NOTE 7 -  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.”  The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill is impaired in accordance with ASU 2011 – 08, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).” If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill is not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors,  the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level, that requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate.  The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment.  The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge.  Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests.  Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.  

The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing.  The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing.  These include operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data, to name a few.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

The Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2011.  The continuing effects of the recession on some of the Company’s markets, the decline in discounted cash flows associated with these markets, and the decline in the Company’s stock price led management to believe that an other than annual goodwill impairment test was required for three of the four reporting units that contain goodwill. As a result of the test, it was determined that the goodwill associated with the Graphics Segment was fully impaired. It was also determined that the goodwill associated with the other reporting units tested was not impaired. Because the test was not complete, an estimate of the goodwill impairment was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 totaling $258,000. This goodwill impairment test was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 with no change to the impairment that was recorded.

As of March 1, 2012, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on the three reporting units that contain goodwill. The goodwill impairment test in the Electronic Components Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $7.7 million or 33% above the carrying value of this reporting unit.  The goodwill impairment test in the All Other Category passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $1.8 million or 155% above the carrying value of the reporting unit.  The goodwill impairment test in the Lighting Segment passed with a margin in excess of $28.8 million or 32% above the carrying value of this reporting unit.

The Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2012 on LSI Virticus, one of its reporting units that contains goodwill. Virticus was acquired March 19, 2012 and is part of the Electronic Components Segment. The reduction of the sales forecast that was originally used to value the Earn-Out liability related to the Virticus acquisition and which ultimately led to an adjustment to the earn-out liability in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 (see Note 12), led management to conclude that an interim goodwill impairment test was required on the LSI Virticus reporting unit. As a result of the test, it was determined that goodwill associated with this reporting unit was impaired. Of the original goodwill of $2,413,000, it was determined that $2,141,000 or 89% of the original goodwill value was impaired. A similar test was not performed on the three other reporting units that contain goodwill because the triggering events that indicate the potential impairment of goodwill did not exist.

As of March 1, 2013, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on the four reporting units that contain goodwill. The goodwill impairment test of one of the reporting units in the Electronic Components Segment that contains goodwill passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $10.5 million or 42% above the carrying value of this reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test in the All Other Category passed with an estimated business enterprise value that was $2.1 million or 182% above the carrying value of the reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test in the Lighting Segment passed with a margin in excess of $8.5 million or 10% above the carrying value of this reporting unit. The fourth reporting unit that contains goodwill that is also in the Electronic Components Segment, LSI Virticus, was found to be fully impaired. It was this same reporting unit that incurred an impairment loss of $2,141,000, or 89% of the original goodwill value, as of December 31, 2012. The remaining $272,000 of goodwill associated with LSI Virticus was found to be fully impaired, primarily as a result of a decline in the discounted cash flows related to this reporting unit.  Because the impairment test is not fully complete, an estimate of the goodwill impairment was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.  The impairment test is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
