Property and equipment and long-lived assets

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements, if any, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease period or the estimated useful life. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in the business, generally in conjunction with the annual business planning cycle, and when events and circumstances otherwise warrant. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value for assets to be held and used. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved. There was no impairment recognized during the nine month ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
