We recorded certain intangible assets related to the acquisitions of Bradington-Young and Sam Moore.  The trademarks and trade names have indefinite useful lives and consequently are not subject to amortization for financial reporting purposes but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  See “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Intangible Assets.”
Trademarks and trade names are related to the acquisitions of Bradington-Young and Sam Moore. In conjunction with our evaluation of the cash flows generated by the reporting units, we evaluated the carrying value of trademarks and trade names using the relief from royalty method, which values the trademark/trade name by estimating the savings achieved by ownership of the trademark/trade name when compared to licensing the mark/name from an independent owner.  The inputs used in the trademark/trade name analyses are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. Our fiscal 2012 trademark/trade name analysis lead us to conclude certain of our trademarks/trade names were impaired. Consequently, we recorded impairment charges on these intangible assets as follows:
