Depreciation expense was $7.3 million, $6.4 million and $5.3 million for fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, of which $0.5 million was related to depreciation on capital leases for fiscal year 2016, 2015, and 2014. 

 

Property, plant, and equipment include various capital leases which total $3.2 million and $3.3 million, less accumulated depreciation of $2.5 million and $2.1 million as of October 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The increase in construction in progress from $12.3 million as of October 31, 2015, to $25.5 million as of October 31, 2016, is due to leasehold improvements to the facility in Jacksonville, Florida, and leasehold improvements to the facility in Houston, Texas.
