 Mercer Capital's Money for Nothing? 2002-09 Valuing Intangible Assets: A Primer
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are to be tested for impairment by comparing their estimated fair values with their carrying values on the balance sheet.
The primary complicating factor for intangible asset valuation is relating specific benefits and costs to specific intangible assets or, stated differently, separating and valuing the intangible asset apart from the larger entity.
Intangible asset valuation theoretically parallels securities valuation; i.e., value is based upon a stream of future benefits discounted to the present.

 Current - Intangible Asset Valuation
Understanding the reason for the intangible asset valuation, whether for tax purposes, corporate planning, or dispute resolution, is paramount when considering the nature of the intangible asset under investigation.
One should be mindful that the distinction between intangible assets and characteristics of intangible assets is important, especially when valuing a particular intangible asset or set of intangible assets.
For example, determining the appropriate value of an intangible asset (or set of intangible assets) may be necessary or useful for corporate planning, establishing royalty rates, intercompany transfer prices or even litigation dispute and resolution (although often this is tied into taxation related reasons!).

 FASB: Useful Life and Amortization of Intangible Assets
The useful life of an intangible asset to an entity is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that entity.
The accounting for a recognized intangible asset is based on its useful life to the reporting entity.
An intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortized; an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized.

 FASB: Summary of Statement 142
Intangible assets that are not amortized will be tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair values of those assets with their recorded amounts.
It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition.
Because goodwill and some intangible assets will no longer be amortized, the reported amounts of goodwill and intangible assets (as well as total assets) will not decrease at the same time and in the same manner as under previous standards.

This possibility would expense research and development and other costs to develop intangible assets until technical feasibility is reached, and then retroactively capitalize those previously expensed costs and capitalize all further costs to complete creation of the asset.

 Congress May Resolve Battle Over Intangible Holding Companies
The basic intangible holding company structure involves the transfer of trademarks and other valuable intangible assets to a subsidiary in a state that imposes a lower tax rate or, preferably, to a state (such as Delaware) that does not impose any tax on income from royalty payments.
The controversy over intangible holding companies continues to rage between groups that have instituted this state corporate income tax-saving technique and the states that are losing revenue as a result of this corporate structure.
If legislation addressing the nexus question is enacted (and if it allows the states to tax out-of-state e-commerce transactions), then the states would have congressional authorization to impose their corporate income taxes on a holding company that licenses trademarks to a business in another state.

 Definition of Intangible Property from RoyaltyStat.com
Ownership of Intangible PropertyAs with the 1968 regulations, the final regulations in Income Tax Regulations section 1.482-4(f)(3)(ii) require that arm's-length consideration be paid when intangible property is transferred from one member of a controlled group to another.
However, the regulation states that the embedded intangible must be accounted for in determining comparability of controlled and uncontrolled transactions.
Thus, a royalty or other payment for the intangible may be required, and the controlled purchaser will presumably be treated as owning the embedded intangible for purposes of determining its arm's-length income.

Furthermore several studies show that future growth is determined not by historical financial accounts but by factors such as management skills, innovation capability, brands and the collective know-how of the workforce.
