Usage Type Location Amount
The Group bases its grouping for assessing the impairment loss on
fixed assets on its business segments (automobiles and sales
finance) and geographical segments. However, the Group
determines whether an asset is impaired on an individual asset
basis if the asset is considered idle or if it is to be disposed of.
The Company and some of its domestic consolidated subsidiaries
have recognized an impairment loss on idle assets and assets to be
disposed of due to a significant decline in their market value by
reducing their net book value to the respective recoverable value of
each asset. Such loss amounted to ¥22,673 million has been
recorded as a special loss in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. This impairment loss consisted of losses of
¥9,298 million on idle assets (land - ¥6,907 million and building and
structures - ¥2,305 million, and machinery and equipment - ¥86
million) and losses of ¥1,078 million on assets to be sold (land -
¥467 million and buildings and structures - ¥611 million), and losses
of ¥12,297 million on assets to be disposed of (land - ¥7,476
million and buildings and structures - ¥4,821 million).
The recoverable value of these assets was measured with their net
sale value, which was estimated based on an appraisal value for the
idle assets and those to be disposed of, or a sales contract for the
assets to be sold.
