Accumulated impairment losses were RMB2,820 million and RMB2,995 million as of the same dates. In the annual impairment assessment of goodwill, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of respective reporting units exceeded its fair value and recorded an impairment charge of RMB157 million, RMB44 million and RMB175 million during the years ended March 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The impairment losses resulted from a revision of long-term financial outlook and the change in business model of those reporting units. The impairment charge was determined by comparing the carrying amount of goodwill associated with that reporting unit with the implied fair value of the goodwill.
