In July 2020, the Company entered into a binding term sheet with POW! Entertainment, LLC. (“POW”) in which the Company agreed to form an entity with POW to exploit certain rights in intellectual property created by Stan Lee, as well as the name and likeness of Stan Lee. The entity is called “Stan Lee Universe, LLC” (“SLU”). POW and the Company
executed an Operating Agreement for the joint venture, effective as of June 1, 2021. The purpose of the acquisition was to enable the Company to assume the worldwide rights, in perpetuity, to the name, physical likeness, physical signature, live-action and animated motion picture, television, online, digital, publishing, comic book, merchandising and licensing rights to Stan Lee and over 100 original Stan Lee creations (the “Stan Lee Assets”), from which the Company plans to develop and license multiple properties each year.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, SLU generated net loss of $49,895 and net income of $15,911, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, SLU generated net loss of $69,199 and net income $47,334, respectively. There were no contributions or distributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and there were no changes in facts and circumstances that would result in a re-evaluation of the VIE assessment.
