Impairment evaluation

The Company evaluated its goodwill and other intangible assets of all reporting units for impairment as of March 31, 2014 and 2013. When performing the goodwill impairment evaluation, the Company determined the fair value of its APM and Mainframe reporting units using both a discounted cash flow analysis and a market approach (derived from multiples of revenue from comparable companies and with respect to the APM reporting unit, a comparison to market transactions for comparable businesses). The inputs to the valuation include use of market data for comparable companies (level 2), as well as data that is not observable in the market (level 3). The Company determined the fair value of its application services reporting unit based on the market value for the Covisint shares as of March 31, 2014. See note 4 for additional information regarding level of inputs. No reporting units were impaired at March 31, 2014.

As discussed in Note 2, we have treated the operations of certain business segments as discontinued operations. The results for all periods have been restated to reflect such treatment.

Capitalized software amortization related to our on-premises software is reported as “cost of software license fees”, amortization related to our hosted software is reported as “cost of subscription fees” and amortization related to our application services is reported as “cost of application services” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Customer relationship amortization related to our software solutions segments is reported as “sales and marketing” and amortization related to our application services segment is reported as “cost of application services” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Amortization expense associated with trademarks and trade names related to our software solutions segments is reported as “cost of software license fees” and amortization related to our application services segment is reported as “cost of application services” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Based on the capitalized software, customer relationship and other intangible assets recorded through March 31, 2014, the annual amortization expense over the next five fiscal years and thereafter is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended March 31,
