(5) Intangible Assets, net

The Company has intangible assets that consist of liquor licenses and lease interest assets. The liquor licenses are indefinite-lived assets and are not subject to amortization. The lease interest assets are amortized to occupancy costs on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of each respective lease. Amortization of the lease interest assets is expected to be approximately $36,000 per year, for the remaining useful life.

A reconciliation of beginning and ending amounts of intangible assets at April 2, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively, are presented in the table below:
