Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

On January 1, 2002 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed annually for impairment (or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise).

The Company performs impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets annually. The Company is required to assess these assets for recoverability when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment by estimating the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use of these assets. There has historically been no effect on the earnings and financial position of the Company as a result of the impairment testing.

Other Intangible Assets represents the value attributable to certain acquisitions. Amortization expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

On January 1, 2002 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized but will be reviewed annually for impairment (or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise).

During 2002, the Company performed an initial impairment test of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002. This generally required us to assess these assets for recoverability when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment by estimating the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use of these assets. As a result of impairment reviews in 2008, the goodwill related to our video distribution company in the Benelux countries was reduced by EUR 293 thousand to EUR 1,342 thousand.

Other Intangible Assets represents the value attributable to certain acquisitions (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements). Amortization expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%">Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets including its library of photographs and videos for potential impairment. Upon indication of impairment, the Company will record a loss on its long-lived assets if the
undiscounted cash flows that are estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the related carrying value of the assets. An impairment loss is then measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated
discounted future cash flows. Management’s estimated future revenues are based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions and additional write downs may be required if actual conditions are less favorable than those assumed.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired.

Other Intangible Assets represents the value attributable to: a) Customer base, which was acquired from two of the Company’s former distributors in the U.S. and in Canada in 2001 and 2003, respectively, (see Note 7). The amortization expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over 10 years for each acquisition, and b) Broadcasting asset, which was acquired from International Film Production and Distribution Limited in 2003 (see Note 7). At the time of acquisition, the asset was deemed to have an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization.

In July 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 was required to be adopted by the company as of January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment (or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise). Further separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to amortized over their expected useful lives with no maximum life specified; whereas under prior rules a maximum life of 40 years was required.

During 2002, the Company performed the required initial impairment test of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002. There was no effect on the earnings and financial position of the Company as a result of the impairment testing. The company performs periodic impairment reviews in order to ensure that its accounting treatment is in compliance with SFAS 142 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As a result of impairment reviews in 2008, the goodwill related to our video distribution company in the Benelux countries was reduced by EUR 293 thousand to EUR 1,342 thousand.
