NOTE
8
– IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
We assess the potential impairment of our long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets or asset group
may
not
be recoverable. Due to the significant impact of the COVID-
19
pandemic on our operations, we determined it was necessary to perform an interim test of our long-lived assets during the
three
months ended
May 31, 2020.
Based on the results of these assessments, we recorded
$545,000
of expense. This expense is presented within general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
The assessment of our goodwill, trademark and long lived asset fair values includes many assumptions that are subject to risk and uncertainties. The primary assumptions, which are all Level
3
inputs of the fair value hierarchy (inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement), used in our impairment testing consist of:
 
 
Expected future cash flows from operation of our Company-owned units.
 
Forecasted future royalty revenue, marketing revenue and associated expenses.
 
Projected rate of royalty savings on trademarks.
 
Our cost of capital.
 
At
May 31, 2020
costs associated with the impairment of long-lived and intangible assets consisted of the following:
 
Company store goodwill impairment
  $
317,243
 
Trademark intangible asset impairment
   
159,000
 
Company-owned store impairment of long-lived assets and inventory
   
68,558
 
         
Total
  $
544,801
 
 
Certain interim tests did
not
indicate a need for impairment during the
three
months ended
May 31, 2020.
Franchise rights, store design, manufacturing segment goodwill and franchising goodwill tests succeeded during the interim period. We believe we have made reasonable estimates and judgements, however, further COVID-
19
related impacts could cause interim testing to be performed in future periods and further impairments recorded if testing of impairment is
not
successful in future periods.
 
During the
three
months ended
May 31, 2021
the Company did
not
identify any triggering events and there were
no
costs associated with the impairment of long-lived assets during the
three
months ended
May 31, 2021.
