– 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.
Fiscal
2017
restructuring costs related to the closure of the Kansas City facility were
$944,000.
There have been
no
restructuring costs in fiscal
2018
. 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
$485,000
recorded in 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
$377,000
were recorded in 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. There were
not
restructuring charges in fiscal
2018.
   
 
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 Woonso
cket ceased prior to
December 31, 2016.
The Company owns the facility in Woonsocket and realized a small gain when the facility was sold in
September 2017.
Total restructuring costs related to the consolidation of the Woonsocket facility were
$452,000
in fiscal
2017.
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. There have been
no
restructuring charges in fiscal
2018.
 
Management does
not
expect any significant restructuring charges for fiscal
2018.
All previously announced restructuring projects were completed in fiscal
2017
and all restructuring charges were recorded in fiscal
2017.
