Goodwill	Note E - Goodwill The aggregate carrying amount of goodwill from continuing operations is approximately $70.8 million as of September 30, 2023 and includes the write-off of approximately $0.5 million of goodwill associated with the closure of Associated Toolmakers, Ltd. in the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, the Company recorded approximately $0.5 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Sureflex, Inc. in the second quarter of 2023. See Note O – Business Acquisition for further details. No impairment was recognized in the third quarter of 2023. The Company evaluates its reporting units for impairment annually in December, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Such events and circumstances could include, among other things, increased competition or unexpected loss of market share, significant adverse changes in the markets in which the Company operates, or unexpected business disruptions. The Company tests reporting units for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company records an impairment loss based on the difference between fair value and carrying amount not to exceed the associated carrying amount of goodwill. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant industry and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.
