NorthStar Print Group, Inc.
During 2005, Multi-Color Corporation (Multi-Color) acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of NorthStar Print Group, Inc. (NorthStar), our former label printing business.  Certain liabilities were excluded from the sale of NorthStar and primarily consisted of environmental site closure costs for both the Green Bay, Wisconsin real estate and real estate located in Norway, Michigan.  In January 2011, upon environmental site closure in Green Bay, Wisconsin, we sold the real estate holdings to Multi-Color according to the 2005 sale agreement.  The net proceeds were $822 and we recorded a pre-tax gain of $610.  We continue to have environmental site closure obligations with respect to the Norway, Michigan real estate, which was sold to Multi-Color in 2005.
