Following the establishment of the Enterprise and Consumer segments, management evaluated the long-term business strategy of each segment. This resulted in the Enterprise segment narrowing its focus on the military and other government agencies.

The Company completes a formal evaluation of the carrying value of its intangible assets, including goodwill, at the end of each fiscal year.
