12.   Goodwill

Business Acquisition

ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the acquisition method and that certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) requires goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, such as trade names, but instead tested at least annually for impairment (which the Company tests each year end, absent any impairment indicators) and be written down if impaired. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be allocated to its respective reporting unit and that identifiable intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their useful lives.

Visava/Canary

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into the Visava Exchange Agreement described in Item 1.

This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. As of August 2, 2018, the fair value of the net liabilities was $275,353 and the purchase consideration was fair valued as $3,318,842, shown below, leading to a goodwill allocation of $3,594,195.

​

​

The fair value of these warrants was measured at the date of acquisition using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has identified no circumstances which would call for further evaluation of goodwill impairment related to Canary (December 31, 2024 the Company has identified no circumstances which would call for further evaluation of goodwill impairment related to Canary). Only change in goodwill from 2023 to 2025 is due to exchange rate fluctuations.

During the year ended, December 31, 2025, all of the warrants expired, none were exercised.

Goodwill

The Company tests for impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. In assessing whether goodwill is impaired, the Company utilizes the two-step process as prescribed by ASC 350. The first step of this test is qualitative analysis in which it compares the fair value of the reporting unit, to the carrying amount, including goodwill. In this step company assesses the likelihood of impairment by examining factors such as continued revenue growth, favorable regulatory developments, and market growth trends, overall financial performance of the Company. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further work is required, and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired then step two that is quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test would need to be performed to measure the amount of an impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the impairment is computed by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss in the amount of the excess is recognized and charged to the statement of operations. No impairment was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025.
