Dan3,

You do know that, beginning in Q102, you can no longer amortize goodwill? That you only write off goodwill when/if it becomes impaired?

Typical 'Droid B.S., Dan.

Your homework assignment is to learn the difference between amortization and depreciation.

Then you can do the advanced work and learn that when the GAAP rules change, you must also change to conform the new Rules.

depreciation is different than amortization of goodwill, dan. additionally, perhaps you should re-read the FASB rules considering the amortization of goodwill.
