On April 17, 2015 we purchased the Towables assembly facilities in Middlebury, Indiana, for $5.4 million and on May 5, 2015 we purchased a facility in Waverly, Iowa, for $850,000 for expansion of our subassembly operations.

As previously disclosed, in the third quarter of Fiscal 2015 we placed our corporate plane for sale. We have reclassified the net book value to current other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
