The gross amount of assets recorded under capital leases totaled $15,316 as of December 31, 2012 and is included in the related property, plant and equipment categories. No material amortization expense nor accumulated amortization has been reported in the financial statements as all but one of the capital leases are due to the recent acquisition of Valent and were recorded at fair value and the aforementioned capital lease for certain equipment was not placed into service until December 31, 2012. The Company has appropriately split the deferred financing fees between the revolving credit facility and term loan facility and will amortize the fees over their respective terms.
