Beginning in 2011, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test outlined under ASC 350 which requires the assessment of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. The assessment of goodwill impairment will be conducted by determining and comparing the fair value of our reporting units, as defined in ASC 350, to the reporting unit’s carrying value as of that date. The fair value will be determined using an income approach under which the fair value of the asset is based on the value of the cash flows that the asset can be expected to generate in the future. These estimated future cash flows will be discounted to arrive at their respective fair values.

 

Beginning in 2011, the Company evaluated its purchased intangibles for possible impairment on an ongoing basis. When impairment indicators exist, the Company will perform an assessment to determine if the intangible asset has been impaired and to what extent. The assessment of purchased intangibles impairment is conducted by first estimating the undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the purchased intangibles and comparing this amount with the carrying value of these assets. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts, impairment exists and future cash flows are discounted at an appropriate rate and compared to the carrying amounts of the purchased intangibles to determine the amount of the impairment.
