Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 are as follows:



	Industrial Segment			Aerospace Segment			Climate & Industrial Controls Segment			Total
Balance at June 30, 2012	$	2,518,121		$	98,674		$	309,061		$	2,925,856
Acquisitions	318,674			—			—			318,674
Divestitures	(61		)	—			(20,044		)	(20,105		)
Foreign currency translation and other	3,047			(339		)	2,694			5,402
Balance at March 31, 2013	$	2,839,781		$	98,335		$	291,711		$	3,229,827

Acquisitions represent the original goodwill allocation, purchase price adjustments, and final adjustments to the purchase price allocation for the acquisitions during the measurement period subsequent to the applicable acquisition dates. The Company’s previously reported results of operations and financial position would not be materially different had the goodwill adjustments recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 been reflected in the same reporting period in which the initial purchase price allocations for those acquisitions were made.

Divestitures represent goodwill associated with businesses divested during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as more fully discussed in Note 13.

Intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful lives. The following summarizes the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible assets:



	March 31, 2013				June 30, 2012
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Patents	$	140,610	$	72,831	$	118,034	$	66,303
Trademarks	386,912		143,223		321,019		129,081
Customer lists and other	1,463,491		460,969		1,247,820		396,271
Total	$	1,991,013	$	677,023	$	1,686,873	$	591,655

Total intangible amortization expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $88,431. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2013 through 2017 is $117,553, $119,448, $114,449, $109,433, and $105,646, respectively.

Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value. No such events or circumstances occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2013.
