Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | NOTE 6. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS 2021 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed three acquisitions of outdoor advertising businesses and related assets as well as the acquisition of a surety brokerage company. The outdoor advertising businesses were acquired for the purpose of expanding our presence in the outdoor advertising market in the Midwestern United States. The membership units of the surety brokerage company were acquired for the purpose of expanding our presence in the surety and fidelity insurance business in the United States. These acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805. A summary of the acquisitions is provided below. Insurance Acquisition American Contracting Services On April 1, 2021, our subsidiary, GIG, acquired 100% of the stock of American Contracting Services, Inc., which we refer to as "ACS," a surety brokerage company located in Ohio, for a purchase price of $3,455,000. The total purchase price consists of $2,225,000 of cash, ten percent of which was held back by GIG and will be disbursed, subject to any claims for indemnification, over an 18-month period, and $1,230,000 in contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration, classified in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, is dependent on the probability of ACS achieving certain financial performance targets. The contingent consideration ranges between zero and $1,275,000 and is payable twenty-four months following the closing date. Our purchase price allocation related to ACS includes property, plant and equipment, intangibles, and goodwill of $87,780, $970,000 and $2,605,844, respectively, as well as other net liabilities of $208,624. The intangible assets include customer relationships and trade names and trademarks, each of which have a fifteen year useful life. 2021 Acquisitions Outdoor Advertising Acquisitions Thomas Outdoor On January 26, 2021, our subsidiary, LMO, acquired from Thomas Outdoor Advertising, Inc., which we refer to as “Thomas,” 238 billboard structures and related assets located in Kansas for a purchase price of $6,102,508 paid in cash. Our purchase price allocation related to Thomas includes property, plant and equipment, intangibles, and goodwill of $1,706,708, $1,551,000 and $2,618,431, respectively, as well as other net assets of $226,369. The intangible assets include customer relationships and permits which have useful lives of fifteen years and ten years, respectively. Keleher On November 19, 2021, Link Billboards Oklahoma, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which we refer to as "LBO", purchased the outdoor advertising assets of Keleher Outdoor Advertising, Inc. and Keleher Enterprises, Inc. (together "Keleher"), based in Bartlesville, OK for a purchase price of $12,220,000. Keleher was founded in 1975 and operates over 600 billboard faces in Oklahoma and southeast Kansas. 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 documentation of the contracts for customer relationships and detailed reports for structures and permits. The provisional purchase price allocation is based on internal information derived from our previous acquisitions in the Midwestern United States. The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, which includes the fair value allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
