Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

			Accumulated			Net
	Gross		Impairment			Carrying
	Amount		Loss			Value
December 31, 2014	$	23,019,309	$	(22,045,382	)	$	973,927
March 31, 2015	$	23,019,309	$	(22,045,382	)	$	973,927

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least once a year. Carrying values are compared with fair values, and when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

Changes in the carrying amount of intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2015 were as follows:

	Carrying		Accumulated
	Amount		Amortization			Net
December 31, 2014	$	14,524,500	$	(5,444,105	)	$	9,080,395
Amortization		—		(514,556	)		(514,556	)
March 31, 2015	$	14,524,500	$	(5,958,661	)	$	8,565,839

Intangible assets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 include the following:

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $514,556 and $513,867 respectively.

Amortization expense for the next five years related to these intangible assets is expected to be as follows:
