The goodwill acquired during fiscal 2018 and 2017 relates to the acquisitions consummated in those respective years as described in Note 2, Acquisitions, and represents the residual value after the allocation of the total consideration to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The adjustments to goodwill represent immaterial measurement period adjustments to the purchase price allocation of certain fiscal 2017 acquisitions. The Company estimates that most of the goodwill acquired in fiscal 2018 and 2017 is deductible for income tax purposes. Based on the annual test for goodwill impairment as of October 31, 2018, the Company determined there is no impairment of its goodwill and the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units significantly exceeded their carrying value. Identifiable intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):
