GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS [Abstract]

5.	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended July 31, 2014 were as follows:

		Gross Carrying Amount			Accumulated Impairment		Goodwill, Net
	(in thousands)
Balance at January 31, 2014		$	26,985	$	(15,608	)	$	11,377
Impact of foreign currency translation			13		—			13
Balance at July 31, 2014		$	26,998	$	(15,608	)	$	11,390

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment review during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The analysis compared the Company's market capitalization to its net assets as of the test date, November 30, 2013. As the market capitalization significantly exceeded the Company's net assets, there was no indication of goodwill impairment for fiscal 2014. The Company monitors the indicators for goodwill impairment testing between annual tests. No adverse events occurred during the six months ended July 31, 2014, that would cause the Company to test goodwill for impairment.

Intangible Assets

		July 31, 2014			January 31, 2014
	(in thousands)
Amortizable intangible assets
Customer relationships (1)		$	3,030		$	3,048
Trade name			515			515
			3,545			3,563
Less: accumulated amortization			(1,328	)		(978	)
Net amortizable intangible assets		$	2,217		$	2,585

(1)	Customer relationships include the impact of foreign currency translation.

The Company's intangible assets are related to the DynaSys and CEBOS acquisitions completed in fiscal 2013. Intangible assets are included in "Other assets, net" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of July 31, 2014, all of the Company's intangible assets were determined to have finite useful lives, and therefore were subject to amortization.

Amortization of intangible assets was $0.4 million for each of the six months ended July 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013. The following table summarizes the estimated amortization expense relating to the Company's intangible assets as of July 31, 2014:

Fiscal Years	(in thousands)
2015 remaining	$	356
2016		713
2017		712
2018		436
	$	2,217
