The changes in the gross goodwill balance since June 30, 2013 resulted from the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a privately-held company and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination.
The Company has four reporting units: Defect Inspection, Metrology, Service and Other. As of March 31, 2014, substantially all of the goodwill balance resided in the Defect Inspection reporting unit. The goodwill from the acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was included in Defect Inspection reporting unit.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment of the goodwill by reporting unit as of November 30, 2013 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying amount. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's assessment indicated that goodwill in the reporting units was not impaired. There have been no significant events or circumstances affecting the valuation of goodwill subsequent to the qualitative assessment performed in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. The next annual assessment of the goodwill by reporting unit will be performed in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.
