Note 14—Casualty Loss Related to Flood

The Company incurred damage at its Sidney, New York manufacturing facility as a result of severe and sudden flooding in New York State in early September 2011. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $21,500 ($13,500 after taxes), for property-related damage, as well as cleanup and repair efforts incurred through December 31, 2011, net of insurance recoveries. This charge includes the Company’s loss for damaged inventory and machinery and equipment.  The Sidney facility had limited manufacturing and sales activity primarily during the third quarter of 2011, but the plant was substantially back to full production by the end of the fourth quarter of 2011.
