Intangible Assets

Note 2 – Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (“FASB ASC 350”), which requires that intangibles with indefinite useful lives be tested annually for impairment and those with finite useful lives be amortized over their useful lives.

In March 2017, the Company acquired Efftel Telecoms Ltd. (“Efftel”) and recorded intangible assets of $1,074,000. Those intangible assets were estimated as $974,000 for the customer list and $100,000 for non-compete agreements. The amounts will be adjusted upon the completion of a valuation.

Details of the Company’s intangible assets are as follows:

		March 31, 2017							December 31, 2016

¹Amortization through December 31, 2001 prior to adoption of FASB ASC 350.

The customer lists are amortized over seven and ten years; the patents over 18 years; the non-compete agreements over five years; software over three years; and other intangible assets over fifteen years. Amortization of intangible assets amounted to $99,000 and $102,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Estimated annual amortization of intangibles is as follows: $456,000 in 2017, and $476,000 in each of 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
