GOODWILL

NOTE D - GOODWILL

The Company determined that it has three reporting units with goodwill to be evaluated, which are the same as its reportable segments: (i) Patient-Care Services; (ii) Distribution; and (iii) Therapeutic Solutions. The Company completes its annual goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of each year. The Company will first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.  If the Company determines that a two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary or more efficient than a qualitative approach, it will measure the fair value of the Company’s reporting units using a combination of income, market and cost approaches.
