Asset Disposition, Impairment Charges and Accrued Lease Exit Costs, and Income from CDSOA
 
Asset Disposition
 
On March 12, 2015, we closed on the sale of our retail real estate investment property located in Sugarland, Texas and received cash in the amount of $2,835 which is included in proceeds from sales of property and equipment in the accompanying statement of condensed consolidated cash flows. This asset was included in other assets at November 29, 2014 along with our other investments in retail real estate. During the nine months ended August 29, 2015, we recognized a non-cash charge of $182 to write down the carrying value of the Sugarland real estate to the selling price. This charge is included in other loss, net in our condensed consolidated income statement.
 
Asset Impairment Charges and Lease Exit Costs
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2015 we announced the closing of our Company-owned retail store location in Memphis, Tennessee. In connection with this closing, we recognized non-cash charges for the nine months ended August 29, 2015 of $419 for the accrual of lease exit costs and $106 for the write off of abandoned leasehold improvements and other store assets.
 
The following table summarized the activity related to our accrued lease exit costs:

Provisions associated with Company-owned retail store closures

    $ 667  
 
Management Restructuring Costs
 
During the nine months ended August 29, 2015, we recognized $449 of expense related to severance payable to a former executive, who left the Company in April, 2015. Of the total severance amount, $254 had been paid during the second and third quarters of 2015 with the remaining $195 included in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at August 29, 2015.
 
Income from Continued Dumping & Subsidy Offset Act
 
During the nine months ended August 29, 2015, we recognized income of $1,066 arising from distributions received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”) under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (“CDSOA”). These distributions primarily represent amounts previously withheld by Customs pending the resolution of claims filed by certain manufacturers who did not support the antidumping petition (“Non-Supporting Producers”) challenging certain provisions of the CDSOA and seeking to share in the distributions. The Non-Supporting Producers’ claims were dismissed by the courts and all appeals were exhausted in 2014. While it is possible that we may receive additional distributions from Customs, we cannot estimate the likelihood or amount of any future distributions.
