7: Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

In 2017, the Company initiated a strategic shift whereby it plans to divest of its remaining suburban office properties. The Company determined that the strategic shift would have a major effect on its operations and financial results. As such, properties sold or those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale within the new corporate strategy were classified within discontinued operations. Consistent with the held for sale criteria these properties are expected to be sold within one year. As the result of the classification within discontinued operations, the in-service assets and liabilities of this portfolio are required to be presented as held for sale for all prior periods presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating results pertaining to these properties were reclassified to discontinued operations for all prior periods presented in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The following table illustrates the number of sold or held for sale properties included in, or excluded from, discontinued operations:



	Held for Sale as of June 30, 2018	Sold during the six months ended June 30, 2018	Sold during the year ended December 31, 2017	Total
Properties included in discontinued operations	14	23	2	39
Properties included in continuing operations	1	2	8	11
Properties sold or classified as held for sale	15	25	10	50

The properties held for sale with operating results in discontinued operations as of June 30, 2018 were located in the following reportable segments: Eight properties in Southeastern PA, five properties in Arizona and one property in DC Metro.

Impairment Charges - Real Estate Assets

The Company recorded $26.0 million of impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and no impairment charges for the same periods 2017. These charges were related to the Camden Waterfront project located in Camden, New Jersey and reported in the Company's Philadelphia reportable segment. We continually evaluate under generally accepted accounting principles the recoverability of the carrying value of our total investment in the Camden Waterfront project. Factors considered in evaluating the carrying value of this project include probability weighted projections of future cash flows, which are influenced by management’s judgments regarding the site configuration, absorption rates and timing of future fee development projects, the amount, timing and sunset provisions of government incentives aimed at inducing office users to relocate to Camden, and general market conditions affecting demand for office space in Camden. As a result of changes to management’s estimates of probability weighted future cash flow impacted by the above-described factors during the second quarter of 2018, the Company has concluded that an indicator of impairment exists and the Company may not recover the carrying value of its investment in the Camden Waterfront project. As such, the Company has recorded the impairment charge. The impairment charge is equal to the amount by which we estimate the carrying value of our total investment in the Camden Waterfront project exceeds the current estimated fair value of our investment.

The Company determined this impairment based on quoted offer prices on comparable properties which is a Level 3 fair value calculation.

The Company has applied reasonable estimates and judgments in evaluating each of its properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments necessary at June 30, 2018. Should external or internal circumstances change requiring the need to shorten the holding periods or adjust the estimated future cash flows of the Company’s assets, the Company could be required to record additional impairment charges in the future.
