(5) | Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of December 31 or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. If impairment indicators arise, a step one assessment is performed to identify any possible goodwill impairment in the period in which the indicator is identified. Beginning in March 2013, we noted certain indicators relating to our Electronics Group reporting unit that were significant enough to conclude that an impairment indicator existed as of March 31, 2013. Specifically, the Company experienced emerging uncertainty regarding certain key programs within the Electronics Group’s space business beginning in the latter part of the first quarter of 2013, as one key customer communicated its strategic sourcing decision to begin insourcing programs that had been previously outsourced to the Electronics Group. Overall, the Electronics Group has been more impacted by declines in the overall government defense market than originally anticipated as the effects of sequestration became clearer after its initial effective date on March 1, 2013. For example, sales of certain data recording products were significantly reduced due to the impact of sequestration on our customers, and the loss of commercial space business was due in part to our customer’s efforts to offset unrelated losses of government business due to sequestration. As a result, the Electronics Group’s short term revenue forecasts were materially affected. Further, the Company experienced a decline in the market value of its equity subsequent to March 31, 2013. The first step of the impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value for the Electronics Group was less than its carrying value as of March 31, 2013. We performed step two of the impairment test and determined that the implied goodwill for the reporting unit was lower than its value as of March 31, 2013. As a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $6,900,000 was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to impair the goodwill associated with the Electronics Group reporting unit. The impairment charge has been presented separately in the consolidated statement of operations and fully impairs the carrying amount of goodwill related to the Electronics Group. The fair value of the Electronics Group and the assets and liabilities identified in the step two impairment test were determined using a combination of the income approach and the market approach, which are Level 3 and Level 2 inputs, respectively.
