Liabilities related to assets held for sale consist primarily of deferred rent credits associated with our West 57th Street land lease and tenant security deposits. These liabilities are considered part of the disposal group and will be removed from the balance sheet when we complete the sale of the building during the second quarter of 2013.

 

Accrued warranty expense is recorded at the time of sale for instruments that have a warranty period ranging from one to ten years. The accrued expense recorded is generally calculated on a ratio of warranty costs to sales based on our warranty history and is adjusted periodically following an analysis of actual warranty claims. The accrued warranty expense activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the year ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:
