We complete our annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each year unless events or circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. There were no indications of impairment present during the period ended December 31, 2011. Because there were no indications of impairment present, the Company did not book an impairment in the period ended December 31, 2011. In the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company determined that there was an impairment of intangible assets, amounting to $4,482. Fair value is defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures as, “The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”. The Company considered a number of valuation approaches and methods and applied the most appropriate methods from the income, and market approaches to derive an opinion of value. Under the income approach, the Company utilized the discounted cash flow method, and under the market approach, consideration was given to the guideline public company method, the merger and acquisition method, and the market capitalization method.
