In March 2009, the Company committed to a plan to sell its Israel Consumer Products business. This business primarily sold consumer products to the Israeli market, including cosmetics, toiletries and detergents, and was previously reported as part of the Company s Other category. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Israel Consumer Products business had met the criteria set forth in ASC 360-10 to be accounted for as discontinued operations. On February 26, 2010, the Company completed the sale of its Israel Consumer Products business to Emilia Group, a subsidiary of O. Feller Holdings Ltd., for approximately $47,000, of which approximately $11,000, subject to foreign currency fluctuations between the Israeli shekel and the U.S. dollar, is contingent upon satisfaction of contingency factors specified in the agreement. After the finalization of post-closing working capital adjustments in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of $1,407. The Israel Consumer Products business is considered a discontinued operation, and as a result, all consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been adjusted accordingly to reflect this financial statement presentation.
