Operating costs, excluding the goodwill impairment, have decreased by $7,363 due to a focus on reducing costs, a reduction in headcount in Medicsight and foreign exchange movements in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. A fall in the value of sterling from $1.95:£1.00 to $1.54:£1.00 has reduced reportable costs by approximately $3,200 using the average exchange rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as the majority of our costs are incurred in sterling in Medicsight.
In the period between December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, the market value of Medicsight plc, as traded on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, declined from $53,000 to $13,200. Following this decline in value we conducted an impairment test of goodwill as of March 31, 2009. Due to the uncertainties involved in using the unobservable inputs to estimate future cash flows, we used market price inputs as the basis of our impairment review. As a result of this test we determined that the carrying amount of Medicsight plc exceeded its fair value and recorded an impairment loss of $12,157 during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
We have generated revenues of $183 and gross profit of $180 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $257 and $141 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Medicsight increased revenues in the period and Medicexchange’s decreased.
