At December 31, 2011 our assets held for sale consisted of the Byron Center and River Grove facilities (land, building and building improvements) and the Neenah land, all of which were formerly used in our operations. These assets were classified as "assets held for sale" when they ceased to be used in our operations and met all of the applicable criteria under GAAP. The Byron Center facility became classified as held for sale in September 2011, as discussed in Note 9. In classifying the Byron Center facility as held for sale, we concluded that the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the estimated fair value less costs to sell such assets. In determining the estimated fair value of the land and building, we obtained an independent appraisal. Based on this appraisal, we recognized a write-down of $910,000 in 2011 to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value less cost to sell.

Additionally, in 2011 due to continued negative local market conditions, we obtained an updated independent appraisal for the River Grove facility, the most significant of the remaining two properties. Based on this appraisal, we recognized an additional write-down of $225,000 in 2011 to reduce the carrying value of that asset to its estimated fair value less cost to sell.

These write-downs as of December 31, 2011 totaled $1.1 million and are included in corporate operating expense. We also recognized other asset held for sale write-downs of $717,000 in 2009 and $500,000 in 2010 related to these properties, associated with obtaining updated appraisals on such properties. These appraisals represent a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820-10-35. All three properties are being actively marketed; however, due to the current state of the commercial real estate market, we cannot be certain of the timing of the disposition of these assets or the potential for future write-downs associated with these assets.
