During the third fiscal quarter of 2012, management performed a Step One impairment test for Racal Acoustics, included in the Avionics & Controls segment, upon identification of an indicator of impairment. Racal Acoustics’ third quarter forecast projected an operating loss for fiscal 2012. Additionally, management determined that requirements for hearing protection devices for the U.S. Army would not recover in the five-year planning horizon in light of the cancellation of certain programs that include Racal Acoustics’ products, and the expected decline in demand for Racal Acoustics’ products from the U.S. armed forces, as well as a global slowdown in defense spending. As required under U.S. GAAP, a Step Two impairment test was required because the current fair value of the business using a discounted cash flow and market approach was less than its carrying amount of the business. Under Step Two, the fair value of all of Racal Acoustics’ assets and liabilities were estimated, including tangible assets, existing technology, and trade names, for the purpose of deriving an estimate of the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill was then compared to the recorded goodwill to determine the amount of the impairment. Assumptions used in measuring the value of these assets and liabilities included the discount rates, royalty rates, and obsolescence rates used in valuing the intangible assets, and pricing of comparable transactions in the market in valuing the tangible assets. The excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill resulted in an impairment charge of $52.2 million. There were no impairments on Racal Acoustics’ other long-lived assets subject to amortization at July 27, 2012.
