GOODWILL

NOTE 6 – GOODWILL

The Company has two reporting units, its Trucking Segment and Digester Segment. Due to the Titan Merger and the resulting recognition of goodwill from the reverse acquisition, the Company initially recognized goodwill of $22,319,908 for the Digester reporting unit on the Titan acquisition date, which was adjusted to $26,880,916 due to measurement adjustments as the Company finalized its purchase price accounting. Due to the acquisition of Standard and the resulting recognition of goodwill from the business combination, the Company recognized goodwill of $13,864,967 for the Trucking reporting unit on the Standard acquisition date.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, and as a result of the financial performance of the Digester Segment, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than it’s carrying amount. Therefore, the Company performed an impairment assessment of the goodwill. The fair value of the Digester reporting unit was estimated using an income approach and included assumptions related to estimates of future revenue and operating expenses, long-term growth rates, a technology obsolescence rate, and a discount rate. The quantitative impairment test indicated a fair value of the reporting unit that was lower than its carrying value, and as a result, the goodwill was impaired with an impairment expense of $20,364,001 during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024 was as follows:
