Note 7 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The table below summarizes goodwill by business segment as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company is required to test goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and, if current events or circumstances require, on an interim basis. Our next annual evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2017. To test the impairment of goodwill, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the goodwill, to determine if there is potential goodwill impairment. A reporting unit is generally one level below the operating segment. As of March 31, 2017, we were not aware of any events indicating potential impairment of goodwill had occurred.

The tables below summarize intangible assets other than goodwill as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Net intangible assets other than goodwill	$	6,801	$	2,620	$	616	$	10,037

Beneficial leases are amortized over the life of the lease up to 30 years, trade names are amortized based on the accelerated amortization method over its estimated useful life of 45 years, and other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of up to 30 years (except for transferrable liquor licenses, which are indefinite-lived assets). The table below summarizes the amortization expense of intangible assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
