NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The Company used a qualitative approach to assess goodwill impairment for its reporting units that had goodwill as of November 1, 2025 and 2024. At each date, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the respective reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying value. Accordingly, the Company determined that a quantitative impairment assessment was not necessary. The changes in the balances of the Company’s goodwill by reportable segment for Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025 were as follows:
