Honeywell International Inc. (HON) | Analysis of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Accounting Policy
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and certain other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually as of March 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. This testing compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value. Honeywell completed annual goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2012 and determined that there was no impairment as of that date.
Other Intangible Assets with Determinable Lives
Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer lists, technology, patents and trademarks and other intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 2 to 24 years.
