+Added: If such a decline is identified, and it is likely that an investment’s fair value may have declined below its carrying value, management performs a quantitative assessment to determine if an impairment exists.
+Added: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment for certain equity method investments in affiliates is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in assessing whether there were certain qualitative and quantitative factors indicating an increased likelihood of a decline in the fair value of certain equity method investments in affiliates, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management’s assessment of indicators of impairment related to the discount rate assumptions, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Each operating agreement reflects the specific terms of the Company’s economic participation in the Affiliate, which, in each case, uses a “structured partnership interest.”
−Removed: For a majority of Affiliates, the Company uses structured partnership interests in which the Company contractually shares in the Affiliate’s revenue without regard to expenses.
