Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

6.	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 were as follows:


	Goodwill
	(Amounts in thousands)
Balance at January 31, 2015	$	41,008
Acquisition of Timeline Labs		17,246
Cumulative translation adjustment		(507	)

Balance at October 31, 2015	$	57,747

During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, we completed our annual testing for impairment of goodwill and, based on those tests, concluded that the estimated fair value of our goodwill exceeds the carrying value and therefore no impairment existed as of August 1, 2015. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgment and Estimates – Goodwill,” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for more information. While no impairment charges resulted from our annual test, impairment charges may occur in the future as a result of changes in projected growth and other factors. As of October 31, 2015, no triggering events have occurred that would indicate a potential impairment of goodwill exists.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, net, consisted of the following at October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015:
