15. Impairments

 

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. A provision is made for impairment if estimated future operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than the current book value of the property. Key factors that we utilize in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, historical sales and releases, capital expenditures and property sales capitalization rates. If a property is classified as held for sale, it is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell, and depreciation of the property ceases.

 

During the third quarter of 2015, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $3.9 million on one property classified as held for sale, one property classified as held for investment, and two sold properties in the following industries: one in the pet supplies and services industry and three in the restaurant-casual dining industry. For the first nine months of 2015, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $9.2 million on four properties classified as held for sale, three properties classified as held for investment, four sold properties, and one property disposed of other than by sale in the following industries: one in the health and fitness industry, one in the pet supplies and services industry, nine in the restaurant-casual dining industry, and one among the industry we classify as “other.”  These properties were not previously classified as held for sale in financial statements issued prior to the date of adoption of ASU 2014-08; accordingly, the provisions for impairment are included in income from continuing operations on our consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

In comparison, for the third quarter of 2014, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $495,000 on four sold properties in the following industries: one in the convenience stores industry, two in the home improvement industry, and one in the restaurant-casual dining industry. For the first nine months of 2014, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $2.7 million on nine sold properties in the following industries: one in the consumer electronics industry, one in the convenience stores industry, one in the home furnishings industry, two in the home improvement industry, and four in the restaurant-casual dining industry. These properties were not previously classified as held for sale in financial statements issued prior to the date of adoption of ASU 2014-08; accordingly, these provisions for impairment are included in income from continuing operations on our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
