NOTE 8 – GOODWILL

 

The Company acquired ZBB Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, through a series of transactions in March 1996.  The goodwill amount of $1.134 million, the difference between the price paid for ZBB Technologies, Inc. and the net assets of the acquisition, amortized through fiscal 2002, resulted in the net goodwill amount of $803,079 as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

 

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC topic 350-20, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Goodwill” under which goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. The implied fair value of goodwill is the amount determined by deducting the estimated fair value of all tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of the reporting unit to which goodwill has been allocated from the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the recorded value of goodwill exceeds its implied value, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess.
