Machinery and equipment includes certain precious metals used in our production tooling, which comprise approximately 16% and 15% of total machinery and equipment as of September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively. Precious metals used in our production tooling are depleted as they are consumed during the production process, which typically represents an annual expense of less than 3% of the outstanding carrying value.
