– RESTRUCTURING COSTS
 
On
October 29, 2018,
the Company announced plans to close its lighting facility in New Windsor, New York. The closure is part of ongoing actions to align the Company’s supply chain to more cost effectively serve the changing requirements of the lighting market. The Company will move production to its other existing facilities. The closure will allow the Company to improve utilization of existing manufacturing capacity, and will generate annual savings of approximately
$4.0
million. The Company will record an estimated range of restructuring costs of
$0.8
million to
$1.5
million mostly over the next
two
quarters and up until the time the facility is ultimately sold.  The transfer of production is expected to be completed by
June 30, 2019.
As of
December 31, 2018,
the Company has incurred restructuring costs of
$401,000
related to the closure of the New Windsor facility. The Company also incurred
$919,000
of expense to write-down inventory which is
not
included in the tables below.
 
In the
first
quarter of fiscal
2019,
management approved the closure of its
12,000
square foot leased facility in Hawthorne, California. The facility was used as a warehouse and for light assembly of light fixtures. The Company has moved the light assembly to its Blue Ash, Ohio facility. The restructuring charges consist primarily of transportation costs to move inventory to Blue Ash, the impairment of equipment, costs to restore the leased facility, and severance benefits. As of
December 31, 2018,
the Company has incurred restructuring costs of
$155,000
related to the closure of the Hawthorne facility. The Company also incurred
$148,000
of expense to write-down inventory which is a re-valuation of the previous estimate and which is
not
included in the tables below.
