	Useful Life	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
	(Years)	(In thousands)
Intellectual property	6 to 15	$	2,460	$	(753	)	$	1,707

		At June 30, 2012
	Useful Life	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
	(Years)	(In thousands)
Intellectual property	6 to 15	$	2,460	$	(586	)	$	1,874
Customer based	1 to 15	2,657		(285		)	2,372
Non-compete agreements	3 to 5	547		(159		)	388
Total amortizing intangibles		5,664		(1,030		)	4,634

Total intangible assets		$	7,534	$	(1,030	)	$	6,504

The increase in other intangible assets at June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 is primarily due to the acquisition of certain assets of Pelichem. The Pelichem intangible assets consist of amortizing intangible assets including customer-based intangibles with a fair value of $1.6 million and a non-compete agreement with a fair value of $0.3 million. The weighted average amortization periods are anticipated to be 10 and 5 years, respectively. Please refer to Note 2 - Acquisitions for additional information.

Each reporting period, the Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized to determine whether facts and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Based on this analysis, Matrix revised its assumption of the useful life of the "EDC" trade name, which resulted in a reclassification of the asset from an indefinite-lived intangible to a finite-lived intangible with a five year useful life. This reclassification resulted in an impairment charge of $0.3 million which was recorded as a selling, general and administrative cost in the Industrial segment.

Amortization expense totaled $0.4 million and $0.5 million in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. Amortization expense is expected to be $0.7 million annually in fiscal 2014 to 2016 and $0.6 million in fiscal 2017 and 2018.
