6.    Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying value of customer list intangible are as follows:

	Year Ended		Year Ended
	Ended December 31,		December 31,
RAM	2019		2018
Beginning balance	$	284	$	326
Amortization		(43)		(42)
Ending balance	$	241	$	284
Accumulated amortization and impairment	$	706	$	663

The value assigned to customer list intangibles is based upon a multiple of the amount of commission revenue generated from the identified premiums. The customer lists are expected to have useful lives of 13 years and 4 months. The Company recognized $43 and $42 of amortization expense related to its intangible assets for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

At December 31, 2019, based upon the amount of future commission revenue available from the then existing RAM customer premiums on hand, the Company determined that the fair value of the amortizable intangible assets exceeded their carrying values recorded at year end.

As of December 31, 2019 the future amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the respective years is as follows:

2020	$	42
2021		42
2022		42
2023		42
2024		42
Thereafter		31
Total	$	241
