security compared to its par value for fixed maturity investments, and other factors that may be indicative of market activity. At December 31, 2021, we classified 169.3 million and 10. million of our assets and liabilities, respectively, at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. This represented 0. and 0.0 of our total assets and liabilities, respectively. Level 3 fair value measurements are based on valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable. These measurements are made under circumstances in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. We use valuation models or other pricing techniques that require a variety of inputs including contractual terms, market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs, some of which may be unobservable, to value these Level 3 assets and liabilities. Refer to “Note 6. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information about fair value measurements. Impairments The amount and timing of asset impairment is sub>ect to significant estimation techniques and is a critical accounting estimate for us. The significant impairment reviews we complete are for our goodwill and other intangible assets and equity method investments, as described in more detail below. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, finite lived other intangible assets are amortiNed over their estimated useful life, sub>ect to impairment, and goodwill and indefinite lived other intangible assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, sub>ect to impairment. If goodwill or other intangible assets are impaired, they are written down to their estimated fair values with a corresponding expense reflected in our consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic Business Combinations , we allocated the total consideration paid for TMR among acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their fair values. We recogniNed identifiable finite lived intangible assets of 11.2 million, which will be amortiNed over a weighted average period of 10. years, identifiable indefinite lived intangible assets of 6. million, and certain other ad>ustments to the fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and shareholders’ equity of TMR at March 22, 2019, based on foreign exchange rates on March 22, 2019. In addition, we recogniNed goodwill of 13.1 million, based on foreign exchange rates on March 22, 2019, attributable to the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of TMR. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of TMR will not be amortiNed but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually, as outlined below more frequently if certain indicators are present. Goodwill is assigned to the applicable reporting unit of the acquired entities giving rise to the goodwill and other intangible assets. We assess goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For purposes of the annual impairment evaluation, we assess qualitative factors to determine if events or circumstances exist that would lead us to conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we do not perform a quantitative evaluation. Should we determine that a quantitative analysis is required, we will first determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compare that with the carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, then goodwill is not considered impaired and no further analysis is required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we then proceed to determine the amount of the impairment charge, if any. There are many assumptions and estimates underlying the fair value calculation. Principally, we identify the reporting unit or business entity that the goodwill or other intangible asset is attributed to, and review historical and forecasted operating and financial performance and other underlying factors affecting such analysis, including market conditions. Other assumptions used could produce significantly different results which may result in a change in the value of goodwill or our other intangible assets and a related charge in our consolidated statements of operations. An impairment charge could be recogniNed in the event of a significant decline in the implied fair value of those operations 6
