−Removed: Inherent in the fair value determination
−Removed: for each reporting unit are certain judgments and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s interpretation

−Removed: If the estimated fair value exceeds book
−Removed: value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired.
−Removed: If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, an impairment
