Investment in Private Services Company

On January 8, 2020, the Company acquired a 4.25% membership interest in a private services company for cash consideration of $11,000. The private services company partners with independent network advisory firms to help them grow, become more profitable and run more efficiently. The Company will use the equity method of accounting to record its portion of the private services company’s net income or loss on a one quarter lag from the actual results of operations. The Company uses the equity method of accounting because of its less than 50% ownership and lack of control and does not otherwise exercise control over the significant economic decisions of the private services company.

The private services company is and remains a client of the Company and has thus been determined to be a related party. Revenues from the private services company totaled $2,689 in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
