As of May 31, 2026, included in licenses, permits & applications are multi-period sponsorship rights of $18,783 and $nil of indefinite-lived intangible assets compared to $15,047 and $nil as of May 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 3 (Significant accounting policies) for additional details. 

 

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets were fully impaired in prior periods and had no remaining carrying value as of May 31, 2026. The Company performed the annual impairment test on its finite-lived intangible assets, management assessed for asset specific indicators of impairment during the fourth quarter ended May 31, 2026, and determined there were no impairments to finite-lived intangible assets during the year ended  May 31, 2026. 

 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, the Company recorded non-cash impairments of $334,207 related to its finite-lived customer relationships & distribution channel, $186,649 related to its licenses, permits & applications, which were considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and $327,059 related to its finite-lived intellectual property, trademarks, knowhow & brands. This impairment charge resulted in a corresponding income tax recovery of $121,436, resulting in the corresponding reduction in deferred tax liabilities. In calculating the impairment charge, using an income approach, the Company used a discount rate of 10.00%-14.50%, a terminal growth rate of 2%, and an average revenue growth rate of 5%-30% over 5 years to correlate with the cash flows anticipated with the individual intangible assets that were assessed. A reasonably possible change in any of the inputs within the determination of fair value would not result in a material change to the impairment recorded.

 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, there were no impairments to indefinite-lived intangible assets. 

 

Estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter is as follows:
