INVACARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Other Intangibles —Continued
intellectual property impairment of $201,000 in the Asia/Pacific segment. The after-tax and pre-tax impairment
amounts were the same for each of the above impairments except for the indefinite-lived trademark impairment
in the Europe segment which was $320,000 after-tax. As a result of the company’s 2010 intangible impairment
review, impairment charges of $336,000 and $248,000 were recorded related to trademarks for IPG and a
customer list for NA/HME, respectively, as the actual and remaining forecasted cash flows associated with these
intangibles were less than the cash flows originally used to value the intangibles.
