GOODWILL GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets on acquisition of a business. The carrying value of goodwill is not amortized, rather, it is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances arise that suggest the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. The Company performs its annual impairment test of the carrying value of goodwill on December 31 of each year.
Triggering events that potentially warrant an interim goodwill impairment test include, among other factors, declines in historical or projected revenue, operating income or cash flows, and sustained declines in the Company’s stock price or market capitalization, considered both in absolute terms and relative to peers.
Based on sustained declines in the trading price of our common stock and other securities with an established trading market, we performed a Step 1 interim quantitative goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2022, primarily using a market approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units. This assessment involved determining the fair value of our reporting units and comparing those values to the carrying value of each corresponding reporting unit. The carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their fair value and the goodwill impairment was measured at the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its fair value, limited to a maximum of the goodwill recorded at each reporting unit. Fair value of our reporting units were primarily estimated using earnings multiples techniques as well as a reconciliation of our consolidated market capitalization to the fair value of all reporting units. The determination of fair value using the earnings multiples technique requires significant assumptions to be made in relation to the appropriateness of earnings multipliers for reporting units and other qualitative factors associated with our reporting units and business activities. As a result of this testing, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $16.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, which was included as a discrete line item on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The $16.2 million goodwill impairment charge was comprised of $14.5 million associated with the Corridor reporting unit and $1.7 million associated with the MoGas reporting unit. As of December 31, 2022, there was no remaining goodwill recorded and therefore no additional goodwill subject to future risk of additional impairment.
As of December 31, 2021, the gross carrying value and net carrying value of the goodwill was $16.2 million.
As of December 31, 2022, the gross carrying value and the net carrying value of the goodwill was $0 following the $16.2 million impairment charge recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022.
The change in the net book value of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was as follows:
2022 2021
As of January 1, $ 16,210,020  $ 1,718,868 
Corridor Infrastructure Trust Acquisition —  14,491,152 
Loss on impairment (16,210,020) —
