ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
We continually review locations to optimize the sustainable earning power and return on our invested capital. Our strategy, the Strategic Portfolio Optimization Model, also uses strategic ranking criteria to assess potential disposition candidates. The execution of this strategy entails selling generally non-strategic businesses.
During the first quarter of 2014, we sold a cemetery in Florida which was reported as held-for-sale at December 31, 2013 for approximately $0.2 million in cash.
As of March 31, 2014, we had no assets classified as held-for-sale. Assets and liabilities associated with the businesses held-for-sale on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands):
