Growth and aging of the current population alone should support the addition of about 1.0 million new households per year.” The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, The State of the Nation’s Housing 2012.

The cash was used for an immediate prepayment on the mortgage loan without incurring a prepayment premium. During fiscal 2011, we prepaid $3.0 million in principal relating to the casualty loss at our Newtown facility. Additionally, we sold certain properties in December which reduced the mortgage loan by an additional $6.5 million. The proceeds from these sales were applied to principal reduction in fiscal 2012. During 3Q 2012 we sold our facility in Newark, CA; the cash received from the sale is reflected in the cash trap at September 29, 2012; On October 1, 2012 $12.8mm of cash from the sale and $11.8mm of cash accumulated in the cash trap was used to pay down the mortgage principal.
