Note 9 - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

As described in note 1, the Company regularly records impairment charges at BHS related to disconnected security systems. Other impairment charges recorded within continuing operations are as follows:

    Years Ended December 31,
(In millions)   2003   2002   2001
Coal assets reclassified to held and used $ -   14.1   -
Other   1.3   1.7   1.4
Total $ 1.3   15.8   1.4

At December 31, 2002, approximately $43.3 million (original carrying value) of residual long-lived coal assets were reclassified from discontinued operations to assets held and used. The assets held and used were reclassified individually at the lower of their actual cost, adjusted for depreciation since the time originally classified as held for sale, or their fair value at the date the assets were reclassified to assets held and used. Fair value was estimated using sales proceeds for similar assets during 2002 as well as estimates provided by investment advisors. An impairment charge of $14.1 million was recognized in 2002 as a result of the reclassification. In 2003, as described in note 6, the Company sold substantially all of its coal assets that previously had been classified as held and used.
