NOTE 6.

GOODWILL:

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. The total value of the Company’s goodwill was $13.7 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

As per Company policy, goodwill impairment tests are conducted on an annual basis and any impairment is reflected in the Company’s Statements of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, as a result of performing our annual impairment testing, we determined that impairment existed on certain of our reporting units and recorded impairment charges amounting to $8.2 million as a result of our impairment testing. The full goodwill impairment on Virtuoso, Bigtech and Ameri Consulting Service Pvt. Ltd, and the partial goodwill impairment on Ameri Arizona were primarily driven by declines in estimated future cash flows to be generated by the reporting units as these reporting units that have experienced declining cash flows that what were expected at the time of each acquisition. The determination of the fair value of a reporting unit requires significant inputs, judgments and estimates. These fair value measurements, and related inputs, are considered to be Level 3 measures under the fair value hierarchy as further described in Note 12.
