GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

NOTE 3 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill

 

As of June 30, 2026, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, that would require the Company to reassess goodwill for impairment outside its annual impairment test.

Finite-lived intangible assets consisted of the following as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
