Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

The Company tests the carrying amount of goodwill annually as of the first day of the last quarter of the fiscal year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company evaluated its goodwill for impairment during fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 and determined that the fair value of each reporting unit is substantially in excess of its carrying value including goodwill.

The carrying value of other intangible assets as of March 31, 2015 represents customer relationship, production and supply contracts and internally developed software. These intangible assets were determined by management to meet the criterion for recognition apart from goodwill and have finite lives. The Company uses judgment in assessing whether the carrying amount of its intangible assets is not expected to be recoverable over their estimated remaining useful lives. Amortization expense associated with these intangible assets was $3,532, $4,632 and $5,370 for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively and is recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses except for production and supply contracts which is recorded against the associated revenues.

The Company has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. It does have intangible assets which are amortized. The following table summaries the changes in the Company's goodwill and other intangibles for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
