—RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITY
 
 
In
September 2016,
we determined that
81%
of our Reston Town Center facility in Reston, Virginia (RTC) was
no
longer needed to conduct our business and, accordingly, we renewed efforts to sublease the surplus space at this facility. As a result, we recorded a restructuring charge of
$1.9
million for the estimated liability associated with future rentals of the surplus space due under the property lease as of the cease use date. The fair value of this liability at the cease use date was determined based on the remaining cash flows for lease rentals, and minimum lease payments, reduced by estimated sublease rentals, discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate. ASC
420,
Exit or Disposal Cost Obligation,
” requires this liability to be adjusted for changes, if any, resulting from revisions to estimated cash flows after the cease-use date. In
March 2017,
we re-evaluated the estimated cash flows from the estimated sublease rentals and operating expenses. As a result, we recorded an additional
$0.4
million restructuring charge in our
second
quarter of fiscal year
2017.
In the
first
quarter of fiscal year
2018,
we adjusted the estimated cash flows due to an increase in real estate taxes and recorded an additional
$0.1
million restructuring charge. As of
June 29, 2018,
we have subleased
40%
of the surplus space. 
 
On
December 21, 2017,
the Lease Amending Agreement Surrender Agreement (“Surrender Agreement”) entered into by Learning Tree International Inc. (“Learning Tree Canada”), the Canadian subsidiary of Learning Tree, and T.E.C. Leaseholds Limited became effective, which provided for the amendment and early termination of Learning Tree Canada’s lease agreement, dated
March 6, 2000,
as amended (“Lease Agreement”) for its Education Center located in Toronto, Ontario. The Surrender Agreement provided for the early termination of the Lease Agreement, which occurred on
March 31, 2018.
As a result, we recorded a
$0.2
million restructuring charge for surrender fees and commissions related to the surrender of the lease in the
first
quarter of fiscal year
2018.
 
There were
no
restructuring charges recorded in our
third
quarter of fiscal year
2018.
Restructuring liability is recorded as part of deferred facilities rent and other in the consolidated balance sheets. The presentation below sets forth in more detail what comprises the amount of deferred facilities rent and other at each of
June 29, 2018
and
September 29, 2017.
