An entity shall disclose its policy for determining which items are treated as cash equivalents. Other information that may be disclosed includes (1) the nature of any restrictions on the entity's use of its cash and cash equivalents, (2) whether the entity's cash and cash equivalents are insured or expose the entity to credit risk, (3) the classification of any negative balance accounts (overdrafts), and (4) the carrying basis of cash equivalents (for example, at cost) and whether the carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value. Cash includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the customer may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. In addition, cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three-years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. For a bank, may include explanation and amount of requirement to maintain reserves against deposits.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Financial Reporting Release (FRR) -Number 203 -Paragraph 02-03 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Regulation S-X (SX) -Number 210 -Section 02 -Paragraph 1 -Article 5 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) -Number 95 -Paragraph 7, 8, 9, 10 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher AICPA -Name Technical Practice Aid (TPA) -Number 2110 -Paragraph 6 falsefalseCash and Cash Equivalents6false0us-gaap_ReceivablesPolicyTextBlockus-gaaptruenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseterselabel1falsefalsefalse00<table style="font-size:10pt; font-family:'Times New Roman',times,serif;"><tr> <td> Allowance For Doubtful Accounts The company estimates the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts by analyzing accounts receivable balances by age and applying historical write-off trend rates.

The companys reporting units are its operating segments. If circumstances change significantly, the company would also test a reporting unit for impairment during interim periods between the annual tests. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Fair values of reporting units are established using a discounted cash flow method. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow method. Based on the companys testing, there has been no impairment of goodwill during the three years ended December 31, 2010. There has been no impairment of goodwill since the adoption of FASB guidance for goodwill and other intangibles on January 1, 2002.  During the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, the company completed its annual test for goodwill impairment. The company determined GCS Service required an updated fair value calculation due to soft sales and continued operating losses. The company uses both a discounted cash flow analysis and market valuations, including similar company market multiples and comparable transactions, to assess fair value. The estimated fair value of the GCS Service business is based on a probability weighted-average of these various measures. Based on this analysis, it was determined that the fair value of GCS Service reporting unit would have to decline by approximately 30% to indicate the potential for an impairment of their goodwill. Therefore, the company believes that the estimated fair value of the GCS Service reporting unit substantially exceeds its carrying value and no adjustment to the $43 million carrying value of goodwill is necessary. The key assumptions utilized in determining fair value are revenue growth rates, operating margins and factors that impact the companys weighted-average cost of capital, including interest rates. Of these factors, the fair value estimate is most sensitive to changes in revenue growth rates which could be adversely impacted by continued difficult economic conditions, uncertainty in the U.S. foodservice markets and the timing of adding new customers. GCS Service is included in the companys U.S. Other Services reportable segment.  The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for each of the companys reportable segments are as follows:   <table style="WIDTH: 99.98%;
