Goodwill | Note D — Goodwill As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had goodwill of $408.7 million. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is “more likely than not” that goodwill might be impaired. Such events could include a significant change in business conditions, a significant negative regulatory outcome or other events that could negatively affect our business and financial performance. We perform our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of November 30th of each year. During 2012, as a result of continuing revenue declines in Shoppers, and in conjunction with management’s evaluation of the business, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred and that an interim step one impairment test of Shoppers’ goodwill was warranted in connection with the preparation of its second quarter 2012 financial statements. Management determined that the goodwill balance with respect to this reporting unit was impaired and step two testing was deemed necessary. Step two of the goodwill test consists of performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation, under which the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to its tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values, with any residual amount being assigned to goodwill. The impairment analysis performed during the second quarter of 2012 indicated that $156.9 million of goodwill and $8.4 million of other intangibles relating to trade names and client relationships associated with the Tampa Flyer (included in the Florida Shoppers operations) acquisition in April 2005, were impaired. As a result, a total impairment charge of $165.3 million was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the second quarter of 2012. Excluding the Florida Shoppers operations, which were sold in 2012 and are included in discontinued operations in our Consolidated Financial Statements, the total impairment charge related to our Shoppers business was $156.9 million, all of which related to goodwill.
