The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $8,796,430 as a result of the acquisition of EthoStream 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. The Company utilizes 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 of goodwill for EthoStream.
