Goodwill

As a result of a 2001 acquisition, on December 31, 2011, the Company had a goodwill balance of $28.1 million. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value and the goodwill impairment charge, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the goodwill as compared to its estimated fair value. The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment by determining if certain qualitative events have occurred or if circumstances have changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. As a result of this evaluation, the Company identified indicators of impairment in 2012 related to recurring operating losses and reduced market capitalization and, therefore, performed an interim impairment test of goodwill.

The Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis based on its current operating forecast to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. After completing the analysis, the Company concluded that the entire amount of the goodwill, adjusted for the effect of currency translation, was impaired and a non-cash charge of $28.3 million was recorded in 2012.
