Goodwill And Intangible Assets [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company had $2,691 of goodwill at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011. Included in the balance is goodwill equal to $715 related to its acquisition of Sun Korea. The Company recognized goodwill arising from the acquisition of HCT on September 27, 2011, equal to $1,976 consisting of the value of the workforce, synergies and competitive advantages obtained as a result of the acquisition. Goodwill is held in other assets on the balance sheet. Valuation models reflecting the expected future cash flow projections were used to value Sun Korea at December 31, 2011. The analysis indicated that there was no impairment of the carrying value of the goodwill. As of March 31, 2012, no factors were identified that indicated impairment of the carrying value of the goodwill.

The Company recognized $2,658 in identifiable intangible assets as a result of the acquisition of HCT on September 27, 2011. Intangible assets are held in other assets on the balance sheet. At March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, intangible assets consisted of the following:

Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value. No such events or circumstances occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
