In January 2016, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Agreement) with a Buyer (collectively the “Parties”) to sell two unoccupied buildings, with approximately 52,000 square feet, and land, at its Fitchburg, Massachusetts campus. 



In December 2016, the Parties entered into a First Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the First Amendment) which extended the time to close to January 13, 2018.   As part of the consideration for extending the Agreement the Buyer agreed to pay certain extension fees.

 

In January 2017, the Parties entered into a Second Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Second Amendment) to further extend the time to close to July 2018.   The Second Amendment permits the Buyer to assign the Agreement to a third party and extends the extension fees through July 2018 or the culmination of the agreement.



At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the real estate under agreement was classified as Assets Held for Sale valued at $688,750.  The carrying value approximated the fair value less the cost to sell.
