The decreases in computer software and hardware, furniture and fixtures and accumulated depreciation line items above are primarily due to the write-off of fully depreciated assets that are no longer in use.

At January 31, 2016, construction-in-progress consisted of approximately $294,000 of expenditures related to our ongoing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) conversion efforts and approximately $552,000 related to various other projects to enhance our facilities and operations.

The decrease in the construction-in-progress line item above is primarily due to placing our ERP asset in service when the Sam Moore division went-live on our ERP platform during the fiscal 2016 second quarter. This partially offset the decreases in the computer software and hardware line item discussed above.

No significant property, plant or equipment was held outside of the United States at either January 31, 2016 or February 1, 2015.
