As part of the restructuring plan discussed in Note 5, we exited one of our facilities and have classified the land, building, and certain other assets included in the disposal group as held for sale. The assets are currently recorded at net book value and are no longer being depreciated. Subsequent to the balance sheet date we entered into a sales agreement worth approximately $2,400 for these assets.
