On June 30, 2010, the Company’s XOXO license expired and was not renewed. The XOXO intangible asset was fully amortized and written-off on June 30, 2010.

The Company performs a review of its trademark and license intangible assets on a quarterly basis.  As a result, the Company determined that there were no impairments of intangible assets during the nine-months ended December 31, 2011.

On April 3, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Artistic Brands, a licensing company in which entertainment mogul and icon Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter and Rene Garcia are principals (Rene Garcia owns approximately 8.4% of the outstanding stock of Perfumania Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2011). The Agreement allows for the sublicensing of certain worldwide fragrance licenses to the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, on April 7, 2009, the Company entered into sublicense agreements with Artistic Brands for the exclusive rights to worldwide fragrance licenses for multiple Grammy® award winning and multi-platinum selling international entertainers Rihanna and Kanye West. At this time, Artistic Brands is in continuing negotiations for a worldwide fragrance license with Shawn Carter which, if executed, would be sublicensed to the Company.  Further, a fourth celebrity has not been identified by Artistic Brands, and therefore, the Company does not have any plans at the present to launch a fourth celebrity fragrance.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will pay Artistic Brands and the licensors and their designated affiliates, on an annual basis so long as each sublicense agreement remains in effect, a percentage of the cumulative net profits, as defined in the Agreement, earned by the Company on sales of products developed and sold under each license. Also, the Company will assume Artistic Brands' obligation to make royalty payments to the licensors, including any initial guaranteed minimum royalty advance payable to any licensor.
Furthermore, in connection with the sublicense agreements, the Company issued, and may issue in the future, warrants to purchase shares of Parlux common stock, $0.01 par value, at a purchase price of $5.00 per share (“Warrants”) to Artistic Brands, the licensors, the celebrities, and their respective designated affiliates. The Warrants vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and will expire on the eighth anniversary of the date of issuance, or the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, if the applicable licenses are not renewed by the Company as the sub-licensee. The Company issued Warrants to purchase a total of 4,000,000 shares, consisting of Warrants for 2,000,000 shares in connection with the sublicense agreement for Rihanna, and Warrants for 2,000,000 shares in connection with the sublicense agreement for Kanye West.
On December 18, 2009, the Company's stockholders approved the issuance of additional Warrants to Artistic Brands and its designated affiliates to purchase a total of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value, at a purchase price of $5.00 per share, pursuant to an agreement, dated April 3, 2009. The Warrants which consist of Warrants for 1,000,000 shares each in connection with the sublicense agreements, dated April 7, 2009, with Rihanna and Kanye West were issued on December 18, 2009, for a total of 3,000,000 shares per sublicense. In addition, the Company may issue Warrants for 3,000,000 shares each in connection with the sublicense agreements for Shawn Carter and the fourth artist, if and when such sublicenses are entered into. If all of the sublicenses are entered into, Warrants to purchase a total of 12,000,000 shares will be outstanding in connection with the four sublicenses (3,000,000 shares per sublicense). The executed licenses are recorded at the fair value of the warrants issued and will be amortized over a five-year period, commencing as of the launch of the first fragrance under each of the licenses (see Note B for further discussion).

In addition, on April 3, 2009, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Artistic Brands and Rene Garcia, the manager of Artistic Brands, individually, allowing for the acceleration of vesting and immediate exercise of the Warrants for 4,000,000 shares allocable to Rihanna and Kanye West in the event that the Company is acquired by another person or entity (other than Artistic Brands or its affiliates, Rene Garcia or Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter) or concludes a similar change of control transaction prior to April 3, 2012, or if definitive agreements for such a transaction are entered into by April 3, 2012, and consummated within ninety (90) days. In certain circumstances, the letter agreement provides for Artistic Brands to receive cash and/or securities valued up to $10 per share in the event that the Company is acquired by another person or entity (other than Artistic Brands or its affiliates, Rene Garcia or Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter) or concludes a similar change of control transaction prior to April 3, 2012, with respect to the Warrants for 4,000,000 shares allocable to Rihanna and Kanye West to the extent such shares have not been previously sold by the holder into the market or otherwise disposed of by the holder in a bona fide third party transaction. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Parlux, Artistic Brands and Rene Garcia entered into an amendment to this letter agreement providing, among other things, that the Merger will not be such a change of control transaction.

The Warrants vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and expire on the eighth anniversary of the date of issuance, or the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, if the applicable licenses are not renewed by the Company as the sub-licensee.
Concurrently with the signing of the Merger Agreement, Parlux, the licensors and other holders of the Warrants entered into an amendment to the warrants to govern the treatment of the Warrants upon completion of the Merger. The warrant amendment will be effective only if the Merger is consummated. Under the warrant amendment, upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding Warrant will be automatically converted into a warrant to purchase the number of shares of Perfumania common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Parlux common stock subject to the Warrant and (ii) the equity award exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The per share exercise price of each licensor warrant will be equal to $8.00. The warrant amendment also provides that after the completion of the Merger, Perfumania will register the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All of the warrants related to Artistic Brands vest at the effective time of the Merger.
On March 2, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement (the "Sublicense") with Artistic Brands, which amends and restates in its entirety the Agreement, dated April 7, 2009, between the Company and Artistic Brands. Pursuant to the Sublicense, the Company has the exclusive right and license to manufacture, promote, distribute and sell prestige fragrances and related products under the Kanye West name. The initial term of the sublicense expires on March 31, 2017, and is renewable for an additional three-year term if certain sales levels are met. Pursuant to the Sublicense, the Company assumes Artistic Brands' obligation to make royalty payments to the licensor, including any guaranteed minimum royalties.
Perfumania, Parlux, Artistic Brands and Mr. Garcia also entered into a Letter Agreement, dated December 23, 2011 (the “Proposal Agreement”) providing that Artistic Brands and Mr. Garcia will not solicit or negotiate with parties other than Perfumania in connection with the treatment of the licensor warrants or the April 3, 2009 letter agreement. However, in the event that, consistent with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, Parlux engages in discussions or negotiations with a third party regarding an alternative acquisition proposal or enters into an agreement relating to a superior proposal (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), then Mr. Garcia and Artistic Brands may enter into discussions or negotiations with such third party with regard to the treatment of the licensor warrants and/or the April 3, 2009 letter agreement in connection with such acquisition proposal. The parties to the Proposal Agreement also acknowledged that Artistic Brands and S. Carter Enterprises, LLC have agreed to enter into a license agreement and Artistic Brands, Perfumania and S. Carter Enterprises have agreed to enter into a sublicense agreement, both to be effective upon the consummation of the Merger, and subject to certain closing conditions contained in the Proposal Agreement. The Proposal Agreement also provides for the issuance to Artistic Brands or its designee of 300,000 shares of Perfumania common stock after the effective time of the Merger as consideration for the transactions contemplated in the Proposal Agreement. These shares will be entitled to the same registration rights as the shares underlying the licensor warrants.
