The Company recorded an impairment loss of $4,390,590 following the performance of its 2018 annual goodwill impairment test. The impairment loss represents the excess of the carrying value of the Company's energy production reporting unit, including goodwill, over its estimated fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis. The impairment recognizes the shortening of remaining contract terms with customers without replacement and without further growth, as well as less than expected cost savings and increased profitability from the Company's initiative to optimize the long-term profitability of its various site operations, and a price peak of the Company's stock on the date of the business combination to which the goodwill relates (see also Note 18 "Subsequent events").
