NOTE 4 – GOODWILL, INTANGIBLE ASSETS, AND INVESTMENTS

  

During the Company’s annual assessment of goodwill and intangible assets in December 2024, the Company determined goodwill and intangible assets related to Boston Solar and Box Pure Air were impaired due to negative revisions to the Company’s discounted cash flow analysis resulting from a decline in operations and political headwinds facing the industry as a whole. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded impairment expenses related to goodwill and intangible assets of approximately $7,200,000 and $2,461,000, respectively.

Investments

 

On August 9, 2022, the Company acquired a minority interest, with the right to acquire the remaining interests, of Frontline Power Solutions LLC (“Frontline”), a Multi-state Licensed Energy Services Company (“ESCO”). Frontline is a comprehensive energy service Company with the ability to operate in deregulated markets across the country and provide energy supply agreements to all sizes of commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. The Company signed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Frontline whereby the Company agreed to: (i) make an investment in Frontline for a 13.3% membership interest in exchange for $100,000 of the Company’s shares; (ii) issue a Promissory Note to Frontline for $150,000 ; and (iii) purchase the remaining interest (86.7%) membership interest for a Cash Consideration of $500,000 minus any outstanding principal and interest outstanding under the Promissory Note, subject to certain closing conditions. In the event that certain closing conditions do not occur, the Promissory Note would convert into an additional 6.6% membership interest of Frontline for a total ownership interest of 19.9% for the Company.

 

During December 2024, the Company determined the investment in and note receivable from Frontline contained no future economic benefit to the Company. Accordingly, a loss on investment totaling $134,376 and an impairment of balances due under the note receivable totaling $216,500 were recorded at December 31, 2024.
