Note 6 - Intangible Assets

At March 31, 2014, intangible assets comprised New Dawn’s purchased software and customer relationship costs of $6,963,000 (net of the accumulated amortization expenses of $2,537,000) and ISD’s purchased software and customer relationship costs of $13,228,000 (net of accumulated amortization expenses of $1,747,000). These identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over five years for financial statement purposes due to the short life cycle of technology that customer relationships depend on, and over a 15 year period on a straight line basis for tax purposes. The intangible amortization expenses were $2,419,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 as compared with $635,000 in the prior year period.
