IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Fiscal year 2015:

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company recorded $50.7 million in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The impairment was primarily related to the write down of equipment relating to the Sensing Solutions reporting unit of $45.2 million. For background, please refer to Note 14: “Goodwill & intangible assets”. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after concluding that the undiscounted cash flows fell below the net book value of the net assets of the Sensing Solutions reporting unit (the asset group). As a result, the Company reduced the assets to their fair value after conducting an evaluation of each asset’s alternative use, the condition of the asset and the current market pricing and demand.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company recorded $10.2 million in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

This impairment was primarily related to used fabrication tools identified by the Company as obsolete in the three months ended September 27, 2014 due to the transition to newer technologies. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of alternative use, the condition of the assets and current market demand.

Fiscal year 2014:

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company recorded $5.2 million in Impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The impairment includes certain U.S. test operation assets identified as excess and no longer needed. These assets included primarily test manufacturing equipment which was recorded in Property, plant, and equipment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2014. The company also impaired fab tools and a building classified as held for sale. The fab tools were fully impaired while the building was impaired down to fair value less cost to sell. The fair value of the building was determined mainly after consideration of evidence such as broker estimates, building condition, and offers received.
