6. | INVESTMENT AND LOAN IN JOINT VENTURE
In January 2023, the Company acquired a 51% ownership interest in Byrna LATAM, a corporate joint venture formed to expand the Company’s operations and presence in South American markets, for $0.5 million. The Company accounted for the investment in the joint venture using the equity method since the Company did not have voting control of Byrna LATAM. Additionally, the Company did not have substantive participating rights that would result in the Company having control of Byrna LATAM. The Company recorded its share of the joint venture’s losses for the twelve months ended November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2023, of less than $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as loss from joint venture. The carrying value of the Company's investment in the joint venture on November 30, 2024 and 2023, is at zero in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On August 19, 2024, the Company sold it’s 51% ownership interest to Fusady S.A. for $1 (the “LATAM Share Purchase Agreement”) and entered into an exclusive distribution, manufacturing and licensing agreement with Byrna LATAM (the “LATAM Licensing Agreement”). This LATAM Licensing Agreement allows Byrna LATAM to exclusively manufacture the Byrna SD launcher and ammunition in certain South American countries and requires Byrna LATAM to pay the Company a royalty on Byrna products manufactured. The amount of royalty earned and outstanding at end of November 30, 2024, was not material. The LATAM Share Purchase Agreement also includes put and call rights based on defined triggers which expire on August 19, 2029. In January 2023, the Company loaned $1.6 million to Byrna LATAM. The loan bore interest at a rate equal to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 3.0%. Interest income related to the loan receivable was less than $0.1 million for the year ended November 30, 2024. The interest income is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). On August 19, 2024, the loan was amended to fix the loan amount at $1,431,112 plus accrued interest of $203,373 for a total loan amount of $1,634,485. The loan bears an annual rate of interest of 5% per annum. The loan will be repaid in twelve equal installments starting on August 19, 2025. The loan receivable was recorded as loan to joint venture in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the consummation of the LATAM Share Purchase Agreement at which time the Company recorded the current portion of the loan as part of Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the non-current portion is recorded as part of Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 30, 2024.
