GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
18. | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual review for impairment. In general, when the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss must be recognized. For purposes of testing for impairment the Company uses a combination of valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are considered to be indefinite. A significant decline in cash flows generated from these assets may result in a write-down of the carrying values of the related assets. The Company performed its annual impairment reviews in the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 and determined that no additional adjustments to the carrying values of goodwill were necessary. Changes to goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, follow.

In fiscal 2012, the addition to Cemetery Products reflects the acquisition of Everlasting Granite in May 2012. The additions to Funeral Home Products and Marking and Fulfillment Systems goodwill primarily represents the effect of adjustments to purchase price; the addition to Cremation goodwill reflects the acquisition of a small cremation equipment manufacturer in Europe; and the addition to Graphics Imaging goodwill related primarily to additional consideration paid in accordance with the purchase agreement with Tact Group Limited and effect of adjustments to purchase price for Kroma.

The net change in intangible assets during fiscal 2013 included an increase for the acquisitions of Wetzel and Pyramid of $12,027, offset by the impact of an impairment loss in the Graphic Imaging segment (recorded in the second fiscal quarter), foreign currency fluctuations during the period and additional amortization. The net change in intangible assets during fiscal 2012 included the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and additional amortization. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $4,156, $3,886, and $4,200 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fiscal year amortization expense is estimated to be $3,792 in 2014, $3,662 in 2015, $3,374 in 2016, $3,181 in 2017 and $3,149 in 2018.
