In July 2012, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The new guidance allows entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, we are not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless we determine, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The new guidance includes a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The new guidance is effective, for us, beginning with annual and interim impairment tests performed for the reporting period beginning September 15, 2012. This new guidance currently has no impact on our financial statements.
