Goodwill: The following table sets forth the change in the carrying amount of goodwill for each reportable segment and the Company:



	Industrial			Aerospace		Total Company
January 1, 2015	$	564,163		$	30,786	$	594,949
Acquisition-related	22,798			—		22,798
Foreign currency translation	(29,755		)	—		(29,755		)

December 31, 2016	$	602,650		$	30,786	$	633,436

Of the $633,436 of goodwill at December 31, 2016, $43,860 represents the original tax deductible basis.

The increase in goodwill of $73,688 during 2016 is due to the acquisition of FOBOHA on August 31, 2016, which is included in the Industrial segment. The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the benefits that the Company expects to realize from synergies created by combining the operations of FOBOHA, future enhancements to technology, geographical expansion and FOBOHA's assembled workforce. None of the recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The final purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments, therefore goodwill acquired may require adjustment accordingly.

Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets at December 31 consisted of:

The Company entered into Component Repair Programs ("CRPs") with General Electric ("GE") during the fourth quarter of 2013 ("CRP 1"), the second quarter of 2014 ("CRP 2") and the fourth quarter of 2015 ("CRP 3"). The CRPs provide for, among other items, the right to sell certain aftermarket component repair services for CFM56, CF6, CF34 and LM engines directly to other customers as one of a few GE licensed suppliers. In addition, the CRPs extend certain existing contracts under which the Company currently provides these services directly to GE.

The Company agreed to pay $26,639 as consideration for the rights related to CRP 1. Of this balance, the Company paid $16,639 in the fourth quarter of 2013, $9,100 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $900 in the first quarter of 2016.

The Company paid $41,000 in the second quarter of 2014, $20,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $19,000 in the second quarter of 2015. The Company agreed to pay $5,200 as consideration for the rights related to CRP 3. The Company paid $2,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $3,200 in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company recorded the CRP consideration as an intangible asset which is recognized as a reduction of sales over the remaining useful life of these engine programs.

In connection with the acquisition of FOBOHA in August 2016, the Company recorded intangible assets of $39,800, which includes $20,700 of customer relationships, $14,700 of patents and technology and $4,400 of an indefinite life trade name.
