Goodwill And Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Note 10 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill associated with our business combinations is tested for impairment at the beginning of the fourth quarter with continued evaluation through the end of the fourth quarter of every year. The fair value estimates of each of our reporting units is based on the projected profits and cash flows of the related assets using each reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital as a discount rate. As a result of this test, whereby the Step 1 Test was passed for all reporting units, it was determined that there is no impairment to our goodwill as of December 31, 2012 or 2011.

At December 31, 2012 or 2011, our goodwill consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):



2012		Cinema		Real Estate		Total
Balance as of January 1, 2012	$	17,053	$	5,224	$	22,277
Foreign currency translation adjustment		621		--		621
Balance at December 31, 2012	$	17,674	$	5,224	$	22,898

2011		Cinema		Real Estate		Total
Balance as of January 1, 2011	$	16,311	$	5,224	$	21,535
Goodwill acquired during 2011		539		--		539
Foreign currency translation adjustment		203		--		203
Balance at December 31, 2011	$	17,053	$	5,224	$	22,277

We have intangible assets other than goodwill that are subject to amortization which are being amortized over various periods (dollars in thousands):



As of December 31, 2012		Beneficial Leases		Trade name		Other Intangible Assets		Total
Gross carrying amount	$	24,284	$	7,254	$	458	$	31,996
Less: Accumulated amortization		12,873		3,059		403		16,335
Total, net	$	11,411	$	4,195	$	55	$	15,661

As of December 31, 2011		Beneficial Leases		Trade name		Other Intangible Assets		Total

Total, net	$	13,233	$	4,667	$	99	$	17,999

We amortize our beneficial leases over the lease period, the longest of which is approximately 30 years; our trade name using an accelerated amortization method over its estimated useful life of 45 years; and our option fee and other intangible assets over 10 years. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, our amortization expense was $2.2 million, $2.4 million, and $2.6 million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense in the five succeeding years and thereafter is as follows (dollars in thousands):

2015		1,845
