Of the $16.9 million recorded as goodwill as of June 30, 2022, $8.2 million resulted from the acquisition of our motorcycle and marine education business in Orlando, Florida in 1998 and $8.6 million relates to the acquisition of MIAT as of

November 1, 2021 as previously described in Note 4. All of the goodwill relates to our Postsecondary Education reportable operating segment. Goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment, which may result from the deterioration in the operating performance of the acquired businesses, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations and a variety of other circumstances. Historically, this testing has been performed as of September 30 of each fiscal year. Effective as of October 1, 2021, we determined that our goodwill will be tested annually for impairment as of August 1 and more frequently if events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We do not consider this change to be material and believe that the timing is preferable as it allows additional time to complete the annual assessment in advance of the annual reporting deadline. This change in assessment date did not delay, accelerate, or cause avoidance of a potential impairment charge. There were no indicators of goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2022.
