7.  INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE AND INTANGIBLES
 
Newcastle recorded investments in real estate and related intangibles at their estimated fair value at acquisition. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Renovations and improvements which improve and/or extend the life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  Newcastle will periodically assess the carrying value of the assets to determine if facts and circumstances exist that would suggest that assets might be impaired or that the useful lives should be modified.  In the event that an impairment in value occurs and we believe that the carrying amount of the assets will not be recovered, a provision will be recorded to reduce the carrying basis of the assets to their estimated fair value.  The following table summarizes Newcastle’s investments in real estate:
