During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, as part of the annual goodwill and intangible assets impairment analysis, the Company assessed the value of the indefinite-lived trade names related to previous acquisitions and determined that the value of the Hencorp Futures and Provident Group trade names had been impaired during the year. The Company is intending to discontinue the use of those trade names in the future, which impaired the value of the previously recorded intangible assets. The remaining value, if any, of the trade names was determined based on the income approach utilizing projected sales, an estimated royalty rate and discount rate.
The Company recorded impairment losses for the trade names of $0.8 million, within 'bad debts and impairments' on the consolidated income statement, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the Company determined that the remaining value of the Hencorp Futures trade name is no longer an indefinite-lived intangible asset. The remaining value of the Hencorp Futures trade name of $0.1 million is being amortized over a one year period. The Hencorp Futures and Provident Group trade names were recorded in the CR&M and Securities segments, respectively.
