In the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company announced its decision to relocate its Duarte, California operations to the Company’s newly renovated Drake Campus in Fort Collins, Colorado. The carrying value of the assets at the Duarte facility was $10,738 as of June 30, 2019, of which the Company has identified assets held for sale with a carrying value of $7,848. At September 30, 2018, the Company identified assets held for sale of $8,306. The majority of the assets held for sale are included in “Land and land improvements” and “Buildings and buildings improvements” which relate to the land, building and building improvements, and other assets at the Duarte facility. The assets held for sale are included in the Company’s Aerospace segment. Based on current market conditions, the Company expects to record a gain on the eventual sale of these assets. The Company has identified approximately $377 that is planned to be disposed of as a result of the relocation.

The Company assessed whether the decision to relocate from its Duarte facility could indicate a potential impairment of the assets at the Duarte facility and concluded that the assets were not impaired as of June 30, 2019.

In fiscal year 2015, Woodward completed and placed into service a manufacturing and office building on a second campus in the greater-Rockford, Illinois area and has occupied the new facility for its Aerospace segment. This campus is intended to support Woodward’s expected growth in its Aerospace segment as a result of Woodward being awarded a substantial number of new system platforms, particularly on narrow-body aircraft.

Included in “Construction in progress” are costs of $23,801 at June 30, 2019 and $32,248 at September 30, 2018 associated with new equipment purchases for the greater-Rockford, Illinois campus and costs of $5,624 at June 30, 2019 and $3,967 at September 30, 2018 associated with new equipment purchases and the renovation of the Drake Campus.

Included in “Office furniture and equipment” and “Other” is $1,627 at June 30, 2019 and $1,650 at September 30, 2018, of gross assets acquired on capital leases, and accumulated depreciation included $1,441 at June 30, 2019 and $1,158 at September 30, 2018 of amortization associated with the capital lease assets.
