Outlook, Risks, Contingencies, and Unusual Items
- The Hollywood Sunshine project requires up to $1.9 million in stated development fees if the Company elects to develop both the PC and iOS versions, in addition to the 9% net-revenue participation.
- Development and delivery timelines depend on the contractual Start Date and successful performance by Blueline; the filing does not describe completion guarantees or development milestones beyond the stated delivery schedule.
