The Company capitalizes certain computer software costs purchased from outside vendors for internal use. These costs also include configuration and customization activities, coding, testing and installation. Training costs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while upgrade and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that such expenditure will result in additional functionality. The capitalized costs are not depreciated until the software is placed into production.

 

On October 9, 2015, the Company concluded that a charge for impairment of the Company’s capitalized computer software costs, related to a contract entered into on November 1, 2012, was required under GAAP. The capitalized costs which were all incurred through the quarter ended June 30, 2015, included $1,287,460 of paid and $223,442 of accrued unpaid invoices from the software vendor, Insurance Systems, Inc. (“ISI”). The impact of this impairment to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations was a charge of $1,287,460 before income taxes in the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Company did not intend to pay the accrued unpaid invoices which have been reversed from the accrued expenses and other liabilities and capitalized computer software costs as of September 30, 2015. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” this impairment was reported as a subsequent event on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015. The decision to impair the asset was based on the Company’s beliefs that the ISI software had not achieved and would not be able to achieve the Company’s expected implementation targets and that the Company was unable to renegotiate the terms of its agreement with ISI. The fair value of the capitalized costs was deemed to be $0. The charge was included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
