Note 7 – Goodwill, Customer Relationships and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill:  The Company reported goodwill of $1.1 million at January 1, 2012 and April 3, 2011.  The Company tests the fair value of the goodwill of its reporting units annually as of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year.  An additional interim impairment test is performed during the year whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that suggests that the fair value of the goodwill of either of the reporting units of the Company has more likely than not fallen below its carrying value.  The annual or interim impairment test is performed in a two-step approach.  The first step is the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit to ensure that its fair value exceeds its carrying value.  If step one indicates that a potential impairment exists, then the second step is performed to measure the amount of an impairment charge, if any.  In the second step, these estimated fair values are used as the hypothetical purchase price for the reporting units, and an allocation of such hypothetical purchase price is made to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and assigned liabilities of the reporting units.  The impairment charge is calculated as the amount, if any, by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the implied amount of goodwill that results from this hypothetical purchase price allocation.

The annual impairment test of the fair value of the goodwill of the reporting units of the Company was performed as of April 4, 2011, and the Company concluded that the fair value of the goodwill of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of that date.

Other Intangible Assets:  Other intangible assets at January 1, 2012 consisted primarily of the capitalized costs of recent acquisitions, other than tangible assets, goodwill and assumed liabilities.  The carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s other intangible assets as of January 1, 2012, their estimated useful life and amortization expense for the three and nine-month periods ended January 1, 2012 and December 26, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):
