4. Licensing fees receivable

 

As disclosed in Note 2, in connection with the Sale Transaction, the Company entered into the License Agreement with MJ Holdings pursuant to which the Company granted MJ Holdings an exclusive, freely-usable and non-transferable, fully sublicensable license to use the Licensed IP (as defined in the License Agreement) during the term of such agreement in connection with the manufacture, sale, distribution, advertising, and promotion of all current and future products (the “Licensed Products”) each consisting of a mutually agreed upon composition, formula, recipe, flavor necessary for the Licensed Products and labeling, container size, and packaging, as applicable, to be made available by MJ Holdings for sale on-site at MJ Holdings’ places of business and/or by means of other distributors of MJ Holdings globally, including in any country or jurisdiction where the sale, marketing, and distribution of the Licensed Products is lawful. Pursuant to the License Agreement, MJ Holdings shall retain the exclusive right to any consumable product containing an emulsion derived from the cannabis plant with a THC concentration greater than 0.3% by dry weight and any Licensed IP in connection therewith. Furthermore, MJ Holdings shall own all Licensee Modified Formulas (as defined in the License Agreement) and such Licensee Modified Formulas may be incorporated and/or otherwise used in connection with a Licensed Product during the term of such agreement and at any time thereafter; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled to license the Licensee Modified Formulas on mutually agreeable terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall maintain exclusive rights to products containing Hemp (as defined in the SPA). Pursuant to the License Agreement, MJ Holdings shall pay the Company $0.15 million on the one-year anniversary of the License Effective Date and $0.255 million on each subsequent anniversary of the License Effective Date (the “Licensing Fee”). The Licensing Fee shall be fixed and non-adjustable during the term of the License.

 

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company utilized its weighted average cost of capital of 11.6% to discount the expected future cash flows associated with the Licensing Fee and determined the initial fair value of the License Agreement to be $1.70 million. The resulting discount is being amortized over the term of the License Agreement using the effective interest method.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.08 million in licensing revenue and $0.01 million in finance income related to the amortization of the discount.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the License Agreement receivable was $1.8 million, of which $0.15 million was classified as current.
