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, 2023, using the 2023 year-end 1.2739 USD/GBP and 0.6825 USD/AUD currency exchange rates, is about $1,931 in 2024, $1,931 in 2025, $422 in 2026, $10 in 2027, and $8 in 2028 (see note 2).

 

In 2019, $21,000 in intangible assets were acquired from CSI.  This intangible asset was fully amortized in 2023 (see note 15).
