Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 5 – Goodwill

Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. We consider many factors which may indicate the requirement to perform additional, interim impairment tests. These include:

· A significant adverse long term outlook for any of our industries;

· An adverse finding or rejection from a regulatory body involved in new product regulatory approvals;

· Failure of an anticipated commercialization product line;

· Unanticipated competition or a disruptive technology introduction;

· The testing for recoverability under the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of Subtopic 360-10 of a significant asset group within a reporting unit;

· A loss of key personnel; and

· An expectation that a reporting unit carrying goodwill, or a significant portion of a reporting unit, will be sold or otherwise disposed of.

There were no changes, aside from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, in the carrying value of goodwill during the nine months ended June 30, 2012.
