Other Non-current Assets

In 2010, certain other non-current assets were obtained through a series of wholesale transactions whereby the Company exchanged $6.4 million of inventory, at cost, with a third-party vendor for $4.9 million of credits for future media purchases and $1.5 million in cash.  The transaction was accounted for based upon the fair values of the assets involved in the transaction.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 845-10, in an exchange transaction for trade credits, the fair value of the asset being surrendered cannot exceed its carrying value, meaning that the sale of the inventory was recorded at its cost in the Commercial segment.  The trade credits expire in 2015.  As of December 31, 2011 $0.7 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $3.9 million was included in other assets, net, related to these credits.  As of January 1, 2011, $0.7 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $4.2 million was included in other assets, net, related to these credits.  The Company evaluated its trade credits to determine whether an impairment existed as of December 31, 2011.  Because it is not probable the entity will not use all the remaining barter credits based on current utilization expectations, no impairment loss was recognized.
