Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company has recorded goodwill as a result of its business combinations. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible assets, other intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Changes in goodwill from January 1, 2012 to April 1, 2012 are related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company has also recorded other finite and indefinite lived intangible assets as a result of business combinations and also in connection with the purchase of additional shares in the Company's consolidated South African joint venture. During the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2012, the Company performed the annual impairment test on the BI trade name, an indefinite lived intangible asset, and determined that the fair value of the trade name exceeded the carrying value; as such, no impairment charge was recorded. Changes in gross carrying amount from January 1, 2012 are related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's intangible assets include facility management contracts, non-compete agreements, the BI trade name and technology as follows (in thousands):



	April 1, 2012							January 1, 2012
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount

Amortization expense relative to the Company's finite lived intangible assets was $4.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011. As of April 1, 2012, the weighted average period before the next contract renewal or extension for all of the facility management contracts was approximately 1.4 years.

Estimated amortization expense related to the Company's finite-lived intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal year 2012 through fiscal year 2016 and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):



Fiscal Year	Total Amortization Expense
Remainder of 2012	$	13,322
