GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
4. | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related acquisition costs over the fair value assigned to the net tangible and other intangible assets acquired in a business acquisition. Other intangible assets include patents, technology, license agreements, supply agreements, non-compete agreements and trademarks. Amounts assigned to these intangible assets have been determined by management. Management considered a number of factors in determining the allocations, including valuations and independent appraisals. Trademarks have indefinite lives and are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. Other intangible assets, excluding trademarks, are being amortized over 1 to 20 years. The changes in the carrying value of goodwill classified by reportable operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded $9.7 million of additional goodwill in connection with the 2012 Acquisitions. The goodwill related to the 2012 Acquired Companies was preliminarily assigned to the Company's Europe operating segment. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2012, noting no impairment. Management determined that the fair value of the goodwill at December 31, 2012 exceeded its carrying value and that no impairment existed as of that date. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment using a fair value approach, the relief-from-royalty method (a form of the income approach) . At December 31, 2012, the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the trademarks acquired in the Cinch and Fibreco acquisitions. Management has concluded that the fair value of these trademarks exceeded the related carrying values at December 31, 2012 and that no impairment existed as of that date.
