At August 31, 2019, capital in progress on the balance sheet included £9.0 million Pound Sterling ($10.9 million in U.S. Dollars as converted at exchange rates as of August 31, 2019) associated with capital costs related to the purchase of the Company’s new office building and related land in Milton Keynes, England. Upon completion of the buildout and relocation of employees based in the United Kingdom to this new office building in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company placed these assets into service and reclassified the amounts recorded in capital in progress to the respective fixed asset categories, which includes amounts attributable to the land. Since all assets associated with this new office building are denominated in Pound Sterling, amounts will fluctuate in U.S. Dollars from period to period due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
