Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Note H – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company performed an impairment assessment during the third quarter of Fiscal 2015. The results of this assessment showed that the estimated fair values of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned continued to exceed the corresponding carrying values of the respective reporting units resulting in no goodwill impairment. Following is a reconciliation of goodwill for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 (thousands of dollars):


	Engine Products	Industrial Products	Total Goodwill
Balance as of July 31, 2014	$ 72,373	$ 94,033	$ 166,406
Goodwill acquired	-	60,266	60,266
Foreign exchange translation	(1,263)	(7,154)	(8,417)
Balance as of April 30, 2015	$ 71,110	$ 147,145	$ 218,255

As of April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014, other intangible assets were $36.0 million. Intangible assets increased during the year due to the acquisition of Northern Technical L.L.C. (Northern Technical) intangibles of $6.2 million, offset by amortization of existing assets of $4.9 million, and a $1.3 million foreign exchange translation decrease. Refer to Note R for further discussion of the Northern Technical acquisition.

Expected amortization expense relating to existing intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):


Fiscal Year
Remaining 2015	$ 2,588
2016	$ 5,375
2017	$ 5,235
2018	$ 4,000
2019	$ 3,449
2020	$ 3,364
Thereafter	$ 12,481
