Any accountants out there?
ALE's 9-month results has an entry of $82,915,867 under "intangible assets". This goodwill represents over 50% of the total assets. How much of this goodwill would be reasonable to deduct from the so called shareholders' equity in order to get a less aggressive estimate of book value? The current value of goodwill strikes me as ridiculous at best (and that is being kind). Is there any standard percentage of goodwill applicable to this type of industry?
