Leasehold improvements increased $1.9 million to $2.7 million at October 28, 2012, primarily due to the capitalization of improvements to our new High Point, NC showroom during the fiscal 2013 first quarter.

The buildings and land improvements, machinery and equipment and land fixed asset categories decreased at October 28, 2012, primarily due to the sale of our former Cherryville, NC upholstery manufacturing facility during the fiscal 2013 second quarter.

The $1.3 million in construction-in-process at October 28, 2012 is made up primarily of expenses to support our continued ERP conversion efforts and technological upgrades in our import and upholstery operations.
