Note 6 - Intangible Assets

At December 31, 2013, intangible assets comprised New Dawn’s purchased software and customer relationship costs of $7,438,000 (net of the accumulated amortization expenses of $2,062,000) and ISD’s purchased software and customer relationship costs of $13,977,000 (net of accumulated amortization expenses of $998,000). These identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over five years for financial statement purposes due to the short life cycle of technology that customer relationships depend on, and over a 15 year period on a straight line basis for tax purposes. The intangible amortization expenses were $1,195,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared with $159,000 in the prior year period.
