deemed to be impaired, and step two of goodwill impairment test was performed. This step resulted in an implied
goodwill fair value of $151 million compared to an actual goodwill balance of $241 million, with the difference of
$90 million representing the impairment charge. In determining fair values associated with the goodwill impair-
ment steps, the Company primarily used the income and the market approaches. Under the income approach, fair
value was determined based on the estimated future cash flows of the reporting units taking into account
assumptions such as REVPAR, operating margins and sales pace of vacation ownership units and discounting
these cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in the calculations. Under the market
approach, the fair value of the reporting units were determined based on market valuation techniques such as
comparable revenue and EBITDA multiples of similar companies in the hospitality industry. The vacation
ownership goodwill had not been previously impaired.
