(7) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill:

 

The carrying value of goodwill of approximately $1,084,000 is not amortized, but is tested annually as of March 31 as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable using a two-step process. As of July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, management has concluded that no impairment of goodwill is required.

 

Intangible Assets:

 

Intangible assets with determinable lives, other than customer relationships and research and development are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated period of benefit, ranging from four to five years. Research and development and customer relationships are amortized over a two-year period at a rate of 65% of the gross value acquired in the first year subsequent to their acquisition and 35% of the gross value acquired in the second year. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets with definitive lives are subject to amortization. No impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented.

 

The Company estimates that it has no significant residual value related to its intangible assets. Acquired intangibles generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over weighted average lives. Intangible assets amortization expense for the three months ended July 31, 2013 totaled approximately $41,000. Intangible asset amortization was included in selling, general and administrative expense. The intangible assets were fully amortized in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014.
