In order to qualify for like-kind (“LKE”) treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event that the LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had $23.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in “Other Assets,” which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.

Costs for roads in the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand built to access particular tracts to be harvested in the upcoming 24 months to 60 months are recorded as prepaid logging and secondary roads. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, long-term prepaid roads in the Pacific Northwest were $5.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, long-term secondary roads in New Zealand were $2.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt to which they relate using a method that approximates the interest method. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, capitalized debt issuance costs were $3.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Software costs are capitalized and amortized over a period not exceeding five years using the straight-line method.
