Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We account for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining noncontrolling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, plus the value of any noncontrolling interests, is recognized as goodwill. We perform our annual goodwill impairment review as of October 1 of each year, and more frequently if negative conditions or other triggering events arise. As a result of our 2015 analysis, we determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its net book value and therefore, no goodwill impairment was necessary. Should current market conditions worsen or persist for an extended period of time, an impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill could occur.
As part of the 2M-Tek Acquisition we recognized $6.7 million of goodwill and acquired definite-lived intangible assets with an acquisition date fair value of $13.5 million. As part of the ITS Acquisition, we acquired definite-lived intangible assets with an acquisition date fair value of $8.5 million. During the 2015 fourth quarter, we sold our controlling interest in a joint venture in Egypt resulting in the write-off of $0.6 million of intangible assets related to customer relationships and trade name. All of the Company's goodwill and intangible assets are allocated to the Rental Tools segment.
