The gross goodwill amount at January 1, 2013 was $192,418,000 (2012 - $190,545,000) and the accumulated impairment at that date was $31,140,000 (2012 - $29,085,000). All impairments to that date related to hotel and restaurant operations.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2013, OEH identified a non-cash goodwill impairment of $3,187,000 at Ubud Hanging Gardens. This impairment was recorded in discontinued operations, as the results of operations of this hotel have been presented as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Its assets and liabilities, however, are not accounted for as held for sale at December 31, 2013 and 2012. See Note 4. There were no impairments to goodwill of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, OEH identified a non-cash goodwill impairment of $2,055,000 at Reid's Palace, Madeira, Portugal. Management’s estimates considered future profitability of the business, future growth rates and the related discount rates.  OEH determined this impairment was triggered due to performance that required a reassessment.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2011, OEH identified non-cash goodwill impairments of $11,907,000 at three hotels. Management’s estimates considered future profitability of the businesses, future growth rates and the related discount rates.  OEH determined these impairments were triggered in each case due to performance that required a reassessment.  The impairment loss consisted of the following:
