 technology projects of significant size or length are reviewed at least annually for impairment. Accumulated costs are reviewed for projects or components of projects that do not support the value of the asset being developed.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the entire deferred tax asset may not be realized.
