Goodwill and Intangibles

6 Months Ended

Nov. 30, 2013

Note 5: Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are recorded at the estimated fair value of the assets acquired. Identifiable intangible assets consist of purchased customer relationships and trade names.

The changes in carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets for the six months ended November 30, 2013 were as follows:


	Balance as of June 1, 2013 (net of amortization)		Additions		Amortization			Balance as of November 30, 2013
Goodwill	$	3,109	$	—	$	—		$	3,109
Trade name		411		—		—			411
Customer relationships		626		—		(82	)		544

	$	4,146	$	—	$	(82	)	$	4,064

Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually as of May 31, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate to us that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. There were no conditions that indicated any impairment of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets as of November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The following table provides a summary of our intangible assets:


	November 30, 2013
	Estimated Useful Life		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Trade name		Indefinite	$	411	$	—		$	411
Customer relationships		3-8 years		2,094		(1,550	)		544

			$	2,505	$	(1,550	)	$	955


	May 31, 2013
	Estimated Useful Life		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Trade name		Indefinite	$	411	$	—		$	411
Customer relationships		3-8 years		2,094		(1,468	)		626

			$	2,505	$	(1,468	)	$	1,037

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $41 for both the three months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, and $82 for both the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012.

Amortization expense for customer relationships is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table provides estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets as of November 30, 2013:
