Note 18. Investment in Cohen and Associates:

 

On October 17, 2025, the Company, through its subsidiary HOPE, completed the acquisition of a strategic, minority ownership interest in Cohen & Associates, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (Cohen & Associates), for cash consideration of $432,000. The investment was acquired pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated October 17, 2025, by and among HOPE, Cohen LLC, and Rebecca S. Cohen, MD, which includes customary representations, warranties, indemnification provisions, and certain post‑closing adjustments.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in Cohen & Associates under the equity method of accounting, as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Cohen & Associates but does not control the entity. The investment is recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of Cohen & Associates’ net income or loss, which is included in equity method loss in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the amount of $35,000. As of December 31, 2025 the carrying value of the equity method investment was $397 thousand.
