[1] Included in Construction in progress and other as of June 3, 2014 and June 4, 2013 are $18.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively, of assets held for sale that are not classified as such in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as we do not expect to sell these assets within the next 12 months. These assets primarily consist of parcels of land upon which we have no intention to build restaurants and closed properties which include a building.
