Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Loop with Loop as surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Loop in exchange for 152,823,970 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exchange ratio of 1:1. Loop was incorporated on May 18, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations now are focused on premium short-form video for businesses and consumers.

 

We are a multichannel digital platform media company that offers self-curated, premium videos to customers in OOH venues and D2C on their personal in home and mobile devices. We deliver highly curated music video content from major and independent record labels, as well as movie and television trailers, viral videos, drone footage, lifestyle and atmospheric channels, kid friendly content, sports highlights and news clips. We believe we are the only service in the United States licensed by all three major music labels to provide music video content in both the OOH and D2C markets. We curate content seeking to create a compelling user experience by, among other things, curating our carefully selected Playlists Playlists for OOH venues and thoughtfully developed streaming channels (“Channels”) for delivery to our OTT platform partners and to users of our mobile application. Our digital platform service seeks to surround and engage consumers with a diverse offering of video content on their chosen digital screen wherever they are located. We believe we are the only company offering a digital out of home (“DOOH”) service that also has a consumer mobile application, which increases the connectivity and interactivity of our OOH services. 

We operate a “freemium” business model, offering our Service on either a Premium or Ad-Supported basis. We deliver our Service to OOH venues primarily through our proprietary Loop Media-designed Loop Player and to consumers primarily through our fully functional and operational Loop App and across OTT streaming platforms on CTVs. The underlying content that we curate and deliver through our service is predominantly licensed from third parties and consists primarily of music videos. We also offer an increasing range of non-music video content that we are acquiring through additional licenses and producing internally in our Loop Media Studios business division. This additional and diversified content offering is a large part of our business model going forward. We operate almost exclusively in the United States but are looking at further overseas expansion, primarily in Latin America and Asia. 

We are an early-stage media operating company, with limited historical revenue and negative cash flow from operations. Our revenue is generated by advertisers who pay for our ad inventory in order to have their advertisements viewed by the end users of our Ad-Supported Service and by business owners and users who pay a subscription fee to access our Subscription Service without advertisements. Our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, consisted almost entirely of revenue from our historic ScreenPlay business, which is a subscription-based OOH focused business, with little to no advertising revenue and no consumer users, and which does not fully reflect revenues expected from our more recent product and Service offerings and business model. We have begun to record increased revenue share for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as our advertising business model has more recently been deployed and operating more fully.

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

As of June 30, 2021, the Company reported a cash balance of $929,403 and an accumulated deficit of $ (53,715,602). During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company used net cash in operating activities of

Table of Contents

($4,713,000). The Company has incurred net losses since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from debt and equity financing transactions. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of its debt and equity financing efforts.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s further implementation of the Company’s on-going and strategic plans, which include continuing to raise funds through equity and/or debt raises. Should the Company be unable to raise adequate funds, certain aspects of the on-going and strategic plans may require modification. Management is in the process of identifying sources of capital via strategic partnerships, debt refinancing and equity investments through one or more private placements.

The spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world beginning in the first half of 2020 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. While the pandemic could ultimately lead to a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company, at the time of issuance, the extent of the impact is uncertain. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's future operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of filing this report.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2021, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 15, 2021.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with US GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Business Combinations

The Company recognizes separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination at the acquisition date fair value. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company uses best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date,

9

Table of Contents

however, estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company issues cash, equity, or a combination thereof as consideration when consummating business combinations. The Company evaluates the nature of the consideration given and any restrictions on use to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. Cash consideration and equity awards without performance conditions are generally accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.

Equity method investments

 

The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting if it could exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an entity but does not have a controlling financial interest. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income (loss) resulting from these investments are reported under the line-item captioned equity method investment income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of our equity method investments is reported in equity method investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s equity method investments are reported at cost and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividend paid, if any. The Company assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of other equity and debt instruments, fair value of intangible assets, recoverability of license content assets, and useful lives of assets.

License Content Assets

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the guidance in  Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-02, Entertainment—Films—Other Assets—Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment—Broadcasters—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, on a prospective basis. The Company capitalizes the fixed content fees and its corresponding liability when the license period begins, the cost of the content is known, and the content is accepted and available for streaming. The Company amortizes licensed content assets into cost of revenue, using the straight-line method over the contractual period of availability. The liability is paid in accordance with the contractual terms of the arrangement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy established by the accounting guidance that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

10

Table of Contents

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology is one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, deposits, short-term portion of notes receivable and notes payable, and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company does not have financial assets or liabilities that are required under US GAAP to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has not elected to use fair value measurement option for any assets or liabilities for which fair value measurement is not presently required.

 

The Company records assets and liabilities at fair value on nonrecurring basis as required by US GAAP. Assets recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property and equipment, operating lease assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired.

Net Loss per Share

The Company accounts for net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. It excludes the dilutive effects of any potentially issuable common shares.

Diluted net loss per share is calculated by including any potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator.

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted shares at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Application of New Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures effective January 1, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements, it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. As well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Adoption of the ASU can either be on a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 8 – NOTE PAYABLE

PPP loan round 1

On May 10, 2021, the Company received a notification from the Small Business Association for the full forgiveness of the PPP loan of $573,500 received on April 27, 2020. The first round of PPP loans forgiven consisted of $573,500 principal and $5,986 accrued interest; are included in other income for the period ending June 30, 2021.

PPP loan round 2

On April 26, 2021, the Company received the proceeds from a loan in the amount of $486,638, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act (“PPP”). The loan matures on April 19, 2026, and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of April 19, 2021, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. All or a portion of the loan may be forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) upon application by the Company beginning 8 weeks but not later than 24 weeks (“covered period”) after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. The loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Repayment begins 10 months after the covered period (any length between eight and 24 weeks) with payments to begin July 31, 2022. The current portion of the loan is $0, assuming payments will begin on July 31, 2022. Principal payments are $0 in 2021, $57,330 in 2022, $127,295 in 2023, $128,566 in 2024, and $173,447 in 2025 and thereafter. Interest expense for the period ending June 30, 2021, is $960.

In the event the loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal. While the Company intends to apply for the forgiveness of the loan, there is no assurance that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the loan for qualifying expenses.

 

The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to consider its current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

NOTE 13 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Options

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from using the Company’s historical stock prices. The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees. For employees, the Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the "simplified" method, which is used for "plain-vanilla" options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options.

We operate almost exclusively in the United States but are looking at further overseas expansion, primarily in Latin America and Asia. 

We are an early-stage media operating company, with limited historical revenue and negative cash flow from operations. Our revenue is generated by advertisers who pay for our ad inventory in order to have their advertisements viewed by the end users of our Ad-Supported Service and by business owners and users who pay a subscription fee to access our Subscription Service without advertisements. Our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, consists almost entirely of revenue from our historic ScreenPlay business, which is a subscription-based OOH focused business, with little to no advertising revenue and no consumer users, and which does not fully reflect revenues expected from our more recent product and Service offerings and business model. We have begun to record increased revenue share for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as our advertising business model has more recently been deployed and operating more fully.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Developments

Impact of COVID-19

 

The spread of COVID-19 around the world is continuing to affect the United States and global economies and may affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including by causing disruptions in staffing, order fulfillment, and demand for product. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may affect our revenue significantly in 2021, as it had in 2020. Additionally, while the potential ongoing negative economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is still difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact our short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 is highly uncertain and subject to change.

 

As COVID-19 continues to evolve, the extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and changes in the severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to try and contain COVID-19 or treat its impact. The Company continues to monitor the ongoing pandemic and, the extent to which the continued spread of the virus adversely affects our customer base and therefore revenue. As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the Company’s plans as described above may change. At this point, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, which could have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   

Fair value measurements

 

The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy established by the accounting guidance that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1

25

Table of Contents

measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology is one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, deposits, short-term portion of notes receivable and notes payable, and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company does not have financial assets or liabilities that are required under the US GAAP to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has not elected to use fair value measurement option for any assets or liabilities for which fair value measurement is not presently required.

 

The Company records assets and liabilities at fair value on nonrecurring basis as required by the US GAAP. Assets recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property and equipment, operating lease assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired.

 

License Content Assets

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2019-02, Entertainment—Films—Other Assets—Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment—Broadcasters—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, on a prospective basis. The Company capitalizes the fixed content fees and its corresponding liability when the license period begins, the cost of the content is known, and the content is accepted and available for streaming. If the licensing fee is not determinable or reasonably estimable, no asset or liability is recorded, and licensing costs are expenses as incurred. The Company amortizes licensed content assets into cost of revenue, using the straight-line method over the contractual period of availability. The liability is paid in accordance with the contractual terms of the arrangement.

Revenues

Content and streaming services increased $343,242 and 91% quarter over quarter primarily due to advertising revenue share of $365,835. Content subscription services increased $175,772 and 75% quarter over quarter due to the introduction of Loop Stick revenues of $58,076 and the increase in ScreenCast subscription revenues of $140,813. In Q2 2021 two larger bar and gym chain customers resulted in increase in ScreenCast subscription revenues.

Cost of revenue

The increase of $590,698 and 342% in Cost of revenues was due to $308,590 in license content asset amortization, not amortized in previous year, in addition to $110,791 in licensing cost actuals, as well as Loop player inventory costs of sales of $134,286.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $2,631,131 Q2 21 vs Q2 20 primarily due to personnel costs along with increased marketing activities.

27

Table of Contents

Other income and expenses

The interest expense increased $ (386,990) quarter over quarter due to the increase in convertible debenture borrowings period over period. The $579,486 gain on extinguishment is due to loan forgiveness on the first PPP loan (see Note 8).

Revenues

The Company’s revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from June 30, 2020, by $492,708 or 34%. Content and streaming services increased $335,116 and 44% driven by advertising revenue share of $365,835. The year over year increase of $155,033 and 24% in Content subscription services is due to Screencast subscription revenue increase due to bar and gym customer revenue growth and Loop stick subscription revenues of $42,506 verses $0 year over year.

Cost of revenue

The cost of revenue increased by 287% and $1,103,017 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same comparable period in 2020 primarily due license content asset amortization, contractor costs, and inventory costs. License content amortization was $610,397 verses $0 over the same period last year. Actual licensing costs increased $104,648 as well. Loop player equipment inventory costs increased $193,156 versus $0 period over period due to the introduction of the product in Q3 2020.

Table of Contents

Total Operating Expenses

Total Selling, General and Administration increased in the six months ended June 30, 2021, over the same comparable period in prior year by $7,478,762 or 159% because of significant increase in non-cash stock compensation expense and personnel costs.

Other income and expenses

There was a decrease in other income and expense of $3,812,174. This was primarily due to recording of inducement expense of $3,793,406 related to the issuance of Series B convertible preferred stock for cash and induced debt extinguishment in 2020. Interest expense increased $ (555,467) and 113% due to additional debt raised from a related party. The $579,486 gain on extinguishment is due to loan forgiveness on the first PPP loan (see Note 8).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $929,403. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

The Company has historically sought and continues to seek financing from private sources to implement its business plans. In order to satisfy its financial commitments, the Company has historically relied on private party financing, but that has inherent risks in terms of availability and adequacy of funding.

For the next twelve months, the Company anticipates that it will need to supplement its cash from revenues with additional cash raised from equity investment or debt transactions to ensure that the Company will have adequate cash to support its minimum operating cash requirements and thus to continue as a going concern.

There can be no guarantee or assurance that the Company can raise adequate capital from outside sources. If the Company is unable to raise funds when required or on acceptable terms, it may have to significantly reduce, or discontinue its operations.

Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, were $ (4,713,000) primarily due to the net loss of $ (12,171,458) offset by amortization of debt discount of $770,546, depreciation and amortization of $733,651, amortization of license contract assets of $610,397, amortization of right-of-use assets of $72,388, stock-based compensation expense of $6,902,547, bad debt expense of $146,637, and net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $1,278,671.

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, were $2,257,822 primarily due to the net loss of $7,892,975 offset by amortization of debt discount of $302,104, depreciation and amortization expense of $118,363, amortization of right-of-use assets of $66,165, stock-based compensation expense of $1,671,798, inducement expense of $3,793,406, and net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $316,683.

Table of Contents

Net Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $749,937 due to the cash portion of the acquisition for EON Media Group.

Net Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $5,554,179 primarily due to $3,155,000 of cash proceeds received from issuance of common stock, repayment of $ (251,380) of a stockholder’s loan, and cash proceeds of $2,200,000 received for issuance of convertible promissory notes and $486,638 from the second PPP loan.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $1,903,366 primarily due to $390,000 of cash proceeds received from issuance of common stock, cash payment of reverse merger costs of $80,134, cash proceeds of $20,000 received from issuance of common stock subscriptions, proceeds from the first PPP loan of $573,500, and cash proceeds of $1,000,000 received for preferred shares.

As a result of the above activities, the Company recorded a net increase in cash of $91,242 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company reported a cash balance of $929,403 at June 30, 2021.

Future Capital Requirements

Our current available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Our capital requirements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 will depend on numerous factors, including management’s evaluation of the timing of projects to pursue. Subject to our ability to generate revenues and cash flow from operations and our ability to raise additional capital (including through possible joint ventures and/or partnerships), we expect to incur substantial expenditures to carry out our business plan, as well as costs associated with our capital raising efforts and being a public company.

 

Our plans to finance our operations include seeking equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements, or other business transactions, that would generate sufficient resources to ensure continuation of our operations.

 

The sale of additional equity or debt securities may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we were unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned activities and limit our operations which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $ (12,171,458), had net cash used in operating activities of $ (4,713,000), had working capital of $500,341, and accumulated deficit of $ (53,715,602). These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for our capital requirements by continuing to issue additional equity and debt securities. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Not required.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

(i)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2021. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Based on this evaluation, and as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2021. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that were identified and continued to exist at June 30, 2021, management believes that the financial statements included in this report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Material Weaknesses and Management’s Remediation Plan

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were identified in the normal course and continued to exist as of June 30, 2021:

the Company’s management and the governance had insufficient oversight of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting;

the Company failed to maintain effective controls over the period-end financial reporting process, including controls with respect to preparation and disclosure of provision for income taxes, valuation and presentation of asset acquisition, content assets and liabilities, and investments; and

the Company failed to maintain effective controls over journal entries, both recurring and nonrecurring, and account reconciliations and did not maintain proper segregation of duties. Journal entries were not always accompanied by sufficient supporting documentation and were not adequately reviewed and approved for validity, completeness and accuracy. In most instances, persons responsible for reviewing journal entries and account reconciliations for validity, completeness and accuracy were also responsible for preparation.

We have concluded that these material weaknesses arose because, as previously a private company, we did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel, and related internal controls.

31

Table of Contents

We have conducted an evaluation of third parties to assist us with formalizing our internal control documentation and implementation of enhancements to our internal control over financial reporting and have recently engaged a qualified firm who has started work in July, 2021.

(ii)Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management intends to implement certain remediation steps to address the material weaknesses described above. However, management has not yet implemented those remediation steps and expects remediation efforts to continue through the remainder of fiscal year 2021.
