During the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded a $144.8 million goodwill impairment charge with respect to our broadband communications reporting unit in Romania. During June 2009, we concluded that an additional goodwill impairment charge was warranted for this reporting unit, due largely to adverse competitive and economic factors, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates that adversely impacted U.S. dollar and euro denominated cash outflows. These factors led to (i) lower than expected levels of revenue, cash flows and subscribers and (ii) declines in the forecasted cash flows of our Romanian reporting unit. Consistent with our approach to the valuation of this reporting unit during the fourth quarter of 2008, our June 2009 fair value assessment was based primarily on a discounted cash flow analysis due to the limited number of recent transactions involving businesses similar to our Romanian reporting unit. Based on this discounted cash flow analysis, which reflected the aforementioned declines in forecasted cash flows and a discount rate of 19%, we determined that an additional goodwill impairment charge of $118.8 million was necessary to reflect a further decline in the fair value of our Romanian reporting unit. This impairment charge is included in impairment, restructuring and other operating charges, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Further hypothetical decreases of 20% and 30% in the June 2009 fair value of our Romanian reporting unit would have resulted in additional estimated goodwill impairment charges during the second quarter of 2009 ranging from approximately $45 million to $75 million and from approximately $75 million to $105 million, respectively.

 

We continue to experience difficult economic environments and significant competition in most of our markets. If, among other factors, (i) our or our subsidiaries’ equity values decline or (ii) the adverse impacts of economic or competitive factors are worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill, and to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets. Depending on (i) our or our subsidiaries’ equity values, (ii) economic and competitive conditions and (iii) other factors, any such impairment charges could be significant.

As of September 30, 2008, Mattel had a money market investment with a net cost basis of $81.3 million, which was reclassified from cash and equivalents to noncurrent assets as a result of the money market investment fund halting redemption requests in September 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the investment was reclassified to other current assets as Mattel expected to receive the proceeds of this investment by the end of 2009, when the underlying securities will have matured. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Mattel received proceeds of approximately $67 million. As of September 30, 2009, September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2008, Mattel also had additional long-term investments of $35.0 million.

In October 2008, Mattel acquired Sekkoia SAS, which owns the Blokus® trademark and trade name rights, for $35.1 million in cash, including acquisition costs. In connection with the acquisition, Mattel recorded goodwill and amortizable identifiable intangible assets totaling $18.1 million and $22.9 million, respectively.
