21. ACQUISITIONS

The Company did not complete any acquisitions in 2022. The Company completed one acquisition in 2021 and two acquisitions in 2020, supporting the overall wealth management strategy. The acquisitions were not considered significant to the Company’s financial statements and therefore pro forma financial data and related disclosures are not included.

On December 18, 2020, the Company acquired wealth management teams and the associated books of business from Noyes Capital Management and Lucas Capital Management. The purchase price was comprised of cash in both transactions. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets was recorded as goodwill and is deductible for tax purposes.

On July 1, 2021, the Company acquired Princeton Portfolio Strategies Group. The purchase price was comprised of cash and common stock. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets was recorded as goodwill and is deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the equity included as part of the consideration for the Company’s acquisition in 2021 was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the acquisition date and totaled $333,000 for 2021. There was no equity included in the Company’s acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The 2021 acquisition resulted in goodwill of $3.1 million as well as identifiable intangible assets. The two 2020 acquisitions resulted in goodwill of $2.9 million as well as identifiable intangible assets. Identifiable intangible assets include tradename, customer relationships and non-compete agreements. No liabilities were assumed at these acquisition dates.

Goodwill on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition totaled $36.2 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021. Of the $36.2 million of goodwill, $563,000 relates to the Banking segment and $35.6 million relates to the Wealth Management segment.

During 2022, the Company conducted its annual impairment analysis and concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill.
