[1] During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that certain indicators of impairment were present with regard to certain non-core Steel Processing assets. Recoverability of the identified asset group was tested using future cash flow projections based on management's estimate of market conditions. The sum of these undiscounted future cash flows was less than the net book value of the asset group. The net book value was also determined to be in excess of fair value and, accordingly, the asset group was written down to its fair value of $11,827,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,641,000. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.
[2] During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we committed to a re-branding initiative. Under the re-branding initiative, we will re-brand substantially all of our businesses under the Worthington Industries name. In connection with the change in branding strategy, we plan to discontinue the use of all non-Worthington trade names except those related to products such as BernzOmatic® and Balloon Time® and those related to our joint ventures. As no future cash flows will be attributed to the impacted trade names, the entire book value was written-off, resulting in an impairment charge of $30,734,000. Fair value was determined using unobservable (Level 3) inputs.
[3] During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the long-lived assets of our 60%-owned consolidated joint venture in India, WNCL, were written down to their fair value of $6,856,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,968,000. This impairment loss was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. The portion of this impairment loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, or $1,987,000, is recorded within net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.
