Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The Company assesses goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are such that the goodwill is more likely than not impaired. The Company continues to monitor impairment indicators in light of reduced earnings, changes in market conditions, near and long-term demand for the Company’s products and other relevant factors.

The following table summarizes the activity in Goodwill for the periods indicated:

Amortization expense for Total other intangibles was $0.6 and $0.6 for the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Intangible assets with definite lives consist principally of customer lists, covenants not to compete and trademark rights. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The weighted-average remaining useful lives of all amortizable intangible assets is approximately 6.5 years.
