Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

NOTE B Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company has allocated goodwill to its Engine Products and Industrial Products segments. There was no acquisition or disposition activity during Fiscal 2014 or 2013. The Company completed its annual impairment assessments in the third quarters of Fiscal 2014 and 2013. The results of this assessment showed that the estimated fair values of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned continued to significantly exceed the corresponding carrying values of the respective reporting units, resulting in no goodwill impairment.

Following is a reconciliation of goodwill for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013:
