NOTE 5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill: In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-45, all the Company’s goodwill is assigned to a single operating and reporting unit. All acquisitions made by the Company are in one general insurance agency industry and operate in a very similar economic and regulatory environment. The Company’s operations team leadership reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the CEO who is responsible for the strategic direction of the Company reviews the operations of the insurance agency business collectively, as one segment.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, as further discussed in Note 16 the Company sold the assets of Fortman Insurance Services, Employee Benefits Solutions, LLC, and US Benefits Alliance, LLC.
