            Goodwill—Goodwill represents an excess of consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest ("NCI") in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the acquired entity. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment based on the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit ("CGU") to which the goodwill is allocated. The impairment test is carried out on a regular basis at the end of each financial year, as well as whenever there are indications that the carrying amount of the CGU unit is impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGU units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If the carrying amount of the CGU unit to which goodwill is allocated exceeds its recoverable amount, goodwill allocated to this CGU must be reduced. Impairment losses for goodwill must not be reversed. If the impairment loss recognized for the CGU exceeds the carrying amount of the allocated goodwill, the additional amount of the impairment loss is recognized through the pro-rata reduction of the carrying amounts of the assets allocated to the CGU.
