Highlight of Business Operations:
At second quarter-end 2010, assets held for sale includes about 74,000 acres of undeveloped land with a carrying value of $17,977,000 and related timber with a carrying value of $10,002,000. We continue to actively market this land but did not sell any land in first six months 2010 in accordance with these initiatives. Market conditions for timberland have deteriorated since second quarter 2009 due to limited capital availability, increased investor return requirements and alternative investment options for buyers in the marketplace. As a result of these market conditions, additional time may be required to complete the sale of these assets.In second quarter and first six months 2010, cost of sales include a $900,000 non-cash impairment charge related to a residential real estate project located near Salt Lake City, Utah.
