Assets Held for Sale and Net Gain on Disposition [Abstract] |
Assets Held for Sale and Net Gain on Disposition | 4. Assets Held for Sale and Net Gain on Disposition We have certain facilities that we have designated as assets held for sale. At the time of designation, we ceased recognizing depreciation expense on these assets. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total assets held for sale were $9.5 million and $2.3 million respectively, and were included in “Other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we sold certain real properties held for sale that resulted in a $0.5 million gain recorded in “Selling, general, and administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we designated our Fremont, California location as held for sale and recorded the net book value of $6.6 million in “Other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We believe a sale is probable within the next six months. We plan to relocate in the surrounding area to continue servicing the immediate market. There were no sales of real properties during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. We continue to actively market the remaining properties that are held for sale.
