ACQUISITION [Abstract]  
ACQUISITION
2.     ACQUISITION
 
On January 16, 2009, the Company acquired all of the shares of capital stock of Integrated Technologies, Inc. (“Intec”), an Everett, Washington-based provider of advanced materials testing, manufacturing and design services to the aerospace, defense and transportation industries.  Intec's primary business is designed to support composite testing, manufacturing and research by analyzing new and existing materials, including organic matrix composites, ceramics, metal matrix composites and metal.  The acquisition was funded by the Company's existing credit facility and was accounted for in accordance with the guidance related to business combinations that was effective January 1, 2009.  Operating results of Intec have been included in the Company's Aerostructures segment from the date of acquisition, and acquisition related costs were expensed.  The pro-forma operating results, as if the Company had completed the acquisition at the beginning of the periods presented, are not significant to the Company's operations and are not presented.

Management believes the acquisition of Intec, together with other initiatives, will provide composite assembly and component production capabilities to the Company, which will allow the Company to broaden its customer offerings and to use Intec's skilled workforce in both the Aerostructures and Engineering Services segments to expand into the production of non-metallic products.  As such, significant synergies are expected to result from the acquisition.  The Company performed a valuation analysis to determine amounts allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including various intangible assets.
 
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for Intec at the date of acquisition:

The anticipated synergies from the transaction have resulted in the goodwill indicated above.  Of the $7,139 acquired intangible assets, $4,904 was assigned to customer relations with an original estimated useful life of 15 years; $1,680 was assigned to proprietary technology with a weighted average estimated useful life of 9.5 years; and the remaining $555 consists of trademarks and non-compete agreements and have a weighted average useful life of 5.8 years.  The fair value of the customer relationships and non-compete agreements was determined using the discounted cash flow method.  The fair value of the trademarks and proprietary technologies was determined using the relief from royalty method.  Refer to Note 7 for a discussion on the contingent consideration assumed with the acquisition.
