14.   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 estimate in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, 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 2014 we recorded total provisions for impairment of $495,000 on one sold property and three properties classified as held for sale in the following industries: two in the home improvement industry, one in the convenience stores 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 six sold properties and three properties classified as held for sale in the following industries: one in the consumer electronics industry, one in the home furnishings industry, one in the convenience stores 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.

 

In comparison, for the third quarter of 2013, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $76,000 on one sold property in the restaurants-casual dining industry. For the first nine months of 2013, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $3.0 million on eight sold properties and one property classified as held for sale in the following industries: one in the automotive parts industry, two in the automotive service industry, two in the child care industry, one in the grocery store industry, one in the pet supplies and services industry, and two in the restaurant-casual dining industry. Except for a provision for impairment of $290,000 that was recorded in income from continuing operations for one property not previously classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013, the remaining provisions for impairment are included in income from discontinued operations on our consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
