Land Sales

No value has been assigned to the land held by the Trust other than parcels which have been acquired through foreclosure and a limited number of parcels which have been acquired. Consequently, no allowance for depletion is computed, and no charge to income is made, with respect thereto, and no cost is deducted from the proceeds of the land sales in computing gain or loss thereon.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we completed the following sales of land parcels (in thousands, except number of acres):
