The Company has classified its non-core food blending and packaging business as discontinued operations. In connection with the exit of that business, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the third quarter of approximately $2.5 million. Information presented for both current and prior year periods in the financial statements has been modified to reflect the discontinued operations.
