(Unaudited)

 

1. BUSINESS

 

Nature of Operations—Fantex, Inc. (the “Company” or “Fantex”) was incorporated in Delaware in September 2012 and is a subsidiary of Fantex Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”). Fantex has substantially relied on the Parent to date to conduct its operations.

 

Fantex is a brand acquisition, marketing and brand development company whose focus is on acquiring minority interests in the income associated with the brands of professional athletes and entertainers (together with affiliated entities, the “Contract Party,” and collectively, the “Contract Parties”) and assisting such individuals in enhancing the reach and value of the brands the Company acquires. The business operates in a single segment and focuses on three core areas:

 

The Company currently relies on the Parent for management and operational capabilities while it continues to scale its operations. The Company will continue to rely on the Parent to conduct its operations until such time as the Company’s income and cash flows are sufficient to finance operations.

 

The Company operates under a management agreement with the Parent, pursuant to which Parent provides Fantex with management and administrative services, including providing and compensating the Company’s executive management and other personnel, as well as services relating to information technology support, brand management and other support operations, facilities, human resources, tax planning and administration, accounting, treasury and insurance. The Company will begin to assume direct management and administrative responsibilities at such time in the future as the actual cost of these services is less than the service fee to the Parent.

 

All expenses except for the management fee incurred for the three and six months ended June 30,  2015 and 2014 were paid by the Parent and allocated to Fantex based on the expenses incurred by Fantex in its operations. The allocations were based on the time spent by employees of the Parent on activities of Fantex and direct expenses incurred for the operations of Fantex. The expense allocations have been determined on the basis that Fantex and the Parent considered to be reasonable reflections of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by Fantex. Management believes that the expenses allocated to Fantex are representative of the operating expenses it would have incurred had Fantex been operating on a stand-alone basis.

 

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties—The Company is an early stage start-up and as such has not yet been able to demonstrate the long term viability of its business model. The Company can be affected by a variety of factors. Management of the Company believes that the following areas represent some of the more significant risks that could have a significant negative effect on the Company in terms of its future financial position, results of operations or cash flows:

2. TRACKING STOCKS

 

To date, we have entered into a number of brand contracts, and we have created or intend to create a tracking stock related to one or more brand contracts with each of:

 

 

 

---

* The initial public offerings for these tracking stocks were completed prior to the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC.

 

A tracking stock is a type of common stock that the issuing company intends to reflect or “track” the economic performance of a particular business or “group”, and in the Company’s case, the economic performance of the related brand contract, rather than the economic performance of the company as a whole. While the tracking stocks have separate collections of assets and liabilities attributed to them, no brand contract is a separate legal entity and therefore no brand contract can own assets, issue securities or enter into legally binding agreements.

 

Holders of tracking stocks have no direct claim to the attributed net assets of the tracking stock and are not represented by separate boards of directors. Instead, holders of tracking stock are stockholders of Fantex, with a single board of directors and subject to all of the risks and liabilities of Fantex.

---

 

See Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for unaudited attributed financial information for Fantex’s tracking stocks that were publicly traded during the reporting period.

 

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company will continue to rely on the Parent to conduct its operations until such time as the Company’s cash flows are sufficient to finance operations. The Company operates under a management agreement with the Parent, pursuant to which the Parent provides Fantex with management and administrative services, including providing and compensating the Company’s executive management and other personnel, as well as services relating to information technology support, brand management and other support operations, facilities, human resources, tax planning and administration, accounting, treasury and insurance. The Company will begin to assume direct management and administrative responsibilities at such time in the future as the actual cost of these services is less than the service fee to the Parent, which is not anticipated to occur until the Company begins to generate significant cash flows from multiple brand contracts.

 

 Under the terms of the management agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Parent 5% of the amount of the gross cash received by the Company, if any, pursuant to the brand contracts during any quarterly period as remuneration for the services provided. The amount of gross cash received used to calculate this 5% fee will include any portion allocated to a reduction of the carrying value on the financial statements but shall not take into account the changes in fair value of the brand contracts. As such, the service fee under the management agreement will be determined based on the total amount of actual cash received under the brand contracts in a given quarterly period prior to any adjustments for fair value and without regard to the expected cash receipts in such quarter as reflected in the financial statements for that quarter. To the extent the Company receives no cash for any period then we would not owe any fee for any services provided during that period. The Company may evaluate the service fee from time to time to assess the continued appropriateness of the percentage of our cash receipts upon which the service fee is calculated, in light of the services being provided by the Parent at the time and the cost of those services.

 

The Company incurred management fee expenses pursuant to the management agreement of $9,058 and $20,343 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $19,283 and $20,343 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The management fee is included in the total expenses of $1,107,084 and 2,330,726 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively and $926,752 and 2,047,812 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively and represents a cash payment in lieu of an allocation from the Parent for the expenses to operate the Company.

 

All expenses (except our management fee expense incurred for the three and six months ended June 30,  2015 and 2014) were paid by the Parent and allocated to Fantex based on the time spent by employees of the Parent on activities of Fantex, the number of full time equivalent employees performing Fantex activities and direct expenses incurred for the operations of Fantex. The expense allocations have been determined on the basis that Fantex and the Parent considered to be reasonable reflections of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by Fantex and the methodology and assumptions made in the allocations have been consistently applied and are comparable in the periods presented. Management believes that the expenses allocated from the Parent to Fantex, together with the management fee payable by the Company to the Parent under the management agreement, are representative of the operating expenses Fantex would have incurred had it been operated on a stand-alone basis.

 

During the three months ended June 30,  2015 and 2014, the Parent allocated to the Company $1,095,020 and $906,118, respectively, of expenses directly related to the operations of Fantex. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Parent incurred and allocated to the Company $2,262,511 and $1,881,681, respectively, of expenses directly related to the operations of Fantex. The Company converted to capital all of the amounts that were allocated by the Parent to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30,  2015 and 2014.

 

In late 2013 the five independent directors of the Company were granted an aggregate of 100,000 non-qualified options under the Fantex Holdings, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. These options were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Parent’s common stock at the date of grant and have a 10 year

contractual term. The stock options vest ratably over a four year period. The fair market value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the Company used the following methods to determine its underlying assumptions: expected volatilities are based on the historical volatilities of the daily closing price of the public common stock of companies believed comparable to the Parent; the expected term of options granted is based on the simplified method of using the mid-point between the vesting term and the original contractual term and/or average time outstanding method; the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury daily yield curve on the date of grant; and the expected dividend yield is based on the current dividend trend. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and adjusted, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

The Company was allocated from the Parent $6,026 and $12,230 of stock compensation for the three and six months ended June 30,  2015,  respectively, and $6,027 and $12,606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The key assumptions used by the Parent in the valuation model to value the stock option grants were:

 

 

 

The fair value of the options as computed under the Black-Scholes valuation model was calculated to be $0.967 per share. As of June 30,  2015 there are 51,403 shares and $49,707 of compensation expense to be expensed over the remaining 2.06-year vesting period.

 

The below table summarizes the related party transactions involving the initial public offerings completed since January 1, 2014 until June 30, 2015 which were underwritten by the Company’s affiliated broker-dealer, Fantex Brokerage Services, LLC.

 

 

 

 

4. INVESTMENT IN BRAND CONTRACT, AT FAIR VALUE

 

Brand contracts, at fair value, are initially valued at the transaction price. As of June 30, 2015, our brand contracts are considered Level 3 investments because there are no reliable observable market prices for these investments. The Company employs discounted cash flow valuation models that depend on several observable and unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining fair value for Level 3 investments, including: the risk free cost of capital, length of playing career, length of post career, future rates of inflation in salaries and endorsement contracts, and projections of amounts that may be realized through future playing and endorsement contracts. These unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions may differ by brand contract and in the application of the Company’s valuation methodologies. The reported fair value estimates could vary materially if the Company had chosen to incorporate different unobservable pricing inputs or other assumptions for applicable investments.

 

The Company generally considers three categories of potential brand income:

 

---

 

 Category A—Potential brand income related to the portions of existing contracts that have a higher degree of certainty of payment, such as brand income that is very near-term or that is guaranteed under existing included contracts.

 Category B—Potential brand income related to the portions of existing contracts that have a lesser degree of certainty of payment, such as brand income that is payable pursuant to existing included contracts but that depends on longer-term continued satisfactory performance of the Contract Party.

 Category C—Potential brand income related to anticipated future contracts, such as future endorsements, playing contracts and/or additional brand income generated from coaching, broadcasting or the like.

 

As of June 30,  2015 the Company had five brand contracts that are generating income and subject to fair value measurement. The following describes the valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for these brand contracts that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at June 30,  2015.

 

Discount Rates

 

In determining the fair value of the Company’s brand contracts as of June 30,  2015, the Company used discount rates ranging from 4.5% to 20.0%, which the Company believes adequately address the uncertainty inherent in its estimates.

 

Career Length

 

To determine a Contract Party’s expected career length for the brand contracts as of June 30,  2015 the Company’s valuation professionals used proprietary valuation models. Using statistical analysis the Company’s valuation professionals determined a number of factors that were the most statistically relevant to arrive at a deviation from the average career length versus an average player that plays the Contract Party’s position in the National Football League (the “NFL”).

 

Player Contract Values

 

In estimating the value of the future player contracts for Contract Parties, the Company reviewed the contracts for players in the professional sport, retired or active, who are of similar caliber to the applicable Contract Party, who have entered into contracts in a similar era, and who are or were at similar ages and stages in their careers at which the applicable Contract Party is expected to enter into additional player contracts. The values of such contracts are adjusted for inflation to better predict the contract values of any future player contracts.

 

Level 3 Assets

 

The Investments in Brand Contracts at fair value was determined to be $19,088,333 as of June 30,  2015.

 

The table below presents additional data about our Level 3 assets measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of the contract within the Level 3 category. As a result unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category may include changes in the fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the three and six months ended June 30,  2015 were as follows:

 

---

 

 

 

 

Our measurements of changes to the fair value of brand contracts began in the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the three and six months ended June 30,  2014 were as follows:

 

 

Realized losses result from cash that was previously expected to be received that is no longer expected to be received.  Realized gains result from the collection of cash in the current period. Unrealized gain is primarily a result of the passage of time bringing future cash flows closer to the present, which increases the present value of those cash flows. Unrealized loss is primarily a result changes in the timing of estimated cash flows from one time period to a subsequent time period or decreases in the estimated amounts of future cash flows.

 

Balances in “Reclassified to Receivables” column represent amounts paid to the contract party but have not yet been remitted to the Company under the brand contract. Amounts are shown on the condensed balance sheet as “Due from Contract Parties”. Once collected by the Company, these amounts are shown in the “Payments on Brand Contracts” column in the tables above.

 

On March 19, 2015, the Company paid $7,940,000 (less $397,000 held in escrow until six consecutive months of payments of brand amounts have been timely delivered to Fantex) as consideration for future payments as defined under the Alshon Jeffery Brand Contract.

 

On June 2, 2015, the Company paid $3,440,000 (less $172,000 held in escrow until six consecutive months of payments of brand amounts have been timely delivered to Fantex) as consideration for future payments as defined under the Michael Brockers Brand Contract. Michael Brockers paid to the Company $84,891 due under the terms of the Michael Brockers Brand Contract for the period from October 15, 2014 through June 2, 2015.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s brand contracts are discount rates, career length, and comparable NFL contract values. The table below summarizes the general effects of changes in these inputs on the fair value of the brand contact and the range and weighted average of the inputs:

5. INCOME TAXES

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014,  no income tax expense or benefit was recognized.

 

At the periods ended below deferred tax assets consisted of the following:

 

 

 

Because of the Company’s limited operating history and cumulative loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax asset will not be realized. Therefore, the Company provided a full valuation allowance of $4,372,000 and $4,465,000 against the deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The federal statutory income tax rate of 35% is offset by the valuation allowance to reconcile to the effective income tax rate of 0%.

 

As of June 30, 2015 we have federal and state income tax net operating loss carry-forwards of $3,484,000 and $888,000, respectively, which will expire at various dates from 2032 through 2035. Such net operating loss carry-forwards will expire as follows:

 

 

 

The Company adopted a policy to classify accrued interest and penalties as part of the accrued liability for uncertain tax positions, if any, in the provision for income taxes. No accrued interest or penalties were recorded as of June 30, 2015 or 2014. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of this reporting date.

 

The Company files income tax returns in federal and state jurisdictions. At June 30, 2015 and 2014, all tax years were open and may be subject to potential examination in one or more jurisdictions. There are no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities at this time.

 

6.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Income (Loss) per share—The Company computes net income / (loss) per share of its platform common stock and tracking stocks using the two-class method in the financial statements. Basic income / (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The Company has no potentially dilutive common share options or unvested restricted common shares.

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company's capital structure consists of six series of common stocks as listed on the Company’s condensed balance sheets in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  In accordance with the Company's management and attribution policies, the Company attributes assets, liabilities, income and expenses to its tracking stocks to reflect or "track" the economic performance of the associated brand contract, as defined below. Accordingly, the Company attributed 95% of the ABI from the brand contracts to the associated tracking stock and expenses directly attributable to those tracking stocks, such as promotional and marketing-related expenses. The Company also assigns a share of its general liabilities and expenses, such as the management fee from our Parent, to the tracking stocks. For additional information about tracking stocks, see Note 2.

The following table shows the calculation of net income / (loss) for the platform common stock and the five tracking stocks for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015:

 

 

 

 

 

The following table shows the calculation of net income / (loss) for the platform common stock and the one tracking stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, we collected cash and attributed the management fee per the table below:

 

 

 

 

 

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, we collected cash and attributed the management fee per the table below. There were no management fees charged to the Company from our Parent prior to April 28, 2015.

 

 

The total management fee is incurred in the direct expenses of the platform common stock.

 

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The holders of the Company’s platform common stock and each series of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Each series of common stock will vote together as a single class with all other series of common stock, unless otherwise required by law. Delaware law would require holders of a series of stock to vote separately as a single class if the Company were to seek to amend its certificate of incorporation so as to alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of one or more series of a class of stock in a manner that adversely affects the holders of such series of stock, but does not so affect the entire class. In such a case, the holders of the affected series would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment.

 

At any time following the two-year anniversary of the filing of a certificate of designations creating a new tracking stock, the Company’s Board of Directors may resolve to convert such tracking stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the platform common stock at a conversion ratio to be determined by dividing the fair value of a share of such tracking stock by the fair value of a share of the Company’s platform common stock.

 

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On February 28, 2013 Fantex entered into a brand contract with Arian Foster (the “Arian Foster Brand Contract”), a professional football player in the NFL, and The Ugly Duck, LLC, a professional services company affiliated with Arian Foster (together, “Arian Foster”). This brand contract entitles Fantex to receive 20% of Arian Foster’s brand income received from and after February 28, 2013. As consideration for the ABI under the brand contract, Fantex agreed to pay Arian Foster a one-time cash amount of $10.0 million contingent upon our ability to obtain financing for the purchase price. Fantex will have no further financial obligations to Arian Foster under the brand contract once this payment is made, if at all, other than certain obligations to indemnify Arian Foster. According to the terms of the Arian Foster Brand Contract, Arian Foster is not obligated to make payments to us until the upfront payment is made by us to him. As such, there is no currently required payment due to Fantex by Arian Foster. Our ABI under the brand contract is contingent upon our payment of the purchase price.

 

On March 26, 2015, Fantex entered into a brand contract with Kendall Wright (the “Kendall Wright Brand Contract”), a professional football player in the NFL. This brand contract entitles Fantex to receive 10% of Kendall Wright’s brand income after December 1, 2014. As consideration for the ABI under the brand contract, Fantex will pay Kendall Wright a one-time cash amount of $3.125 million contingent upon our ability to obtain financing for the purchase price. Fantex will have no further financial obligations to Kendall Wright under the brand contract once

ITEM 1B: Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts Subject to the Brand Agreement between Fantex, Inc. and Arian Foster and his affiliate The Ugly Duck, LLC dated February 28, 2013

 

The accompanying Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts Subject to the Brand Agreement between Fantex, Inc. (“Fantex”) and Arian Foster and his affiliate The Ugly Duck, LLC (together, the “Contract Party”) dated February 28, 2013 (the “Brand Contract”), present the cash or other consideration received by the Contract Party from included contracts subject to the Brand Contract for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014  (the “Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts”).

 

These Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts reflect the historical cash receipts of the Contract Party that would have been subject to the Brand Contract with Fantex had the Brand Contract been in place beginning January 1, 2014. The Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts reflect the gross amount received by the Contract Party subject to the Brand Contract. Had the Brand Contract been in place beginning January 1, 2014, and subject to the following consideration regarding expired contracts, Fantex would have been entitled to receive 10% of the gross amount received by the Contract Party. The Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts do not reflect earnings of the Contract Party under contracts that had expired and not been renewed as of the signing date of the Brand Contract, as it is not possible to determine if the Contract Party would have excluded these contracts from the Brand Contract. The amounts reflected in the Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts are not necessarily indicative of future cash receipts that will be subject to the Brand Contract.

 

Investors in our Fantex Series Arian Foster Convertible Tracking Stock, par value of $0.0001 (“Fantex Series Arian Foster”), are investing in Fantex and not in the Brand Contract or Arian Foster. However, Fantex Series Arian Foster is intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the assets to be attributed to the Arian Foster Brand. Only Fantex will have rights under the Brand Contract and recourse against Arian Foster.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements—The accompanying interim Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the related information contained in the notes to the statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim information has been prepared on the same basis as the annual Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts and, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  

 

The Brand Contract will entitle Fantex to 20% of the Contract Party’s cash or other considerations received from included contracts from the effective date of the Brand Contract and cash or other considerations received from future contracts resulting from certain activities of the Contract Party. These certain activities, defined under the terms of the Brand Contract as the “Field,” include activities in connection with being a football player, broadcasting, coaching, motion pictures, television, radio, music, literary, talent engagements, personal appearances, public appearances in places of amusement and entertainment, records and recording, publications, and the use of Contract Party’s name, voice, likeness, biography or talents for purposes of advertising and trade, including without limitation sponsorships, endorsements and appearances, and any other activities in which Contract Party uses its name, likeness or reputation to generate cash or other considerations received, unless such activities are specifically excluded by the Brand Contract. In the event that there is any ambiguity as to whether an activity is in the Field, Fantex and the Contract party shall discuss in good faith to consider whether such activity is of the type typically performed by the Contract Party in the principal business (such activities may include sports casting, coaching, acting as spokesperson, etc.). If a resolution is not reached within 30 days from the initial discussions Fantex or the Contract Party may remit the matter to arbitration.

 

The effectiveness of the Brand Contract is subject to the successful acquisition of financing, which Fantex intends to acquire by conducting a registered public offering (“Offering”) of tracking stock intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the assets to be attributed to the Arian Foster Brand, unless such condition is otherwise waived by Fantex. If the Offering is not successful the Brand Contract is not expected to be effective and in such case Fantex will not have rights to collect any future cash receipts under the Brand Contract.

 

These Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts were prepared from the historical records of the Contract Party and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Contract Party’s cash receipts. Cash receipts will only be earned by Fantex under the Brand Contract subsequent to the effective date of the Brand Contract. In the event the Contract Party does not receive cash or other considerations, no amounts are due to Fantex. No other consideration was received under the included contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts Subject to the Brand Agreement between Fantex, Inc. (“Fantex”) and Michael Brockers and his affiliate Brockers Marketing, LLC (together the “Contract Party”) dated January 9, 2015 (the “Brand Contract”), present the cash or other considerations received by the Contract Party from included contracts (see Note 2) subject to the Brand Contract for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014  (the “Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts”).

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements—The accompanying interim Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the related information contained in the notes to the statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim information has been prepared on the same basis as the annual Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts and, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  

 

The Brand Contract entitles Fantex to 10% of the Contract Party’s cash or other considerations received from included contracts from the effective date of the Brand Contract and cash or other considerations received from future contracts resulting from certain activities of the Contract Party (such monies, the “acquired brand income” or “ABI”). These certain activities, defined under the terms of the Brand Contract as the “Field,” include activities in or substantially related to being a football player, broadcasting, coaching, motion pictures, television, radio, music, literary, talent engagements, personal appearances, public appearances in places of amusement and entertainment, records and recording, publications, and the use or license of Contract Party’s name, voice, likeness, biography or talents for purposes of advertising and trade, including without limitation sponsorships, endorsements and appearances, and any other activities in which Contract Party uses or licenses its name, likeness or reputation to generate cash or other considerations received, unless such activities are specifically excluded by the Brand Contract. In the event that there is any ambiguity as to whether an activity is in the Field, Fantex and the Contract party shall discuss in good faith to consider whether such activity is of the type typically performed by the Contract Party in the principal business (such activities may include sports casting, coaching, acting as spokesperson, etc.). If a resolution is not reached within 30 days from the initial discussions Fantex or the Contract Party may remit the matter to arbitration.

 

These Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts reflect the historical cash receipts of the Contract Party that would have been subject to the Brand Contract with Fantex had the Brand Contract been in place beginning January 1, 2014. The Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts reflect the gross amount received by the Contract Party subject to the Brand Contract. Had the Brand Contract been in place beginning January 1, 2014, and subject to the following consideration regarding expired contracts, Fantex would have been entitled to receive 10% of the gross amount received by the Contract Party. The Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts do not reflect earnings of the Contract Party under contracts that had expired and not been renewed as of the signing date of the Brand Contract, as it is not possible to determine if the Contract Party would have excluded these contracts from the Brand Contract.

 

The Brand Contract became effective May 2, 2015 with the successful acquisition of financing, which Fantex acquired by conducting a registered public offering (“Offering”) of tracking stock intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the assets to be attributed to the Michael Brockers Brand.

 

These Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts were prepared from the historical records of the Contract Party and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Contract Party’s cash receipts. Cash receipts will only be earned by Fantex under the Brand Contract subsequent to the effective date of the Brand Contract. In the event the Contract Party does not receive cash or other considerations, no amounts are due to Fantex.  The Statements of Cash Receipts from Included Contracts are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes hereto presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, the following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. Factors that could cause or contribute to such subsequent events and developments include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed, or incorporated by reference, in Part II, “Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.” However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

We are a brand acquisition, marketing and brand development company whose focus is on acquiring minority interests in the income associated with the brands of professional athletes and entertainers and assisting such individuals in enhancing the reach and value of the brands we acquire. The business operates in a single segment and our focus is on three core areas:

 

 

We acquire the minority interest by negotiating a significant upfront payment in exchange for the future income streams of the counter party and entering into a contract (which we refer to as a “brand contract”). Our primary method to finance the purchase price of each brand contract is through an initial public offering of a tracking stock linked to the value of such brand.

 

We were incorporated on September 14, 2012 in Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fantex Holdings, our Parent. Fantex Holdings was incorporated in Delaware on April 9, 2012 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. We are currently an early stage start up and have to date relied on our Parent to conduct our operations through its employees. To date, our operations have consisted of evaluating, targeting and accessing brands and negotiating the acquisition of minority interests in those brands that meet our criteria.

 

 

 

---

 

To date, we have entered into brand contracts with each of the following parties:

 

 

 

* The initial public offerings for these tracking stocks were completed prior to the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC.

 

We intend to enter into additional brand contracts in the future and we are actively pursuing these brand contracts, although as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,  we have no current commitments to enter into another brand contract. Any brand contracts that we enter into in the future with other parties, whom we refer to as Contract Parties, are also expected to be contingent upon obtaining financing to fund the acquisition of the interest in the brand income of the respective brands. We intend to finance the acquisition of additional brand income through the issuance of additional tracking stocks linked to the value of such brand income

 

We operate under a management agreement with our Parent, who provides us with management and administrative services, including providing and compensating our executive management and other personnel as well as services relating to information technology support, brand management and other support, operations, facilities, human resources, tax planning and administration, accounting, treasury and insurance. We will begin to assume management and administrative tasks at such time in the future as the actual cost of these services is less than our service fee to Fantex Holdings, which we do not anticipate will occur until we begin to generate significant cash flows from multiple brand contracts. However, if our Parent is unable to perform any of the services that it is required to perform under the management agreement, due to financial difficulty or otherwise, then we may be forced to assume management and administrative tasks, and incur additional expenses, sooner than we anticipate. Until such time, we will continue to rely on our Parent to conduct our operations in accordance with the management agreement.

Brand Contract and Tracking Stock Initial Public Offering Activity During the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we signed zero brand contracts compared to one brand contract in the same period for 2014: the Mohamed Sanu brand contract. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we signed three brand contracts: the Michael Brockers brand contract, the Jack Mewhort brand contract and the Kendall Wright brand contract. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we signed two brand contracts: the EJ Manuel brand contract and the Mohamed Sanu brand contract.

 

We completed one initial public offering for our tracking stocks during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and two initial public offerings for our tracking stocks during the six months ended June 30, 2015. This compares to completing one initial public offering of our tracking stocks for the three and six month period ending June 30, 2014.  For additional discussion of this activity, see the section entitled “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

Results of Operations

 

Three and six months ended June 30,  2015 and 2014.

 

Income from Brand Contracts

 

We have little operational history and first began to generate income in the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The income generated from our brand contracts is based primarily on the change in fair market value of these contracts subsequent to their purchase. We account for our brand contracts at estimated fair market value, as more fully described in the Note 4 to our Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 the change in fair value of our brand contract portfolio resulted in a loss of $671,143 and income of  $866,132, respectively, compared to income of $175,181 for both the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2014 .  The year over year change was primarily the result of acquiring additional contracts and, during the second quarter of 2015, a change in the estimated timing of certain cash flows under our brand contract with Alshon Jeffery, as described below.

 

The change in the fair value of our brand contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 is summarized below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of our contracts performed generally as anticipated in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 except for our contract with Alshon Jeffery. In our valuation of the Alshon Jeffery Brand Contract, we

---

 

assumed that Alshon Jeffery would renegotiate his contract prior to the 2015 NFL season and receive a 6 year, $79.4 million contract including a $17.8 million signing bonus and in 2021, he would sign a 2 year, $20.7 million contract with a $1.5 million signing bonus. We no longer believe he will renegotiate his contract prior to the beginning of the 2015 NFL season. As a result of this change, we performed a revaluation of Alshon Jeffery’s comparable contracts as of June 30, 2015. The decrease in comparable NFL player contracts resulted in a decrease in the fair value Alshon Jeffery’s brand contract. Additionally, they delay by one year in signing a new NFL player contract from the 2015 NFL season to the 2016 NFL season, decreased Alshon Jeffery’s second NFL contract length from a two year contract to a one year contract. Please refer to Note 4 for the effects of changes of unobservable inputs on fair values of brand contracts. We now estimate that Alshon Jeffery will sign a 6 year, $76.8 million contract with an $18.3 million signing bonus before the beginning of the 2016 NFL season and in 2022, he will sign a 1 year, $7.5 million contract with a $1.6 million signing bonus.

 

The changes in our estimates for the timing and amounts of these new cash flows resulted in an unrealized loss of approximately $1.8 million for the Alshon Jeffery Brand Contract for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.  

 

The increase in present value for the Michael Brockers Brand Contract is for the period from the contract inception date of October 15, 2014 through March 31, 2015.  

 

We made no other material changes to our assumptions in determining brand income for the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 other than as described above. See additional information on our brand contract valuations in “Critical Accounting Policies— Fair Value of Financial Instruments— Brand Contract Values” beginning on page 2 in this Form 10-Q.

 

The change in the fair value of our brand contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is summarized below:

 

 

On May 2, 2014, the Company paid $4,000,000 (less $200,000 held in escrow until six consecutive months of payments of brand amounts had been timely delivered to Fantex) as consideration for future payments as defined under the Vernon Davis Brand Contract.  From May 2, 2014 through June 30, 2014, Vernon Davis paid to the Company $406,868 due under the terms of the Vernon Davis Brand Contract for the period October 31, 2013 through June 30, 2014.2015.

 

We made no other material changes to our assumptions in determining brand income for the three or six months ended June 30, 2014.

Operating Expenses

 

The operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30,  2014 and 2015 reflect costs incurred to develop and operate our business. All such costs to date except those under our management agreement with our Parent, have been allocated to us from our Parent. Expenses such as personnel and facility costs were primarily allocated based on the estimated number of full time equivalent (FTE) employees working on activities associated with us. All personnel costs were allocated based on an estimated percentage of time spent on our activities. Facility costs were allocated based on the FTE employees associated with us as a percentage of all employees of our Parent.

---

 

All other costs were specifically identified and charged to us as determined by management. All estimates are deemed to be reasonable and reflect, in the best judgment of our management, the costs associated with our activities.

 

Operating Expenses for three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

 

We currently have no employees, but are being supported by personnel employed by our Parent. Personnel costs increased $59,753 or 19.6% for the three months ended June 30,  2015 from the same period in 2014. The increase was driven by an additional 2.5 FTE employees being allocated to us in 2015. The additional FTE employees are involved in activities related to brand contract acquisitions and valuations and compliance with public company reporting requirements.

 

Professional services, primarily made up of legal, accounting and marketing services increased $129,336 or 28.8% from the same period in 2014.  The increase was primarily related to marketing costs associated building our brand marketing capabilities and supporting infrastructure.  We believe that our overall professional services related spending will continue to increase over time as we grow our athlete brand pipeline and continue to build our regulatory compliance function, brand contract administration and accounting infrastructure.

 

General and administrative expenses (exclusive of personnel costs) decreased $8,757 or 5.08% from the same period in 2014. The general and administrative expenses consist primarily of the allocation of facility, insurance and travel-related costs. The slight decrease was associated with lower travel and entertainment costs in the three months ended June 30, 2015 from the same period in 2014 which experienced higher travel costs in connection with the offering of our first tracking stock, Fantex Series Vernon Davis have not repeated in subsequent offerings.  

 

As our operations mature, we expect to continue to incur expenses of the type and nature described above. In addition, we expect to incur additional management fees pursuant to our management agreement with our Parent. For the three months ended June 30,  2015, the Company incurred fees from our Parent of $9,058 representing 5% of the cash receipts from brand contracts. Future increases will be dependent upon the cash received from our brand contracts.

 

Operating Expenses for six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

 

Personnel costs increased $108,175 or 17.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the same period in 2014. The increase was driven by an additional 2.5 FTE employees being allocated to us in 2015. The additional FTE employees are involved in activities related to brand contract acquisitions, valuations and additional support in compliance with being a public company.

 

Professional services, primarily made up of legal, accounting and marketing services increased $103,916 or 9.5% from the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily related to state specific franchise and securities filing fees of approximately $62,000, financial printing and reporting costs of approximately $25,000 and marketing costs associated with our athlete brand building reporting platform of approximately $16,000 We believe that our

---

 

overall professional services related spending will continue to increase over time as we grow our athlete brand pipeline and continue to build our regulatory compliance function, brand contract administration and accounting infrastructure.

 

General and administrative expenses (exclusive of personnel costs) increased $70,823 or 23.7%. The general and administrative expenses consist primarily of the allocation of facility, insurance and travel-related costs. The increase is primarily caused by higher travel and entertainment costs of approximately $33,000 and directors and officers insurance costs of approximately $28,000 in the first six months of 2015 as compared to 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date, we have relied significantly on our Parent for liquidity and capital resources. During the three months ended June 30,  2015, we completed our initial public offering of Fantex Series Michael Brockers and collected ABI from our other consummated brand contracts. In the initial public offering of Fantex Series Michael Brockers we raised $3.44 million net of underwriting discounts and expenses, and substantially all of the net proceeds were paid to Michael Brockers to consummate the Michael Brockers brand contract. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015 we completed one additional initial public offering to consummate the Alshon Jeffery brand contract. In total we raised approximately $11.38 million net of underwriting discounts and expenses. Substantially all of the net proceeds were paid to the contact counterparty to consummate their respective brand contracts.

 

For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014, the company completed one initial public offering raising $4.0 million net of underwriting discounts and expenses, and substantially all of the net proceeds were paid to consummate the Vernon Davis Brand Contract.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 we collected $181,174 and $385,690, respectively, from our brand contracts representing our interest in brand income generated by the contracts. We collected $406,869 from our brand contract for three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Cash received under our brand contracts will be subject to seasonal variation. For example, the salary under NFL player contracts is usually paid out in even installments during the course of the NFL season, or as a signing bonus according to varying schedules. The NFL season occurs primarily in the third and fourth quarters of each calendar year with lower or no payments coming from NFL contracts in the first and second quarters of the calendar year. 

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company exercised its co-investment right under the terms of the brand contract with Vernon Davis in connection with Vernon Davis’s purchase of three Jamba Juice franchises. Mr. Davis was offered this opportunity in connection with an expanded endorsement relationship. The Company paid $110,800 for a 10% ownership interest in the franchises and per our attribution policy, will attribute 95% of the cash flows from this investment to Fantex Series Vernon Davis.

 

On April 20, 2015 our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share to be paid to the holders of record of Fantex Series Vernon Davis as of the close of business on April 24, 2015, for an aggregate payment of $205,550. The dividend was paid on April 28, 2015. The foregoing dividend payment did not have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources.

 

On May 31, 2015 our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share to be paid to the holders of record of Fantex Series Mohamed Sanu as of the close of business on June 30, 2015, for an aggregate payment of $32,860. The dividend was paid on July 30, 2015. The foregoing dividend payment did not have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources.

 

Our Parent contributed capital in the amounts $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in the three months ended June 30,  2015 and 2014.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our Parent contributed capital of $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The contributed capital includes expenses paid by our Parent on our behalf and allocated to us as expenses. Our Parent will continue to fund our liquidity and capital

resource needs either through direct cash contributions, non-cash contributed capital for direct and indirect expenses, or a combination of both.

 

We are not committed to any capital expenditures and certain agreements, such as rental commitments, are in the name of our Parent. We expect, however, that our operations (excluding upfront payments under future brand contracts) will continue to consume substantial amounts of cash as we continue to build our platform of brands and our internal marketing, compliance and other administrative functions. Since April 28, 2014, we have been operating under a management agreement with our Parent, pursuant to which our Parent provides us with certain management and administrative services, including providing and compensating our executive management and other personnel, as well as services relating to information technology support, brand management and other support operations, facilities, human resources, tax planning and administration, accounting, treasury and insurance. The below table summarizes the management fees incurred during the periods noted.

 

 

The management fee represents a fee equal to 5% of the amount of gross cash received by us from our brand contracts and will vary based on the timing of cash collected from the contract party. The expense allocation from our Parent was reduced by the amount of the management fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

We will begin to assume management and administrative tasks at such time in the future as the actual cost of these services is less than our service fee to Fantex Holdings, which we do not anticipate would occur until we begin to generate significant cash flows from multiple brand contracts. However, if our Parent is unable to perform any of the services that they are required to perform under the management agreement, due to financial difficulty or otherwise, then we may be forced to assume management and administrative tasks, and incur additional expenses, sooner than we anticipate. Until such time, we will continue to rely on our Parent to conduct our operations in accordance with the management agreement. We are dependent on the continued support of our Parent; at this time our Parent intends to continue to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. Our Parent has no obligation to continue to finance our operations except as required under our management agreement with them.

 

We believe the net proceeds from our offerings together with existing cash and cash equivalents and our Parent’s capital contributions will be sufficient to fund our projected capital needs and operating expenses for the next 12 months. However, if our operating and other expenses are higher than we expect or our cash receipts from brand contracts are lower than we expect then we may require higher than expected contributions from our Parent. In addition, if there is insufficient investor demand for any of our future offerings our parent may have to expend additional funds to act as a standby purchaser for such offering or else we may not be able to consummate such offering. In any such event, our Parent may need to raise additional capital sooner than expected.

 

Any brand contracts that we enter into in the future with other contract parties may require us to make substantial upfront payments to acquire the ABI under such brand contracts. We do not, in the absence of a related financing, expect to have the necessary funds that we would need to make any of these upfront payments under future brand contracts. Therefore, we expect that our future brand contracts will be contingent upon obtaining financing to fund the acquisition of the ABI in the respective brands, and we intend to finance these acquisitions through the issuance of additional tracking stock linked to the value of such brands. Until such time as our operations generate sufficient cash to meet the liquidity needs of our business, if ever, we expect to finance future cash needs through existing cash balances and reliance on our parent.

 

In addition, cash received under our brand contracts will be subject to seasonal variation. For example, the salary under NFL player contracts is usually paid out in even installments during the course of the NFL season, or as a signing bonus according to varying schedules. The NFL season occurs primarily in the third and fourth quarters of each calendar year and therefore, we expect that there will be seasonal fluctuations in our attributed brand income receipts.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management will evaluate these estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. Estimates will be based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumptions and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our financial statements are described below.

 

Fair Value Option

 

The brand contracts represent a right to receive certain cash flows from the contract parties, and therefore, the brand contracts meet the definition of a financial asset under GAAP. As financial assets, the brand contracts are precluded from being accounted for as intangible assets. We have elected to account for the brand contracts using the fair value option, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. We believe measurement of the brand contracts at fair value provides the most meaningful information to users of our financial statements, because the value of the brand contracts may increase or decrease over time based on future events. We believe that the change in fair value through net income or loss provides a better indicator of the performance of the brand contracts for a given period, enhances transparency, and is more in line with how we manage the risks of the brand contracts.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models may involve a significant level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined under GAAP, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, and are as follows:

 

A significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is an indication that transactions or quoted prices may not be representative of fair value because in such market conditions there may be increased instances of transactions that are not orderly. In those circumstances, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value.

 

---

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and the current market conditions. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by our management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset. The variability of the observable inputs affected by the factors described above may cause transfers between Levels 1, 2, and/or 3, which our management recognizes at the end of the reporting period.

 

Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain assets, our management may classify assets as Level 3 if they determine that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are not available. Management has determined that all of our contracts should be classified as Level 3. The valuation models used for the assets and liabilities that are valued using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

 

Valuation Process

 

The valuation process involved in Level 3 measurements for assets and liabilities will be completed on no less than a quarterly basis, provided that we do not intend to update the on-field statistical performance data used in our valuation models, including those that we used to estimate career longevity and potential future playing contracts, more frequently than on an annual basis based on a full season of on-field statistical performance data, or at such time as there is a material event that we believe would have a long-term material impact on these estimates and the potential brand income resulting from these estimates. The valuation process is designed to subject the valuation of Level 3 investments, including our brand contracts, to an appropriate level of consistency, oversight and review.

 

Our internal valuation professionals, which include employees of both Fantex and our parent, Fantex Holdings, are responsible for estimating fair value based on various factors including:

 

---

 

In addition, we consider a number of qualitative factors to develop estimates used in our models, including:

 

 

We consider all of these factors to estimate brand income for use in a discounted cash flow model. These estimates include amounts based on existing contracts as well as our estimates of amounts to be received for anticipated future contracts. With respect to existing contracts we consider that certain amounts are reasonably assured of realization, but that most earnings from existing contracts depend on continued satisfactory performance. To determine the amount of the purchase price of a brand contract and a current fair value we apply discount rates to our estimates of earnings.

 

In general, we apply lower discount rates to amounts associated with existing contracts, particularly portions of those contracts that have a higher degree of certainty of payment, and higher discount rates to amounts associated with future potential earnings under existing contracts and to potential earnings under anticipated future contracts. Further, discount rates rise over time to reflect that uncertainty increases over time.

 

The valuation professionals, which consist of employees of our parent, Fantex Holdings, will document their considerations of this data and it is then reviewed by a valuation committee consisting of management of our parent, Fantex Holdings, and our officers, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. We then utilize the approved valuation as a basis to negotiate the purchase price of a brand contract. We will follow the same process on no less than a quarterly basis to estimate the fair value of the brand contracts that are then in effect.

 

If the estimates of brand income prove to be too high and/or the discount rates used in the calculation prove to be too low then the valuation of a brand contract may be too high which will result in the recording of a loss on the brand contract.

 

Brand Contracts, at Estimated Fair Value

The negotiated value of our brand contracts, including those brand contracts discussed below and brand contracts with any future contract parties, have been and will continue to be based on a discounted cash flow model using the procedures described above.

In our analysis we generally consider three categories of potential brand income:

---

 

Brand Contract Values

In estimating the value of the brand contracts with all of our contract parties, we review (i) the existing playing contracts of our contract parties , (ii) the playing contracts for other players, retired or active who we believe are of similar caliber to the contract party and who have entered into contracts in a similar era, and are or were at similar stages in their career at which the contract party is expected to enter into additional player contracts. The values of such comparable playing contracts are adjusted for inflation to better predict the contract values of future playing contracts for our contract parties. In addition we also review the existing endorsement contracts of our contract parties and make certain estimates with respect to future endorsement contracts that our contract parties may receive. 

Below is a table showing the change in fair value of our brand contract portfolio by Category A, Category B and Category C from the inception date of all of our completed brand contracts through June 30, 2015.

Estimated Fair Value of Brand Contracts Consummated as of June 30, 2015

 

Michael Brockers Brand Contract, at Estimated Fair Value

On January 9, 2015 we entered into a brand contract with Michael Brockers and his affiliated company, Brockers Marketing, LLC. At that time we estimated the fair value of the brand contract to be approximately $3.4 million. On May 29, 2015, we completed the initial public offering of our Fantex Series Michael Brockers. On June 2, 2015, as consideration for ABI under the Michael Brockers brand contract, we paid Michael Brockers  $3.44 million less ABI due to us under the brand contract for the period between October 15, 2015 and May 29, 2015.

The table below shows our initial estimates, based on the quantitative and qualitative factors described above, of Category A, Category B and Category C brand income for Michael Brockers as a percentage of our estimate of aggregate lifetime brand income, on a gross basis before we applied any discount rates, and on a net basis after we applied our discount rates, as well as the discount rates that we applied to each of these categories in our estimate of brand value:

Alshon Jeffery Brand Contract, at Estimated Fair Value

On September 18, 2014, we entered into a brand contract with Alshon Jeffery and his affiliated company, Ben and Jeffery, Inc. At that time we estimated the fair value of the brand contract to be approximately $7.94 million. On March 19, 2015, we completed the initial public offering of our Fantex Series Alshon Jeffery. On March 19, 2015, as consideration for ABI under the Alshon Jeffery brand contract, we paid Alshon Jeffery approximately $7.94 million less ABI due to us under the brand contract for the period between September 18, 2014 and March 19, 2015.

The table below shows our initial estimates, based on the quantitative and qualitative factors described above, of Category A, Category B and Category C brand income for Alshon Jeffery as a percentage of our estimate of aggregate lifetime brand income, on a gross basis before we applied any discount rates, and on a net basis after we applied our discount rates, as well as the discount rates that we applied to each of these categories in our estimate of brand value:

The most significant assumptions in our determination of fair value for Alshon Jeffery’s brand contract include:

Our brand contract with Alshon Jeffery was consummated on March 19, 2015 when we paid Alshon Jeffery $7,940,000. We did not make any adjustments to the fair value of this brand contract from the brand contract inception date of September 18, 2014 until the consummation of the brand contract as we believed that our significant assumptions listed above continued to be reasonable.

The most significant assumptions in our determination of fair value for Alshon Jeffery brand contract as of June 30, 2015 are:

Below is a table showing the change in fair value of the Alshon Jeffery brand contract by Category A, Category B, and Category C from the brand contract inception date of September 18, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

 

 

The unrealized loss of $1.8 million is driven primarily by changes to our estimates for the timing and amounts of future cash flows.  In our valuation of the Alshon Jeffery Brand Contract, we assumed that Alshon Jeffery would renegotiate his contract prior to the 2015 NFL season and receive a 6 year, $79.4 million contract

---

 

including a $17.8 million signing bonus and that in 2021, he would sign a 2 year, $20.7 million contract with a $1.5 million signing bonus. We no longer believe he will renegotiate his contract prior to the beginning of the 2015 NFL season. As a result of this change, we performed a reevaluation of Alshon Jeffery’s comparable contracts as of June 30, 2015. The decrease in comparable NFL player contracts resulted in a decrease in the fair value Alshon Jeffery’s brand contract. Additionally, they delay by one year in signing a new NFL player contract from the 2015 NFL season to the 2016 NFL season, decreased Alshon Jeffery’s second NFL contract length from a two year contract to a one year contract. Please refer to Note 4 for the effects of changes of unobservable inputs on fair values of brand contracts. We now believe that Alshon Jeffery will sign a 6 year, $76.8 million contract with an $18.3 million signing bonus before the beginning of the 2016 NFL season. In 2022, he would sign a 1 year, $7.5 million contract with a $1.6 million signing bonus.

Arian Foster Brand Contract, at Estimated Fair Value

On February 28, 2013, we entered into a brand contract with Arian Foster and his affiliated company, The Ugly Duck, LLC and amended and restated such contract on each of May 24, 2013 and August 21, 2013. On November 12, 2013, after confirming reports that Arian Foster will undergo season ending back surgery, we announced that we were postponing the offering for Fantex Series Arian Foster. We intend to monitor Arian Foster’s on field performance and health and intend to continue with the offering of Fantex Series Arian Foster at an appropriate time in the future. We cannot guarantee that the offering of Fantex Series Arian Foster will be consummated or that the offering will be resumed upon the same terms or that the valuation of the Arian Foster brand value has not changed.

Income (Loss) From Brand Contracts

We recognize income from brand contracts when cash or other considerations are received by the contract party under included contracts, which is the point at which we earn the right to our proportionate share of amounts received by the contract party. Other considerations received by the contract party may include stock, automobiles, or other items of value. In the event other considerations are received by the contract party, we will recognize income from brand contracts equal to our proportionate share of the estimated fair value of the other considerations received, and will receive payment in either cash or such other considerations based on the contractual arrangement. Amounts due to us under the brand contract are either remitted directly from the source of such income or through payment by the contract party. The brand contract stipulates that income once we earn it is not subject to recapture by the contract party.

For purposes of our financial statements and the notes thereto, cash received under the brand contract will either be recognized as a reduction of our carrying value (i.e., a reduction in the brand contract asset) or income (loss) from brand contracts. Whether cash receipts will be recognized as a reduction of carrying value or income (loss) from brand contracts will depend on the timing and amount of such cash receipt.

Additionally, the timing of changes in our estimates of future cash flows will impact whether cash receipts are recognized as a reduction of our carrying value or as income (loss) from brand contracts. If for example we increase our estimate of future cash flows and such increased cash flows are not received until a future period, such increase will be recognized as income (loss) from brand contracts and the majority of such future cash flow will be recognized as a reduction of carrying value of our investment. If on the other hand our expected cash flows increase and were not foreseen and therefore not expected until the period in which the cash is actually received, the entire cash amount will be recognized as income (loss) from brand contracts.

Expected cash flows will be based on the included contracts the contract party has in place and the expectations of future contracts. As it becomes more likely that the contract party will collect contracted amounts the expected discount rate will decrease. A decrease in the discount rate will result in the receipt of cash primarily being allocated to reduction of carrying value of our investment. The discount rates are determined at the purchase date and are revised each period based on the performance of the brand contract and the likelihood of collection of future contracted amounts.

Income (loss) from brand contracts are based on an estimate of expected cash flows and the associated expected discount rate. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in the expected performance of the brand contract or market factors are included in income (loss) from brand contracts in the statement of operations.

We are entitled to certain information and audit rights pursuant to the brand contracts that enable us to adequately calculate and collect the ABI under the brand contract. In addition to such annual audit rights, we intend to create a contract administration and surveillance division to proactively monitor and administer our rights under

the brand contracts. Following the execution of a brand contract, the contract administration and surveillance division shall prepare a schedule charting the timing and amounts of expected future payments associated with that certain counterparty’s existing contracts that are subject to our brand contract, along with the term and the expected timing each contract would be expected to be renegotiated or renewed. The division will also be tasked with ensuring that all directives to pay Fantex directly have been executed and accepted by the parties making such payments. We will contact the contract party at renewal terms to determine whether the contracts will be renewed and take necessary steps to ensure that any new agreements are covered under the brand contract.

The division will also be tasked with reviewing each brand contract quarterly and to contact each of our contract parties to determine if the parties entered into additional agreements or renegotiated existing agreements that may impact our ABI. To supplement these direct inquiries, this division will also monitor social and mainstream media on at least a weekly basis for information relevant to our brand contract or relationship with each of our contract parties, including trade rumors, reports of new endorsements or other agreements that may be subject to our brand contract with such contract parties, reports of renegotiation of existing agreements and reports of personal behavior that may be beneficial or detrimental to the brand contract in general.

 

In addition to the above, in the event that expected payments are not received on a timely basis (generally within five days of receipt of income by the contract party), we will attempt to contact the contract party and resolve any issues of nonpayment amicably. If our efforts are unsuccessful, any issues with contract payments will initially be escalated to senior management for resolution. Depending on the nature and materiality of the contract party’s nonperformance, we may initiate legal action to recover any unpaid amounts under the brand contract. Significant or continuous nonpayment may be material and may trigger additional disclosure under the Securities Act as well as impair the fair value of the asset on our books.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Deferred tax assets are recorded to the extent management believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations is considered. In the event it is determined that we would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be made, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

Uncertain tax positions are recorded on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority would be recognized.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Our principal contractual obligations are limited to our obligations under our management agreement with our Parent and our brand contracts. We are not committed to any future capital expenditures, including rental commitments, which are solely in the name of our Parent.

Management Agreement

We have entered into a management agreement with our parent, pursuant to which our parent provides us with management and administrative services, including providing and compensating our executive management and other personnel, as well as services relating to information technology support, brand management and other support operations, facilities, human resources, tax planning and administration, accounting, treasury and insurance. We have agreed to pay our parent 5% of the amount of the gross cash received by us, if any, pursuant to our brand contracts during any quarterly period as remuneration for the services provided. The amount of gross cash received used to calculate this 5% fee will include any portion allocated to a reduction of the carrying value on our financial statements but shall not take into account the changes in fair value of the brand contracts. As such, the service fee under the management agreement will be determined based on the total amount of cash received under the brand contracts in a given quarterly period prior to any adjustments for fair value and without regard to the expected cash receipts in such quarter as reflected in the financial statements for that quarter. To the extent we receive no cash for any period then we would not owe any fee for any services provided during that period. We may evaluate the service fee from time to time to assess the continued appropriateness of the percentage of our cash receipts upon which the service fee is calculated, in light of the services being provided by our parent at the time and the cost of those services.

The agreement had an initial term through December 31, 2014, and was automatically renewed for a one-year term through December 31, 2015. It will continue to automatically renew for successive one-year terms each December 31 unless either party provides written notice of its intent not to renew at least three months prior to such renewal. We may also terminate any specific service and/or the agreement, without penalty, with 30 days prior written notice to Fantex Holdings. Fantex Holdings may terminate any specific service and/or the agreement with 180 days prior written notice to us, but if we, using our commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to either perform the services ourselves or enter into a reasonable arrangement with a third party to perform the services that we are unable perform ourselves, then Fantex Holdings will continue to perform such services for an additional period of 180 days.

The agreement contains certain provisions requiring us to indemnify our parent with respect to all losses or damages arising from acts not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, or gross negligence. We have evaluated the impact of these indemnities on our financial statements and determined that they are remote. The management agreement became effective upon the consummation of our first initial public offering on April 28, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
