NOTE 9.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of long-lived assets required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, executed purchase and sale agreements on specific properties, third party valuations, discounted cash flow models, and other model-based techniques.

During the first quarter of 2015, an impairment charge of approximately $510,000 was recognized on two income properties held for sale as of March 31, 2015, for which the sale closed on April 17, 2015. The total impairment charge represented the loss on the sale of approximately $277,000 plus estimated closing costs of approximately $233,000. As the actual loss on the sale was approximately $497,000, an adjustment to reduce that charge in the amount of approximately $13,000 was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, an impairment charge of approximately $421,000 was recognized on an income property sold during October 2014. The total impairment charge, which was recognized during the third quarter of 2014, represents the loss on the sale of approximately $228,000 plus estimated closing costs of approximately $193,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $616,000 on approximately 6.23 acres which was based on the contract price in a transaction that had been executed during that period for approximately 3.21 acres of the total 6.23 acres assessed for impairment. That transaction was terminated prior to closing, however, on December 20, 2013, the Company sold the approximately 6.23 acres to CarMax Auto Super Stores, Inc. for $1.05 million, or approximately $168,500 per acre. The basis in these acres was higher than is typical for the Company’s land holdings as this land had been reacquired through foreclosure in 2009.
