(1) Our segment reporting has been revised as of July 1, 2014 and, as such, we have re-allocated our goodwill by segment for the period ended June 30, 2014. See Note 14 for additional details.

(2) See notes 7 and 12 for additional details.

(3) Relates to goodwill held by subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar.

In connection with the July 1, 2014 revision to our reportable segments, the composition of one of our reporting units was divided and realigned to new operating segments. We reassigned the goodwill for this reporting unit using the relative fair value approach and performed a goodwill impairment test immediately before and after the reorganization of the reporting structure in order to determine whether the reorganization did not mask a goodwill impairment charge. We estimated the fair values of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flows are based on our strategic plans and best estimates of revenue growth and operating profit by each reporting unit. Our analysis requires the exercise of significant judgment, including the identification of reporting units and assumptions about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. Our analysis concluded that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit sufficiently exceeds its carrying value and thus no further evaluation of impairment is necessary.

Acquired Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets amortization expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 was $5,453 and $12,084, respectively, and $2,353 and $4,657 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. Amortization expense has increased significantly in fiscal 2015 due to the acquisitions of Printdeal, Pixartprinting and FotoKnudsen.
