RE: >>> One question that I need to answer is how much of CENT's book value is related to 'goodwill'? <<<

Paul, According to their annual report (September fiscal year end), goodwill on the balance sheet was 339 million. Notes indicate they use straight-line amortization over periods ranging from 20 to 40 years. Accumulated amortization was about 12 million.

Yeah, CENT has completed quite a few acquisitions and the resulting goodwill is clearly reflected in the company's high book value. I expect the numbers will likely increase in the future as CENT continues to actively pursue new growth opportunities through additional acquisitions.
