Goodwill And Intangible Assets |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other," we apply a fair value based impairment test to the net book value of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets on an annual basis and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on an interim basis. The analysis of potential impairments of goodwill requires a two-step process. The first step is an estimation of fair value of the Company. If step one indicates that impairment potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment exists when the fair value of goodwill or indefinite-lived assets is less than the carrying value. As of June 30, 2011, based on a combination of factors, including a decline in our market capitalization, updated business forecasts, and the expiration of our warrants, we concluded that there were sufficient indicators to require us to perform an interim goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles impairment analysis. For the purposes of the analysis performed during the second quarter of 2011, our estimates of fair value were based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices. We concluded that an impairment loss was probable and could be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, we recorded $44.2 million for non-cash asset impairment charge. As of September 30, 2011, based on a significant decline in our market capitalization, we concluded that there was an indicator to require us to perform an interim goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles impairment analysis and as a result, we concluded that an impairment loss was probable and could be reasonably estimated. For the purposes of the analysis performed during the third quarter of 2011, our estimates of fair value were based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows and the market approach which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices. Accordingly, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded $23.4 million for non-cash asset impairment shares representing our best estimate of the loss. This estimate was based on significant unobservable inputs and would have been considered a level 3 under ASC 820. Based on the impairment analysis performed by the Company as of September 30, 2011, the following table outlines the impairment charges by asset category (in thousands):
The following table presents the methods used to establish fair value measurements for Trade names (in thousands):
In accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," the estimated fair value of the trade names were estimated based primarily upon discounted cash flow methodologies reflecting the Company's own assumptions resulting in a Level 3 classification. Identifiable Intangible Assets The carrying amount and accumulated amortization of intangible assets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):
Amortization expense for intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $683 thousand and $2.0 million, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $624 thousand and $1.6 million, respectively. The expenses for all periods were recorded in operating expenses. Expected annual amortization expense for intangible assets recorded as of September 30, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):
