Goodwill And Intangible Assets

Note 10 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill associated with our business combinations is tested for impairment at the beginning of the fourth quarter with continued evaluation through the end of the fourth quarter of every year. The fair value estimates of each of our reporting units is based on the projected profits and cash flows of the related assets using each reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital as a discount rate. As a result of this test, whereby the Step 1 Test was passed for all reporting units, it was determined that there is no impairment to our goodwill as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.

At December 31, 2013 or 2012, our goodwill consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):



2013		Cinema		Real Estate		Total

We have intangible assets other than goodwill that are subject to amortization which are being amortized over various periods (dollars in thousands):

We amortize our beneficial leases over the lease period, the longest of which is approximately 30 years; our trade name using an accelerated amortization method over its estimated useful life of 45 years; and our option fee and other intangible assets over 10 years. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, our amortization expense was $2.2 million, $2.2 million, and $2.4 million, respectively.
