+Added: Judgment applied when performing the qualitative analysis includes consideration of macroeconomic, industry and market conditions,

+Added: of Long-Lived Assets
+Added: long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, we continually monitor events and changes
+Added: in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable.
+Added: When such events or changes in circumstances
+Added: are present, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered
+Added: through undiscounted expected future cash flows.
+Added: If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets,
+Added: we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
+Added: Assets to be disposed of
