Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Note H – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is assessed for impairment between annual assessments whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. The Company's most recent annual impairment assessment for goodwill was completed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2012. The results of this assessment showed that the fair values of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned continue to exceed the book values of the respective reporting units, resulting in no goodwill impairment. Following is a reconciliation of goodwill for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 (thousands of dollars):


	Engine Products			Industrial Products			Total Goodwill
Balance as of July 31, 2011	$	72,966		$	98,775		$	171,741
Foreign exchange translation		(688	)		(4,450	)		(5,138	)
Balance as of April 30, 2012	$	72,278		$	94,325		$	166,603

As of April 30, 2012, other intangible assets were $48.3 million, a $5.2 million decrease from the balance of $53.5 million at July 31, 2011. The decrease in other intangible assets is due to amortization of existing assets of $4.3 million and a $0.9 million decrease due to foreign exchange translation. There were no intangible asset additions during the nine months ended April 30, 2012.
