Our Lake Charles, Louisiana facility was built at a cost of $3.8 million to process rice bran from a rice milling company adjacent to the facility. The facility is built on leased land which is owned by the rice milling company. The facility was idled in May 2009 due to lack of orders. We recorded a $2.3 million impairment loss on the facility in 2009. The facility is not classified as held for sale due to potential alternative uses and because we are not aggressively marketing the property. We evaluated, and continue to evaluate, alternate uses of the facility. Depreciation on the facility has continued after the facility was idled. As of December 31, 2013, the net book value of the idled facility included in property, net, was $1.0 million.

We also own equipment purchased in 2009 for use in the Lake Charles, Louisiana facility. In 2013 and 2012, we recorded impairments of $0.3 million and $1.1 million on the Lake Charles equipment and the net carrying amount of this equipment at December 31, 2013 is $0.4 million.
