Depreciation expense was $660 thousand, $637 thousand and $589 thousand for the years ending December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Due to the sale of our pool products business in November 2013 and the closing of our facilities in Pleasanton, California, we performed an evaluation of property, plant and equipment located in California. In performing this review, we sought out a buyer of the assets for which we no longer had use, and recorded an impairment charge of $608 thousand, which represented the difference between the fair value of the asset group and its carrying value. These assets were reclassified on our Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption “Assets held for sale” as of December 31, 2013, and were subsequently sold for $130 thousand; the carrying value of the assets after the impairment charge.
