The Company monitors the financial stability of these institutions regularly and management does not believe there is significant credit risk associated with deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.   Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that it believes to be uncollectible.  If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.  Based on the information available to it, the Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.   The following is a summary of changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts (in thousands):   <table style="text-align:left;TEXT-ALIGN: left;

It will continue to monitor for any impairment indicators such as underperformance of projected earnings, net book value compared to market capitalization, declining stock price and significant adverse economic and industry trends.  In the event that either testing unit does not achieve projected results, or, as the result of changes in facts of circumstances, the Company could incur an additional goodwill impairment charge in a future period.   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets   The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. The Company’s cash flow estimates are based on restated, historical results adjusted to reflect its best estimate of future market and operating conditions. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value.   These estimates of fair value represent management’s best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.  During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company determined that the future cash flows of its Zemel Road generating facility were likely to be less than initially anticipated, due to lower than projected gas flow rates and higher than expected operating costs.  As a result the fair market value was determined to be less than the Company’s current carrying value, indicating an impairment of this asset’s value.   On February 28, 2013, the Company sold its ESCO business. The sales price received upon the sale of this business was less than the Company’s carrying value as of December 31, 2013, indicating that the asset was partially impaired.  The Company therefore reduced the carrying value of the assets associated with this business during the fourth quarter of 2012, recoding an impairment loss in the process.   During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company determined that as a result of a significant deterioration in the performance of its C&I reporting unit, that the reporting unit’s goodwill was impaired.  This determination caused it to test the carrying values of the reporting unit’s long-lived assets for impairment.  This test concluded that the net book value of the long-lived assets were not impaired.   Intangible Assets   The Company’s finite life intangible assets are comprised of technology and software and gas-rights.  Finite life intangible assets are amortized based on the timing of expected economic benefits associated with the asset over their estimated useful lives.  The Company has generally used estimated useful lives of five to seven years for technology and software and the corresponding term of gas-rights agreements, which is 20 years.   For all amortizable intangible assets, if any events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the Company will perform an impairment review based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis. Impairment occurs when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows. When impairment is indicated, the estimated future cash flows are then discounted to determine the estimated fair value of the asset and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the net present value of estimated future cash flows. The Company also evaluates the remaining useful life during each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.   On February 28, 2013, the Company sold its ESCO business. The sales price received upon the sale of this business was less than the Company’s carrying value as of December 31, 2013, indicating that the asset was partially impaired.  As part of the adjustment to reduce the carrying value of the assets of this business to the implied fair value, it wrote off all of the intangibles assets associated with the business.   Revenue Recognition   The Company recognizes revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence has been received that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services has occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.  In addition, the Company follows the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which sets forth guidelines in the timing of revenue recognition based upon factors such as passage of title, installation, payments and customer acceptance.  Any amounts received prior to satisfying the Company’s revenue recognition criteria is recorded as Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.   The Company utilizes the percentage of completion method to recognize revenue in conjunction with the cost-to-cost method of measuring the extent of progress toward completion, consistent with ASC 605-35, “Construction Type and Production Type Contracts” and the AICPA’s Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1).  Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to operations as soon as they are determinable.   Billings on contracts that do not meet the Company’s revenue recognition policy requirements for which it has been paid or has a valid account receivable are recorded as “Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts” (“Billings in Excess”). Billings in Excess totaled $1.5 million and $5.0 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.   Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts   As of December 31, 2012, the Company had customer projects underway for which it had incurred costs but not yet recognized revenue due to its revenue recognition policies, or had recognized revenue but not yet invoiced the customer.  The Company records these expenses and unbilled revenue as a current asset titled “Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts.” The expenses included in this account will be recognized as the related projects are completed and revenue is recognized.  The Company had Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts of $3.7 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.   Advertising, Marketing and Promotional Costs   Expenditures on advertising, marketing and promotions are charged to operations in the period incurred and totaled $218,000 and $275,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.   Income Taxes   Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable earnings.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.   Net Loss Per Share   The Company computes loss per share under ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share.”  This statement requires presentation of two amounts; basic and diluted loss per share.  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share would include all common stock equivalents unless anti-dilutive.  For periods when such inclusion would not be anti-dilutive, the Company uses the treasury method to calculate the diluted earnings per share.  The treasury stock method assumes that the Company uses the proceeds from the exercise of in-the-money options and warrants to repurchase common stock at the average market price for the period. Options and warrants are only dilutive when the average market price of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants.   The Company has not included the outstanding options, warrants or convertible debt as common stock equivalents when calculating the diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.   The following table sets forth the weighted average shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and convertible debt that is not included in the basic and diluted loss per share available to common stockholders:   <table style="text-align:left;TEXT-ALIGN: left;
