+Added: Sensitivity of Estimate to Change
+Added: Some of the inherent estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the reporting units are outside the control of management including the weighted-average cost of capital, tax rates, market comparisons, and terminal growth rates.
+Added: While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of the reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur.
+Added: If our actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used to calculate fair value, it could result in material impairments of our goodwill.
+Added: The assumptions used to assess impairment consider historical trends, macroeconomic conditions, and projections consistent with the Company’s operating strategy.
+Added: Changes in these estimates can have a significant impact on the assessment of fair value which could result in material impairment losses.
