Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

Our intangible assets represent the fair value for trade name, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements acquired in connection with our acquisitions.
