Aspen’s intangible assets relate to trademarks, contracts to sell products through independent broker and agents (Agency Relationships), an agreement for renewal rights with Liberty Specialty Markets Limited, non-compete agreements and licenses to trade in the U.S. and U.K. In addition, Aspen has recognized goodwill of $2.1 million on the acquisition of equity voting interest of Blue Waters, a specialist marine insurance agency in October 2016 and of $1.8 million on the purchase in January 2017 of 49% share of Digital Re, a digital risk and specialty insurer. The “Aspen” trademark, valued at $1.4 million, goodwill and insurance licenses are considered to have an indefinite life and are tested annually for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that these assets might be impaired. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company performed its annual qualitative assessment and determined that it was not more likely than not that these were impaired. The remaining intangible assets, including the “Blue Waters” trademark valued at $0.2 million, were estimated to have an economic useful life of 5 years. The Company amortizes the estimated value of these assets over their estimated useful life which is included as an expense in the income statement.
