4. GOODWILL & INTANGIBLES

On July 17, 2017, Comstock Environmental, an entity wholly owned by CDS Capital Management, L.C., a subsidiary of Comstock, purchased all of the business assets of Monridge Environmental, LLC for $2.3 million. Comstock Environmental has its principal office located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and operates in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and it is not deductible for income tax purposes. As of the acquisition date, goodwill consisted primarily of synergies resulting from the combination, expected expanded opportunities for growth and production, and savings in corporate overhead costs. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of goodwill was $1.7 million.

Intangible assets include customer relationships which have an amortization period of four years. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, $17 thousand of intangible asset amortization was recorded in ‘General and administrative’ expense on the Consolidation Statements of Operations.
