﻿ Our goodwill balance at August 31, 2016 was generated from the fiscal 2009 acquisition of CoveyLink Worldwide, LLC (CoveyLink), the fiscal 2013 acquisition of Ninety Five 5, LLC (Ninety Five 5), and the fiscal 2014 acquisition of Red Tree, Inc. The previous owners of CoveyLink, which includes a brother of one of our executive officers, were entitled to earn annual contingent payments based upon earnings growth over the subsequent five years. These contingent payments were classified as goodwill on our consolidated balance sheets when paid according to previously existing business combination guidance. During fiscal 2015, we made a $0.3 million final payment based on the results of a reassessment of the terms and conditions of the CoveyLink acquisition. Our consolidated goodwill changed as follows during fiscal 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
﻿ |  |
﻿ |  |
﻿Balance at August 31, 2014 | $ | 19,641
﻿Contingent consideration payment on |  |
﻿CoveyLink acquisition |  | 262
﻿Accumulated impairments |  | -
﻿Balance at August 31, 2015 |  | 19,903
﻿Accumulated impairments |  | -
﻿Balance at August 31, 2016 | $ | 19,903
﻿ In connection with the reorganization or our internal reporting structure during fiscal 2016, we allocated our goodwill to the new reportable operating segments based on their relative fair values as follows (in thousands): ﻿
﻿ |  |
﻿ |  |
﻿Direct offices | $ | 10,790
﻿Strategic markets |  | 2,930
﻿Education practice |  | 2,176
﻿International licensees |  | 4,007
﻿ | $ | 19,903
﻿ The goodwill generated by the Red Tree and Ninety Five 5 acquisitions are primarily attributable to the organization, methodologies, and curriculums that complement our existing practices and content. All of the goodwill generated from the acquisition of Red Tree and Ninety Five 5 is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
