Impairment Loss  
Note 20. IMPAIRMENT LOSS (In Thousands)

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to property, plant and equipment, investment in property, and other intangible assets. ASC Topic 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.  Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

The Company performed an assessment of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment balance during the preparation of the Form 10-K report for fiscal year 2012, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment – Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment or Long Lived Assets. Due to the fact that the  fabrication segment in Indonesia was not able to secure sizable future contracts, management expects very little future cash flow from the assets in this segment. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $216 on these assets based on its examination of future undiscounted cash flows.

 

In fiscal 2011, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $72 for the intangible asset, Welder Performance Qualification Test (“WPQT”) for the fabrication services segment in the Indonesia operations. WPQT is related to a qualification required for certain fabrication jobs. With the new project secured in June 2011, the operation management team assessed the existing WPQT during the fourth quarter when the new projects were received and, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, and concluded that WPQT is not the most up-to-date qualification that meets the requirement of the new project and no future cash flow will be generated by this intangible asset.  Accordingly, WPQT was fully impaired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
