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 or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company’s reporting units below their carrying value. 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 impaired $3,000,000 of goodwill for EthoStream. Consistent with previous interim reporting periods, the Company monitors qualitative and quantitative factors, including internal projections, periodic forecasts, and actual results of the reporting unit. Based upon this interim review, the Company does not believe that goodwill or its amortized identifiable intangible assets attributable to the EthoStream reporting unit are impaired.
