These circumstances or events could include a decline in the market value or physical condition of a long-lived asset, an adverse change in the manner in which long-lived assets are used or planned to be used, a change in historical trends, operating cash flows associated with the long-lived assets, changes in macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, or overall financial performance. When these circumstances or events occur, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of those assets is less than their carrying amount. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not (that is, the likelihood of more than 50 percent), the Company would recognize an impairment charge if it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted estimated cash flows. In this circumstance, the Company would recognize an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Fair value is estimated to be the </span><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif';font-size: 11pt;line-height: 108%;margin-bottom: 0;margin-left: 0;margin-right: 0;margin-top: 0;"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif';font-size: 11pt;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;margin: 0;padding: 0;">present value of future net cash flows associated with the asset, discounted using a discount rate commensurate with the risk and remaining life of the asset.

The Company’s review determines whether there have been changes in circumstances or events, such as regulatory disallowances, or abandonments, that have occurred that require adjustments to the carrying value of these assets. Adjustments to the carrying value of these assets would be made in instances where their inclusion in the rate-making process is unlikely. For utility plant in service, we would recognize an impairment loss for any amount disallowed by the respective utility commission. </span>
