NOTE 4 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The carrying amount of goodwill as of April 26, 2013 is $1,070,557, an increase of $13,888 from the end of fiscal year 2012. The increase is due to an acquisition made in the first quarter of 2013 (see Note 2 for further details), partially offset by foreign currency translation.

Total intangible asset amortization expense for the six months ended April 26, 2013 was $3,270, compared to $3,306 for the same period last year. Estimated annual amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years based on the intangible assets as of April 26, 2013 is expected to be approximately $7,000.
