INTANGIBLE ASSETS
NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In 2011, the Company paid $300,000 for the non-exclusive rights and license to use the Southern Hospitality system and Southern Hospitality licensed marks in connection with the operation of ten restaurants to be owned and operated by the Company under franchise and related area development agreements.  These costs were allocable to each planned restaurant.

In September 2013, the Company terminated the Area Developer Agreement ("ADA") with the Franchisor. As a result of the termination of the ADA, the Company determined this event impaired the intangible asset, and a resulting impairment expense was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2013, of $250,000.  The intangible asset at June 30, 2014, represents franchise license costs for the Denver restaurant (net of accumulated amortization of $6,875).

Amortization began in February 2013 with the opening of the Company's Denver-based restaurant, with amortization expense of $1,250 and $2,500 recorded for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014. Amortization expense for the next five years is estimated to be as follows:
