Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposal of Assets
On May 10, 2006 the Company and its Irish subsidiary, SIFCO Turbine Components Limited (“SIFCO Turbine”), completed the sale of the large aerospace portion of its turbine engine component repair business and certain related assets to SR Technics, which is based in Zurich, Switzerland (“SRT”), through a wholly-owned Irish subsidiary named SR Technics Airfoil Services Limited. Historically, the large aerospace portion of SIFCO Turbine’s turbine engine component repair business was operated in portions of two facilities located in Cork, Ireland, one of which was sold as part of the transaction along with certain inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. Net proceeds from the sale of the business and certain related assets, after approximately $0.8 million of third party transaction charges, are anticipated to be $9.0 million, paid in cash, and the assets that were sold had a net book value of approximately $4.4 million, of which approximately $3.4 million were classified as assets held for sale and $1.0 million was classified as inventory at March 31, 2006. Of the $9.0 of net proceeds, $1.4 million remained in escrow at closing subject to the final satisfaction of certain post closing obligations. SIFCO Turbine retains substantially all existing liabilities of the business and the Company has guaranteed the performance by SIFCO Turbine of all of its obligations under an applicable asset purchase agreement.
