The closure of the Corsicana, Texas manufacturing facility was completed during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Upon closure of the facility, many of the assets were relocated to other manufacturing locations. Expenses incurred as part of the relocation process were $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2012 and were included in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The land and building in Corsicana, Texas comprise the majority of the $2.8 million and $3.8 million of fixed assets held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 30, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we made the decision to close our Cambridge, Ontario manufacturing facility in May 2013 in order to consolidate the operations of our two Canadian manufacturing facilities. In conjunction with this decision, an asset impairment charge of $2.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 as we intend to sell certain manufacturing equipment no longer deemed necessary for the operation of our Canadian manufacturing facility and the associated land and buildings during 2013.
