Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

NOTE H - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests, more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would indicate a potential decline in their fair value. The Company has identified two reporting units, consisting of the CAD and COG segments. The Company performs the assessments annually during the fourth quarter or on an interim basis if potential impairment indicators arise. The fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is determined using established income and market valuation approaches and the fair value of other indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of two COG segment trade names, is determined using a forward relief from royalty method. For further discussion about impairment analysis, see the "Impairment Analysis" section of Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011.

At July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the approximate $15.3 million carrying value of goodwill, $11.9 million of which is expected to be tax deductible, related entirely to the COG segment. Other intangibles consisted of the following:
