Feb. 28, 2013
Assets Held for Sale | 6. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Assets held for sale of $5.8 million pertains to two parcels of land in or around Houston. The largest parcel is 50 acres purchased in October 2007 on which we had previously planned to construct future facilities in Pearland, Texas. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, we decided not to proceed with construction of the future facilities at this location and recognized a $1.7 million asset write-down of pre-construction building costs and capitalized interest. The properties are being actively marketed using the services of a broker.
