Note 6 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Identifiable intangible assets 
     As discussed in Note 3, the Company recorded identifiable intangible assets totalling $3,390 in connection with its acquisition of NLEX in May 2014. Of this amount, $834 was assigned to Customer Relationships, $71 was assigned to a Non-Compete Agreement, $48 was assigned to NLEX’s Website and $2,437 was assigned to Trade Name. The Customer Relationships, Non-Compete Agreement and Website intangible assets are being amortized over 7.6, 2 and 5 years, respectively. The Trade Name intangible asset has an indefinite life, and therefore it is not being amortized.

     Similarly, in February 2012 the Company acquired HGP for a total purchase price of $7,080, of which $5,640 was assigned to identifiable intangible assets: $4,180 was assigned to Customer/Broker Network and $1,460 was assigned to Trade Name. These intangible assets are being amortized over 12 and 14 years; respectively. Based on the Company’s assessment at December 31, 2014, these assets were not impaired.

The details of all identifiable intangible assets are shown below:

    December 31,     December 31,

     Amortization expense during 2014 and 2013 was $543 and $453, respectively. No significant residual value is estimated for these intangible assets.

     The estimated amortization expense during the next five fiscal years is shown below:

Year   Amount  
2015 $ 607  
2016 $ 587  
2017 $ 572  
2018 $ 572  
2019 $ 566  

Goodwill 
     As part of its acquisition of Equity Partners in 2011, the Company recognized goodwill of $573, and as part of its acquisition of HGP in 2012, the Company recognized goodwill of $4,728.

     Additionally, as part of its acquisition of NLEX in the second quarter of 2014, the Company recognized goodwill of $3,545, as discussed in more detail in Note 3.

A summary of the good will is shown below:

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2014     2013  
             
Equity Partners $ 573   $ 573  
HGP   4,728     4,728  
NLEX   3,545      
Total goodwill $ 8,846   $ 5,301  

     No impairment resulted from the completion of the goodwill impairment tests at December 31, 2014, and there have been no events or changes in circumstances in 2014 that make it more likely than not that the carrying amount of this goodwill may be impaired.
