Highlight of Business Operations:
In the second quarter of 2009, the Company noted the rates of growth of sales, profit and cash flow of the Nutrimetics and NaturCare businesses were below the Company s projections used in its previous valuations, as was the forecast for growth in future periods. At that time, the Company also noted that financial results of the South African beauty business were not meeting the projections used in the 2008 annual valuation. Given the sensitivity of the valuations to changes in cash flows for these reporting units, the Company performed interim impairment tests of tradenames and reporting units, reflecting reduced future forecasts in these businesses, including the impact of the external environment. The result of the interim impairment tests was to record tradename impairments of $10.1 million for Nutrimetics, $4.2 million for NaturCare and $2.0 million for Avroy Shlain in the second quarter of 2009. In addition to the impairment of tradenames, the Company also recognized impairments of goodwill of $8.6 million and $3.2 million relating to the Nutrimetics and South African beauty reporting units, respectively.The Company recorded re-engineering and impairment charges of $5.9 million, $6.5 million and $5.2 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to severance costs incurred to reduce head count in various units, mainly due to implementing changes in the businesses' management structures.
