CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

For costs incurred related to the development of software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, we apply the provisions of ASC 985-20, Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed, which specifies that costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product should be charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs should be capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.

We capitalized $1.4 million and $1.3 million in software development costs for ongoing initiatives during the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. At June 28, 2014 and March 29, 2014, we have a total of $33.1 million and $31.7 million of software costs capitalized, of which $17.0 million and $15.6 million are related to in-process software development initiatives, respectively. The costs capitalized for each project are included in intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. We review these assets for impairment annually.
