GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | NOTE 3. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill of $25.1 million at December 31, 2015 represents the excess of total acquisition costs over the fair market value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

In connection with business combination accounting, the Company recognized $1.6 million in a trade name related to the Riviera name. The trade name intangible asset was fully amortized by October 2013 at which time the Company renamed Riviera Black Hawk Casino to Monarch Casino Black Hawk. Customer lists were valued at $10.5 million, representing the value associated with the future potential customer revenue production and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over nine years. Intangible assets were valued using the income approach. The Multi-Period Excess Earning Method was used to value the customer list by capitalizing the future cash flows attributable to the customers based upon their expected future mortality dispersion function. The expected revenue from the existing client was estimated by applying a 24.0% attrition rate. To calculate excess earnings attributable to the customer list, the required return on other contributory assets such as tangible assets and identified intangible assets were deducted to estimate income associated with the customer list. The future excess earnings were discounted to the present value by a risk-adjusted discount rate of 12.0%, in order to determine the fair value of the customer list. The Relief-from-Royalty Method was used to determine the fair value of the trade name. Considering comparable companies and the Company’s operation, a 1.0% royalty rate was applied in order to calculate the expected revenue attributable to the trade name. The future cash flows were discounted to the present value by a risk-adjusted discount rate of 11.0% in order to determine the fair value of the trade name. All goodwill and intangible assets relate to our Black Hawk property. Upon completion of the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Company’s acquisition of Monarch Casino Black Hawk, the Company decreased goodwill by $1.4 million related primarily to modification to the value of certain deferred tax assets in 2012. No changes were made to the carrying amount of goodwill during 2013 and thereafter.
