Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | NOTE 6. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS There were no business acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. 2018 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2018, we completed three acquisitions of billboards and related assets. These acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805. A summary of the acquisitions is provided below. Billboard Acquisitions Tammy Lynn Outdoor, LLC On July 31, 2018, our subsidiary, LMSE, entered into a purchase agreement with Tammy Lynn Outdoor, LLC, which we refer to as “Tammy Lynn,” based in Bluefield, West Virginia. The assets acquired are primarily located in West Virginia with additional acquired assets located in Virginia. The purchase price consisted of $14,763,261 in cash, net of adjustments, and 85,170 shares of our Class A common stock. The acquisition was completed for the purpose of expanding our presence in the outdoor advertising market in the Southeastern United States. The provisional purchase price allocation is based on internal information derived from our previous acquisitions in the Southeastern United States and will be revised when we have completed our evaluation. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for the business acquisition is incomplete. We are still in the process of obtaining and assessing documentation of the contracts for customer relationships, and detailed reports for structures, permits, and easements; also, we are reviewing lease contracts for potentially favorable leases. Finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, permits, favorable leases, and a five year noncompetition agreement. We amortize the noncompetition agreement according to the terms of the asset purchase agreement. For other finite-lived assets, amortization is computed over the average period of expected benefit determined from internal information. Key Outdoor, Inc. On August 22, 2018, our subsidiary, LMM entered into a purchase agreement with Key Outdoor, Inc., which we refer to as “Key,” Angela K. Dahl, and Robert A. Dahl, by which LMM acquired over 700 billboard structures and related assets from Key. The billboards and related assets are located in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. The purchase price for the acquired assets was $38,000,000, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which totaled $233,894, and are still open for adjustments. A portion of the purchase price equal to $1,900,000 was held back by LMM and will be disbursed, subject to any claims for indemnification, over a 12 month period. Another $329,467 is being held back as required consent holdback. Both holdbacks, net of 2018 payments, are included in the caption “Short-term payables for business acquisitions” on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. Each of Key and Angela K. Dahl and Robert A. Dahl, Key’s principals, have also entered into five year noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements in connection with the acquisition. Total cash paid at closing was $36,004,427. As of March 31, 2019, we made payments of $1,293,847 on the short-term payable for business acquisitions. The provisional purchase price allocation is based on internal information derived from our previous acquisitions in the Midwestern United States and will be revised when an independent appraisal has been completed. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete. We are still in the process of obtaining and assessing the documentation of the contracts for customer relationships and detailed reports for structures and permits; also, we are reviewing lease contracts for potentially favorable leases and asset retirement obligations. Additionally, we are still in the process of verifying items in connection with the post closing adjustments which remain open. Finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, permits, and five year noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements. We amortize the noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements according to the terms of the asset purchase agreement. For other finite-lived assets, amortization is computed over the average period of expected benefit determined from internal information. Waitt Outdoor, LLC On August 31, 2018, our subsidiary, LMO entered into a purchase agreement with Waitt Outdoor, LLC, which we refer to as “Waitt,” by which LMO acquired over 1,600 billboard structures and related assets from Waitt. The billboards and related assets are located in Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. The purchase price for the acquired assets was $82,000,000, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which totaled $2,031,262, resulting in a total purchase price of $84,031,262. Cash paid at closing was $84,031,262 of which $4,102,500 is held in escrow, subject to any claims for indemnification. Waitt, WaittCorp Investments, LLC, and Mr. Michael J. Delich, the principal of Waitt, have also entered into five year noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements in connection with the acquisition. The provisional purchase price allocation is based on internal information derived from our previous acquisitions in the Midwestern United States and will be revised when an independent appraisal has been completed. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete. Finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, permits, and noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements. We are still in the process of obtaining and assessing the documentation of the contracts for customer relationships and detailed reports for structures, permits, easements, and accounts receivable; also, we are reviewing lease contracts for potentially favorable leases, asset retirement obligations, and other long-term liabilities. We amortize the noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements according to the terms of the asset purchase agreement. For other finite-lived assets, amortization is computed over the average period of expected benefit determined from internal information. We also acquired 17 easements. The easements are permanent easements which grant us the right to use real property not owned by us. Since the easements are perpetual, they are not amortized. Pro Forma Information The following is the unaudited pro forma information assuming all business acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2018. For all of the business acquisitions depreciation and amortization have been included in the calculation of the pro forma information provided below, based upon the actual acquisition costs. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated remaining economic lives of the assets, ranging from two years to fifteen years. Amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to fifty years.
