Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory were $24.1 million and $23.8 million at March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively.
As of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the building and the underlying land located in Oberdiessbach, Switzerland were presented at fair value of $2.9 million as "Assets Held for Sale" in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined fair value of the assets held for sale based on indication of value resulting from marketing the building and the land to prospective buyers. Please refer to Note 17, "Fair Value Measurements" for further information on such measurements.
The Company establishes reserves for estimated cost of product warranties based on historical information. Product warranty reserves are recorded at the time product revenue is recognized, and retrofit accruals are recorded at the time retrofit programs are established. The Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, utilization levels, material usage, service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure and supplier warranties on parts delivered to the Company.
The following is a summary of product warranty and retrofit activity on a gross basis for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
