Property and Equipment

As property and equipment reach the end of their useful lives, the fully expired assets are written off against the associated accumulated depreciation and amortization.

When assets are disposed of before reaching the end of their useful lives both the recorded cost of the fixed asset and the corresponding amount of accumulated depreciation is reversed. Any remaining difference between the two, net of proceeds, is recognized as either other income or expense. There was no expense impact for such write-offs for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022.

Software consisted of the following:

	January 31, 2023		April 30, 2022
Software	$	11,306,700	$	10,285,096
Accumulated amortization	(6,596,730)		(5,170,943)
