Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Items Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The valuation methodologies used to measure these fair value adjustments are described above.

The following table summarizes the carrying value of such assets held at March 31, 2015, which were written down to fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2015:
