5. Goodwill

The guidance under ASC 805-30 provides for the recognition of goodwill on the acquisition date measured as the excess of the aggregate consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date amounts of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company's goodwill balance relates to the Neeltran Acquisition in fiscal 2021, the NEPSI Acquisition in fiscal 2020, and Infinia Technology Corporation in fiscal 2017 and is reported in the Grid business segment.  

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed annually on February 28th and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill might not be recoverable.

The following table provides a roll forward of the changes in the Company's Grid business segment goodwill balance:
