GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 NOTE 3 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a balance of $21,507,944 of goodwill on its condensed consolidated balance sheet resulting from its acquisitions of 42West, The Door, Special Projects, Shore Fire and Elle. All the Company’s goodwill is related to the entertainment, publicity and marketing segment.

 

 

  

The Company evaluates goodwill in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, (3) significant decline in market capitalization or (4) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. There were no triggering events noted during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that would require the Company to reassess goodwill for impairment outside its annual impairment test.
