The changes in the carrying values between the comparative periods for goodwill related to the Company's 2011 acquisition of its Canadian business (Bonnie Togs) were solely due to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates between the Canadian and U.S. dollar that were used in the remeasurement process for preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements. The portion of the changes in the carrying values for other trademarks, including the related accumulated amortization, that was not attributable to amortization expense was also impacted by these same foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The Company recorded approximately $1.9 million in amortization expense for the first three fiscal quarters ended October 1, 2016. Amortization expense for the third fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2016 was not material. The Company recorded approximately $1.0 million and $5.4 million in amortization expense for the fiscal quarter and the first three fiscal quarters ended October 3, 2015, respectively. At October 1, 2016, one tradename had an unamortized balance of approximately $3.2 million, and the future amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $0.2 million for each of the next five fiscal years.
