Research and development expenditures in 2010 and 2011 were 1,200,000 and 2,200,000 respectively. In calculating EVA, prior research and development will be capitalized and amortized assuming a three-year life (i.e., one-third will be expensed in the year occurred, and two-thirds will be capitalized and expensed in the following two years).
