3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


The Company monitors the expected cash proceeds to be realized from the disposition of discontinued operations’ assets, and adjusts asset values accordingly. The Company continuously evaluates its portfolio of businesses for both impairment and economic viability. The Company did not cease any additional operations or classify any additional operations as “held for sale” during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company determined that the Danbury Facility was no longer “held for sale.” Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Danbury Facility are included in continuing operations for all periods presented.


During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, the Company completed the settlement of the pension plan of Grolier Limited, a Canadian entity in the continuities business. Losses related to the recognition of prior service costs are reflected in the table below. See Note 12, “Employee Benefit Plans,” for further details pertaining to the settlement.
