Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Insurance Recoveries

Note 6 – Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Insurance Recoveries

For the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges of $27 and $9, for customer relationship and trade name assets, respectively, in the Asia Pacific operating segment. The impairment charges reflect the Company's decision to close the Seoul, Korea office acquired in its 2011 Brandimage acquisition. The impairment charges are included in Impairment of long-lived assets in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded impairment charges of $65 related to leasehold improvements no longer being utilized as a result of an office consolidation. Since the impairments relate to the Company's ongoing restructuring and cost reduction initiatives, the impairment charges are included in Acquisition integration and restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). See Note 12 – Acquisition Integration and Restructuring.
