Certain financial assets are valued using market prices on the active markets. Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. In the first quarter of 2012, the common stock of Brightcove, Inc. (available-for-sale security) began to trade on an active market (see Note 5).
Schedule of Fair Value Assets Measured on Nonrecurring Basis
Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain non-financial assets, such as goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and certain investments, are only recorded at fair value if an impairment charge is recognized. The following table presents non-financial assets that were measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the impairment losses recorded during 2012 on those assets:

(1) Goodwill relates to the About Group and is classified within “Assets held for sale” as of September 23, 2012. See Note 11 for additional information.
(2) Impairment losses relate to the About Group and are included within “Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” for the nine months ended September 23, 2012. See Note 11 for additional information.
The impairment charge totaling $194.7 million in the table above was related to goodwill at the About Group in the second quarter of 2012 (see Note 11). The total fair value of the About Group was determined using a discounted cash flow model (present value of future cash flows). We estimated a 3.5% annual growth rate to arrive at a residual year representing the perpetual cash flows of the About Group. The residual year cash flow was capitalized to arrive at the terminal value of the About Group. Utilizing a discount rate of 15.0%, the present value of the cash flows during the projection period and terminal value were aggregated to estimate the fair value of the About Group. In our 2011 annual impairment test, we had assumed a 5.0% annual growth rate and a 13.8% discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate, we considered the weighted-average cost of capital for comparable companies.
The impairment charges totaling $5.5 million for the cost method investments in the first nine months of 2012, which were primarily related to our investment in Ongo Inc., were due to events surrounding ceasing the operations of our investments (see Note 5). We determined the fair value of these investments using the market and income approaches. The market approach includes the use of financial metrics and ratios of comparable companies. The income approach includes the use of a discounted cash flow model.
