We review for impairment all stores for which current or projected cash flows from operations are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets. Impairment results when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life. Our estimate of undiscounted future cash flows over the store lease term is based upon our experience, historical operations of the stores, and estimates of future store profitability and economic conditions. The future estimates of store profitability and economic conditions require estimating such factors as sales growth, gross margin, employment rates, lease escala- tions, inflation on operating expenses, and the overall economics of the retail industry, and they are therefore subject to variability and difficult to predict. If a long-lived asset is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the net carrying value and the asset’s fair value.

Merchаnts аre аlways cоncerned when temperatures are extremely cоld because they claim that they have fewer shоppers the colder it gets. At Paradise Mall the merchant association did a study. The results are contained in the table below.
