In accordance with accounting standards, intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the estimated fair values to their carrying values.

Trademarks, including tradenames and owned licenses having finite lives, are amortized over their respective lives to their estimated residual values and are also reviewed for impairment in accordance with accounting standards when changes in circumstances indicate the assets’ values may be impaired. Customer relationships will be amortized over the expected period of benefit and license agreements will be amortized over the remaining contractual term. Impairment testing is based on a review of forecasted operating cash flows and the profitability of the related brand. There were no triggering events during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 that would indicate potential impairment and the requirement to review the carrying value of intangible assets.

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization is included in depreciation and amortization on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $1.8 million and $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011, and $4.7 million and $0.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011, respectively. As of October 27, 2012, future amortization expense associated with intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows (in thousands):



Fiscal Year	Amortization Expense
Remainder of 2012	$	2,007
2013	7,140
2014	5,038
2015	3,951
2016	1,381
2017	818
Thereafter	3,110
