Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

As required, the Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the October fiscal month or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its reporting units below their carrying value.

The Company's reporting unit related to technology that had been deemed substantially impaired during the fourth quarter of 2013 was deemed fully impaired during the nine months ended September 27, 2014 as a result of the closing of the facility. This resulted in a $1.0 million impairment charge to goodwill.

The following information presents changes to goodwill during the nine months ended September 27, 2014 (in millions):
