Impairment Charges
Impairment Charges	Impairment Charges During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred impairment charges totaling $4.5 million, $7.6 million, and $15.8 million, respectively. The impairment charges are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations line item “Write down of long-lived assets” in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012. The Company's restructuring of its Evora, Portugal manufacturing operations, is expected to be substantially complete by June 30, 2014. As a part of the ongoing restructuring activities, the Company has relocated certain Solid Capacitor manufacturing operations from the Evora, Portugal facility to a manufacturing facility in Mexico and the remaining Solid Capacitor equipment in Portugal will be disposed. During fiscal year 2013, using an income approach to estimate the fair value of assets to be disposed, the Company incurred impairment charges totaling $3.1 million ($0.07 per basic and diluted share) related to the Solid Capacitors restructuring activities. In fiscal year 2014 Solid Capacitors incurred $3.9 million ($0.09 per basic and diluted share) in additional impairment charges due to a decrease in forecasted revenues. In addition, during fiscal year 2014, the Company incurred impairment charges totaling $0.6 million ($0.01 per basic and diluted share) related to Film and Electrolytic manufacturing equipment in Italy. Also in fiscal year 2013, in connection with the consolidation of two manufacturing facilities within Italy, the Company incurred impairment charges totaling $4.2 million ($0.09 per basic and diluted share) related to the Film and Electrolytic Business Group ("Film and Electrolytic"). The Company obtained appraisals for each of these facilities indicating there was a decrease in the market price of the manufacturing facilities, and therefore, the carrying amounts for these manufacturing facilities were reviewed for recoverability. It was determined that the carrying amounts of the manufacturing facilities were not recoverable since they exceeded the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). The impairment was measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeded its fair value. The Company utilized the market approach to estimate fair value of the long-lived asset group. In addition, in fiscal year 2013 the Company incurred a $0.3 million ($0.01 per basic and diluted share) charge related to the write-off of a trademark which is no longer utilized. During fiscal year 2012, the Company incurred impairment charges totaling $15.8 million ($0.36 per basic share and $0.30 per diluted share) related to Solid Capacitors. Certain Solid Capacitors equipment was disposed of since the equipment could not meet customer demands for lower Equivalent Series Resistance capacitors. The impairment amount of $15.8 million was the carrying amount of the equipment, less the scrap value net of disposal costs.
