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.

 

For the first three months of 2015, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $2.1 million on the following properties in the restaurant-casual dining industry: one sold property, one property classified as held for sale, and one property disposed of other than by sale.  For the first three months of 2014, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $1.7 million on four sold properties in the following industries: one in the consumer electronics industry, one in the home furnishings industry, and two 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, the provisions for impairment are included in income from continuing operations on our consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
