Goodwill represents the acquired goodwill net of the cumulative impairment losses recorded in fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2011 of $8.8 million, $9.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $8.8 million associated with the DTG2Go reporting unit. This impairment resulted from an interim assessment of DTG2Go goodwill, which we were required to perform in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 due to the adverse impact of market conditions on our current year profitability and estimated future business results and cash flows, as well as the significant decrease in our market capitalization because of a sustained decline in our common stock price. In order to determine the fair value of the DTG2Go reporting unit, we utilized discounted cash flow methodology to determine the present value of future discounted cash flows.

Depending on the type of intangible assets, amortization is recorded under cost of goods sold or SG&A expenses. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.6 million for both the March 2024 and March 2023 quarters. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended March 2024 and March 2023. Amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $2.3 million for the year ending September 2024, approximately $2.2 million for the years ending September 2025 and 2026, approximately $2.0 million for the year ending September 2027, and approximately $1.5 million for the year ending September 2028.
