The Company’s intangible assets were acquired as a result of the acquisitions of Kablooe and IPS in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2018, respectively, and are amortized over their expected useful lives. The useful lives are 15 years for the trademarks and 8 years for the customer relationships. The intangible assets are held under the design segment of our business. During Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, the Company recorded amortization expense related to intangible assets of $167,000 and $162,000, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

At September 30, 2020, estimated amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets for each of the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill resulted from the acquisitions of Kablooe and IPS in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2018, respectively. All of the Company’s goodwill is held under the design segment of our business. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

During Fiscal 2020, the Company experienced triggering events that prompted the testing of its goodwill for impairment. Those triggering events included the reduction in fair value of the IPS contingent earn-out consideration discussed in Note 6 and revised revenue and operational projections for IPS for the later part of Fiscal 2020 and future periods. Based on these factors, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the IPS reporting unit had declined below its carrying amount. The Company then calculated the fair value of this reporting unit using Level 3 inputs, which is a combination of asset-based, income and market approaches. These estimates and assumptions included discount rate, terminal growth rate, selection of peer group companies and control premium applied as well as forecasts of revenue growth rates, gross margins, operating margins, and working capital requirements. Any changes in the judgments, estimates, or assumptions used could produce significantly different results. We concluded the IPS reporting unit’s fair value was below its carrying value by $1,015,000 and an impairment charge was recognized for this amount in Fiscal 2020. The Company performed the annual goodwill impairment test for Fiscal 2019 and determined there was no impairment.

Below is the rollforward of goodwill for the design segment, the only reportable segment with goodwill:

	Design Segment			Consolidated
Balance at September 30, 2019	$	2,183,000		$	2,183,000
