Discontinued Operations
 
Effective
October 31, 2016,
the Company discontinued the operations of its Vessels segment in order to focus its efforts and resources on the business segments that have historically been more successful and that are expected to present greater opportunities for meaningful long-term shareholder returns.
 
In
January 2018,
the Company accepted an offer on the real estate assets of its Vessels segment for
$1,500,000,
which was below the carrying value of the real estate assets at that time. Based on these facts the Company recorded an impairment of the real estate assets of approximately
$289,000
for the fiscal year ended
November 30, 2017,
which reduced the value to
$1,425,000,
which is the value the Company expected to receive after commissions on the sale of these real estate assets. On
March 29, 2018,
the remaining assets of Vessels, consisting of these real estate assets, were disposed of at a selling price of
$1,500,000.
 
As Vessels was a unique business unit of the Company, its liquidation was a strategic shift. In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic
360,
the Company has classified Vessels as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
