Restricted funds primarily consisted of restricted cash held in our wholly-owned captive insurance companies.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of amortization computed on the straight-line method. The Partnership removes the gross carrying amount and the
related accumulated amortization for any fully amortized intangibles in the year they are fully amortized.

We review amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets
may not be recoverable. If such a review should indicate that the carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets is not recoverable, we reduce the
carrying amount of such assets to fair value. We review non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances
dictate.
In 2015, we recorded $24 million of intangible asset impairments related to the liquids transportation and services segment primarily due to an expected
decrease in future cash flows.
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The annual impairment test is
performed during the fourth quarter.
