ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND REAL ESTATE SALES
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND REAL ESTATE SALES	2.     ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND REAL ESTATE SALES         At December 31, 2010, assets held for sale included 13 acres in Kahului, Maui that was a portion of the former agriculture facilities. In 2010, this parcel was written down to its estimated fair value less cost to sell, resulting in impairment charges of $2.1 million. In June 2011, the Company sold the parcel for $9.75 million and recorded losses of $312,000. The sale resulted in net cash proceeds of $9.0 million, including $4.1 million that was initially withheld in escrow, but released after satisfaction of lender's conditions. In 2011, $899,000 of proceeds from a 2010 land sale was released from escrow after completion of certain post-closing obligations. At December 31, 2011, the Company's remaining land in Kahului of approximately 7 acres is in assets held for sale.         In 2010, the Company sold the land, improvements, structures and fixtures comprising the Bay Course and the adjacent maintenance facility for a total of $24.1 million in cash. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into an agreement to lease back the assets through March 31, 2011, and due to certain construction work required by the leaseback arrangement and other continuing involvement, the sale was accounted for as a financing transaction. Accordingly, the net proceeds received had been reflected as a current liability and no gain was recognized at the time of the sale. At the conclusion of the leaseback of the Bay Course as of March 31, 2011, the Company recognized $15.1 million of gain from the sale of the Bay Course and maintenance facility, which is included in discontinued operations. In 2009, the Company sold the Plantation Golf Course (PGC) and the related land improvements and other assets and entered into a leaseback arrangement that also expired on March 31, 2011. A gain on the sale of the PGC of $27.7 million was recognized primarily in September 2010.         In 2010, the Company recognized revenues of $7.9 million and pre-tax profit of $5.8 million from the sale of real estate inventories. Also in 2010, the Company sold three non-inventory real properties and recognized gains of $3.6 million, of which $350,000 is included in discontinued operations related to the former Agriculture segment.
