Gain on Sale of Domain Name

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received an unsolicited offer for $165,000, net of commission, for its domain name “blunt.com” from an unaffiliated party. Management considered this offer to be a fair arms-length price for a premium domain name and the Company sold the domain name. The domain name was a long-lived asset, and the Company is not in the business of buying and selling domain names. Accordingly, this sale is recorded as other income during the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

 

Investment Income

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company executed a Litigation Funding Agreement with Legalist Fund III, LP (“Legalist”), whereby Legalist will provide certain funding, in advance of any collection, in connection with certain claims that the Company has against LAFI. See Note 9. The terms of the Litigation Funding Agreement provide for committed funds of $325,000 with a first tranche of $225,000 and the second tranche of $100,000 (“Funder Costs Amount”). The Company received the first tranche of $225,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022. With respect to the second tranche, the Company has the option of drawing down the $100,000 in a lump sum payment but is under no obligation to draw down the second tranche. Upon collection of any claims in the LAFI litigation, Legalist’s recovery is 0.85 of the committed funds then in effect, if repayment in full prior to 12 months, and 0.27 of the committed funds then in effect for every additional four months if repayment in full occurs thereafter (“Funder Recovery Amount”). In addition, Legalist was granted a security interest on the assets of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Litigation Funding Agreement, if the proceeds from the LAFI litigation are insufficient to pay in full both the Funder Costs Amount and Funder Recovery Amount, then such proceeds shall be applied exclusively and entirely to Legalist, after which no further amount will be owed to Legalist. If no proceeds are ever received from the LAFI litigation, then Legalist loses their investment. The Company has determined that the money received from Legalist is not a loan and is effectively proceeds from their investment in LAFI which the Company is accounting for as an investment in equity securities with no value due to uncertainties surrounding the value of LAFI. Accordingly, the Company has recorded this as investment income for the year ended December 31, 2022.
