After discussions with the ERP system provider, we received a partial refund of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$40,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 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, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">no</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> impairment loss adjustment was necessary. A new ERP system was implemented on November 1, 2012.</font></div></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaTabular disclosure for impaired assets to be disposed of by a method other than sale.
