement to LED lighting which is produced at other LSI facilities. The Company expects to continue to meet the demand for products containing fluorescent light sources as long as these products are commercially viable. All operations at the Kansas City facility ceased prior to
December
31,
2016.
Total restructuring costs related to the closure of the Kansas City facility were
$944,000.
These costs primarily included employee-related costs (primarily severance), the impairment of manufacturing equipment, plant shut down costs
, costs related to the preparation of the facility for sale, legal costs, and other related costs. In addition, there was also an inventory write-down of
$432
,000
recorded in the
first
nine
months of fiscal
2017.
The write-down was related to inventory that was previously realizable until the decision in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2017
to shut down the Kanas City plant due to the planned curtailment of the manufacturing of fluorescent light fixtures. The Company owned the facility in Kansas City and realized a
$1,361,000
gain when the facility was sold.
 
The Company also announced the consolidation of the Beaverton, Oregon facility into other LSI facilities. The light assembly of products in the Beaverton facility was moved to the Company’s Columbus, Ohio facility, and administration and engineering functions were moved to the Company’s Cincinnati, Ohio facility. This consolidation was completed
September
30,
2016.
As a result of this consolidation, restructuring charges of
$363,000
were recorded in the
first
nine
months of fiscal
2017,
with the majority of this representing the costs related to the remaining period of the facility’s lease and severance costs for employees who formerly worked in the Beaverton facility.
 
In
November
2016,
the Company announced the consolidation of the Woonsocket, Rhode Island manufacturing operation into its North Canton, Ohio operation. The manufacturing operations in Woonsocket ceased prior to
December
31,
2016.
The Company owns the facility in Woonsocket and expects to realize a gain when the facility is sold
. The facility is presented on the balance sheet as an asset held for sale. Total restructuring costs related to the consolidation of the Woonsocket facility are expected to be approximately
$464,000.
These costs primarily include employee-related costs (severance), plant shut down costs, costs related to the preparation of the facility for sale, legal costs, and other related costs.

Impairment and accelerated depreciation expense of
$354,000
was recorded in the
first
nine
months of fiscal
2017
related to machinery and equipment at the Kansas City and Beaverton facilities. There was no impairment expense related to the closure of the Woonsocket facility. Of the
$354,000
of impairment and accelerated depreciation expense,
$322,000
was recorded in the Lighting Segment and
$32,000
was recorded in the Technology Segment. The fair value of the equipment evaluated for impairment was determined by comparing the future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the assets. The future cash flows are from the remaining use of the assets as well as the cash flows expected to result from the future sale of the assets.
