In June 2012, GPS purchased an office building and the underlying land for $1,955,000 cash. The building is large enough to locate the staff of GPS in one facility, and the purchase eliminated the need for leased office space in Connecticut. Depreciation expense amounts related to continuing operations for property, plant and equipment were approximately $142,000 and $136,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were approximately $407,000 and $385,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The costs of maintenance and repairs for continuing operations totaled $83,000 and $92,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $204,000 and $263,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company also uses equipment and occupies facilities under non-cancelable operating leases and other rental agreements.
