Capital Leases

In October 2011, the Company entered into a construction contract and lease agreement for a boat manufacturing and distribution facility in Brazil. The Company is deemed to be the owner of the project as the Company is financing a portion of the construction costs during the construction period, $1.4 million of which has been expended through December 31, 2011. As a result, the Company is treating the facility lease as a capital lease. The facility is expected to be completed in 2012, at which time the Company will begin amortizing the asset through depreciation expense. The Company had no capital leases in 2010 or 2009.  The amounts recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31 are as follows:

(in millions)
