Goodwill
The Company had no Goodwill recorded at December 31, 2014 or 2013. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company determined that indicators of potential impairment existed to require an interim goodwill impairment assessment. These indicators included the recent trading value of the Company's common stock, coupled with overall telecommunications market conditions. As a result, the Company compared its book value to its market capitalization, adjusted for factors such as a control premium and concluded step two of the impairment test should be performed.
During 2012, the Company was organized as a single reporting unit. The Company estimated the fair value of its single reporting unit using a market approach. The market approach estimates fair value in part on market capitalization plus an estimated control premium paid in acquisitions of publicly traded companies with similar characteristics to the Company. Based on the Company's analysis, the implied fair value of goodwill was lower than its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of $29.7 million against the carrying amount of goodwill and as of December 31, 2012 the Company had no goodwill. The impairment charge is included in "Impairment of goodwill" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
