Leases

 

The present value discount of the minimum operating lease payments above was $1.5 million which when deducted from the cash commitments for the leases included in the table above, equates to the lease liabilities of $4.9 million recorded as of June 30, 2026 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Employment contracts

 

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain key executives, which remain in effect for fixed terms. Under these agreements, the executives receive a base salary, subject to potential reviews at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Some of these agreements also include provisions for severance benefits in certain circumstances. As a result, the Company’s commitments under these agreements represent future salary or severance payments obligations.

 

Consulting Contracts and Other Commitments

 

The Company also enters into consulting contracts, primarily for production-related work, that commit the Company to future payments for services to be rendered under the terms of each respective agreement. These commitments are not recorded as liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until the related services are performed. The Company also enters into various agreements associated with its individual properties. Some of these agreements call for the potential future payment of royalties or “profit” participations for either (i) the use of third party intellectual property, in which the Company is obligated to share net profits with the underlying rights holders on a certain basis as defined in the respective agreements, or (ii) services rendered by animation studios, post-production studios, writers, directors, musicians or other creative talent for which the Company is obligated to share with these service providers a portion of the net profits of the properties on which they have rendered services, as defined in each respective agreement.
