Note 5. Sale of Theatre Rigging Division

In July 2014, we sold our automated rigging systems division for theatre applications. Related to the sale, we recorded a $1,261 gain which is included in cost of goods sold in the High School Park and Recreation business unit. In connection with the sale, we changed the name of the business unit from Schools and Theatres to High School Park and Recreation to more accurately describe it. See "Note 2. Segment Reporting" for a further description.

As part of the transaction, we sold assets of $2,817 that primarily consisted of accounts receivable, patents, inventory, and manufacturing equipment net of $355 of accounts payable.
