13.   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 second quarter of 2014 we recorded total provisions for impairment of $499,000 on two properties classified as held for sale in the following industries: one in the home improvement industry and one in the restaurant-casual dining industry. For the first six months of 2014, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $2.2 million on three 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 home improvement industry, and three 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 six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

In comparison, for the second quarter of 2013, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $2.5 million on one sold property and two properties classified as held for sale in the following industries: one in the automotive service industry, one in the grocery store industry, and one in our other industry. For the first six months of 2013, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $3.0 million on seven sold properties and two properties 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, one in the restaurant-casual dining industry, and one in our other 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 six months ended June 30, 2013.
