Identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the Vince trademark. No impairments of the Vince trademark were recorded as a result of our annual asset impairment tests during fiscal years 2014, 2013 or 2012. In fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, we performed the qualitative assessment on the Vince Trademark as allowed by theIntangible—Goodwill and Other Topic of ASC and determined that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the asset.

Additionally, there were no impairments recorded as a result of our annual goodwill impairment test during fiscal 2014, 2013 or 2012. In fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, we used a qualitative analysis to assess the goodwill and determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value was less than the carrying value, as allowed by the Intangible—Goodwill and Other Topic of ASC.
