「For property, plant and equipment, including machinery and equipment, related to the plant factory business held by a subsidiary and classified under the Other segment, the outlook for the business became uncertain and recovery of the investment was no longer expected. In addition, the net selling prices of certain property, plant and equipment, including land and buildings, held by the company and its subsidiaries that were not expected to be used in the future or had been designated for discontinuation declined significantly.
