NOTE 9 – INTANGIBLES

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, intangible assets were comprised of (i) the carrying value of cannabis license fees, and (ii) goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions.

The Company’s cannabis licenses are issued from the states of Illinois and Massachusetts and require the payment of annual fees. These fees, comprised of a fixed component and a variable component based on the level of operations, are capitalized and amortized over the respective twelve-month periods. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of these cannabis licenses approximated $453,000 and $161,000, respectively.

The goodwill associated with acquisitions is reviewed on a quarterly basis for impairment. Based on this review and other factors, the goodwill of approximately $2.1 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was deemed to be unimpaired.
