Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 5 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net

Changes in the carrying values of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, by segment, were as follows (in millions):

	Segment
	Electrical		Power		Total
Balance December 31, 2012	$	474.6	$	280.9	$	755.5
Acquisitions		53.3		-		53.3
Translation adjustments		(2.8)		(0.8)		(3.6)
Balance September 30, 2013	$	525.1	$	280.1	$	805.2

In 2013, the Company completed the acquisitions of Norlux, CMC and Continental within the Electrical segment for aggregate consideration of $96.5 million, net of cash received. These acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of $53.3 million of goodwill. See also Note 2 – Business Acquisitions.

The Company performs its goodwill impairment testing as of April 1st of each year, unless circumstances dictate the need for more frequent assessments. As of April 1, 2013, the impairment testing resulted in implied fair values for each reporting unit that exceeded the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. The Company did not have any reporting units at risk of failing Step 1 of the impairment test as the excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value) ranged from approximately 100% to approximately 400% for the respective reporting units. Additionally, the Company did not have any reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.

The carrying value of other intangible assets included in Intangible assets, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is as follows (in millions):

	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
			Accumulated				Accumulated
	Gross Amount		Amortization		Gross Amount		Amortization
Definite-lived:
Patents, tradenames and trademarks	$	111.5	$	(26.5)	$	102.8	$	(23.0)
Customer/agent relationships and other		223.0		(71.3)		212.7		(60.8)
Total		334.5		(97.8)		315.5		(83.8)
Indefinite-lived:
Tradenames and other		56.1		-		56.4		-
Total	$	390.6	$	(97.8)	$	371.9	$	(83.8)

Amortization expense associated with these definite-lived intangible assets was $14.6 million and $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Future amortization expense associated with these intangible assets is expected to be $4.9 million for the remainder of 2013, $18.9 million in 2014, $17.3 million in 2015, $16.6 million in 2016, $15.4 million in 2017 and $13.9 million in 2018.
