−Removed: When events or changes in circumstances exist, the Company further evaluates the real estate development for impairment by a) comparing undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the real estate development to the respective carrying amount for its own real estate development or b) determining if its equity in investment has incurred an other-than-temporary decline.

The Company makes significant judgments in evaluating real estate development for possible indications of impairment.
