The Company reviewed the accounting standards, Real Estate - General (ASC 970-10) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360-10), to determine the appropriate classification for this property. According to ASC 970-10, real estate that is held for sale in the ordinary course of business is classified as inventory, which is a current asset. ASC 360-10 provides the following criteria for property to be classified as held for sale:

 

•Management with the appropriate authority commits to a plan to sell the asset;
•The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;
•An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan of sale have been initiated;
•The sale of the property or asset within one year is probable and will qualify for accounting purposes as a sale;
•The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and
•Actions required to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

 

The Company had sales of units during the period and has reviewed the recent interest for remaining units. Based on the review, the Company believes that the sale of the remaining units within one year is probable. The Company concluded that all of these criteria have been met for these properties and that they are appropriately classified as held for sale in current assets.
