Intangible Assets, Goodwill and Impairment

9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS, GOODWILL AND IMPAIRMENT

 

On January 8, 2016, the Trust and IBC Hotels purchased the tangible and intangible assets excluding cash, receivables, prepaid booking/expenses, accrued expenses, and an automobile from Vacation Technologies International, Inc., a Texas Corporation, dba International Vacation Hotels (“International Vacation Hotels”). Assets purchased primarily consist of hotel revenue booking contracts, websites and other key business intangible assets. The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Tangible assets acquired were considered worthless and therefore were not separately valued. Accordingly, the identifiable intangible assets acquired have been recorded at fair value, with the remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill.

 

The fair values of assets acquired at the transaction date are summarized below:

 

Marketing Related Intangibles   $ 100,000  
Customer Base     400,000  
Total identifiable intangible assets     500,000  
         
Goodwill     500,000  
         
Total acquired assets   $ 1,000,000  

 

Over the past several fiscal years, the Trust has made significant investment in IBC Hotels, including its investment in the purchase of International Vacation Hotels for $1 million in January 2016. In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017, the Trust incurred approximately $1 million net operating loss from IBC Hotels. In the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018, IBC Hotels lost approximately $1.6 million excluding the write-off of the intangible assets. After assessing the totality of events and circumstances including the historical losses and projected losses, the Trust determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of IBC Hotels is less than its carrying value. Accordingly, Management has decided to write down the entire amount of intangible assets as of January 31, 2018 as such amounts are not considered recoverable.

 

Intangible Assets

 

For the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018, intangible assets consisted of the following:
