Effective January 1, 2012, Headwaters sold its interest in Blue Flint for approximately $18.5 million. Since Headwaters’ initial investment in Blue Flint, equity earnings in excess of $15.0 million have been recorded that increased Headwaters’ carrying value of the investment to an amount that was in excess of the cash proceeds. As a result, a non-cash loss on the sale, which is not included in the table above, of approximately $6.3 million was recorded in the December 2011 quarter in other expense in the statement of operations.
