Investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting are classified on our balance sheet as long-term investments. Such investments include identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax liabilities and goodwill. As of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, the goodwill related to our equity investments, included above, was approximately $27.4 million.

The adjustments to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2009 were due primarily to foreign currency translation.

We determined the fair value of the Communications reporting unit using the income approach, which requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows discounted using an estimated discount rate. Our estimates resulted from an updated long-term financial outlook developed as part of our strategic planning cycle conducted annually during our third quarter. Our estimates of future operating results for our Communications reporting unit are for an early stage business with limited financial history, as well as developing revenue models. These factors increase the risk of differences between projected and actual performance that could impact future estimates of fair value of the Communications reporting unit.

The changes in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were due primarily to the acquisition of Fraud Sciences and foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
In accordance with Statement of FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test.

Investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting are classified on our balance sheet as long-term investments. Such investments include identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax liabilities and goodwill. Goodwill related to our equity method investments, included above, was approximately $27.4 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2007.
 
The changes in goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2007 were substantially due to the recording of goodwill for completed acquisitions, the earn out settlement with certain former shareholders of Skype, impairment charges related to Skype and foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill as of August 31, 2007 in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” As a result of this test, we concluded that the carrying amount of our Communications reporting unit exceeded its fair value and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.4 billion during the year ended December 31, 2007. The impairment charge includes the impact of the earn out settlement payment described below and was determined by comparing the carrying value of goodwill in our Communications reporting unit with the implied fair value of the goodwill. We determined the fair value of the Communications reporting unit using the income approach, which requires estimates of future operating results and cash flows discounted using an estimated discount rate. Our estimates resulted from an updated long-term financial outlook developed as part of our strategic planning cycle conducted annually during our third quarter. Our estimates of future operating results for our Communications reporting unit are for an early stage business with limited financial history, as well as developing revenue models. These factors increase the risk of differences between projected and actual performance that could impact future estimates of fair value of the Communications reporting unit.
 
In conjunction with our acquisition of Skype in 2005, we agreed to certain performance-based earn out payments. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we entered into an earn out settlement agreement with each of the former shareholders of Skype who had elected the earn out alternative at the time of the acquisition, under which we were relieved of all obligations under the original earn out agreement in exchange for an aggregate cash payment of €375.1 million, or approximately $530.3 million. Goodwill was recorded because the earn out settlement amount was considered additional purchase price.
