Assets held for sale

 

In December 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved listing certain parcels of real estate for sale in Polk and Hendry counties totaling approximately 3,200 acres. As a result, the Company reclassified the net book value of the properties to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of the properties exceeds their net book value, and no impairment was recognized as a result of the reclassification.

 

See Note 11. "Subsequent Events" for detail on the sale of Polk County property that was classified as held for sale.
