Other Assets
OTHER ASSETS
Included in Other Assets are non-current prepaid and deferred income taxes, restricted cash, HBU real estate not expected to be sold within the next 12 months, goodwill in the New Zealand JV, and other deferred expenses including debt issuance and capitalized software costs.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the cost of Rayonier’s HBU real estate not expected to be sold within the next 12 months was $77.4 million and $68.2 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014, New Zealand JV goodwill was $9.7 million and was included in the assets of the New Zealand Timber segment (formerly within the Forest Resources segment). Based on a Step 1 impairment analysis performed as of October 1, 2014, there is no indication of impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2014. No adjustments have resulted from the subsequent recognition of deferred tax assets during the period as goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on goodwill.

In order to qualify for like-kind (“LKE”) treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event that the LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $6.7 million and $68.9 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in Other Assets, which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.
Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt to which they relate using a method that approximates the interest method. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, capitalized debt issuance costs were $3.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively. Software costs are capitalized and amortized over a period not exceeding five years using the straight-line method. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, capitalized software costs were $4.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
