Acquisitions Note 12 – Acquisitions

Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity, over the fair value of the nets assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently in events and circumstances exists that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. The Company has selected September 1 of each year as the date to perform the annual impairment test. The Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill at September 1, 2022, and concluded that no impairment existed. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

Note 12 – Acquisitions (continued)

On December 31, 2021, Financial completed its acquisition of PWW, a Lynchburg, Virginia-based investment advisory firm with approximately $650 million in assets under management and advisement at the time of the acquisition. PWW operates as a subsidiary of Financial. The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred totaled $10.5 million, which was paid in cash.

In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded $3.0 million in goodwill and $8.4 million of amortizable intangible assets, which primarily relate to the value of customer relationships. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company is amortizing these intangible assets over a 15-year period using the straight line method. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.

It was necessary to increase goodwill related to PWW during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of a contractual net working capital adjustment payment to the previous owners of PWW in the amount of approximately $818,000. This net working capital adjustment payment was related to fees generated by PWW that were not collected until 2022. This adjustment to goodwill was within the one-year measurement period allowed per GAAP.
