(4) Goodwill

The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test for its majority owned subsidiary, PST Eletrônica Ltda. (“PST”) on October 1, and did so in 2013 without a need to expand the impairment test to step two of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350 as PST’s calculated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10.0% and no indicators of impairment were identified as disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K.

During the second quarter of 2014 however, indicators of potential impairment required the Company to conduct an interim impairment test. Those indicators included a decline in recent operating results and lower growth expectations primarily due to the weakening of the Brazilian economy and automotive market. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company completed step one of the impairment analysis and concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the PST reportable segment was below its carrying value, including goodwill. As such, step two of the impairment test was initiated in accordance with ASC 350.

Due to its time intensive nature, the step two analysis has not been completed as of the date of this filing. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company has recorded its best estimate of $29,300 as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge (of which $6,436 was attributable to noncontrolling interest) as of June 30, 2014 which is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company expects to complete the step two analysis in the third quarter of 2014.
