Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

On March 3, 2016, the Board of Directors of RF Industries, Ltd. (the “Company”) approved the closure of the Company’s Bioconnect medical cabling division. The closure is part of the Company’s on-going plan to close or dispose of underperforming divisions that are not part of the Company’s core operations. The operations of the Bioconnect division will wind down and is expected to cease operations by the end of the month of March, 2016.

 

As of the date of this filing, the Company estimates that it will incur approximately $290,000 in costs associated with the termination of the operations of Bioconnect. These costs include $215,000 in disposal costs, primarily inventory and fixed asset write offs, and $75,000 in employee severance costs.

 

This report on Form 8-K contains projections and other forward-looking statements regarding the costs associated with the closure of the Bioconnect division. These statements are only predictions and reflect the Company’s current beliefs and expectations. Actual events or results may differ materially from those contained in the projections or forward-looking statements.
