There were no impairment losses related to goodwill during fiscal 2013. When CRA performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, its net book value exceeded its market capitalization plus an estimated control premium. Therefore, CRA was required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $71.4 million. CRA recorded this goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Intangible assets that are separable from goodwill and have determinable useful lives are valued separately and amortized over their expected useful lives. There were no impairment losses related to intangible assets during fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012, or fiscal 2011.

The components of acquired identifiable intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

	December 28, 2013		December 29, 2012

Non-competition agreements, net of accumulated amortization of $3,802, and $3,311, respectively	$	598	$	1,047
Customer relationships, net of accumulated amortization of $3,550 and $2,840, respectively		3,909		691
Other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization of $1,040, and $971, respectively		30		96


	$	4,537	$	1,834

Amortization of intangible assets was $1.2 million, $0.8 million, and $0.9 million in fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012, and fiscal 2011, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets held at December 28, 2013 for the next five fiscal years is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year	Amortization Expense

2014	$	1,111
2015		768
2016		579
2017		537
