The Company’s Trunity Platform technology was acquired from a related company, Trunity, LLC, and was valued at management’s best estimate of its value at that time of the transaction. Trunity, LLC was wholly owned by the three founders of the Company.  Subsequent internal costs capitalized consist of direct labor, including taxes and benefits.  Amortization of three years is based on management’s best estimate of useful life of current technology in this industry.
