Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets — Goodwill at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $133.0 million. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment at least annually, or when events or circumstances suggest a potential impairment has occurred. We have selected the fourth quarter to perform this annual impairment test. We will evaluate goodwill for impairment between annual tests if indicators of impairment exist. There were no indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2014.

Amortizable intangible assets at September 30, 2014 primarily include customer related intangibles, technology based intangibles, contract based intangibles and marketing intangibles that resulted from our acquisition of Amcom in 2011 and IMCO Technologies Corporation (“IMCO”) in 2012. Such intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from two to ten years.

The gross carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets was $41.6 million at September 30, 2014 and the accumulated amortization was $20.4 million. The net consolidated balance of amortizable intangible assets consisted of the following:



		September 30, 2014
