Accumulated depreciation	(41,343)		(36,101)
Property, plant, and equipment, net	$	24,388	$	37,867

Depreciation expense totaled $2.4 million and $5.4 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively and $1.2 million and $3.2 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company consummated the sale of the real property interests in the Tinley Park Facility to 8400 W 185TH STREET INVESTORS, LLC, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10.3 million and a gain on sale of assets of

$1.2 million. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, we sold certain equipment and incurred a gain on sale of assets of $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, there was a triggering event of negative cash flows and operating losses at the FOG asset group level within the Inertial Navigation product line of the A&D segment that indicated the carrying amounts of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASC 360, with regard to our long-lived assets, we performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis and concluded that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable. Accordingly, we then performed an analysis to estimate the fair value of the other long-lived assets and recognized an impairment charge within operating expenses of $3.0 million against the FOG property, plant, and equipment by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group's other long-lived assets exceeded their estimated fair value for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Key assumptions utilized in the determination of fair value include expected future cash flows and working capital requirements. While we believe the expectations and assumptions about the future are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company announced a restructuring program which caused the Company to accelerate depreciation on the Broadband segment and defense optoelectronics assets to an end-of-life date of December 2023, resulting in depreciation expense of $0.8 million for each of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023.
