Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisition | Acquisition In January 2012, a subsidiary of the Company, ITIC, entered into a membership interest purchase and sale agreement under which it agreed to acquire a majority ownership interest of United Title Agency Co., LLC (“United”). United, a Michigan limited liability company, is an insurance agency doing business in the State of Michigan. On April 2, 2012, ITIC purchased a 70% ownership interest in United, with both ITIC and the seller having the option to require ITIC to purchase the remaining 30% interest at a later date. The contingent payment arrangement required that the purchase price for the 70% majority interest of United was to be paid over a two year period and was determined by multiplying United’s actual GAAP net income for the first full 24 calendar months subsequent to closing by an agreed upon factor. In no event was the purchase price for the majority interest to exceed $1,041,250. The acquisition date fair value of the total consideration to be transferred was $1,041,250. This fair value total was equal to $350,000 ITIC had already paid toward the purchase price, as well as $691,250 in estimated contingent payments. During the second quarter of 2013, ITIC paid an additional $350,000 toward the purchase price. During the second quarter of 2014, ITIC paid the remaining $341,250 of the purchase price. As a result, no contingent payments were included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. On May 21, 2014, ITIC purchased the remaining 30% ownership interest in United, making United a wholly owned subsidiary of ITIC. The purchase price of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was calculated by multiplying United’s GAAP net income for the full 24 calendar months immediately preceding the written notice of the option exercise by an agreed upon factor. The calculated purchase price of $515,275 was paid during the second quarter of 2014. The following table provides the effects of changes in ITIC's ownership interest in United, and the resulting impact on the Company's equity:
| March 31, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Net income attributable to the Company | $ | 1,726,124 |  |  | $ | 9,648,975 |
Transfers from the redeemable controlling interest: |  |  |
Decrease in paid-in capital for purchase of redeemable noncontrolling interest | — |  |  | (114,320 | )
Net transfers from noncontrolling interest | — |  |  | (114,320 | )
Change from net income attributable to the Company and transfers from redeemable noncontrolling interest | $ | 1,726,124 |  |  | $ | 9,534,655 |
As certain provisions of the membership interest purchase and sale agreement placed the acquisition of the remaining 30% of United by ITIC out of ITIC’s control, the noncontrolling interest in United was deemed redeemable. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was presented outside of permanent equity, as redeemable equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On the acquisition date, the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was $446,250. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was based on the noncontrolling interest’s share of the value of net assets. The following table provides a reconciliation of total redeemable equity for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
Changes in carrying value during the period ended: | March 31, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Beginning balance at January 1 | $ | — |  |  | $ | 545,489 |
Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest | — |  |  | 23,523 |
Distributions to noncontrolling interest | — |  |  | (168,057 | )
Redeemable noncontrolling interest resulting from subsidiary purchase | — |  |  | (515,275 | )
Adjustment to retained earnings for purchase of noncontrolling interest | — |  |  | 114,320 |
Balance, net | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Fair valuation methods used for the identifiable tangible net assets acquired in the acquisition make use of discounted cash flows using current interest rates. The fair value of identifiable net tangible assets at the acquisition date was $5,600. Identifiable assets acquired included cash and fixed assets. Liabilities assumed consisted of notes payable. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method required by ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the Company recognized the required identifiable intangible assets of United. There was no goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition. The fair values of intangible assets, all Level 3 inputs, are principally based on values obtained from a third party valuation service. At acquisition, intangible assets included $645,685 relating to a non-compete contract resulting from the acquisition and $836,215 from referral relationships. The non-compete contract is being amortized over a 10-year period using the straight-line method, starting at a future date when the related employment agreement is terminated. The referral relationships are being amortized over a 12-year period using the straight-line method. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accumulated amortization of intangible assets was $209,052 and $191,631, respectively. Net intangible assets of $1,272,848 and $1,290,269 are categorized as prepaid expenses and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, management determined that no events or changes in circumstances occurred that would indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and therefore determined that the intangible assets assigned to United were not impaired at March 31, 2015.
