The used mill equipment was valued at $6,500 at December 31, 2015 and 2014 based on third party assessments of the projected sale value, net of commissions and other costs to sell, giving full consideration to current market conditions and an orderly sale process. Although we continue to actively market this equipment, we no longer classify it as ‘held for sale’ on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 or 2014 as we do not have reasonable assurance that the mill equipment will sell within 12 months.  We are not currently depreciating the used mill equipment as we continue to market it and it is not in use.
