NOTE 10 – INTANGIBLES

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, intangible assets were comprised of (i) the carrying value of cannabis license fees, and (i) goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisition of the KPGs and Mari-IL as discussed in Note 3 – 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying value of these cannabis licenses approximated $161,000 and $296,000, respectively.

The goodwill associated with the acquisition of the KPGs and Mari-IL is reviewed on a quarterly basis for impairment. Since the date of acquisition, the KPGs have contributed approximately $30.7 million of revenue and $6.8 million of pretax income. Based on this and other factors, the goodwill of approximately $2.1 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was deemed to be unimpaired.
