Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Mustang concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment for certain leasehold improvements and the related right of use asset. Mustang assessed the carrying value of the asset group consisting of the leasehold improvements and right-of-use asset in accordance with ASC 360, given the significant changes to Mustang’s operations, operating cash and the repurchase of equipment. The assessment of the recoverability of the asset group concluded that there was impairment on the carrying value of the asset group of approximately $2.6 million, which was allocated on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of the assets.  Approximately $2.2 million of the impairment loss was allocated to leasehold improvements, with the remaining $0.4 million allocated to the right-of-use asset.
