GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
The Company has two reporting units: (1) Service Assurance and (2) Security. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company completed its annual impairment test on January 31, 2018. The Company performed an interim quantitative test as of June 30, 2018 related to the intangible asset impairment. The estimated fair value of both reporting units significantly exceeded their carrying value.
At June 30, 2018, goodwill attributable to our Service Assurance and Security reporting units was $1.2 billion and $555.3 million, respectively. At March 31, 2018, goodwill attributable to our Service Assurance and Security reporting units was $1.2 billion and $555.9 million, respectively.
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is due to the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments related to asset balances that are recorded in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended June 30, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

Intangible Assets
The net carrying amounts of intangible assets were $756.4 million and $831.4 million at June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company amortizes intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, except for the acquired trade name which resulted from the Network General Central Corporation (Network General) acquisition, which has an indefinite life and thus is not amortized. The carrying value of the indefinite-lived trade name is evaluated for potential impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company performed a quantitative analysis on certain intangible assets related to the handheld network tools product area, which is currently in the process of being divested. At June 30, 2018, the handheld network tools asset group did not qualify as held for sale.  The fair value for the intangible assets related to the handheld network tools asset group was calculated considering a range of potential transaction prices which we consider to be a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of these intangible assets was determined to be less than the carrying value, and as a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $35.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The impairment charge was recorded within a separate operating expense line item in the Company's consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Intangible assets include the indefinite-lived trade name with a carrying value of $18.6 million and the following amortizable intangible assets at June 30, 2018 (in thousands):
