GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS [Abstract]

Note 12.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets were acquired in the FTW and Tiffin, Ohio acquisitions. The fair value of the intangible assets related to the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility acquisition are currently recorded at their preliminary estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition (see Note 10 for a more detailed discussion). Following is detailed information regarding the Company's intangible assets (amounts in thousands):

	September 25, 2015							December 31, 2014
	Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Amortizable:
Customer lists	$	21,259	$	(702	)	$	20,557	$	3,760	$	(157	)	$	3,603
Unamortizable:
Goodwill		8,377		-			8,377		2,556		-			2,556
Tradenames		596		-			596		306		-			306
Total	$	30,232	$	(702	)	$	29,530	$	6,622	$	(157	)	$	6,465

The amounts in the above table vary from those previously reported in the prior Form 10-Q due to new information that became available to management in the three months ended September 25, 2015, which resulted in an additonal $6.0 million being allocated to customer lists, with the offset to goodwill.

Customer lists have a 20 year useful life.

For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015, the Company recorded amortization expense on intangible assets of $304,000 and $545,000, respectively. Amortization expense of $47,000 and $108,000 was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2014, respectively.
