czar | did it mean, when held for sale, it cannot be reversed |
Jurrens | no, re-read the wording. Held for use and held for sale have two different meanings. |
jonan203 | if held for use cannot be reversed... |
msoentoro | I thought in Study Notes its stated that impairment can not be restored?? |
Shaan23 | I checked A but didnt read all the choices. Msoentoro --- It can be reversed under GAAP only under one condition --- Held for sale. |

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
