GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS | 5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill was $95,711 as of June 30, 2016, and $40,442 as of September 30, 2015. The increase in goodwill was due to $54,482 in goodwill related to the acquisition of NexPlanar and $787 in foreign exchange fluctuations of the New Taiwan dollar. The components of other intangible assets are as follows:
*Other indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization consist primarily of trade names. As discussed in Note 2, we recorded $61,000 of intangible assets related to our acquisition of NexPlanar. The allocation of that amount into the various categories of intangible assets, as well as the useful lives we have established, are discussed in Note 2. Amortization expense on our intangible assets was $2,072 and $6,026 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 respectively, and was $590 and $1,765 for the three and nine months ended and June 30, 2015, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense for the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level, which is defined as either an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. An entity has the option to assess the fair value of a reporting unit either using a qualitative analysis ("step zero") or a discounted cash flow analysis ("step one"). Similarly, an entity has the option to use a step zero or a step one approach to determine the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets. In fiscal 2015, we chose to use a step one analysis for both goodwill impairment and for indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment. We completed our annual impairment test during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and concluded that no impairment existed. There were no indicators of potential impairment during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, so it was not necessary to perform an impairment review for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the quarter. There have been no cumulative impairment charges recorded on the goodwill for any of our reporting units. |
