Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in an acquisition that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The composition of, and changes in goodwill, consist of:

 

  Date   Acquisition   Goodwill
  January 2020     Rotor Riot   $ 1,849,073  
  November 2020     Fat Shark     6,168,260  
  May 2021     Skypersonic     2,826,918  
  August 2021     Teal Drones     8,995,499  
  Balance at April 30, 2022           19,839,750  
  Impairment loss     Skypersonic     (2,826,918 )
  Balance at April 30, 2023         $ 17,012,832  

    

Following the establishment of the Enterprise and Consumer segments, management evaluated the long term business strategy of each segment. This resulted in the Enterprise segment narrowing its focus on the military and other government agencies. It was determined that Skypersonic's technology would be re-focused for the near term on military applications and consolidated into the operations of Teal Drones. The Company completes a formal evaluation of the carrying value of its intangible assets, including goodwill, at the end of each fiscal year. Based on (i) the operating results for Skypersonic since its acquisition in May 2021, (i) its consolidation into Teal, (iii) our current expectations of its future business conditions and trends, and (iv) our projected revenues, expenses, and cash flows related to Skypersonic, the Company completed an assessment of the carrying amount of Skypersonic's goodwill and recognized an impairment charge of $2,826,918.
