The company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets under the guidance of ASC Topic 350-10, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.” Under ASC Topic 350-10, goodwill is not amortized; however, the company performs an annual impairment assessment at June 30 of every year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The company performs impairment reviews for its reporting units, which are Cranes Americas; Cranes Europe, Middle East, and Africa; Cranes Greater Asia Pacific; Cranes China; Crane Care; Foodservice Americas; Foodservice Europe, Middle East, and Africa; and Foodservice Asia. In its impairment reviews, the company uses a fair-value method based on the present value of future cash flows, which involves management’s judgments and assumptions about the amounts of those cash flows and the discount rates used. For goodwill, the estimated fair value is then compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including recorded goodwill. Goodwill and other intangible assets are then subject to risk of write-down to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value.

As of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the company performed its annual impairment analysis and noted no indicators of impairment.

A considerable amount of management judgment and assumptions are required in performing the impairment tests, principally in determining the fair value of the assets. While the company believes its judgments and assumptions were reasonable, different assumptions could change the estimated fair values and, therefore, impairment charges could be required.

The company will continue to monitor market conditions and determine if any additional interim reviews of goodwill, other intangibles or long-lived assets are warranted. Deterioration in the market or actual results as compared with the company’s projections may ultimately result in a future impairment. In the event the company determines that assets are impaired in the future, the company would need to recognize a non-cash impairment charge, which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated balance sheet and results of operations.

As discussed in Note 3, "Acquisitions," on October 1, 2013, the company acquired all remaining shares of Inducs which the company previously held a minority interest. The aggregate purchase price of $12.2 million, net of cash, resulted in $7.0 million of identifiable intangible assets and $5.0 million of goodwill. Of the $7.0 million of acquired intangible assets, $0.7 million was assigned to trademarks that are not subject to amortization, $1.2 million was assigned to customer relationships with a useful life of 19 years, and $5.1 million was assigned to developed technology with a useful life of 12 years.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the company’s intangible assets other than goodwill are as follows as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $35.3 million, $36.5 million and $37.4 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions or divestitures, the Company anticipates amortization for years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 will be approximately $35 million, $35 million, $34 million, $32 million and $32 million, respectively.
