ENTERPRISE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM RECOVERABILITY

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we determined that the enterprise resource management system (the “ERP system”) implemented in November 2010 was not appropriate for long-term use based on certain functionalities not performing as represented. After discussions with the ERP system provider, we received a partial refund of $40,000 subsequent to April 30, 2011, which was applied to the carrying amount of the software. Subsequent to the change in carrying amount, we evaluated the asset for existence of impairment. After determining that impairment existed, we evaluated recoverability by comparing undiscounted cash flows provided by the ERP system to the carrying value of the asset. Since an ERP system is integral to the operations of our business, entity level cash flows were used in this test. Since we expected to generate undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amount of the software, no impairment loss adjustment was necessary. A new ERP system was implemented on November 1, 2012.
