NOTE D — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill by reportable operating segment consisted of the following:

			Premium Logistics
	Household Goods		and Expedited
	Moving Services		Freight Services		Total
	(in thousands)

Balance December 31, 2012	$	3,660	$	69,529	$	73,189
Purchase accounting adjustments	—		1,567		1,567
Goodwill acquired	1,692		—		1,692
Balance June 30, 2013	$	5,352	$	71,096	$	76,448

Goodwill of the Premium Logistics and Expedited Freight Services segment associated with the Panther acquisition was attributable primarily to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, an assembled workforce, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for the acquired intangible assets, including software, which are not deductible for income tax purposes. A substantial portion of the Panther goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill balance of $1.7 million related to the May 31, 2013 acquisition of a privately-owned logistics company included in the Household Goods Moving Services segment (see Note C) is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes.

Intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2013:

	Weighted Average			Accumulated		Net
	Amortization Period	Cost		Amortization		Value
	(in years)			(in thousands)
Finite-lived intangible assets
Customer relationships	14	$	43,500	$	3,237	$	40,263
Driver network	3	3,200		1,111		2,089
	13	46,700		4,348		42,352

Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Trade name	N/A	32,300		N/A		32,300
Other	N/A	2,822		N/A		2,822
		35,122				35,122
Total intangible assets	N/A	$	81,822	$	4,348	$	77,474

Intangible assets, except for the $2.8 million of other indefinite-lived assets, were acquired in conjunction with the June 2012 acquisition of Panther. Amortization expense on intangible assets (excluding acquired software which is reported within property, plant and equipment) is expected to approximate $4 million for 2013 and is anticipated to range between $3 million and $4 million per year for 2014 through 2017. Acquired software is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years, resulting in approximately $5 million of annual amortization expense (which is reported as depreciation expense) for 2013 through 2017.
