6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for any business acquisitions and recognizes intangible assets separately from goodwill. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities in an acquisition are measured and recognized based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, with goodwill representing the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets.

Purchased goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, such as trade names, are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, during the second fiscal quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. The Company’s impairment testing for both goodwill and other long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite useful lives, is primarily based on cash flow models that require significant judgment and assumptions about future trends, revenue and expense growth rates, and in addition, external factors such as changes in economic trends and cost of capital. Significant changes in any of these assumptions could impact the outcome of the impairment tests performed.

There were no goodwill or intangible assets impairment indicators identified during fiscal 2012 or during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Other intangible assets included the following:

Total intangible assets, subject to amortization			$	16,330	$	(3,233	)	$	13,097

Total intangible assets, subject to amortization			$	16,328	$	(2,798	)	$	13,530
