Goodwill And Intangible Assets

Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC 350-20-35, Goodwill - Subsequent Measurement and Impairment, we perform an annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of our goodwill and other intangible assets on a reporting unit basis, or earlier if changes in circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired. No such circumstances existed during the 2014 Quarter and 2014 Six Month period. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had goodwill consisting of the following (dollars in thousands):



		Cinema		Real Estate		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	16,935	$	5,224	$	22,159
Foreign currency translation adjustment		867		--		867
Balance at June 30, 2014	$	17,802	$	5,224	$	23,026

We have intangible assets other than goodwill that are subject to amortization, which we amortize over various periods. We amortize our beneficial leases over the lease period, the longest of which is 30 years; our trade name using an accelerated amortization method over its estimated useful life of 45 years; and our other intangible assets over 10 years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the amortization expense of intangibles totaled $511,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, and, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the amortization expense of intangibles totaled $457,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. The accumulated amortization of intangibles includes $446,000 and $517,000 of the amortization of acquired leases which are recorded in operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following (dollars in thousands):



As of June 30, 2014		Beneficial Leases		Trade name		Other Intangible Assets		Total
Gross carrying amount	$	24,295	$	7,254	$	459	$	32,008
