13. Gain on Sale of Product Line

        During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we sold substantially all of the assets of a non-strategic product line within our Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul segment. Proceeds from the sale were $10,000 cash paid at closing, and the net carrying value of the assets sold was $4,078, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of product line of $5,922. The gain on this transaction has been classified as a component of operating income in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
