In fiscal year 2013, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment loss of US$2,000,000. The impairment was on account of the weakness in the publishing industry which resulted in reduction of the US publishing business’s projected operating results and estimated future cash flows. The Company used an income-based valuation approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit by estimating the present value of future cash flows after considering current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results and growth rates.
