The excess purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. During 2013, we adjusted the purchase price for one of our 2012 acquisitions, which resulted in the reduction of goodwill by $1.5 million. We have one operating segment and one reporting unit. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach based on the market capitalization of the reporting unit. Our annual impairment test was performed as of February 28, 2014.  No impairment of goodwill was identified during 2014 and 2013. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes in certain jurisdictions.
