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 As part of our efforts to improve our cost structure and cash flow, we closed certain facilities and designated them as assets held for sale. At the time of designation, we ceased recognizing depreciation expense on these assets. As of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total assets held for sale were $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and were included in “Other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal 2012, we sold certain real properties held for sale, which had a total carrying value of $7.4 million, that resulted in a $9.9 million gain recorded in “Selling, general, and administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During fiscal 2011, we sold certain real properties held for sale, which had a total carrying value of $4.0 million, that resulted in a $5.2 million gain recorded in “Selling, general, and administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We continue to actively market the remaining properties that are held for sale. Due to the fact that as of December 29, 2012 the remaining properties are all land, depreciation expense is not impacted.
