Our subsidiaries operate as a single operating segment. The fair value of the goodwill is tested for impairment in the fourth quarter, after the annual forecasting process. Our annual forecasting resulted in impairment losses of $1,489,078 during the year ended December 31, 2014. We will perform our next earnings forecast during the fourth quarter of 2015, unless events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. The fair value of our goodwill was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows.
