Land		$	2,734			$	2,713
Plant and buildings			82,390				81,755

Less accumulated depreciation			(26,651	)			(23,066	)
Total net property, plant & equipment		$	79,360			$	66,370

Depreciation on the components of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives as follows:

	Years
Plant and buildings		20 - 30
Machinery and equipment		5 - 7
Furniture and fixtures		3 - 5

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $1.2 million for each period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $3.5 million for each period.

Management is required to evaluate these long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Management determined there was no impairment of long-lived assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
