Item 2.05
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
 
On April 16, 2014, we issued a news release committing to a restructuring of our casegoods business to transition to an all-import model for our wood furniture.  As a result of the restructuring we intend to:

· discontinue casegoods production at our Hudson, North Carolina facility,

· exit the hospitality business,

· market for sale our youth furniture business, Lea Industries, and

· consolidate operations from two North Wilkesboro, North Carolina facilities at the Hudson facility.

As a result of the restructuring, we will incur costs that we estimate will total between $2.5 million and $2.9 million, including approximately $1.2 to $1.4 million for one-time employee termination benefits and approximately $1.3 to $1.5 million of costs to consolidate facilities.  We estimate that all of these costs will result in future cash expenditures.

In addition to these costs, we expect to incur impairment charges as described in Item 2.06.

Item 2.06
Material Impairments
 
In connection with committing to the restructuring described in Item 2.05 of this report, we concluded that generally accepted accounting principles will require charges for impairment of some of our long-lived assets and inventory totaling between $9.5 million and $11.5 million, none of which we estimate will result in future cash expenditures.

Item 7.01
