The gross carrying amount of intangible assets is determined by applying a discounted cash flow model to the future sales and earnings associated with each intangible asset or is set by contract cost. The amortization period used for definite lived intangible assets is set by contract period or by the period over which the bulk of the discounted cash flow is expected to be generated. We currently believe that we will receive the benefit from the use of the trade names classified as indefinite lived intangible assets indefinitely and they are therefore not amortized.


Licenses and rights, customer relationships and non compete agreements are being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses.


Amortizing intangibles are reviewed for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Indefinite lived intangibles are reviewed annually for impairment. Cash flow and sales analyses are used to assess impairment. The estimates of future cash flows and sales involve considerable management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance which include Level 3 inputs such as annual growth rates and discount rates.  Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning. The actual cash flows and sales could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance, economic conditions, competition and consumer preferences. There were no impairments of intangible assets in 2015, 2014 or 2013.


There were no intangible assets acquired in fiscal year 2013.


Intangible assets of $849,000 were acquired in the food service segment in the New York Pretzel acquisition in the three months ended December 28, 2013 and intangible assets of $11,060,000 were acquired in the retail supermarket segment in the PHILLY SWIRL acquisition in the three months ended June 28, 2014. Intangible assets of $200,000 were acquired in the frozen beverages segment in fiscal year 2015.


Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $5,370,000, $4,932,000 and $4,452,000, respectively.


Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $5,100,000 in 2016, $2,600,000 in 2017, $1,800,000 in 2018, $1,700,000 in 2019 and $1,400,000 in 2020. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.0 years.

(in thousands)

         
                                 

Balance at September 26, 2015

  $ 46,832     $ 3,670     $ 35,940     $ 86,442  

Balance at September 27, 2014

  $ 46,832     $ 3,670     $ 35,940     $ 86,442  

The carrying value of goodwill is determined based on the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible net assets.  Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated annually by management for impairment.  Our impairment analysis for 2015, 2014 and 2013 was based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices.  Under the income approach the Company used a discounted cash flow which requires Level 3 inputs such as:  annual growth rates, discount rates based upon the weighted average cost of capital and terminal values based upon current stock market multiples.  There were no impairment charges in 2015, 2014 or 2013.


No goodwill was acquired in fiscal year 2013.


Goodwill of $7,716,000 was acquired in the New York Pretzel acquisition in the three months ended December 28, 2013, all of which was allocated to the food service segment. Goodwill of $1,826,000 was acquired in the PHILLY SWIRL acquisition in the three months ended June 28,2014, all of which was allocated to the retail supermarket segment.


No goodwill was acquired in fiscal year 2015.
