NOTE D - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
 
Intangible Assets
 
The Company holds certain patents, intellectual property and rights related to the development of Camelina as a biofuels feedstock and continues to incur costs related to patent license fees and patent applications for Camelina sativa plant improvements. In April of 2021, the Company acquired Agribody Technologies, Inc. (“ATI”) primarily for its patent position. The Company allocated approximately $3.2
million of the consideration to the patents held by ATI, which is included in our Patent licenses below and subject to amortization. Our patents generally have an expected useful life of
approximately 20 years
from the date the patent is applied for and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. The Company also allocated $90,000 of the acquisition of ATI to its trade name.  This is a non-amortizable intangible asset with an indefinite life subject to any future impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over their remaining patent life. The termination dates of our patents range from 2022 through 2040. Any future costs associated with the maintenance of these patents and patent and registration costs for any new patents that are essential to our business will be capitalized and amortized over the life of the patent once issued. Upon the Company’s acquisition of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, the Company acquired necessary permits for the operation of the facility. The permit cost of $1.9 million is amortized on a straight-line basis
over 15 years. The intangible assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is shown in the following table:

Goodwill
 
In April of 2021, the Company acquired Agribody Technologies, Inc. (“ATI”).  As part of the acquisition the Company allocated approximately $1.4
million to goodwill. This goodwill is listed separately on the balance sheet and is not subject to amortization. Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually on December 31 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired.
