During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, due to the loss of key personnel and the continued decline in year-over-year revenues due primarily to continued slowdown in domestic government spending as well as a decline in sales of its legacy products, management concluded that these events and circumstances were indicators to require us to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis of our Transition Networks reporting unit. This analysis included the determination of the reporting unit’s fair value primarily using discounted cash flows modeling. Based on the step one and step two analysis, considering Transition Networks’ reduced earnings and cash flow forecasts, the Company determined that Transition Networks’ goodwill was fully impaired and recorded a goodwill impairment for this segment of $5,850,000. This analysis was the result of a level 3 fair value measurement.

The Company’s identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized over their estimated useful lives and are included within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and were as follows:
