Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets using the methodology prescribed in accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” The Company also reviews these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted future net cash flows from the operations to which the assets relate, based on management’s best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at the time, to the carrying amount of the assets. If the carrying value is determined not to be recoverable from future operating cash flows, the asset is deemed impaired and an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. In management’s opinion, no such impairment existed as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011

 

Goodwill - The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with the ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. ASC 350 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Additionally, ASC 350 requires that recognized intangible assets be amortized over their respective estimated lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.  Any recognized intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful lives will not be amortized, but instead tested for impairment until its life is determined to no longer be indefinite.  ASC 350 requires that the values of intangible assets be tested for impairment on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying amounts.  As a result of the impairment testing, the Company determined that goodwill was significantly impaired due to sales of Paragon Toner division. In management’s opinion, no goodwill existed as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011
