Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

Note 12. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Our goodwill increased by $71,000 during the first quarter of 2013 due to the post-closing purchase price adjustment payments relating to our acquisitions of UOS and FSI. As part of the acquisition of UOS, we acquired the rights to purchase a tug/barge unit. In applying purchase accounting, an intangible asset was established based on favorable contractual lease payments as compared to market rates and another intangible asset was established based on a comparison of the contractual early buy-out purchase price as compared to the estimated fair value at the end of the lease term. As a result of the early buy-out in September 2013, we reclassified $11.3 million of intangible assets related to the favorable early buy-out to the new cost basis of the tug/barge unit.

Amortization expense was $1.5 million and $643,875 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, amortization expense was $4.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The following table presents details of goodwill and other intangible assets as of September 30, 2013:
