ANNUAL INTEGRATED REPORT 2021 | AXTEL
Trademarks are amortized according to their useful life based on
the Company's evaluation; if in this evaluation the useful life proves
to be indefinite, then trademarks are not amortized but subject to
annual impairment tests.
b. Licenses
Licenses acquired in a separate transaction are recorded at
acquisition cost. Licenses acquired in a business combination are
recognized at fair value at acquisition date.
Licenses that have a definite useful life are presented at cost less
accumulated amortization. Amortization is recorded on a straight-
line basis over its estimated useful life.
The acquisition of software licenses is capitalized based on the
costs incurred to acquire and use the specific software.
ii. Indefinite useful life
These intangible assets are not amortized and are subject to
annual impairment assessment. As of December 31, 2021, 2020
and 2019, intangible assets with an indefinite life corresponds to
goodwill.
n. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of a subsidiary
over the Company's interest in the fair value of the identifiable
net assets acquired, determined at the date of acquisition, and
is not subject to amortization. Goodwill is shown under goodwill
and intangible assets and is recognized at cost less accumulated
impairment losses, which are not reversed. Gains or losses on
the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill
related to the entity sold.
o. Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are
not depreciable or amortizable and are subject to annual impairment
tests. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for
impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss
is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at
the lowest levels at which separately identifiable cash flows exist
(cash generating units). Non-financial long-term assets other than
goodwill that have suffered impairment are reviewed for a possible
reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
p. Income tax
The amount of income taxes in the consolidated statement of
income represents the sum of current and deferred income taxes.
The amount of income taxes included in the consolidated statement
of income represents the current tax of the year and the effects of
deferred income tax determined in each subsidiary by the assets and
liabilities method, applying the rate established by the legislationView entire presentation
