Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations.  The Company is required to assess the carrying value of its reporting units that contain goodwill at least on an annual basis.  The Company has the option to
first
assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a
two
-step impairment test.  If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required.  The Company formally assesses these qualitative factors, and if necessary, conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal
November
each year or if indicators of impairment exist.  During all periods presented, the Company determined that the existing qualitative factors did not suggest that an impairment of goodwill exists.  Since there have been no indicators of impairment, the Company has not performed a quantitative impairment test.
