Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 8. Goodwill and Intangibles Assets

Goodwill at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $28,403,000 and $29,212,000, respectively. The decrease in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $809,000 was due to foreign currency fluctuations. Gross goodwill before impairments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $30,152,000 and $30,961,000, respectively.

The Company’s goodwill and acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to an annual impairment test. The Company performs an impairment analysis on its goodwill and intangible assets at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Acquired intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment only when impairment indicators are present.

The following sets forth the intangible assets by major asset class (dollars in thousands):
