Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of an acquired business. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, using a fair-value-based test that compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value.

Goodwill by reportable operating segment, as described in Note 10 herein, was approximately $42,377,000 and $2,061,000 for Housekeeping and Dietary, respectively, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The cost of intangible assets is based on fair values at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The customer relationships have a weighted-average amortization period of eight years.

The following table sets forth the amounts of our identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization, which were acquired in acquisitions.



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Customer relationships	$	29,080,000	$	35,781,000
Non-compete agreements	—		800,000
Total other intangibles, gross	29,080,000		36,581,000
Less accumulated amortization	12,783,000		19,473,000
Other intangibles, net	$	16,297,000	$	17,108,000

The following table sets forth the estimated amortization expense for intangibles subject to amortization for the remainder of 2016, the following five fiscal years and thereafter:



Period/Year	Total Amortization Expense
April 1 to December 31, 2016	$	1,889,000
2017	$	2,427,000
2018	$	2,327,000
2019	$	2,130,000
2020	$	2,130,000
2021	$	2,130,000
Thereafter	$	3,264,000

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $810,000 in each period.
