Property and Equipment, Net
The Company’s fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment. Depreciation and amortization expense are provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable and amortizable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. Depreciation and amortization expense for fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $7,510, $8,923 and $12,175, respectively, which includes amortization expense of $475, $475 and $317, respectively, for capital leased assets. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in earnings.
The Company accounts for the impairment of property and equipment in accordance with ASC 360. As of January 2, 2016, the Company determined property and equipment was not impaired. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company identified adverse events related to the Company’s overall financial performance, including accelerating downward trend in the Company’s revenues and gross margin, which indicated that the carrying amount of certain property and equipment may not be recoverable. Given the indicators of impairment, the Company utilized the royalty savings method rather than cost method in determining the fair values, using a discount rate of 14.5% and royalty rate of 1.0%. Based on its analysis, the Company recognized an impairment loss on internally developed software of $4,832. Any future decline in the fair value of an asset group could result in future impairments. All impairment losses in fiscal years 2013 are included in the Base USAP reportable segment.
Property and equipment consisted of the following at January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015:
On April 17, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Whitney Automotive Group, Inc. (“WAG”) entered into a sales leaseback for its facility in LaSalle, Illinois, receiving $9,750 pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated April 17, 2013 between WAG and STORE Capital Acquisitions, LLC. The Company used the net proceeds of $9,507 (net of $77 in legal fees) from this sale to reduce its revolving loan payable. Simultaneously with the execution of the purchase and sale agreement and the closing of the sale of the property, the Company entered into a lease agreement with STORE Master Funding III, LLC (“STORE”) whereby we leased back the property for our continued use as an office, retail and warehouse facility for storage, sale and distribution of automotive parts, accessories and related items for 20 years, terminating on April 30, 2033. The related assets represent the amounts included in land and building in the summary above. The Company’s initial base annual rent is $853 for the first year (“Base Rent Amount”), after which the rental amount will increase annually on May 1 by the lesser of 1.5% or 1.25 times the change in the Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, except that in no event will the adjusted annual rental amount fall below the Base Rent Amount. We were not required to pay any security deposit. Under the terms of the lease, we are required to pay all taxes associated with the lease, pay for any required maintenance on the property, maintain certain levels of insurance and indemnify STORE for losses incurred that are related to our use or occupancy of the property. The lease was accounted for as a capital lease and the $376 excess of the net proceeds over the net carrying amount of the property is amortized in interest expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term of 20 years. As of January 2, 2016, the gross carrying value, the accumulated depreciation and the net carrying value of all capital leased assets included in property and equipment were $11,543, $1,839 and $9,704, respectively. As of January 3, 2015, the gross carrying value, the accumulated depreciation and the net carrying value of all capital leased assets included in property and equipment were $9,643, $907 and $8,736, respectively.
Construction in process primarily relates to the Company’s internally developed software. Certain of the Company’s net property and equipment were located in the Philippines as of January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, in the amount of $302 and $244, respectively.
