In accordance with ASC 350, the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets, other than the purchased licensed technology and the membership list for Stratus, are considered to have indefinite lives and are therefore not amortized, but rather are subject to annual impairment tests. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is December 31, but the Company monitors the facts and circumstances for all intangible properties and will record impairment if warranted by adverse changes in facts and circumstances.

The purchased licensed technology and membership list are amortized over their estimated useful life of 10 years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization was $34,057 and $34,057, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, amortization was $11,353 and $11,353, respectively.
