DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
Due to a historical pattern of losses in the construction operations of our United Kingdom segment and our negative assessment of construction market conditions in the United Kingdom for the foreseeable future, we ceased construction operations in the United Kingdom during the third quarter 2014. The results of the construction operations of our United Kingdom segment for all periods are presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations.
The results of discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

The loss from discontinued operations in 2017 and 2016 was primarily due to legal costs related to the settlement of final contract balances on certain construction projects completed in prior years. The loss from discontinued operations in 2017 was partially offset by revenues recognized upon the settlement of a previously outstanding contract claim.
Included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are the following major classes of assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operation (in thousands):

At December 31, 2017, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation consisted of accounts receivable, contract retentions and contract warranty obligations that are expected to be collected or fulfilled in the ordinary course of business. Additionally at December 31, 2017, there remained less than $0.1 million of obligations related to employee severance, which are expected to be paid in 2018. The settlement of the remaining assets and liabilities may result in additional income and/or expenses. Such income and/or expenses are expected to be immaterial and will be reflected as discontinued operations as incurred.
