Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable. In the last 12 months, the Company made investments in businesses with presence in Oil and Natural Gas markets. The Company has considered the impact of recent weakness in those markets on its investments and concluded that further impairment analysis was not required, however prolonged or deepened weakness could subject those investments to impairment in the future.
