Changes in the carrying value of intangible assets is due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, acquisition and divestiture activities and the reclassification of certain tradenames from indefinite lived intangibles to amortizable intangibles.

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets was $6.9 million and $19.8 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2011, respectively, and $5.3 million and $16.1 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2010, respectively. The Company estimates that amortization expense will approximate $6.7 million for the remainder of fiscal 2011 (excluding the recent Weasler acquisition). Amortization expense for future years is estimated to be as follows: $26.0 million in fiscal 2012, $24.3 million in 2013, $23.3 million in fiscal 2014, $23.3 million in fiscal 2015 and $176.8 million thereafter. These future amortization expense amounts represent estimates, which may change based on future acquisitions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates or other factors.
