The Company recorded an impairment charge of $135,480 as of December 31, 2012. Refer to the impairment testing section below.   Goodwill   Goodwill represented the excess purchase price consideration of the estimated fair value assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the 2007 DLJ Transaction. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $82,524.  Refer to the impairment testing section below.   Impairment Testing   In accordance with ASC 350—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other and ASC 360—Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company assesses the impairment of its long—lived assets including its property, plant and equipment whenever changes in events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Prior to 2013, the Company also assessed the impairment of its definite—lived intangible assets and goodwill. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s goodwill and definite—lived intangible assets were fully impaired. During each reporting period, the Company assessed if the following factors were present which would cause an impairment review: overall negative solar industry conditions; a significant or prolonged decrease in sales that were generated under its trademarks; loss of a significant customer or a reduction in demand for customers’ products; a significant adverse change in the extent to or manner in which the Company used its trademarks or proprietary technology; such assets becoming obsolete due to new technology or manufacturing processes entering the markets or an adverse change in legal factors; and the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock.   During the first quarter of 2012, the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock declined by approximately 50%. As a result of this decline that did not appear to be temporary, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred requiring it to test its long—lived assets and its goodwill for impairment as of March 31, 2012. Prior to performing its goodwill impairment test, the Company first assessed its long—lived assets for impairment as of March 31, 2012. The Company concluded that no impairment existed as the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the Company’s asset group which is its reporting unit. The key assumptions driving the undiscounted cash flows were the forecasted sales growth rate and EBITDA margin.   After evaluating its long—lived assets for impairment, the Company proceeded to test its goodwill for impairment. At March 31, 2012, the Company valued its reporting unit with the assistance of a valuation specialist and determined that its reporting unit’s net book value exceeded its fair value. The Company then performed step two of the goodwill impairment assessment which involved calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities other than goodwill and comparing the residual amount to the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company determined that the implied fair value of goodwill was lower than its carrying value and recorded a non—cash goodwill impairment charge of $82,524 during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company estimated the fair value of its reporting unit under the income approach using a discounted cash flow method which incorporated the Company’s cash flow projections. Based on the other—than—temporary decline in the Company’s stock price and its net book value exceeding the market capitalization of its common stock during the first quarter of 2012, the market approach was given a higher weighting in determining fair value. The Company believes the cash flow projections and valuation assumptions used were reasonable and consistent with market participants. Many of the factors used in assessing the fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates can change in future periods as a result of both Company—specific factors, industry conditions and overall economic conditions.   Due to continued pricing pressure, trade complaints escalating in the industry, increased competition from non—EVA encapsulant materials and the Company’s 2013 sales outlook which included the loss of its largest customer, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred to test its long—lived assets for recoverability. In conjunction with a valuation specialist, the Company determined that the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows did not exceed the carrying value of the Company’s asset group which is its reporting unit. The key assumptions driving the undiscounted cash flows were the forecasted sales growth rate and EBITDA margin.   Since the asset group’s carrying value was not recoverable, the Company, in conjunction with a valuation specialist, fair valued the asset group incorporating market participant assumptions. The Company estimated the fair value of its asset group under the income approach using a discounted cash flow model which incorporated its cash flow projections. The Company also considered its market capitalization, control premiums and other valuation assumptions in reconciling the calculated fair value to the market capitalization at the assessment date. Based on the assessment, the Company calculated an impairment charge which was allocated to each of the long—lived assets on a pro—rata basis using the relative carrying values of those assets as of December 31, 2012. However, the Company did not reduce the carrying value of such assets below their fair value where such value could be determined without undue cost and effort. Therefore, the Company recorded a non—cash impairment charge of $135,480 to its intangible assets and $37,431 to its property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2012. The Company re—evaluated the depreciable lives of such long—lived assets and determined a revision to those lives was not warranted.   At June 30, 2013, there were no indicators which significantly changed from the December 31, 2012 impairment test and a detailed impairment analysis was not performed. However, if the Company experiences a significant reduction in future sales volume, further average selling price (“ASP”) reductions, lower profitability or ceases operations at any of its facilities, the Company’s property, plant and equipment may be subject to future impairment and/or accelerated depreciation. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for intangible assets and long-lived, physical assets used in the normal conduct of business and not intended for resale.
