Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On September 7, 2004, in connection with General Motors decision to resource its remanufactured transmission program from Aftermarket Technology Corp.s CRS-Gastonia, North Carolina facility by the end of 2004 and Aftermarket Technology Corp.s ongoing initiatives to improve capacity utilization, Aftermarket Technology Corp. concluded that it expects to close the CRS-Gastonia facility as soon as practicable. Aftermarket Technology Corp. expects to complete the closure of the CRS-Gastonia facility by the end of the year. The closure of the CRS-Gastonia facility is expected to result in approximately $4 million of one-time exit costs ($2.6 million, net of tax, or $0.12 per diluted share), primarily in 2004. Of the exit costs, Aftermarket Technology Corp. currently estimates that approximately $2 million will consist of retention, termination and other employee benefits costs and approximately $2 million will consist of lease termination and other facility shut-down costs.
Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
On September 7, 2004, in connection with General Motors decision to resource its remanufactured transmission program from Aftermarket Technology Corp.s CRS-Gastonia, North Carolina facility by the end of 2004, Aftermarket Technology Corp. concluded that it expects to record a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $26-$31 million ($16-$20 million, net of tax, or $0.76-$0.92 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2004 related to the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets.
