  "summary": "ASC 360-10 governs the accounting for property, plant, and equipment and, in separate \"Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets\" Subsections, the impairment testing of long-lived assets held and used and the measurement, presentation, and disclosure of long-lived assets to be disposed of. Cost (including capitalized interest) is allocated to periods through systematic and rational depreciation (360-10-35-4). A held-and-used asset group is written down only if its carrying amount fails an undiscounted cash flow recoverability test, and then only down to fair value (360-10-35-17); held-for-sale assets are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and are not depreciated (360-10-35-43).",
  "key_points": [
    "Depreciation is a systematic and rational allocation of cost less salvage over the asset's estimated useful life—a process of allocation, not valuation (360-10-35-3 through 35-4); annuity methods are unacceptable and tax ACRS lives may not be used unless within a reasonable range of useful life (360-10-35-9, 35-10).",
    "A held-and-used long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability only when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable (the six indicators in 360-10-35-21); the two-step test compares carrying amount to undiscounted expected future cash flows, and an impairment loss is measured as carrying amount less fair value (360-10-35-17).",
    "Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other assets and liabilities (360-10-35-23); the impairment loss reduces only long-lived assets, allocated pro rata on relative carrying amounts but not below an individually determinable fair value (360-10-35-28).",
    "The adjusted carrying amount after impairment becomes the new cost basis, depreciated over the remaining useful life, and restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited (360-10-35-20).",
    "Cash flow estimates cover the remaining useful life of the primary asset of the group (which cannot be land or a nonamortized intangible), exclude interest charges, include expenditures maintaining existing service potential, and exclude capital expenditures that increase service potential (360-10-35-29, 35-31 through 35-34).",
    "All six criteria in 360-10-45-9 (management commitment, available for immediate sale, active program to locate a buyer, sale probable within one year, active marketing at a reasonable price, unlikely plan changes) must be met for held-for-sale classification; such assets are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, are not depreciated, and subsequent gains are limited to cumulative losses previously recognized (360-10-35-40, 35-43).",
    "Assets to be disposed of other than by sale (abandonment, exchange at recorded amount, spinoff) remain classified as held and used until disposed of (360-10-45-15), and disclosures about impairments (360-10-50-2) and disposals, including individually significant components (360-10-50-3, 50-3A), are required."

  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "This is the workhorse impairment model for tangible long-lived assets and a classic exam trap: candidates often forget that step one uses UNDISCOUNTED cash flows (so no loss is recorded if they exceed carrying amount, even if fair value is far lower), that the loss is measured against fair value, and that impairments here can never be reversed—unlike the held-for-sale model, where subsequent recoveries can be recognized up to cumulative losses previously recognized.",

For long-lived assets disposed of or classified as held for sale, different presentation and disclosures are required depending on the nature of the disposal. If the long-lived assets are a significant component of an entity, more extensive disclosures are required. Additionally, if the component of an entity meets the definition of discontinued operation in paragraph [205-20-45-1B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-1B), an entity shall refer to Subtopic 205-20 for the presentation and disclosure requirements for discontinued operations (see the flowchart in paragraph [360-10-55-18A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-18A) for an illustration).

The guidance in the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections applies to the following transactions and activities:

1.  a
    
    Except as indicated in (b) and the following paragraph, all of the transactions and activities related to recognized long-lived assets of an entity to be held and used or to be disposed of, including:
    
    1.  1
        
        [Right-of-use assets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#right-of-use-asset "An asset that represents a lessee's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term.") of [lessees](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/l/#lessee "An entity that enters into a contract to obtain the right to use an underlying asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.")
        
    2.  2
        
        Long-lived assets of lessors subject to operating leases
        
    3.  3
        
        Proved oil and gas properties that are being accounted for using the successful-efforts method of accounting
        
    4.  4
        
        Long-term prepaid assets.
        
2.  b
    
    The following transactions and activities related to assets and liabilities that are considered part of an [asset group](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#asset-group "An asset group is the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset or assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.") or a [disposal group](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#disposal-group "A disposal group for a long-lived asset or assets to be disposed of by sale or otherwise represents assets to be disposed of together as a group in a single transaction and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction. A disposal group may include a discontinued operation along with other assets and liabilities that are not part of the discontinued operation."):
    
    1.  1
        
        If a long-lived asset (or assets) is part of a group that includes other assets and liabilities not covered by the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections, the guidance in the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections applies to the group. In those situations, the unit of accounting for the long-lived asset is its group. For a long-lived asset or assets to be held and used, that group is referred to as an asset group. For a long-lived asset or assets to be disposed of by sale or otherwise, that group is referred to as a disposal group. Examples of liabilities included in a disposal group are legal obligations that transfer with a long-lived asset, such as certain environmental obligations, and obligations that, for business reasons, a potential buyer would prefer to settle when assumed as part of a group, such as warranty obligations that relate to an acquired customer base.
        
    2.  2
        
        The guidance in the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections does not change generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to those other individual assets (such as accounts receivable and inventory) and liabilities (such as accounts payable, long-term debt, and asset retirement obligations) not covered by the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections that are included in such groups.

Paragraph [835-20-05-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/835/20/#835-20-05-1) states that the historical cost of acquiring an asset includes the costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use. As indicated in that paragraph, if an asset requires a period of time in which to carry out the activities necessary to bring it to that condition and location, the interest cost incurred during that period as a result of expenditures for the asset is a part of the historical cost of acquiring the asset.

The cost of a productive facility is one of the costs of the services it renders during its useful economic life. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require that this cost be spread over the expected useful life of the facility in such a way as to allocate it as equitably as possible to the periods during which services are obtained from the use of the facility. This procedure is known as depreciation accounting, a system of accounting which aims to distribute the cost or other basic value of tangible capital assets, less salvage (if any), over the estimated useful life of the unit (which may be a group of assets) in a systematic and rational manner. It is a process of allocation, not of valuation.

The declining-balance method is an example of one of the methods that meet the requirements of being systematic and rational. If the expected productivity of the asset or ability of the asset to generate revenue is relatively greater during the earlier years of its life, or maintenance charges tend to increase during later years, the declining-balance method may provide the most satisfactory allocation of cost. That conclusion also applies to other methods, including the sum-of-the-years'-digits method, that produce substantially similar results.

An entity acquiring an interest in the residual value of any leased asset, irrespective of the classification of the related lease by the lessor, shall not recognize increases to the asset's estimated value over the remaining term of the related lease, and the asset shall be reported at no more than its acquisition cost until sale or disposition. If it is subsequently determined that the fair value of the residual value of a leased asset has declined below the carrying amount of the acquired interest and that decline is other than temporary, the asset shall be written down to fair value, and the amount of the write-down shall be recognized as a loss. That fair value becomes the asset's new carrying amount, and the asset shall not be increased for any subsequent increase in its fair value before its sale or disposition.

An impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset ([asset group](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#asset-group "An asset group is the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset or assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.")) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability, whether in use (see paragraph [360-10-35-33](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-33)) or under development (see paragraph [360-10-35-34](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-34)).

4.  d
    
    An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group)
    
5.  e
    
    A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group)
    
6.  f
    
    A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The term _more likely than not_ refers to a level of likelihood that is more than 50 percent.

However, an impairment loss, if any, that results from applying this Subtopic shall reduce only the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or assets of the group in accordance with paragraph [360-10-35-28](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-28).

In limited circumstances, a long-lived asset (for example, a corporate headquarters facility) may not have identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and of other asset groups. In those circumstances, the asset group for that long-lived asset shall include all assets and liabilities of the entity.

In limited circumstances, an asset group will include all assets and liabilities of the entity. For example, the cost of operating assets such as corporate headquarters or centralized research facilities may be funded by revenue-producing activities at lower levels of the entity. Accordingly, in limited circumstances, the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of other asset groups may be the entity level.

Goodwill shall be included in an asset group to be tested for impairment under this Subtopic only if the asset group is or includes a reporting unit. Goodwill shall not be included in a lower-level asset group that includes only part of a reporting unit. Estimates of future cash flows used to test that lower-level asset group for recoverability shall not be adjusted for the effect of excluding goodwill from the group. The term _reporting unit_ is defined in Topic 350 as the same level as or one level below an [operating segment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/o/#operating-segment "A component of a public entity. See Section 280-10-50 for additional guidance on the definition of an operating segment."). That Topic requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level.

Estimates of future cash flows used to test the recoverability of a long-lived asset (asset group) shall incorporate the entity's own assumptions about its use of the asset (asset group) and shall consider all available evidence. The assumptions used in developing those estimates shall be reasonable in relation to the assumptions used in developing other information used by the entity for comparable periods, such as internal budgets and projections, accruals related to incentive compensation plans, or information communicated to others. However, if alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) are under consideration or if a range is estimated for the amount of possible future cash flows associated with the likely course of action, the likelihood of those possible outcomes shall be considered. A probability-weighted approach may be useful in considering the likelihood of those possible outcomes.

Estimates of future cash flows used to test the recoverability of a long-lived asset (asset group) shall be made for the remaining useful life of the asset (asset group) to the entity. The remaining useful life of an asset group shall be based on the remaining useful life of the primary asset of the group. For purposes of this Subtopic, the primary asset is the principal long-lived tangible asset being depreciated or intangible asset being amortized that is the most significant component asset from which the asset group derives its cash-flow-generating capacity. The primary asset of an asset group therefore cannot be land or an intangible asset not being amortized.

Factors that an entity generally shall consider in determining whether a long-lived asset is the primary asset of an asset group include the following:

1.  a
    
    Whether other assets of the group would have been acquired by the entity without the asset
    
2.  b
    
    The level of investment that would be required to replace the asset
    
3.  c
    
    The remaining useful life of the asset relative to other assets of the group. If the primary asset is not the asset of the group with the longest remaining useful life, estimates of future cash flows for the group shall assume the sale of the group at the end of the remaining useful life of the primary asset.

The service potential of a long-lived asset (asset group) encompasses its remaining useful life, cash-flow-generating capacity, and for tangible assets, physical output capacity. Those estimates shall include cash flows associated with future expenditures necessary to maintain the existing service potential of a long-lived asset (asset group), including those that replace the service potential of component parts of a long-lived asset (for example, the roof of a building) and component assets other than the primary asset of an asset group. Those estimates shall exclude cash flows associated with future capital expenditures that would increase the service potential of a long-lived asset (asset group).

Costs to sell are the incremental direct costs to transact a sale, that is, the costs that result directly from and are essential to a sale transaction and that would not have been incurred by the entity had the decision to sell not been made. Those costs include broker commissions, legal and title transfer fees, and closing costs that must be incurred before legal title can be transferred. Those costs exclude expected future losses associated with the operations of a long-lived asset ([disposal group](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#disposal-group "A disposal group for a long-lived asset or assets to be disposed of by sale or otherwise represents assets to be disposed of together as a group in a single transaction and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction.

A long-lived asset (disposal group) classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. If the asset (disposal group) is newly acquired, the carrying amount of the asset (disposal group) shall be established based on its fair value less cost to sell at the acquisition date. A long-lived asset shall not be depreciated (amortized) while it is classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale shall continue to be accrued.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, an entity decides not to sell a long-lived asset (disposal group) previously classified as held for sale, the asset (disposal group) shall be reclassified as held and used. A long-lived asset that is reclassified shall be measured individually at the lower of the following:

1.  a
    
    Its carrying amount before the asset (disposal group) was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset (disposal group) been continuously classified as held and used

For purposes of this Subtopic, a long-lived asset to be abandoned is disposed of when it ceases to be used. If an entity commits to a plan to abandon a long-lived asset before the end of its previously estimated useful life, depreciation estimates shall be revised in accordance with paragraphs

[250-10-45-17 through 45-20](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/250/10/#250-10-45-17)

and [250-10-50-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/250/10/#250-10-50-4) to reflect the use of the asset over its shortened useful life (see paragraph [360-10-35-22](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-22)).

Because the continued use of a long-lived asset demonstrates the presence of service potential, only in unusual situations would the fair value of a long-lived asset to be abandoned be zero while it is being used. When a long-lived asset ceases to be used, the carrying amount of the asset should equal its salvage value, if any. The salvage value of the asset shall not be reduced to an amount less than zero.

A long-lived asset (disposal group) to be sold shall be classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

1.  a
    
    Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group).
    
2.  b
    
    The asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (disposal groups). (See Examples 5 through 7 \[paragraphs
    
    [360-10-55-37 through 55-41](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-37)
    
    \], which illustrate when that criterion would be met.)
    
3.  c
    
    An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been initiated.
    
4.  d
    
    The sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year, except as permitted by paragraph [360-10-45-11](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-11). (See Example 8 \[paragraph [360-10-55-43](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-43)\], which illustrates when that criterion would be met.) The term [probable](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#probable "The future event or events are likely to occur.") refers to a future sale that is likely to occur.
    
5.  e
    
    The asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. The price at which a long-lived asset (disposal group) is being marketed is indicative of whether the entity currently has the intent and ability to sell the asset (disposal group). A market price that is reasonable in relation to fair value indicates that the asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale, whereas a market price in excess of fair value indicates that the asset (disposal group) is not available for immediate sale.
    
6.  f
    
    Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Events or circumstances beyond an entity's control may extend the period required to complete the sale of a long-lived asset (disposal group) beyond one year. An exception to the one-year requirement in paragraph [360-10-45-9(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) shall apply in the following situations in which such events or circumstances arise:

1.  a
    
    If at the date an entity commits to a plan to sell a long-lived asset (disposal group) the entity reasonably expects that others (not a buyer) will impose conditions on the transfer of the asset (group) that will extend the period required to complete the sale and both of the following conditions are met:
    
    1.  1
        
        Actions necessary to respond to those conditions cannot be initiated until after a [firm purchase commitment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#firm-purchase-commitment "A firm purchase commitment is an agreement with an unrelated party, binding on both parties and usually legally enforceable, that meets both of the following conditions: It specifies all significant terms, including the price and timing of the transaction. It includes a disincentive for nonperformance that is sufficiently large to make performance probable.") is obtained.
        
    2.  2
        
        A firm purchase commitment is probable within one year. (See Example 9 \[paragraph [360-10-55-44](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-44)\], which illustrates that situation.)
        
2.  b
    
    If an entity obtains a firm purchase commitment and, as a result, a buyer or others unexpectedly impose conditions on the transfer of a long-lived asset (disposal group) previously classified as held for sale that will extend the period required to complete the sale and both of the following conditions are met:
    
    1.  1
        
        Actions necessary to respond to the conditions have been or will be timely initiated.
        
    2.  2
        
        A favorable resolution of the delaying factors is expected. (See Example 10 \[paragraph [360-10-55-46](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-46)\], which illustrates that situation.)
        
3.  c
    
    If during the initial one-year period, circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, a long-lived asset (disposal group) previously classified as held for sale is not sold by the end of that period and all of the following conditions are met:
    
    1.  1
        
        During the initial one-year period the entity initiated actions necessary to respond to the change in circumstances.
        
    2.  2
        
        The asset (group) is being actively marketed at a price that is reasonable given the change in circumstances.
        
    3.  3
        
        The criteria in paragraph [360-10-45-9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) are met. (See Example 11 \[paragraph [360-10-55-48](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-48)\], which illustrates that situation.)

If the criteria in paragraph [360-10-45-9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) are met after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), a long-lived asset shall continue to be classified as held and used in those financial statements when issued or when available to be issued. In addition, information required by paragraph [205-20-50-1(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-50-1) shall be disclosed in the notes to financial statements. If the asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability (on a held-and-used basis) as of the balance sheet date, the estimates of future cash flows used in that test shall consider the likelihood of possible outcomes that existed at the balance sheet date, including the assessment of the likelihood of the future sale of the asset. That assessment made as of the balance sheet date shall not be revised for a decision to sell the asset after the balance sheet date. Because it is difficult to separate the benefit of hindsight when assessing conditions that existed at a prior date, it is important that judgments about those conditions, the need to test an asset for recoverability, and the application of a recoverability test be made and documented together with supporting evidence on a timely basis. An impairment loss, if any, to be recognized shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value at the balance sheet date.

For certain assets covered by this Subtopic, costs for future site restoration or closure (environmental exit costs) may be incurred if the asset is sold, is abandoned, or ceases operations. Environmental exit costs within the scope of this Subsection include:

1.  a
    
    Asset retirement costs recognized pursuant to Subtopic 410-20
    
2.  b
    
    Asset retirement costs that have not been recognized because the obligation has not been incurred

For environmental exit costs that have not been recognized as a liability for accounting purposes, whether those environmental exit costs shall be included in the undiscounted expected future cash flows used to test a long-lived asset for recoverability under this Subtopic depends on management's intent with respect to the asset. Pursuant to this Subtopic, if management's intent contemplates alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of the asset or if a range is estimated for the amount of possible future cash flows, the likelihood of those possible outcomes shall be considered. Examples of management's intent and the corresponding treatment of the environmental exit costs in this Subtopic's recoverability test are described below. (Environmental remediation costs discussed in certain of these cases refer to environmental remediation costs that have not yet been recognized as a liability pursuant to Subtopic 410-30.) This paragraph illustrates the guidance in paragraphs

Management intends to operate the asset for at least the asset's remaining depreciable life, the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the asset's use during that period exceeds the asset's carrying amount including any associated goodwill, and management has no reason to believe that the asset's eventual disposition will result in a net cash outflow.

Management expects to operate the asset indefinitely and has the ability to do so, the asset is generating positive cash flows, management's best information indicates that the asset will continue to be profitable in the future, and there are no known constraints to the asset's economic life. This Subtopic's recoverability test shall include the future cash outflows for repairs, maintenance, and capital expenditures necessary to obtain the future cash inflows expected to be generated by the asset based on its existing service potential.

The asset has a finite economic life, but environmental remediation costs will only be incurred if the asset is sold or abandoned. At the end of the asset's life, management intends either to close the asset permanently because the costs of remediating the asset exceed the proceeds that likely would be received if the asset were sold or, alternatively, to idle the asset by reducing production to a minimal or nominal amount. (Although the environmental remediation costs are excluded from this Subtopic's recoverability test, the recoverability test shall incorporate the entity's own assumptions about its use of the asset. That is, the recoverability test shall consider the likelihood of the alternative courses of action \[either closing or idling the asset\] and the resulting cash flows associated with those alternative courses.)

Management expects to sell the asset in the future, and the asset's sale will not require the environmental remediation costs to be incurred. (Although the environmental remediation costs are excluded from this Subtopic's recoverability test, the fair value of the asset is likely to be affected by the existence of those costs. The diminished fair value shall be considered in estimating the cash flows expected to arise from the eventual sale of the asset.)

Management expects to take a future action related to the asset that may cause the environmental remediation costs to be incurred. However, uncertainties or inconsistencies exist in how the related laws or regulatory requirements are applied. Management estimates, based on the weight of the available evidence, a 60 percent chance that the remediation costs will not be incurred and a 40 percent chance that those costs will be incurred. Pursuant to this Subtopic, other situations may exist in which cash flows are estimated using a single set or best estimate of cash flows.

The asset has a current period cash flow loss from operations combined with a projection or forecast that anticipates continuing losses. Management expects the asset to achieve profitability in the future but uncertainty exists about management's ability to fund the future cash outflows up to the time that net cash inflows are expected from the asset's use.

An entity owns a manufacturing facility that together with other assets is tested for recoverability as a group. In addition to long-lived assets (Assets A-D), the asset group includes inventory measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO), which is reported at the lower of cost and [net realizable value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-realizable-value "Estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.") in accordance with Topic 330, and other current assets and liabilities that are not covered by this Subtopic. The $2.75 million aggregate carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value by $600,000. In accordance with paragraph [360-10-35-28](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-28), the impairment loss of $600,000 would be allocated as shown below to the long-lived assets of the group.

If the fair value of an individual long-lived asset of an asset group is determinable without undue cost and effort and exceeds the adjusted carrying amount of that asset after an impairment loss is allocated initially, the excess impairment loss initially allocated to that asset would be reallocated to the other long-lived assets of the group. For example, if the fair value of Asset C is $822,000, the excess impairment loss of $100,000 initially allocated to that asset (based on its adjusted carrying amount of $722,000) would be reallocated as shown below to the other long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative adjusted carrying amounts of those assets.

As of December 31, 20X2, a manufacturing facility with a carrying amount of $48 million is tested for recoverability. At that date, 2 courses of action to recover the carrying amount of the facility are under consideration—sell in 2 years or sell in 10 years (at the end of its remaining useful life).

The possible cash flows associated with each of those courses of action are $41 million and $48.7 million, respectively. They are developed based on entity-specific assumptions about future sales (volume and price) and costs in varying scenarios that consider the likelihood that existing customer relationships will continue, changes in economic (market) conditions, and other relevant factors.

The alternatives of whether to sell or use an asset are not necessarily independent of each other. In many situations, after estimating the possible future cash flows relating to those potential courses of action, an entity might select the course of action that results in a significantly higher estimate of possible future cash flows. In that situation, the entity generally would use the estimates of possible future cash flows relating only to that course of action in computing future cash flows. As shown, the expected cash flows are $44.1 million (undiscounted). Therefore, the carrying amount of the facility of $48 million would not be recoverable.

The following table shows the computation of the expected present value; that is, the sum of the present values of the expected cash flows by year, each discounted at a risk-free interest rate determined from the yield curve for U.S. Treasury instruments. In this Case, a market risk premium is included in the expected cash flows; that is, the cash flows are certainty equivalent cash flows. As shown, the expected present value is $42.3 million, which is less than the carrying amount of $48 million. In accordance with paragraph [360-10-35-17](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-17) the entity would recognize an impairment loss of $5.7 million.

An entity engaged in mining and selling phosphate estimates future cash flows from its commercially minable phosphate deposits in order to test the recoverability of the asset group that includes the mine and related long-lived assets (plant and equipment). Deposits from the mined rock must be processed in order to extract the phosphate. As the active mining area expands along the geological structure of the mine, a new processing plant is constructed near the production area. Depending on the size of the mine, extracting the minable deposits may require building numerous processing plants over the life of the mine. In testing the recoverability of the mine and related long-lived assets, the estimates of future cash flows from its commercially minable phosphate deposits would include cash flows associated with future expenditures necessary to build all of the required processing plants.

Varying facts and circumstances will inevitably justify different groupings of assets for impairment review. While grouping at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows for recognition and measurement of an impairment loss is understood, determining that lowest level requires considerable judgment.

. In this Example, an entity operates a bus entity that provides service under contract with a municipality that requires minimum service on each of five separate routes. Assets devoted to serving each route and the cash flows from each route are discrete. One of the routes operates at a significant deficit that results in the inability to recover the carrying amounts of the dedicated assets. The five bus routes would be an appropriate level at which to group assets to test for and measure impairment because the entity does not have the option to curtail any one bus route.

An entity commits to a plan to sell its headquarters building and has initiated actions to locate a buyer. The following illustrate situations in which the criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would or would not be met:

1.  a
    
    The entity intends to transfer the building to a buyer after it vacates the building. The time necessary to vacate the building is usual and customary for sales of such assets. The criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would be met at the plan commitment date.
    
2.  b
    
    The entity will continue to use the building until construction of a new headquarters building is completed. The entity does not intend to transfer the existing building to a buyer until after construction of the new building is completed (and it vacates the existing building). The delay in the timing of the transfer of the existing building imposed by the entity (seller) demonstrates that the building is not available for immediate sale. The criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would not be met until construction of the new building is completed, even if a [firm purchase commitment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#firm-purchase-commitment "A firm purchase commitment is an agreement with an unrelated party, binding on both parties and usually legally enforceable, that meets both of the following conditions: It specifies all significant terms, including the price and timing of the transaction.

An entity commits to a plan to sell a manufacturing facility and has initiated actions to locate a buyer. At the plan commitment date, there is a backlog of uncompleted customer orders. The following illustrate situations in which the criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would or would not be met:

1.  a
    
    The entity intends to sell the manufacturing facility with its operations. Any uncompleted customer orders at the sale date would transfer to the buyer. The transfer of uncompleted customer orders at the sale date will not affect the timing of the transfer of the facility. The criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would be met at the plan commitment date.
    
2.  b
    
    The entity intends to sell the manufacturing facility, but without its operations. The entity does not intend to transfer the facility to a buyer until after it ceases all operations of the facility and eliminates the backlog of uncompleted customer orders. The delay in the timing of the transfer of the facility imposed by the entity (seller) demonstrates that the facility is not available for immediate sale. The criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would not be met until the operations of the facility cease, even if a firm purchase commitment for the future transfer of the facility is obtained earlier.

An entity acquires through foreclosure a real estate property that it intends to sell. The following illustrate situations in which the criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would not be met:

1.  a
    
    The entity does not intend to transfer the property to a buyer until after it completes renovations to increase its sales value. The delay in the timing of the transfer of the property imposed by the entity (seller) demonstrates that the property is not available for immediate sale. The criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would not be met until the renovations are completed.
    
2.  b
    
    After the renovations are completed and the property is classified as held for sale but before a firm purchase commitment is obtained, the entity becomes aware of environmental damage requiring remediation. The entity still intends to sell the property. However, the entity does not have the ability to transfer the property to a buyer until after the remediation is completed. The delay in the timing of the transfer of the property imposed by others before a firm purchase commitment is obtained demonstrates that the property is not available for immediate sale. The criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would not continue to be met. The property would be reclassified as held and used in accordance with paragraph [360-10-45-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-7).

This Example illustrates the classification as held for sale of a long-lived asset (disposal group) in accordance with the criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9). The following illustrates situations in which that criterion would not be met:

1.  a
    
    An entity that is a commercial leasing and finance company is holding for sale or lease equipment that has recently come off lease and the ultimate form of a future transaction (sale or lease) has not yet been determined.
    
2.  b
    
    An entity commits to a plan to sell an asset that is in use and lease back that asset; however, the transfer of the asset will not be accounted for as a sale and leaseback transaction because the buyer-lessor does not obtain control of the asset based on the guidance in paragraphs
    
    [842-40-25-1 through 25-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/842/40/#842-40-25-1)
    
    . The asset would continue to be classified as held and used following the appropriate guidance in Sections 360-10-35, 360-10-45, and 360-10-50.

An entity in the utility industry commits to a plan to sell a disposal group that represents a significant portion of its regulated operations. The sale will require regulatory approval, which could extend the period required to complete the sale beyond one year. Actions necessary to obtain that approval cannot be initiated until after a buyer is known and a firm purchase commitment is obtained. However, a firm purchase commitment is probable within one year. In that situation, the conditions in paragraph [360-10-45-11(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-11) for an exception to the one-year requirement in paragraph [360-10-45-9(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would be met.

An entity commits to a plan to sell a manufacturing facility in its present condition and classifies the facility as held for sale at that date. After a firm purchase commitment is obtained, the buyer's inspection of the property identifies environmental damage not previously known to exist. The entity is required by the buyer to remediate the damage, which will extend the period required to complete the sale beyond one year. However, the entity has initiated actions to remediate the damage, and satisfactory remediation of the damage is probable.

An entity commits to a plan to sell a long-lived asset and classifies the asset as held for sale at that date. The following illustrates situations in which the conditions for an exception to the criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would or would not be met:

1.  a
    
    During the initial one-year period, the market conditions that existed at the date the asset was classified initially as held for sale deteriorate and, as a result, the asset is not sold by the end of that period. During that period, the entity actively solicited but did not receive any reasonable offers to purchase the asset and, in response, reduced the price. The asset continues to be actively marketed at a price that is reasonable given the change in market conditions, and the criteria in paragraph [360-10-45-9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) are met. In that situation, the conditions in paragraph [360-10-45-11(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-11) for an exception to the one-year requirement in paragraph [360-10-45-9(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would be met. At the end of the initial one-year period, the asset would continue to be classified as held for sale.
    
2.  b
    
    During the following one-year period, market conditions deteriorate further, and the asset is not sold by the end of that period. The entity believes that the market conditions will improve and has not further reduced the price of the asset. The asset continues to be held for sale, but at a price in excess of its current fair value. In that situation, the absence of a price reduction demonstrates that the asset is not available for immediate sale as required by the criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9). In addition, the criterion in paragraph [360-10-45-9(e)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) requires that an asset be marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. Therefore, the conditions in paragraph [360-10-45-11(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-11) for an exception to the one-year requirement in paragraph [360-10-45-9(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-9) would not be met. The asset would be reclassified as held and used in accordance with paragraph [360-10-35-44](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-44).

Offshore Industries is a manufacturer of offshore drilling rigs and platforms. The entity's manufacturing process requires significant specialized equipment, which it currently owns. As a result of a decline in the price of oil, the demand for its products and services has fallen dramatically in the past two years, resulting in a significant underutilization of its manufacturing capacity.

The entity depreciates its investments in specialized equipment based on its original estimate of the remaining useful lives of the equipment using the units-of-production method, since it believes that the exhaustion of usefulness of these specialized assets relates more to their use than to the passage of time. The entity reevaluates these estimates in light of current conditions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The entity also monitors the policies of its major competitors and is aware that several have reported large write-downs of similar assets. Nevertheless, while the entity believes that it is at least reasonably possible that its estimate that it will recover the carrying amount of those assets from future operations will change during the next year, it believes it is more likely that conditions in the industry will improve and that no write-down for impairment will be necessary.

The entity would make the following disclosure:

-   Offshore's policy is to depreciate specialized manufacturing equipment (with a net book value of $25 million at December 31, 19X7) over its remaining useful life using the units-of-production method and to evaluate the remaining life and recoverability of such equipment in light of current conditions. \[Given the excess capacity in the industry,\] it is reasonably possible that the entity's estimate that it will recover the carrying amount of this equipment from future operations will change in the near term.

In this Example, the entity acknowledges that the carrying amount of the specialized assets is subject to significant uncertainty based on current conditions. The uncertainty relates to the measurement of the specialized assets at the date of the financial statements, and the entity's disclosure makes clear that it is at least reasonably possible that the carrying amount will change in the near term.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 5.B, Gain or Loss from Disposition of Equipment.

-   Facts: Company A has adopted the policy of treating gains and losses from disposition of revenue producing equipment as adjustments to the current year's provision for depreciation. Company B reflects such gains and losses as a separate item in the statement of income.
    
-   Question: Does the staff have any views as to which method is preferable?
    
-   Interpretive Response: Gains and losses resulting from the disposition of revenue producing equipment should not be treated as adjustments to the provision for depreciation in the year of disposition, but should be shown as a separate item in the statement of income.
    
-   If such equipment is depreciated on the basis of group of composite accounts for fleets of like vehicles, gains (or losses) may be charged (or credited) to accumulated depreciation with the result that depreciation is adjusted over a period of years on an average basis. It should be noted that the latter treatment would not be appropriate for (1) an enterprise (such as an airline) which replaces its fleet on an episodic rather than a continuing basis or (2) an enterprise (such as a car leasing company) where equipment is sold after limited use so that the equipment on hand is both fairly new and carried at amounts closely related to current acquisition cost.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 5.CC, Impairments.

-   Standards for recognizing and measuring impairment of the carrying amount of long-lived assets including certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used in operations are found in FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Standards for recognizing and measuring impairment of the carrying amount of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that are not currently being amortized are found in FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.
    
-   Facts: Company X has mainframe computers that are to be abandoned in six to nine months as replacement computers are put in place. The mainframe computers were placed in service in January 20X0 and were being depreciated on a straight-line basis over seven years. No salvage value had been projected at the end of seven years and the original cost of the computers was $8,400. The board of directors, with the appropriate authority, approved the abandonment of the computers in March 20X3 when the computers had a remaining carrying value of $4,600. No proceeds are expected upon abandonment. Abandonment cannot occur prior to the receipt and installation of replacement computers, which is expected prior to the end of 20X3. Management had begun reevaluating its mainframe computer capabilities in January 20X2 and had included in its 20X3 capital expenditures budget an estimated amount for new mainframe computers. The 20X3 capital expenditures budget had been prepared by management in August 20X2, had been discussed with the company's board of directors in September 20X2 and was formally approved by the board of directors in March 20X3. Management had also begun soliciting bids for new mainframe computers beginning in the fall of 20X2. The mainframe computers, when grouped with assets at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, were not impaired on a "held and used" basis throughout this time period. Management had not adjusted the original estimated useful life of the computers (seven years) since 20X0.
    
-   Question 1: Company X proposes to recognize an impairment charge under FASB ASC Topic 360 for the carrying value of the mainframe computers of $4,600 in March 20X3. Does Company X meet the requirements in FASB ASC Topic 360 to classify the mainframe computer assets as "to be abandoned?"
    
-   Interpretive Response: No. FASB ASC paragraph [360-10-35-47](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-47) provides that "a long-lived asset to be abandoned is disposed of when it ceases to be used. If an entity commits to a plan to abandon a long-lived asset before the end of its previously estimated useful life, depreciation estimates shall be revised in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, to reflect the use of the asset over its shortened useful life."
    
-   Question 2: Would the staff accept an adjustment to write down the carrying value of the computers to reflect a "normalized depreciation" rate for the period from March 20X3 through actual abandonment (e. g., December 20X3)? Normalized depreciation would represent the amount of depreciation otherwise expected to be recognized during that period without adjustment of the asset's useful life, or $1,000 ($100/month for ten months) in the example fact pattern.
    
-   Interpretive Response: No. The mainframe computers would be viewed as "held and used" at March 20X3 under the fact pattern described. There is no basis under FASB ASC Topic 360 to write down an asset to an amount that would subsequently result in a "normalized depreciation" charge through the disposal date, whether disposal is to be by sale, abandonment, or other means. FASB ASC paragraph [360-10-35-43](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-43) requires the asset to be valued at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell in order to be classified as "held for sale." For assets that are classified as "held and used" under FASB ASC Topic 360, an assessment must first be made as to whether the asset (asset group) is impaired. FASB ASC paragraph [360-10-35-17](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-17) indicates that an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). The staff would object to a write down of long-lived assets to a "normalized depreciation" value as representing an acceptable alternative to the approaches required in FASB ASC Topic 360.
    
-   The staff also believes that registrants must continually evaluate the appropriateness of useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. In the above fact pattern, management had contemplated removal of the mainframe computers beginning in January 20X2 and, more formally, in August 20X2 as part of compiling the 20X3 capital expenditures budget. At those times, at a minimum, management should have reevaluated the original useful life assigned to the computers to determine whether a seven year amortization period remained appropriate given the company's current facts and circumstances, including ongoing technological changes in the market place. This reevaluation process should have continued at the time of the September 20X2 board of directors' meeting to discuss capital expenditure plans and, further, as the company pursued mainframe computer bids. Given the contemporaneous evidence that management's best estimate during much of 20X2 was that the current mainframe computers would be removed from service in 20X3, the depreciable life of the computers should have been adjusted prior to 20X3 to reflect this new estimate. The staff does not view the recognition of an impairment charge to be an acceptable substitute for choosing the appropriate initial amortization or depreciation period or subsequently adjusting this period as company or industry conditions change. The staff's view applies also to selection of, and changes to, estimated residual values. Consequently, the staff may challenge impairment charges for which the timely evaluation of useful life and residual value cannot be demonstrated.
    
-   Question 3: Has the staff expressed any views with respect to company-determined estimates of cash flows used for assessing and measuring impairment of assets under FASB ASC Topic 360?
    
-   Interpretive Response: In providing guidance on the development of cash flows for purposes of applying the provisions of that Topic, FASB ASC paragraph [360-10-35-30](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-35-30) indicates that "estimates of future cash flows used to test the recoverability of a long-lived asset (asset group) shall incorporate the entity's own assumptions about its use of the asset (asset group) and shall consider all available evidence. The assumptions used in developing those estimates shall be reasonable in relation to the assumptions used in developing other information used by the entity for comparable periods, such as internal budgets and projections, accruals related to incentive compensation plans, or information communicated to others."
    
-   The staff recognizes that various factors, including management's judgments and assumptions about the business plans and strategies, affect the development of future cash flow projections for purposes of applying FASB ASC Topic 360. The staff, however, cautions registrants that the judgments and assumptions made for purposes of applying FASB ASC Topic 360 must be consistent with other financial statement calculations and disclosures and disclosures in MD&A. The staff also expects that forecasts made for purposes of applying FASB ASC Topic 360 be consistent with other forward-looking information prepared by the company, such as that used for internal budgets, incentive compensation plans, discussions with lenders or third parties, and/or reporting to management or the board of directors.
    
-   For example, the staff has reviewed a fact pattern where a registrant developed cash flow projections for purposes of applying the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 360 using one set of assumptions and utilized a second, more conservative set of assumptions for purposes of determining whether deferred tax valuation allowances were necessary when applying the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. In this case, the staff objected to the use of inconsistent assumptions.
    
-   In addition to disclosure of key assumptions used in the development of cash flow projections, the staff also has required discussion in MD&A of the implications of assumptions. For example, do the projections indicate that a company is likely to violate debt covenants in the future? What are the ramifications to the cash flow projections used in the impairment analysis? If growth rates used in the impairment analysis are lower than those used by outside analysts, has the company had discussions with the analysts regarding their overly optimistic projections? Has the company appropriately informed the market and its shareholders of its reduced expectations for the future that are sufficient to cause an impairment charge? The staff believes that cash flow projections used in the impairment analysis must be both internally consistent with the company's other projections and externally consistent with financial statement and other public disclosures.
