Sale of Hardwoods
On August 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our hardwoods operations to American Industrial Partners for consideration of $109 million, of which $25 million is a note receivable. During second quarter 2011, we reduced our hardwoods assets to their fair value less selling costs which resulted in the recognition of a $9 million charge. An additional $10 million pension curtailment charge was recognized in third quarter 2011 when the transaction closed. Total pre-tax charges on the sale of $22 million were recorded in our Wood Products segment. We recognized a tax benefit on the sale of $8 million, resulting in a year-to-date net loss of $14 million.
The following operating assets were included as part of the transaction:
seven primary hardwood mills with a total capacity of 300 million board feet,
four concentration yards,
three remanufacturing plants,
one log merchandising yard and
sales office in the U.S., Canada, Japan, China and Hong Kong.
Sale of Westwood Shipping Lines
On September 30, 2011, we completed the sale of Westwood Shipping Lines to J-WesCo of Japan for $58 million in cash. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $49 million in Corporate and Other and recorded tax expense of $18 million, resulting in a net gain of $31 million. This transaction also reduced our operating lease obligations by approximately $130 million.

Results of discontinued operations exclude certain general corporate overhead costs that have been allocated to and are included in contribution to earnings for the operating segments.

Other discontinued operations relate to current period gains or losses for businesses we have divested in prior years and are included in the Corporate and Other segment.
