Intangible Assets

The Company’s 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, software, 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; software -- 5 years, and covenant not to compete – 4 years. Goodwill is not amortized, but evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis.

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company purchased software for $1,500,000. The Company has the option to pay for the software in cash or in 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock during the six month period after acquiring the software. At March 31, 2015, the Company had not made any payments towards the purchase of this software and has reflected the $1,500,000 purchase price for the software in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
