Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

The following presents certain information regarding our intangible assets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives with no estimated residual values.

Since the filing of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have made an adjustment to the preliminary fair value amounts recognized as of our acquisition of Barcrest Group Limited ("Barcrest") on September 23, 2011 to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. The adjustment resulted in an increase in goodwill and decrease in inventory of approximately $2,000. We have applied the adjustment retrospectively to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011, as previously reported in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
