Note 6:      Intangible Assets
 
During the year
ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into several agreements to repurchase regional developer licenses, reacquiring rights in Los Angeles County, San Diego, and Orange County, all located in the state of California, Erie County, Monroe County, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and Albany County, all located in the state of New York, and the regional developer license in New Jersey in exchange for cash consideration of $1,583,000, of which $507,500 was recorded as a cash advance at December 31, 2014.  The Company carried a deferred revenue balance associated with these transactions of $914,000, representing license fees collected upon the execution of the regional developer agreements.  In accordance with ASC 952-605, the Company accounted for the development rights associated with the unsold or undeveloped franchises as cancellations, and the respective deferred revenue was netted against the aggregate purchase price or recognized as revenue to the extent deferred revenue was in excess of the cash consideration paid.   During the year ended December 31, 2015, the revenue recognized as excess deferred regional developer fees totaled $254,250. The remaining balance was accounted for as consideration paid for the reacquired development rights. As the deferred revenue with respect to these regional developer rights had previously been taken into account for income tax purposes, the tax basis in the reacquired development rights is equal to the cash consideration paid.
