Intangible Assets

Costs associated with the acquisition of patents, trademarks, trade names, customer relationships, regulatory approvals & product certifications, license rights and non-compete agreements are capitalized, and are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 5 to 20 years. UTMD’s goodwill is tested for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter of each year, in accordance with ASC 350. UTMD also performs impairment tests contemporaneously, if circumstances change that would more than likely reduce the fair value of goodwill below its net book value.  If UTMD determines that its goodwill is impaired, a second step is completed to measure the amount of the impairment loss. UTMD does not expect its goodwill to become impaired in the foreseeable future.  Estimated future amortization expenses on intangible assets held as of December 31, 2019, using the 2019 year-end 1.3268 USD/GBP and.7030 USD/AUD currency exchange rates, is about $6,550 in 2020, $6,543 in 2021, $6,542 in 2022, $5,805 in 2023, and $2,121 in 2024 (see note 2).
