Impairment Testing

The Company applies 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 and non-amortizable intangibles 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. The Company performed its annual impairment analysis in October 2012 and determined that the fair value of indefinite-lived assets was greater than the carrying value, resulting in no impairment of indefinite-lived assets.

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, the Company 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. The Company concluded that an impairment loss existed and accordingly, a $44.2 million non-cash asset impairment charge was recorded.

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, 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, $23.4 million was recorded for non-cash asset impairment charges representing the Company’s best estimate of the loss. This estimate was based on significant unobservable inputs.

 

Based on the impairment analyses performed by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the following table outlines the impairment charges by asset category as of December 31 (in thousands):
