The Company's impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2014 indicated that the estimated fair value of the Automotive reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including goodwill by approximately 248%. And as such, the Company has not recognized any impairment of goodwill in the current period. The Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value thus resulting in the need for interim testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macro-economic conditions, no such matters were noted in the current period. The Intangible assets and related change in carrying values are set forth in the table belows as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
