As a result of a decline in the Company’s stock price during the first three quarters of 2015, the Company concluded that this development was deemed a “triggering” event requiring that goodwill be tested for impairment as of September 30, 2015. The carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill was $8,101,661 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company performed the first step of the goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 in order to identify potential impairment by comparing its fair value to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value was determined using certain valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow analysis and an estimation of an implied control premium, in addition to the Company’s market capitalization on the measurement date. The implied control premium selected was developed based on certain observable market data of comparable companies. The market capitalization is sensitive to the volatility of the Company’s stock price. Based upon the first step of the goodwill impairment test performed as of September 30, 2015, the Company determined that the fair value was in excess of its carrying amount and therefore the second step of the goodwill impairment test was not required.
