+Added: and estimates of expense related to our debt and equity instruments.
+Added: Each of these estimates is discussed in greater detail in
+Added: the following discussion.

−Removed: an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

−Removed: We follow a two-step process for testing
−Removed: First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment

−Removed: fair value of its assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in

−Removed: The amount of impairment for goodwill is measured as the excess of its carrying value over its implied fair value.
