The addition to goodwill in fiscal 2011 of $37,721 related to the acquisitions of Danival ($9,142) and GG UniqueFiber ($4,893) and the acquisition of the assets and business of 3 Greek Gods LLC ($23,686). The addition to goodwill in fiscal 2010 of $55,885 related to the acquisition of the assets and business of World Gourmet Marketing L.L.C. ($54,357) and the acquisition of Churchill Food Products, Ltd. ($1,528).

The Company performs its annual test for goodwill impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. In addition, if and when events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below their carrying value, an interim test is performed. The Company completed its annual impairment analysis for fiscal year 2011 and determined that no impairment existed as of the date of that analysis.

Based upon a combination of factors including a sustained decline in the Company's market capitalization below the Company's carrying value during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009, coupled with challenging macro-economic conditions, the Company concluded that sufficient indicators existed to require it to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis at March 1, 2009. Accordingly, the Company performed the first step of its interim goodwill impairment test for each of its then six reporting units. For purposes of this analysis, our estimates of fair values were based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of each reporting unit based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value of the reporting units based on comparable market prices. The income approach requires that assumptions be made for, among others, forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating profit margins, working capital cash flow, perpetual growth rates and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgments by management. As a result of this step one analysis, the Company determined that the carrying value of its Protein and Europe reporting units exceeded their estimated fair values, indicating potential goodwill impairment existed. Having determined that the goodwill of these two reporting units was potentially impaired, the Company performed the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis which involved calculating the implied fair value of its goodwill by allocating the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its assets and liabilities other than goodwill (including both recognized and unrecognized intangible assets) and comparing the residual amount to the carrying value of goodwill. Based on the results, the Company recognized a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $49,676, including $7,553 attributed to the then minority interest of its Hain Pure Protein joint venture, to write off all of the goodwill related to its Protein and Europe reporting units in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009. The non-cash charge had no impact on the Company's compliance with its debt covenants, cash flows or available liquidity.

In April 2009, the Company was informed by the exclusive customer of its fresh prepared sandwich business in the United Kingdom that the customer's purchases from the Company would be significantly reduced in phases with reductions through April 2010. The Company performed an impairment test on the intangible asset associated with the customer relationship, which was being amortized. The projected undiscounted future cash flows related to this customer relationship were determined to be less than the carrying value, and as a result, the Company recognized a full impairment loss of $2,954 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

The Company has License and Promotion Agreements with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. ("MSLO") for the use of the trademark Martha Stewart Clean and the Martha Stewart name in connection with the marketing and sale of natural home cleaning solutions and for the use of the trademark Martha Stewart and the Martha Stewart name in connection with the marketing and sale of certain baking and pasta products. The Company issued 125,636 shares of its common stock in February 2009 and 52,615 shares in October 2009, respectively, in exchange for the use of the trademarks for five-year terms. The fair value of the shares issued was $1,802 and $965, respectively, based on the market price of our common stock on the dates of issuance and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective five-year terms.

Amounts assigned to indefinite-life intangible assets primarily represent the values of trademarks.
