Impairments 2011 on other intangible assets<br />
As a result of a review towards the end of 2011 of the business plan at a foreign<br />
subsidiary an impairment of CHF 5.4 million had to be recorded on other intangible<br />
assets. Another impairment of CHF 17.3 million relates to the Surface Technology<br />
Division (see note 37).<br />
As of 31 December 2011 goodwill from business combinations is allocated to<br />
the Group's three cash-generating units (CGUs) Slovaktual, RWD Schlatter and<br />
EgoKiefer.<br />
The carrying amounts of goodwill per CGU are presented below:<br />

Goodwill impairment tests 2011<br />
The recoverability of goodwill is normally assessed annually towards the year-end.<br />
The recoverable amount of the CGUs is determined based on value in use calculations.<br />
These calculations use cash flow projections covering a five-year period.<br />
Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using estimated growth<br />
rates. The underlying financial data consisting of one budget year and four plan<br />
years form part of the Group's medium term plan approved by management in<br />
early summer and were used for the impairment tests.<br />
For the CGU underfloor convectors a phasing-out of sales was assumed for<br />
the original ASCO Schmidlin underfloor convector, since this convector will be<br />
completely new designed and thus only slightly based on the original model. This<br />
resulted in an impairment requirement of CHF 1.5 million, so that goodwill had<br />
to be completely written off. The value in use calculation assumed a budgeted<br />
gross margin of 46.0 %, an average EBITDA margin of 12.1 %, phasing-out revenues<br />
until 2016 and a discount rate of 9.8 %.<br />
The value in use calculation for the annual 2011 impairment tests assumed the<br />
following key assumptions:<br />
in %<br />
Slovaktual RWD Schlatter EgoKiefer<br />
Budgeted gross margin 29.4 59.1 64.0<br />
Growth rate 2.0 1.0 1.0<br />
Discount rate 10.0 8.0 8.0<br />
Budgeted gross margins were determined based on past performance, expectations<br />
for the market development and initiated optimisation measures. The<br />
growth rates used were consistent with the forecasts included in industry reports.<br />
The discount rates used were pre-tax and reflected specific risks relating to the<br />
relevant CGUs.<br />
Based on a reasonably possible change in the key assumptions, sensitivity<br />
analyses were calculated in 2011 on higher discount rates, lower than actually<br />
expected EBITDAs, lower gross margins and lower growth rates. None of these<br />
changes led to impairments.
