3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Annually during the first quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, the Company reviews goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment. The annual review of goodwill and assets with indefinite lives during the first quarters of 2012 and 2011 did not result in impairment charges. The fair value of each of the reporting units substantially exceeds its carrying value for both periods. The following table provides a summary of goodwill by reportable segment. The changes represent foreign exchange fluctuations.

The components of finite-lived intangible assets and intangible assets not subject to amortization are as follows:

For the thirty-nine week period ended October 27, 2012, activity included amortization expense of $10 million, the effect of the weakening of the euro as compared to the U.S. dollar of $3 million, partially offset by lease acquisition additions of $8 million. The lease acquisition additions recorded during the period are being amortized over 10 years.
