2. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.

 

Goodwill includes the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $2,832,000 in connection with the SOAdesk LLC acquisition in fiscal 2010.  The Codification requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value.

 

Pursuant to recent authoritative accounting guidance, the Company elects to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test is performed. The first step, identifying a potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, the second step would need to be conducted; otherwise, no further steps are necessary as no potential impairment exists. The second step is measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities of the reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of goodwill, which is compared with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Any excess of the goodwill carrying value over the respective implied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. Through September 30, 2014, no indicator of impairment of goodwill has been identified.

 

The Company’s intangible asset, consisting of software acquired from SOAdesk, LLC, in the amount of $2,103,000 was being amortized over its estimated useful life of 3 years ended March 31, 2013. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $28,000, resulting in the intangible asset being fully amortized.
