(1)Includes finalization of the purchase price allocation adjustment for Howell of $1.0 million

In 2013, the Company acquired Howell. Of the $55.3 million purchase price, $1.3 million was allocated to goodwill. In 2014, the Company acquired Yorkshire. Of the $30.1 million purchase price, $8.1 million was allocated to goodwill.

As discussed in Note 2, $10.5 million of goodwill relating to the SPD reporting unit was disposed of in 2013 in conjunction with the sale of a business.

There were no impairment charges resulting from the 2014, 2013, or 2012 impairment tests, as the estimated fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying value.

Other Intangible Assets

The gross and net book value of other intangible assets included in other assets was $7.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, at December 28, 2013. The carrying amount of intangible assets at December 27, 2014 was as follows:

With the acquisition of Howell in 2013, $2.3 million of the purchase price was allocated to other intangible assets relating to trade names and customer relationships. During 2014, the purchase price allocation, including fair value adjustments, was finalized. With the acquisition of Yorkshire in 2014, $16.9 million of the purchase price was allocated to other intangible assets. This included customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and trade names and licenses. The remaining change was related to currency translation.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $3.2 million in 2014, $0.9 million in 2013, and $0.7 million in 2012. Future amortization expense is estimated as follows:
