5. FIXED ASSETS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company capitalized approximately $4.9 million of MelaFind® system costs and as of September 30, 2013 the total capitalized cost of MelaFind® systems was approximately $11.2 million. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable. During the third quarter, the Company’s marketing shifted focus to large cancer centers and high risk patients, we have taken an impairment charge of approximately $1 million against our MelaFind® systems previously placed in locations that do not fit this profile. However, as these user agreements expire over the next 2 years, we anticipate that the affected systems will be redeployed in some capacity.
