Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill.  The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired.  Such conditions may include an economic downturn or a change in the assessment of future operations.  The Company performs impairment tests of goodwill at the Company level.  Such impairment tests for goodwill include comparing the fair value of the appropriate reporting unit (the Company) with its carrying value.  The Company performs impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets by comparing the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset unit to its carrying value.  The Company recognizes an impairment charge if the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.  The Company completed its most recent annual impairment analyses as of September 30, 2008.  Based upon the results of these analyses, the Company has concluded that no impairment of its goodwill or other intangible assets was indicated.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for all business combinations under the purchase method of accounting.  The Company first allocates the cost of acquired companies to identifiable assets based on their respective fair values.  Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired.  The Company classifies intangible assets as goodwill or intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization.  The Company does not amortize goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis (at January 1) or when management determines that due to certain circumstances the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process with the first step comparing the fair value of the reporting unit (the Company) with its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss to be recognized defined as the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill that exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill.

 

Management periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable.  Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach.  Key assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model include estimated service revenue, estimated cost of services and products sold, and estimated customer retention rates.  Material variations of these assumptions may have a significant impact to the carrying value of goodwill.  There was no goodwill impairment for the period April 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007.

4.     GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangibles consist primarily of goodwill and customer contracts and also include trademarks and non-compete agreements, all related to businesses acquired. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The carrying amount of goodwill and certain indefinite lived trademarks was $133.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and $133.7 million as of December 31, 2005.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As of January 1, 2002, amortization of goodwill and trademarks was terminated, and instead the assets are subject to periodic testing for impairment. The Company completed its annual impairment analyses as of September 30, 2006. Based upon the results of these analyses, the Company has concluded that no impairment of its goodwill or trademarks has occurred.

Customer contracts and non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreements, as straight-line best approximates the ratio that current revenues bear to the total of current and anticipated revenues, based on the estimated lives of the assets. In accordance with Statement 142, the expected lives of customer contracts and non-compete agreements were reviewed, and it was determined that customer contracts should be amortized over a life of 8 to 121/2 years dependent upon customer type. The carrying amount and accumulated amortization for customer contracts and non-competes were as follows:

 
  December 31,
 
(in thousands)
  2006
  2005
 

 
Customer contracts and non-competes   $ 127,018   $ 118,746  
Less: Accumulated amortization     (58,408 )   (46,905 )
   
 
Customer contracts and non-competes, net   $ 68,610   $ 71,841  

 

48


Total intangible amortization expense was approximately $13.9 million in 2006, $12.8 million in 2005 and $10.9 million in 2004. Estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:

(in thousands)
   

2006   $ 13,146
2007   $ 12,027
2008   $ 10,560
2009   $ 9,131
2010   $ 8,961

The carrying amount of goodwill was $133.7 million as of December 31, 2005 and $120.8 million as of December 31, 2004. Goodwill arising from acquisitions prior to November 1970 has never been amortized for financial statement purposes, since, in the opinion of management, there has been no decrease in the value of the acquired businesses.
