In addition to the stated interest rates on the loans, certain loans include a net profit participation feature whereby the lender may receive an additional return based on the performance of the film underwritten by the loan. Certain of these loans are collateralized by interests in film rights the Company owns. Additionally, certain of these notes are guaranteed by an individual who is a related party. To that extent, none of the participation features were triggered as of December 31, 2024. In addition, certain tax credit assignment loans totaling $750,000 were entered into during fiscal year 2024 whereby the lenders agreed to be paid (on a dollar per dollar basis) from the proceeds of a refundable tax credit related to the production of the Nutcracker film. While the tax credit was not received as of December 31, 2024, the Company expects to receive the credit in the near future and has therefore classified the tax assignment loans as current. In order to receive this tax credit, the Company must have an audit performed on the required financial information, which is currently in-process.
The Company had approximately $7.9 million in related party debt to its former parent company as of June 30, 2024. However, in accordance with the merger agreement all of the debt was forgiven as of the merger consummation date. The debt forgiveness was recognized as an increase to additional paid in capital. Upon settlement of the transaction an additional $0.2 million of liabilities were forgiven, resulting in total liability forgiveness of $8.1 million.
