GOODWILL, LONG-LIVED ASSETS, AND OTHER CHARGES

Goodwill
For goodwill, the Company performs impairment reviews by reporting unit. At the end of fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Company determined it had three reporting units: Engineered Films Division, Applied Technology Division, and Aerostar Division.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit are shown below:

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever a triggering event indicates there may be an impairment. The annual impairment tests were completed for each reporting unit in the fourth quarter based on a November 30th valuation date.

Fiscal 2019 Goodwill Impairment Testing
In fiscal 2019 no triggering events were deemed to have occurred in any of the quarterly periods and no impairments were recorded as a result of the annual impairment testing. In its annual impairment testing, the Company concluded a quantitative analysis was not required for any of its reporting units based on the Company's qualitative analysis.

Fiscal 2018 Goodwill Impairment Testing
In fiscal 2018 no triggering events were deemed to have occurred in any of the quarterly periods and no impairments were recorded as a result of the annual impairment testing. In its annual impairment testing, the Company concluded a quantitative analysis was not required for the Applied Technology and Engineered Films reporting units. This was based on the Company's qualitative analysis and the fact that the estimated fair value in the Company's most recent impairment test substantially exceeded its carrying value for each of these reporting units.

For the Aerostar reporting unit, the Company determined the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over its carry value in the previous year's annual impairment assessment was not significant enough based on the current macroeconomic conditions to perform a qualitative analysis. As such, the Company performed a quantitative analysis for the annual impairment assessment of the Aerostar reporting unit. In determining the estimated fair value of the Aerostar reporting unit, the Company was required to estimate a number of factors, including future revenues and expenses, projected capital expenditures, changes in net working capital and the discount rate. On the basis of these estimates, the November 30, 2017, analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of the Aerostar reporting unit exceeded the reporting unit carrying value by approximately $11,600 or approximately 41%, as such there were no goodwill impairment losses reported in the year ended January 31, 2018.

Fiscal 2017 Goodwill Impairment Testing
In the fiscal 2017 third quarter, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred for its Aerostar reporting unit, which had $789 of goodwill as of October 31, 2016. The triggering event was caused by lowering the financial expectations for net sales and operating income of the reporting unit and certain asset groups due to delays and uncertainties regarding the reporting unit’s pursuit of certain opportunities, including aerostat orders, certain classified stratospheric balloon pursuits, and radar pursuits. Aerostar was still actively pursuing these opportunities and some were in active negotiations, but the timing of certain aerostat and classified stratospheric balloon opportunities were being delayed more than previously expected and the likelihood of radar sales is lower due to the Company's decision to no longer actively pursue certain radar product opportunities.

A quantitative impairment analysis was completed using fair value techniques as of October 31, 2016. In determining the estimated fair value of the Aerostar reporting unit, the Company was required to estimate a number of factors, including projected revenue growth rates, projected operating results, terminal growth rates, economic conditions, anticipated future cash flows, and the discount rate. On the basis of these estimates, the October 31, 2016, analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of the Aerostar reporting unit exceeded the reporting unit carrying value by approximately $9,000, or approximately 30%.

There were no other triggering events during fiscal 2017 for any of the three reporting units, and no impairments were recorded as a result of the annual impairment testing for fiscal 2017.

Long-lived assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles, equity method investments, and property plant and equipment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. For long-lived and intangible assets, the Company performs impairment reviews by asset groups. Management periodically assesses for triggering events and discusses any significant changes in the utilization of long-lived assets. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

When performing long-lived asset testing, the fair values of assets are determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information. Such valuations are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures). An impairment loss is measured and recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flows.

Fiscal 2019 Long-lived Assets Impairment Assessment
The Company did not identify any triggering events for any of its assets groups during fiscal 2019 and as such there were no impairment losses reported in the year ended January 31, 2019, for any of the Company's long-lived assets.

Fiscal 2018 Long-lived Assets Impairment Assessment
During first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company determined the customer relationship intangible asset related to the AgEagle investment was fully impaired. This is more fully described in Note 1 "Significant Accounting Policies". The Company did not identify any additional triggering events for any of its asset groups for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

Fiscal 2017 Long-lived Assets Impairment Assessment
The Company evaluated the triggering events described in the goodwill impairment analysis for fiscal 2017 and determined there were also triggering events with respect to the assets associated with the aerostat and stratospheric programs (Lighter-than-Air) and the radar product and radar services (Radar) asset groups in the Aerostar reporting unit in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, which resulted in an asset impairment test.

Using the sum of the undiscounted cash flows associated with each of the two asset groups, a quantitative test was performed for each asset group. The undiscounted cash flows for the Lighter-than-Air asset group exceeded the carrying value of the long-lived assets by approximately $110,000, or 800%, and no discounted quantitative analysis was deemed necessary based on the
recoverability of the long-lived assets. For the Radar asset group, however, the undiscounted cash flows did not exceed the carrying value of the long-lived assets and the Company performed a discounted quantitative analysis for the long-lived assets.

In this discounted quantitative impairment analysis, the fair value determined was allocated to the assets and liabilities of the Radar asset group. The resulting estimated fair value of the Radar asset group long-lived assets was $175 compared to the carrying value of $262 for the asset group. The shortfall of $87 was recorded in the fiscal 2017 third quarter as an impairment charge to operating income reported as "Long-lived asset impairment loss" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The total impairment loss related to property, plant, and equipment and patents was $62 and $25, respectively.

Other Charges
Inventory Write-downs
Due to the Company's decision to no longer actively pursue certain radar opportunities, during the fiscal 2017 third quarter the Company wrote-down radar inventory, purchased primarily during fiscal 2016. The decision to write-down this inventory is consistent with the triggering event identified during the fiscal 2017 third quarter relating to the Aerostar reporting unit and the Radar asset group. This radar-specific inventory write-down increased "Cost of sales" by $2,278 in fiscal 2017. There were no significant inventory write-downs in fiscal 2019 or 2018.
