During the first quarter of 2012, the Company determined that a triggering event requiring an interim impairment assessment had occurred as a result of its decision to pursue sales or other strategic alternatives for the Retirement Plans and Individual Life reporting units. The Company completed interim impairment tests during each of the first three quarters of 2012 for the Retirement Plans reporting unit which resulted in no impairment of goodwill. The annual goodwill assessment for Retirement Plans was completed as of October 31, 2012 and an additional impairment test was completed as of December 31, 2012 as a result of the anticipated sale of this business unit. No write-down of goodwill resulted for the year ended December 31, 2012. Retirement Plans passed step one of the goodwill impairment tests with a margin of less than 10% between fair value and book value of the reporting unit as of both dates. The fair value of the Retirement Plans reporting unit as of October 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 was based on a negotiated transaction price. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the Retirement Plans reporting unit was $87 as of December 31, 2012 The Company completed interim impairment tests during each of the first three quarters of 2012 for the Individual Life reporting unit which resulted in no impairment of goodwill as the Company anticipated a gain on the sale of the Individual Life reporting unit. Upon closing the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company uncovered an error in its calculation of the transaction gain that resulted in the transaction generating a modest loss. This loss would have resulted in a goodwill impairment in the third quarter; however, this loss was recognized in the fourth quarter as it was immaterial to the respective quarter's financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $61 was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012. An additional impairment test was completed for the Individual Life reporting unit as of December 31, 2012 as a result of the anticipated sale of this business unit. No additional write-down of goodwill resulted for the year ended December 31, 2012 as fair value approximated the remaining book value of the reporting unit as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of the Individual Life reporting unit as of October 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 was based on a negotiated transaction price. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the Individual Life reporting unit was $163 as of December 31, 2012.
