Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Note 11. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Long-Lived Assets. We review our long-lived assets including land, property, and equipment for impairment when there are factors that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess recovery of assets at the individual restaurant level and typically include an analysis of historical cash flows, future operating plans, and cash flow projections in assessing whether there are indicators of impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the net book value of the assets of an individual restaurant to the fair value of those assets. This impairment process involves significant judgment in the use of estimates and assumptions pertaining to future projections and operating results.

For the two quarters ended March 29, 2022, we recognized $1,753,000 in total asset impairments for three restaurants. Of this amount, $487,000 was related to two Good Times restaurants and $1,266,000 was related to one Bad Daddy’s restaurant. During the two quarters ended March 30, 2021 no asset impairment costs were recognized.

Trademarks. Trademarks have been determined to have an indefinite life. We evaluate our trademarks for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the trademarks with their carrying amount. There was no impairment required to the acquired trademarks as of March 29, 2022 and March 30, 2021.

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the assets of businesses the Company acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather, the Company is required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever indications of impairment arise. The Company considers its operations to be comprised of two reporting units: (1) Good Times restaurants and (2) Bad Daddy’s restaurants. As of March 29, 2022, the Company had $96,000 of goodwill attributable to the Good Times reporting unit and $5,617,000 of goodwill attributable to its Bad Daddy’s reporting unit. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized during the two quarters ended March 29, 2022. During the two quarters ended March 29, 2022, the company purchased one previously franchised Bad Daddy’s restaurant in Greenville, SC and in connection with this purchase recorded $563,000 of additional goodwill.
