The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to forecasted undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management has determined no asset impairment existed as of June 30, 2015. The Company recognized no loss on disposal of equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The Company recognized a loss on disposal of equipment in the amount of $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The Company has capitalized $59,000 and $55,000 of interest for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
