License agreements typically include reversion rights which allow the Company to repurchase property rights which have not been used by the studio (the buyer) in production within a specified period of time as defined in the purchase agreement. The cost to repurchase the rights is generally based on the costs incurred by the studio to further develop the characters and story lines.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investment securities with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of uninsured cash balances. The Company maintains its cash balances with what management believes to be a high credit quality financial institution. At times, balances within the Company’s cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit of $250,000.
