When did the effects of the Rossignol deal come into play?

0

Then, as you know well, Rossignol hit the skids about three years ago when we had the worst winter in 100 years and business just blew up. It was the worst year Rossi ever had. It puts the business back about two years because people couldn’t pay for their goods, they couldn’t re-order obviously, they couldn’t place a new order because they already had skis in inventory, and so it screwed up not only that year, but also the next year, and a lot of the following year. We got wind of that and tried to pull ourselves out of that tailspin with Rossi, and so we decided to sell it. By the time we decided to sell it and J.P. Morgan got involved in selling it we had a buyer, but the recession hit so the price went down and down and down. The buyer eventually got it for nothing, but we were finally able to get it off our books. In the meantime, the banking arrangements stayed ring fenced. So what happened is the banking stuff in Europe was coming due, which was a little over a year ago, in June
