Impairments – Real Estate [Abstract] |
Impairments – Real Estate | Impairments – Real Estate: Management periodically assesses its real estate for possible impairment whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Events or circumstances that may occur include significant changes in real estate market conditions and the ability of NNN to re-lease or sell properties that are vacant or become vacant. Impairments are measured as the amount by which the current book value of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. As a result of the Company’s review of long lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, NNN recognized the following real estate impairments for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):
| 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010
Continuing operations | $ | 8,411 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Discontinued operations | 1,901 |  |  | 431 |  |  | — |
| $ | 10,312 |  |  | $ | 431 |  |  | $ | — |
The valuation of impaired assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties, which are level 3 inputs. NNN may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when measuring the fair value of its real estate.
