Due to the significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of our assets, we have determined cost associated with the pending patent applications in numerous foreign geographic locations have been impaired.  As a result, during the year ended July 31, 2013, we reduced the carrying value of our patents and recorded a $551,000 patent impairment.  There were no patent impairments during our fiscal year ended July 31, 2014.

 

Patent amortization expense was $177,000 and $188,000 for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At July 31, 2014, the weighted average remaining amortization period for all patents was approximately eight years. The annual patent amortization expense for the next five years is estimated to be approximately $183,000 per year.
