Business Separation [Text Block]

3.  MATERIALS TECHNOLOGIES SEPARATION

On 16 September 2015, the Company announced that it intends to separate its Materials Technologies business via a spin-off. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we incurred legal and other advisory fees of $7.5 ($.03 per share). These fees are reflected on the consolidated income statements as “Business separation costs.” The results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of the Materials Technologies business will continue to be presented within our consolidated financial statements as continuing operations until the Board of Directors approves the final separation and the spin-off occurs, at which point in time the financial presentation of the historical results of this business will be reflected as a discontinued operation.
