NOTE 15.    Impairments

In June 2015, the Company determined that the Four Seasons Notes (see Note 10) were other-than-temporarily impaired.  Although the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe it will be required to sell the Four Seasons Notes before their maturity, the Company determined that a credit loss existed resulting from significant deterioration in Four Seasons’ operating performance since the fourth quarter of 2014. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the three months ended June 30, 2015 of $42 million, reducing the carrying value of the Four Seasons Notes to $174 million (£111 million). The fair value was based on quoted prices; however as the Four Seasons Notes are not actively traded, these prices were considered to be Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. In determining whether a credit loss existed and calculating the fair value, the Company also evaluated Four Season’s ability to repay the Four Seasons Notes according to their contractual terms based on its estimate of future cash flows which inputs included forecasted revenues, capital expenditures, operating expenses, care home occupancy and continued implementation of Four Seasons’ business plan which includes executing on its business line segmentation and continuing to invest in its core portfolio, which information was consistent with the results of the valuation technique used by the Company in determining whether a credit loss existed and calculating the fair value of the Four Seasons Notes.

 

In June 2015, the Company determined a MOB was impaired and recognized an impairment charge of $3 million, which reduced the carrying value of the Company’s investment to $400,000. The fair value of the MOB was based on its projected sales prices, which was considered to be a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. 

 

In March 2015, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $478 million related to its DFL investments with HCRMC (see Note 6).
