GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS [ABSTRACT] |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Method used to calculate fair value of reporting unit that has goodwill at risk |  |  | For the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company calculated the fair value of the PRG reporting unit and compared that to the updated carrying value after the above impairments were recorded and determined that the fair value was not in excess of its carrying value. Key assumptions used in the fair value calculation for goodwill impairment testing include, but were not limited to, a perpetuity growth rate of 7.0% based on the then current inflation rate combined with the GDP growth rate for the reporting unit’s geographical region and a discount rate of 26.0%, which is equal to the reporting unit’s equity risk premium adjusted for its size and company specific risk factors. Estimated future cash flows under the income approach were based on the Company’s internal business plan excluding the results of the deconsolidated subsidiary and adjusted as appropriate for the Company’s view of market participant assumptions. The current business plan assumes the occurrence of certain events, such as continued realignment of operations and reduction of general and administrative costs. Significant differences in the outcome of some or all of these assumptions could impact the calculated fair value of this reporting until resulting in a different outcome to goodwill impairment in a future period. |  |  |  |  |

Fair Value Determination Intangible Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  | The Company calculated the fair value of the trade name using a relief from royalty method based on forecasted revenues sold under the trade name using significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). The valuation assumptions included an estimated royalty rate of 6.0%, a discount rate specific to the trade name of 38.0% and a perpetuity growth rate of 7.0%. |
