7.FINANCING OBLIGATION

In connection with the sale and leaseback of our corporate headquarters facility located in Salt Lake City, Utah, we entered into a 20-year master lease agreement with the purchaser, an unrelated private investment group. The 20-year master lease agreement also contains six five-year renewal options that will allow us to maintain our operations at the current location for up to 50 years. Although the corporate headquarters facility was sold and the Company has no legal ownership of the property, we were prohibited from recording the transaction as a sale since we have subleased a significant portion of the property that was sold to other tenants. Accordingly, we must account for the sale as a financing transaction, which requires us to continue reporting the corporate headquarters facility as an asset and to record a financing obligation for the sale price.

The financing obligation on our corporate campus was comprised of the following (in thousands):



AUGUST 31,		2013		2012
Financing obligation payable in
monthly installments of $275 at
August 31, 2013, including
principal and interest, with two
percent annual increases
(imputed interest at 7.7%),
through June 2025	$	28,515	$	29,507
Less current portion		(1,139)		(992)
Total financing obligation,
less current portion	$	27,376	$	28,515

Future principal maturities of our financing obligation were as follows at August 31, 2013 (in thousands):



YEAR ENDING
AUGUST 31,
2014	$	1,139
2015		1,298
2016		1,473
2017		1,662
2018		1,868
Thereafter		21,075
	$	28,515

Our remaining future minimum payments under the financing obligation in the initial 20-year lease term are as follows (in thousands):



YEAR ENDING
AUGUST 31,
2014	$	3,307
2015		3,373
2016		3,440
2017		3,509
2018		3,579
Thereafter		26,330
Total future minimum financing
obligation payments		43,538
Less interest		(16,335)
Present value of future minimum
financing obligation payments	$	27,203

The $1.3 million difference between the carrying value of the financing obligation and the present value of the future minimum financing obligation payments represents the carrying value of the land sold in the financing transaction, which is not depreciated. At the conclusion of the master lease agreement, the remaining financing obligation and carrying value of the land will be written off our financial statements.
