Based on the amortized intangible assets balance at June 30, 2013, amortization expense expected to be recorded in the future is as follows: $4.8 million for the remainder of 2013; $2.2 million in 2014; $2.1 million in 2015; $1.8 million in 2016; $1.8 million in 2017; and $16.1 million thereafter.

The change in goodwill and in the gross value of amortized intangible assets during each period is due to the acquisition of Kenny Construction Company (“Kenny”). See Note 17 for further details.
