2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
recognized.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of acquired technology, including developed and core technology, customer related assets, trade name and trademark and other
intangible assets. Those intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight line basis over their expected lives in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("ASC 350"). On an annual basis, the Company reviews its
indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment based on the fair value of indefinite lived intangible assets as compared to the carrying value in accordance
with ASC 350. In the event the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets, the assets are written down to their fair value. There has been no
impairment of intangible assets during any of the periods presented.
Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually on June 30th and whenever events and circumstances
occur indicating goodwill might be impaired. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company reviewed the goodwill for impairment and determined that no
impairment of goodwill was identified during any of the periods presented.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets ("ASC 360"), the
Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book
value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to such assets. Impairment, if any, is recognized in the period of identification
to the extent the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the fair value of such asset. Based on its analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of its long-
lived assets was indicated as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity
The Company issues financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company accounts for these arrangements in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 480, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity ("ASC 480"), as well as related interpretations of this standard.
Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded
derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("ASC 815") as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative
instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings.
