On January 1, 2008, Century adopted a plan to sell the assets and product line of the office equipment division and considered it a component of the company. On September 1, 2008, the division€™s assets and product line were sold for $2,100,000 cash, resulting in a gain of $640,000. The company€™s textiles division had six manufacturing plants that produced a variety of textile products. In April 2008, the company sold one of these plants and realized a gain of $130,000. After the sale the operations at the plant that was sold were transferred to the remaining five textile plants, which the company continued to operate. In August 2008, the main warehouse of the food products division, located on the banks of the Bayer River, was flooded when the river overflowed. The resulting damage of $420,000 is not included in the financial data given previously. Historical records indicate that the Bayer River normally overflows every 4 to 5 years, causing flood damage to adjacent property.
