its carrying value at the date of the most recent impairment test;
• provide a more detailed description of the key assumptions used to estimate fair
values, including how the key assumptions were determined;
• discuss the degree of uncertainty associated with the key assumptions and provide an
analysis of the potential impact of changes in the key assumptions on your impairment
analyses; and
• describe the potential events and/or changes in circumstances that could reasonably be
expected to negatively affect the key assumptions. Please refer to Item 303(b)(3) of
Regulation S-K.
Please provide us with an example of the disclosure you intend to provide and clarify how
