RE: Not so fast...Here you go:
SEC filing:
https://biz.yahoo.com/e/090914/duss.ob10-q.html
Quoted from the filing:
On April 15, 2009, our company entered into an assignment of royalty
with Jason Dussault, a director and officer of our company. Jason
Dussault had agreed to provide sales and design services under a
merchandising license agreement in consideration for royalty payments
from 4.5% to 7.5% of gross income from sales derived under a
merchandising license agreement. From any royalty payments that would
become payable to Jason Dussault, Mr. Dussault had agreed to assign to
our company 5% of the gross income and has agreed to assign to our
company to his rights, title and interest in and to the amount of the
royalty. We have been advised that the underlying license agreement
with Gene Simmons Company and USPA Accessories LLC has been
terminated. As a result we will not be receiving any assigned royalty
payments.
I take a "terminated" license agreement to mean that they are no longer
doing business. I'm not sure how you could take that any other way?
I also don't see how designing a few snowboards for Flow is a "major" deal?
Opening up their store on Melrose was major, getting the Simmons
deal was major, getting proper US distribution would be major. Designing
a few snowboards? Not major in my books.
Also the chances that the TV pilot will get picked up by anyone outside Canada
are, in my opinion, very slim. This is a brand that has a failed store in LA, a
terminated deal with Gene Simmons, and distribution only in Canada. So I
don't see where a US network would find that appealing to it's audience. The
majority of Paperny's productions air on CBC in Canada (Canada's public
broadcaster), not exactly a bastion of cool and hipness.
I'm not bashing or hating, I just wish Jason would start over with something fresh
and put this to rest. He has too much potential to be wasting his time on a stale brand.
