The Companys intangible assets consist of licenses for the use of Internet domain names, Universal Resource Locators, or URLs, capitalized website development costs, other information technology licenses, a covenant not to compete, and marketing and technology related intangibles acquired through the acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc. In addition as a result of the acquisition of MEI, the Company recorded goodwill of $1,169,904. All such assets are capitalized at their original cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows: domain name and marketing - 3 to 20 years; website and technology - 3 to 5 years; and covenant not to compete 4 years. Goodwill is not amortized, but evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis.

The following summarizes estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets that have net balances as of September 30, 2014:
Total amortization expense related to intangible assets was $441,978 and $234,751 for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
