The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $14,670,446 as a result of the acquisitions of EthoStream and SSI during the year ended December 31, 2007.   The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the reporting units to which this goodwill relates at least once a year. We utilize a discounted cash flow valuation methodology (income approach) to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. Since acquisition, the Company has written off $3,000,000 and $5,874,016 of goodwill for Ethostream and Smart Systems International, respectively.
