Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill | 4. Goodwill As a result of goodwill impairment charges recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of goodwill at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013 was zero. The carrying amount of goodwill at December 31, 2011 was $19.8 million. During the first and third quarters of 2012, based on actual operating results, and reductions in management’s then estimates of forecasted operating results of the M2M Products and Solutions reporting unit principally due to updated views of competitive pressures impacting average selling prices, customer product and technology selections, and the loss of certain customers, the Company determined there were sufficient indicators of impairment present to require an interim impairment analysis during the respective impacted quarters. Based upon fair value tests performed with the assistance of third party independent appraisals, during the first and third quarters of 2012 the Company recorded pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $6.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and a purchased intangible asset impairment charge of $22.8 million during the first quarter of 2012.
