Note 19—Sale of Real Estate

 

Sale of Paterson, NJ Location

 

In November 2016, the Company finalized the sale of its Paterson, NJ property for cash proceeds in the amount of $1,382. This transaction resulted in a gain of $792, which was recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a gain on sale of real estate during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2016.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, as part of its ongoing facility consolidation and rationalization initiative, the Company committed to a plan to actively market the Paterson, NJ property for sale. At that time, Chase owned the building and leased the land from the landowner.  Prior to the sale in fiscal 2017, the building was being leased to a tenant and the land was being sub-leased. Upon commitment to a plan to sell the property, the Company reclassified the net book value of the related assets to assets held for sale. The assets held for sale had been reported within Corporate and Common assets as of August 31, 2016.
