Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever indicators of impairment are present. This testing includes the determination of each reporting unit's fair value using a discounted cash flows model compared to each reporting unit's carrying value. The reporting units utilized for goodwill impairment tests are primarily based on geography, one level below the Barcode & Security and Communications & Services operating segments.

During fiscal year 2014, the Company completed its annual impairment test as of April 30, 2014 and determined that no goodwill impairment charge was necessary. However, as of the most recent annual impairment test, the estimated fair value of the Company's Latin American goodwill reporting unit exceeded its carrying values by a smaller margin than the Company's other goodwill reporting units. The estimated fair value of the Latin America goodwill reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 10.2%. The increase in sensitivity to this goodwill reporting unit is driven largely by the general macroeconomic environment and lower expectations for future results in the unit. Key assumptions used in determining fair value include projected growth and operating margin, working capital requirements and discount rates. While we do not believe that this goodwill reporting unit is impaired at this time, if we are not able to achieve projected operating margins within the expected working capital requirements and/or there are unfavorable changes to the discount rate, a future impairment of goodwill is at least reasonably possible.

During fiscal year 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment test as of June 30, 2013 and determined that a goodwill impairment charge was necessary for its Brazilian POS & Barcode and European Communications reporting units. Prior to the test, no interim impairment indicators were identified. The Company's impairment testing included the determination of the reporting unit's fair value using market multiples and discounted cash flows modeling based on forecasts which were discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (a level 3 input). The impairment charges were a result of reduced earnings and cash flow forecast primarily due to the general macroeconomic environment and lower expectations of future results. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a non-cash charge for goodwill impairment of $5.4 million and $15.1 million in Europe Communications and Brazil POS & Barcode, respectively.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, by reportable segment, are as follows:



	Barcode & Security Segment			Communications & Services Segment			Total
	(in thousands)
Balance as of June 30, 2012	$	33,008		$	20,877		$	53,885

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company impaired certain customer relationships related to our German communications entity and wrote off the gross carrying amount and corresponding accumulated amortization.

The weighted average amortization period for all intangible assets was approximately 11 years for the year ended June 30, 2014 and 10 years for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $3.9 million, $4.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

Estimated future amortization expense is as follows:
