Capitalized Computer Software, Net [Abstract] |
Product Software Development Expenditures | PRODUCT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES The Company follows the guidance of ASC 985-20 “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed” when capitalizing software development costs associated with software embedded in or to be incorporated into its products. The cost of purchased software technology is capitalized and stated at the lower of unamortized cost or expected net realizable value. Software is subject to rapid technological obsolescence and future revenue estimates supporting the capitalized software cost can be negatively affected based upon competitive products, services and pricing. Such adverse developments could reduce the estimated net realizable value of our product software development costs and could result in impairment or a shorter estimated life. Such events would require us to take a charge in the period in which the event occurs or to increase the amortization expense in future periods and would have a negative effect on our results of operations. At a minimum, we review for impairment on a quarterly basis. The Company launched a new product offering in 2012 and began amortization of the related capitalized software. Amortization was being recorded over a three year period or a fixed amount per unit sold, whichever is greater. In the quarter ending December 31, 2013, the Company determined that the capitalized software needed to be replaced by a new architecture under development. As a result, the remaining asset value of $2,308,752 was expensed as of December 31, 2013 (charged to the Consolidated Statements of Operations line item titled "Impairment of capitalized software, inventory, and related items" which is detailed in Note 4). The Company continues to believe in the viability of this technology but has temporarily suspended its research and development effort until the base business is restored to more profitable levels. Changes in the product software development costs net of accumulated amortization were as follows:
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, |  | Balance, beginning of year |  | Amortization charged to expense |  | Impairment charged to expense |  | Balance, end of year
2014 |  | $ | 2,673,291 |  |  | (364,539 | ) |  | (2,308,752 | ) |  | $ | — |
2013 |  | $ | 4,231,609 |  |  | (1,558,318 | ) |  | — |  |  | $ | 2,673,291 |
