Impairment testing of our tangible assets occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2012 we performed an impairment test of our cabinets business due to losses incurred during the first six months of 2012. The carrying amount of the tangible assets was determined to be recoverable as the projected undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value. In the third quarter of 2012, we recorded a $17.5 million impairment charge to the value of cabinets’ assets to reflect the expected proceeds from the sale of the cabinets business. Starting in the third quarter of 2012 cabinets’ assets were reclassified as discontinued operations and shown within Unallocated Corporate. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

During the third quarter of 2012, we sold the assets of the Patriot wood flooring distribution business.

In March 2012, we made the decision to permanently close a previously idled ceiling tile plant in Mobile, AL. As a result, during the first quarter we recorded accelerated depreciation of $9.3 million for machinery and equipment and a $4.6 million impairment charge for buildings in cost of goods sold. The preliminary fair values were determined by management estimates and an independent valuation based on information available at that time (considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy).

During the first quarter of 2011, we announced the idling of our Statesville, NC engineered wood production facility. As a result, we evaluated the impairment implications of this decision and determined no impairment charge was necessary.
