Write-Downs of Long-Lived Assets
13. Write-Downs of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10 (“Property, Plant, and Equipment—Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”), the Company and its subsidiaries perform tests for recoverability on assets for which events or changes in circumstances indicated that the assets might be impaired. The Company and its subsidiaries consider an asset’s carrying amount as not recoverable when such carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The net carrying amount of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value if lower than the carrying amount. We determine the fair value using appraisals prepared by independent third party appraisers or our own staff of qualified appraisers based on recent transactions involving sales of similar assets or other valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows methodologies using future cash flows estimated to be generated from operation of the existing assets or completion of development projects, as appropriate.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, the Company and certain subsidiaries recognized impairment losses for the difference between carrying amounts and fair values in the amount of ¥6,384 million and ¥15,531 million, respectively, which are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets and income from discontinued operations. Of these amounts, ¥4,719 million and ¥11,482 million are reflected as write-downs of long-lived assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
