Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010, increased by $617 million compared to the figure reported on January 26, 2011. This increase is primarily attributed to:
- A non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $626 million related to the Film, Photofinishing, and Entertainment Group.
- A $7 million reduction in an accrual due to a change in estimate, which partially offset the impairment charge.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Unusual Items: The primary unusual item is the $626 million goodwill impairment charge resulting from testing conducted between January 26, 2011, and February 25, 2011. This charge is non-cash in nature.
Management Commentary: The Company concluded that goodwill associated with its Film, Photofinishing, and Entertainment Group was impaired. Further details regarding the impairment are disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing does not explicitly list new risks or contingencies beyond the financial impact of the goodwill impairment.
