Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment

FASB ASC Update No. 2012-02. In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. An entity’s assessment of the totality of events and circumstances and their impact on the entity’s indefinite-lived intangible assets will then be used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test as described in ASC 350-30, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The Company must adopt these changes no later than its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013, but may adopt the changes earlier. The adoption of ASU No. 2012-02 affects only how indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment and, therefore, will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
