As a result of the agreement, Pikes becomes the primary beneficiary of Venti (now a variable interest entity). Pikes’ loan to Venti stipulated a 10 percent (market) rate of interest to be paid annually with principal due in 10 years. On January 1, 2024, Pikes estimated that the fair value of Venti’s equity shares equaled $86,000 while Venti’s book value was $66,000. Any excess fair over book value at that date was attributed to Venti’s trademark with an indefinite life.
