22. Real Estate Impairment Charge
In 2009, SunCor undertook and completed a review of its assets and strategies within its
various markets as a result of the distressed conditions in real estate and credit markets. Based on the
results of the review, on March 27, 2009, SunCor’s Board of Directors authorized a series of strategic
transactions to dispose of SunCor’s homebuilding operations, master-planned communities, land

impairments in 2011. All SunCor’s operations are reflected in discontinued operations (see Note 21).
