Goodwill – As discussed in Note 2, the Company’s recorded goodwill of $5,970,000 in its Corporate and other segment resulted from the Company’s acquisition of Eagle Alcohol. As part of the Company’s annual goodwill testing, it impaired the full amount of goodwill of $5,970,000 and recognized the amount in asset impairments in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company did not record any goodwill impairment for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Kinergy Tradename – The Company recorded tradename of $2,678,000 as part of the Company’s merger with Kinergy in 2006. The Company determined that the tradename has an indefinite life and therefore, rather than being amortized, will be tested annually for impairment. The Company did not record any impairment on its tradename for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Customer Relationships – The Company recorded customer relationships of $6,556,000 from the Company’s acquisition of Eagle Alcohol. See Note 2. The Company has established a useful life of twelve years for these customer relationships.

Eagle Alcohol Tradename – The Company recorded tradename of $420,000 from the Company’s acquisition of Eagle Alcohol. See Note 2. The Company has established a useful life of ten years for the tradename.

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets totaled $588,000 and $567,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The weighted-average unamortized life of the customer relationships and tradename is 9.9 years.
