Included in the Property, Plant and Equipment tables above are the long-lived assets related to the Company’s uranium business, which are reported in discontinued operations (see Note 8).

Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. As discussed in Note 8, the Company has entered into a binding LOI to sell its uranium business. The proposed terms of the transaction are an indicator of impairment of the Company’s long-lived uranium property, plant and equipment. For purposes of determining the amount of impairment, the Company has estimated that a loss in the amount of $5.2 million will be recorded upon closing of the proposed transaction using the September 30, 2020 carrying values of the uranium assets and liabilities included in the transaction plus estimated costs to close the transaction.

As discussed in Note 8, at September 30, 2020, property, plant and equipment related to the Company’s U.S. uranium business in Texas and New Mexico, net of the $5.2 million impairment charge, have been reclassified to Held for Sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Balances for prior year periods have also been reclassified. The $5.2 million impairment charge is included in discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period ended September 30, 2020.
