Item 2.05.    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
 
On February 20, 2007, the Company announced its decision to close its distribution facility in Hauppauge (Long Island), New York. This action is being taken as part of the Company's effort to appropriately adjust the size of its infrastructure in light of the recent downturn in the housing market. The Company expects this action to be completed in the first half of 2007.

The Company expects to incur between $2.0 million and $2.5 million in operating charges related to this action during the first half of 2007, including between $1.8 million and $2.3 million for facility exit costs, comprised of remaining facility lease rentals (net of estimated sublease rentals), asset write-offs and transfer costs and approximately $0.2 million for employee severance costs. The Company expects between $1.2 million and $1.7 million of these charges to be cash payments, including the remaining rentals to be paid out over the term of the facility lease in 2007 through 2010.
