At November 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company’s management performed an annual internal assessment at the reporting unit level and determined no goodwill impairment existed.

Due to the economic impact that COVID-19 had on the Company during 2020, management concluded that factors such as the decline in macroeconomic conditions led to the occurrence of a triggering event during the first quarter of 2020, and therefore an interim impairment test over goodwill was performed as of March 31, 2020.   Based upon the results of the interim goodwill assessment during the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded that an impairment did not exist on the bank reporting units as of the time of the assessment.  There was no occurrence of a triggering event during the second or third quarter of 2020 and therefore no impairment test over goodwill was needed.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company incurred goodwill impairment expense of $500 thousand related to the Bates Companies reporting unit.  This was the result of the announcement of a sale of the Bates Companies, as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  

As of November 30, 2019, the Company’s management performed an internal assessment of the goodwill for the Bates Companies reporting unit.  With the Bates Companies located in Rockford, Illinois, the Company had intended to achieve synergies and cross-selling opportunities that significantly enhanced the value of the Bates Companies.  With the sale of the assets and liabilities of RB&T, which was the Company’s bank subsidiary located

in Rockford, Illinois, the Company’s valuation analysis determined the value had declined and the goodwill was impaired.  Specifically, the Company determined a goodwill impairment charge of $3 million was required for the Bates Companies.  The Company used a combination of methods to determine the value and related goodwill impairment charge.  The methods included prices of comparable businesses as well as discussions with existing wealth management providers in the surrounding Rockford market.
