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 assets that we have designated as assets held for sale. At the time of designation, we ceased recognizing depreciation expense on these assets. As of March 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012, total assets held for sale were $1.6 million and were included in “Other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 we did not sell any real properties classified as held for sale. However, we recognized an additional gain related to the sale of our Fremont, California location during the first quarter of 2013 of approximately $0.2 million. The gain was related to proceeds that were held by the purchaser for certain remediation activities that were settled during the quarter. We continue to actively market the remaining properties that are held for sale. Due to the fact that the remaining properties are all land, depreciation expense is not impacted.
