GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

5.  GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The carrying value of goodwill was $6.3 million as of November 26, 2016, and May 28, 2016.

Goodwill is initially recorded based on the premium paid for acquisitions and is subsequently tested for impairment, using the first day of our fourth quarter as the measurement date. We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicates an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate, loss of key personnel or a decision to sell or dispose of a reporting unit. The goodwill balance in its entirety relates to our IMES reporting unit which is included in our Healthcare segment.

Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives either on a straight-line basis or over their projected future cash flows and are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. 

Our intangible assets represent the fair value for trade name, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and technology acquired in connection with our acquisitions. Intangible assets subject to amortization are as follows (in thousands):
