Net of accumulated impairment losses of $541.4 million ($451.3 million in the Advanced Material Windows & Door Systems segment and $90.1 million in the Security & Storage segment).

Amortizable identifiable intangible assets, principally tradenames and customer relationships, are subject to amortization over their estimated useful life, 5 to 30 years, based on the assessment of a number of factors that may impact useful life. These factors include historical and tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion and other relevant factors.

 

The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization by class of intangible assets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

Accumulated amortization prior to the adoption of revised authoritative guidance on goodwill and other intangibles assets (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350).

We reclassified $5.6 million of internally-developed patents and tradenames as of December 31, 2011 on the balance sheet from other assets to identifiable intangible assets consistent with our current presentation.

At December 31, 2011, the estimated excess fair value in the reporting units of the Advanced Material Windows & Door Systems segment was less than 10% of the carrying value and accordingly, any further reduction in the estimated fair values could trigger a goodwill impairment charge in future periods. In addition, any future reduction in the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived tradenames of that segment would result in an impairment charge. The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain events that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Such events may include, but are not limited to, the impact of the economic environment, a material negative change in relationships with significant customers, and strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions. Our cash flow projections used to assess impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets are significantly influenced by our projection for the recovery of the U.S. market for our home products in the next 3 to 5 years and our annual operating plans that are finalized in the fourth quarter of each year. Our projection for the U.S. market for our home products is inherently subject to a number of uncertainties, such as employment, home prices, credit availability, and the rate of home foreclosures. Significant changes in these and other factors could cause us to change our cash flow projections in future periods which could trigger impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets in the period in which such changes occur.
