Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

6. Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

Our acquisitions have resulted in the recording of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Identifiable intangible assets consist of trade names, design libraries and customer relationships related to the acquisitions the Company has completed. The changes in goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are as follows:
