INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
NOTE 6 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
The Company conducted its annual impairment test of intangible assets and goodwill as of June 30, 2011, and determined that there was no impairment. The Company also tests its intangible assets and goodwill between the annual impairment test if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company or its assets below their carrying amounts. No events have occurred since June 30, 2011 that would trigger further impairment testing of the Company’s intangible assets and goodwill.
Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $33,000 and $98,000, respectively, and $33,000 and $98,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Other intangible assets consist of an acquired customer list and a non-compete agreement.
