We sold our Fremont Campus in May 2016 for a net sales price of $24.1 million. Our Fremont Campus consists of approximately 151,000 square feet of office space and 4.5 acres of partially developed property adjacent to the buildings. Pursuant to the agreement, we have simultaneously leased back a portion of the Real Property through December 2017.
Under the Lease Agreement, our financial obligations include a base monthly rent of $86,338 per month for the property located at 48720 Kato Road, and an additional monthly rent of $600 with respect to the portion of the building located at 48710 Kato Road, Fremont, California. We are also responsible for our monthly share of certain expenses related to the leased facilities, including our share of insurance premiums, taxes and common area expenses. We generated a gain on sale of $11.9 million as a result of this sale and leaseback transaction, $2.6 million of the gain has been deferred and is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. During the three months ended July 3, 2016, we recognized amortization of the deferred gain of $0.2 million, which was reflected as reduction of rent in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Based on the terms of the agreement, we have classified and are accounting for the
lease as an operating lease. The classification as an operating lease required judgment and estimates in developing key assumptions that include, but are not limited to, the lease term, the discount rate used in discounting future lease payments and the economic useful life of the asset.
