Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | 10. Related Party Transactions IM Topco, LLC As described in Note 2, the Company held a noncontrolling interest in IM Topco as of September 30, 2025. Service Agreement The Company is party to a services agreement with IM Topco that has been amended from time to time, pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain design and support services (including assistance with the operations of the interactive television business and related talent support) to IM Topco in exchange for a service fee. In April 2024, the services agreement was amended to set the service fees at $150,000 per year. ​ In accordance with the terms of this services agreement, the Company recognized service fee income of $0 and $37,500, respectively, within net licensing revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized service fee income related to this services agreement of $112,500 for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. ​ License Agreement ​ The Company was previously party to a license agreement with IM Topco, pursuant to which IM Topco granted the Company a license to use certain Isaac Mizrahi trademarks related to women’s sportswear products in exchange for the payment of royalties to IM Topco. This license agreement was later terminated in favor of a new similar license agreement between IM Topco and an unrelated third party; however, as part of such termination, Xcel had provided a guarantee to IM Topco for the payment of any difference between (i) the royalties received by IM Topco under the new agreement and (ii) the amount of royalties that IM Topco would have received under the original license agreement with Xcel. For all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, royalties received by IM Topco from the third-party agreement were expected to exceed the guaranteed royalties that IM Topco would have received under the original license agreement with Xcel, and thus no royalty expense for any shortfall was recognized for such periods. ​ Additionally, pursuant to the terms of a 2023 amendment to the May 2022 membership purchase agreement, Xcel had agreed to make additional royalty payments to IM Topco totaling $450,000, of which $75,000 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2023, and $237,500 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2024. No payments of these additional royalties were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. ​ Effective September 26, 2025, pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement entered into with IM Topco and WHP (see Note 2 for additional details), the Company was released from any current or future liability related to the aforementioned guarantee to IM Topco and the aforementioned additional royalty payments. ​ Financing Transactions ​ 2025 Public Offering and Private Placement Transactions ​ In connection with the 2025 Offering of 2,181,818 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price to the public of $1.10 per share which was consummated on August 4, 2025 (see Note 7 for additional details), Robert W. D’Loren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mark DiSanto, a director of the Company, purchased 124,200 and 91,800 shares, respectively, at $1.10 per share, the same price at which the shares were sold to other purchasers in the Offering.

Of this amount, $200,000 was repaid to IPX upon the closing of the December 12, 2024 debt transaction, and was subsequently returned by IPX to the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2025 for repayment by the Company at a later date. From time to time, Mr. D'Loren may advance funds to the Company on a short-term basis as necessary. Additionally, IPX purchased a 12.5% undivided, last-out, subordinated participation interest in a portion of the December 2024 Term Loan B debt for a purchase price of $500,000, and received a pro rata share of warrants received by the Term Loan B Lenders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the April 21, 2025 refinancing of the Company's term loan debt (see Note 6 for additional details), IPX’s participation in Term Loan B was repaid and IPX purchased a $500,000 undivided, last-out, subordinated participation interest in Term Loan A.
