NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS

 

Loop Media Inc. (the “Company”; formerly Interlink Plus, Inc.) is a Nevada corporation. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 11, 2015. On February 5, 2020, the Company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Loop Media Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation, closed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Loop Media, Inc. (“Loop”), a Delaware corporation. 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 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.

 

In connection with the Merger, on February 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Zixiao Chen ("Buyer") for the purchase of assets relating to the Company’s two major business segments: travel agency assistance services and convention services (together, the "Business"). In consideration for the assets of the Business, Buyer transferred to the Company 2,000,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to assume and discharge any and all liabilities relating to the Business accruing up to the effective time of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The shares were retired and restored to the status of authorized and unissued shares.

 

Loop owns 100% of the capital stock of two companies that make up ScreenPlay. ScreenPlay is a combination of ScreenPlay, Inc. (“SPI”), a state of Washington corporation incorporated in 1991, and SPE, Inc. (“SPE”), a state of Washington corporation incorporated in 2008. ScreenPlay provides customized audiovisual environments that support integrated brand strategies for clients in the retail, hospitality, and business services markets, and for online content providers.

 

For accounting purposes, Loop was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Loop pursuant to which Loop was treated as the accounting acquirer, surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the Merger. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Loop and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScreenPlay, immediately following the consummation of this reverse merger transaction.

 

On June 8, 2020, a 1 for 1.5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock became effective. All share and per share information in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively adjusted for the effects of the reverse split for all periods presented. 

 

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $1,971,923 and an accumulated deficit of $35,660,199. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $3,606,632. 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.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world in the first half of 2020 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. The Company experienced a 17% decline in revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was directly related to business closures of key customers.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

 

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, 2019 included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on September 28, 2020.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Screenplay. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“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, right-to-use assets, lease liabilities, fair value of intangible assets, useful lives of assets and allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to its customers. Periodically, the Company reviews past due accounts and makes decisions about future credit on a customer by customer basis. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that its clients become unable to meet their payment obligations.

 

Induced Debt Conversion

 

On February 5, 2020, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock for $1,000,000 in cash and the exchange of a $1,000,000 loan to the Company plus accrued interest of $6,594. The Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-20 resulting in the recording of an inducement charge of $3,793,406 in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. (Note 8).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. 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.

 

8 

 

 

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

 

The fair value of the Company’s accounts receivable, short-term portion of notes receivable, notes payable for acquisition, and accounts payable approximate their carrying value, due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the deposits, long-term portion of notes receivable and the amount due to stockholders, and convertible notes approximate their fair values and are measured using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s cash is measured at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based on Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from delivery of streaming services, delivery of subscription content services in customized formats, and delivery of hardware and ongoing content delivery through software and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard, therefore there was no cumulative effect adjustment required.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenues are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of the Company’s products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

Performance Obligations and Significant Judgments

 

The Company’s revenue streams can be categorized into the following performance obligations and recognition patterns:

 

oDelivery of streaming services including content encoding and hosting. The Company recognizes revenue over the term of the service based on bandwidth usage.
oDelivery of subscription content services in customized formats. The Company recognizes revenue over the term of the service.
oDelivery of hardware for ongoing subscription content delivery through software: The Company recognizes revenue at the point of hardware delivery.

 

Transaction prices for performance obligations are explicitly outlined in relevant agreements; therefore, the Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The Company's revenues are disaggregated into the following revenue streams. The content and streaming services revenue including content encoding and hosting are recognized over the term of the service based on bandwidth usage. The content subscription services revenue in customized formats is recognized over the term of the service. The hardware for ongoing subscription content delivery is recognized at the point of the hardware delivery.

Hardware for ongoing subscription content   90,628    115,772 
   Total revenue  $2,088,913   $2,503,580 

 

Customer Acquisition Costs

 

The Company records commission expense associated with subscription revenue. The Company has elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue represents the cost of the delivered hardware and related bundled software and is recognized at the time of sale. For ongoing licensing and hosting fees, cost of sales is recognized over time based on usage patterns.

 

Deferred Income

 

The Company bills subscription services in advance of when the service period is performed. The deferred income recorded at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, represents the Company’s accounting for the timing difference between when the subscription fees are received and when the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

 Net Loss per Share

 

The Company accounts for net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC)” subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260-10"), 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.

 

10 

 

 

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted shares at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

   2020   2019 
Options to purchase common stock   8,312,306    5,812,307

Convertible debentures   6,908,637    5,841,558 
Total common stock equivalent   46,505,019    33,226,046 

 

Application of New Accounting Standards

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

 

The Company has not historically had any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or assets or liabilities measured at fair value under Level 3. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020 with no material effect on its financial statements

NOTE 8 – LOANS PAYABLE

 

On December 18, 2019, the Company entered to a loan agreement with a related party for $1,000,000. The loan provided an interest rate of 5% compounded annually and calculated on a 360-day basis. The principal and accrued unpaid interest was due on June 30, 2020. The loan was secured by a secondary interest in all assets of both Loop and ScreenPlay.

 

On February 5, 2020, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock for (i) $1,000,000 in cash (Note 13) and (ii) the exchange of $1,000,000 loan to the Company plus accrued interest of $6,594. The fair value of the common stock into which the Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible was $9,600,000 on the date of issuance. The Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-20.

 

The Company recognized an inducement expense equal to the excess of the allocated fair value of the Series B Convertible preferred stock and the carrying value of the loan payable as of the date the inducement offers were accepted. The excess of the fair value of the Series B Convertible preferred stock over the carrying value of the loan payable was $3,793,406 which amount was included as an inducement expense in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

NOTE 9 – NOTE PAYABLE

 

Payroll Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan Grant

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provided for, among other things, the Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”). The CARES Act temporarily added the PPP Loan program to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) 7(a) Loan Program and provides for the forgiveness of up to the full amount of qualifying loan plus accrued interest guaranteed under the program. Loop applied for and received on April 27, 2020, through a bank, $573,500 under this program. The loan provides for an annual interest rate of 1% and a term of two years from the date the proceeds were received. Payments of principal and interest are deferred for the period up to the determination of the forgiveness amount by the SBA.

 

13 

 

 

The program further provides that the payment of certain qualified expenses from the proceeds received can be eligible for loan forgiveness. The qualified payments must consist of at least 60% for payroll costs and the remaining amount up to a maximum of 40% can be used for certain non-payroll related costs such as mortgage interest, rent and utilities. The bank that issued the loan will determine how much of the loan will be forgiven based upon the information provided by the Company along with evidence of such costs. The $573,500 has been accounted for as a liability on Loop’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. Any amount that is forgiven will be accounted for as other income at the time the forgiveness is determined. Any amount that is not forgiven will remain on the balance sheet as a long-term liability and accrued interest. The remaining balance will be repaid with interest over the remaining term of the loan.

 

The CARES Act also provided that businesses affected by the Coronavirus pandemic would be eligible to apply for a loan under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) Program of the SBA. However, a business can only apply for a loan under PPP or EIDL, but not both. Loop applied for an EIDL loan as well but accepted the PPP Loan and therefore was no longer eligible to borrow under the EIDL Program. However, as part of the EIDL loan application process, Loop was able to request a $10,000 grant from the EIDL Program. The grant does not have to be repaid as a result of not getting the EIDL. However, the $10,000 grant will be reduced against the amount of the PPP loan qualifying to be forgiven. The $10,000 EIDL grant has been recognized as other income in the accompanying financial statements.

Original terms

 

On December 12, 2018, the Company issued $3,000,000 in convertible debentures, which have a maturity date of December 1, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). The debentures accrue interest monthly at a rate of 10% per annum, simple interest. Accrued unpaid interest became payable monthly beginning February 1, 2019 through May 1, 2020. Any accrued unpaid interest outstanding at May 1, 2020 could be converted into shares or added to the face amount of the loan. Beginning June 1, 2020 through January 1, 2021 the Company will make monthly installment of interest only payments. Beginning January 1, 2021, the Company will make monthly installment of principal and interest through December 1, 2023. At the option of the debenture holders, the debentures are convertible at any time prior to the Maturity Date in whole or in parts into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.60 per common share.

 

The convertible debentures also provide that should the Company receive not less than $6,000,000 from the sale of its securities, it must either, at the discretion of the holders, make a $750,000 principal payment plus the balance of any accrued unpaid interest or convert that amount into the Company’s common stock. If the Company receives not less than $12,000,000 from the sale of its securities, the entire outstanding principal balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest must be either paid or converted in common stock.

 

In connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company issued 27,032,208 common share purchase warrants, with each warrant exercisable at $0.001 for a period of 10 years. The Company evaluated the warrants in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the warrants did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not account for them as a separate derivative liability. 

 

The allocation of the $3,000,000 in gross proceeds from issuance of convertible debentures based on the relative fair values resulted in an allocation of $2,387,687 to the warrants and $612,313 to the convertible debentures. The relative fair value of the warrants above was determined on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following parameters: (1) risk free interest rate of 2.00%; (2) expected life in years of 10.0; (3) expected stock volatility of 45.0%; and (4) expected dividend yield of 0%. In addition, because the effective conversion rate based on the $612,313 allocated to the convertible debentures was $0.08 per share which was less than the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issuance date.

 

The beneficial conversion feature totaled $612,313 and was recorded as a debt discount. The Company also recorded the allocated fair value of the warrants $2,387,687 as additional debt discount. The total initial unamortized debt discount was $3,000,000 and is amortized to interest expense using effective interest method over the life of the convertible debentures.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the amortized debt discount recorded as interest expenses was $450,164 and $448,521, respectively.

 

Settlement – October 31, 2019

 

The Company was not able to make the payments required under the terms of the convertible debentures and the holders filed suit on July 11, 2019. The convertible debenture holders and the Company entered into a settlement agreement on October 31, 2019, and the lawsuit was dismissed as of October 31, 2019.

 

Pursuant to the settlement agreement the payment terms for the convertible debentures were amended to provide for interest to be accrued from November 1, 2019 through April 2020 and at the sole discretion of the note holder to be paid either by common stock of the Company or added to the balance of the loan. The note holders elected to add the accrued interest to the balance of the loan. It further provided that beginning June 1, 2020, monthly payments of unpaid accrued interest will be made through December 2020 and beginning January 1, 2021, the Company will pay equal monthly installments of principal and interest through December 1, 2023 and any unpaid principal and interest outstanding will be immediately due and payable on December 1, 2023.

 

Also as part of the settlement agreement, the Company (i) issued 67,690 shares of Class B common stock to the convertible debenture holders for $30,000 cash; and (ii) issued 56,408 Class B common shares valued at $25,000 to the convertible debenture holders for the forgiveness of $5,221 in liabilities owed by the Company, which resulted in a loss on settlement of obligations of $19,779 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

In addition, the settlement agreement further provided that the Company would be released from any liability for accrued unpaid interest and other convertible debentures costs from the date of the convertible debentures to the date of the settlement agreement. The Company was relieved of $192,557 of accrued interest as of October 31, 2019 and recorded a gain on settlement of obligations during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Additionally, the settlement agreement provided that the Company would merge the Class A common stock and Class B common stock into one class of common stock. On December 5, 2019, the Company merged Class A and Class B common stock.

 

On October 31, 2019, as part of the above mentioned settlement agreement, the Company issued 27,032,208 Class B common shares upon the exercise of warrants, with an exercise price of $0.001 per share, for a total value of $27,032. The exercise price was applied against the balance of accrued interest on the convertible debentures.

 

Second Amendment of terms

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company did not make all of the payments due under the convertible loan agreement with the related party and entered into a second amendment of this convertible loan on October 23, 2020. The second amendment provides for payment to be made for the unpaid interest accrued at 18% per annum (default rate) through October 23, 2020 amounting to $179,803 by making a cash payment of $97,979 and increasing the principal amount of the convertible note by $81,824.

 

The second amendment further provides that beginning November 1, 2020, monthly payments of unpaid interest accrued at 12.5% per annum will be paid in arrears through March 31, 2021, beginning April 1, 2021, the Company will pay equal monthly installments of principal and interest computed at 10% per annum through December 1, 2023. The Company will account for this amendment to the note under ASC 470-50-40-10 as a debt extinguishment due to the present value of the cash flows under the new amendment terms is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows of the current terms.

Convertible debentures - $287,000, December 1, 2018

 

Original terms

 

On December 1, 2018, the Company entered into a redemption agreement with one of the former officers to repurchase 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. The terms of this agreement required that the Company issue a convertible debenture to this shareholder in the amount of $287,000 and pay the amount of accrued expenses owed to him of $134,000 in four quarterly payments beginning October 1, 2019. The first two quarterly payments totaled $67,000 were paid in January 2020 but the remaining $67,000 has not been paid. The convertible debenture originally provided for interest at 10% per annum, interest to accrue through September 1, 2019, beginning October 1, 2019 monthly payments of unpaid accrued interest will be made through May 1, 2020, beginning June 1, 2020, the Company will pay equal monthly installments of principal and interest through December 1, 2023.

 

At the option of the debenture holder, the debenture shall be convertible at any time prior to December 1, 2023 in whole or in parts into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.60 per common share. As the effective conversion rate based on the principal $287,000 was $0.60 per share which was less than the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issuance date. The beneficial conversion feature totaled $30,996 and was recorded as a debt discount.

 

The discount is amortized to interest expense using effective interest method over the life of the convertible debentures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the amortized debt discount recorded as interest expenses was $4,651 and $4,634, respectively.

First Amendment of terms

 

The Company did not make all of the payments due under the convertible loan agreement entered into with a founder and former officer of the Company and entered into a second agreement to modify the payment terms on October 22, 2020. At the date of this amendment, the Company owed unpaid accrued interest through May 31, 2020 amounting to $43,011 and unpaid principal and interest payments from June 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020 in the amount of $40,814 for a total of $83,825. In an effort to remove the default, the Company amended the terms of the convertible note on October 22, 2020 to provide for the unpaid interest accrued through May 31, 2020 plus the unpaid principal and interest payments from June 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020 amounting to $83,825 to be paid on the date of this agreement.

 

In addition, the amendment required that the Company pay on October 22, 2020, $28,587 of the outstanding balance of accrued expenses due to the founder and former officer in the amount of $67,000 for a total payment of $112,412. The amendment further provides that the remaining balance of the $67,000 owed or $38,412 would be paid on March 31, 2021. Additionally, the amendment provides that the November 1, 2020 payment will be deferred to December 1, 2020 while the terms of the conversion are discussed further. If the convertible note is not converted into the Company’s common stock by November 30, 2020, then the terms of the original note will resume on December 1, 2020. If the convertible note of the founder and former officer is converted by November 30, 2020, the balance of $257,676 will convert into 429,460 shares of the Company’s stock based upon an conversion price of $0.60.

Convertible debentures - $326,143, July 12, 2019

 

Original terms

 

On July 12, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a lender for a loan amount up to $200,000. The loan provided an interest rate of 10% accrued monthly with principal and accrued unpaid interest due on January 8, 2021. The loan required the Company to pay a loan fee of 2% ($4,000) upon execution. The loan provides for a prepayment penalty of 4% of the amount prepaid plus all interest accrued to the date of the prepayment. The loan was secured by a primary interest in all assets of both Loop and ScreenPlay.

 

Amendment 1

 

By August 20, 2019, the amount borrowed under the $200,000 loan agreement amounted to $252,473 and the loan agreement was amended to provide for an increase in the maximum loan amount to $400,000.

 

In addition, the loan was restructured as a convertible debenture. At the option of the debenture holder, the debenture is convertible at any time prior to the maturity date in whole or in parts into Class A common shares of the Company. The conversion price was deemed to be the lesser of $0.40 per common share or the offering price paid by unaffiliated investors for one share of the current merger target’s common stock, no par value under a planned private offering of such securities by the current merger target in connection with the proposed merger transaction with the Company. The proposed merger with merger target failed to close so the conversion price was deemed to be $0.40 per common share.

 

The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not account for it as a separate derivative liability. The embedded conversion feature was fair valued at $146,678 using the Black Scholes Method and recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt and offset to additional paid-in capital. The Company also charged the additional loan fees of $6,473 to loss on extinguishment of debt.

 

The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature as the effective conversion rate based on the principal $252,473 was $0.40 per share which was less than the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance and determined that a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issuance date. The beneficial conversion feature totaled $29,967 and was recorded as a debt discount and offset to additional paid-in capital.

 

18 

 

 

The amendment also provided that at the lender’s request, the Company will issue one share of its Class A common stock for every dollar loaned. The total amount borrowed under this loan as of December 31, 2019 is $326,143, the Company recorded the obligation to issue 326,143 Class A common shares with a value of $135,144 as Class A common stock subscribed but not yet issued and debt discount.

 

Amendment 2 – November 26, 2019

 

The Company changed its merger target to Interlink Plus, Inc. (Interlink). On November 26, 2019, the $400,000 convertible loan agreement was amended again to change the conversion price to the lesser of $0.25 per common share or the offering price paid by unaffiliated investors for one share of Interlink common stock.

 

As of November 26, 2019, the amortized debt discount recorded as interest expense was $23,448, and upon execution of Amendment 2, the Company wrote off the remaining unamortized debt discount of $141,663 as loss on extinguishment of debt.

 

Upon execution of Amendment 2, a new embedded conversion feature was re-calculated as $110,281 which was charged to additional-paid-in-capital. The difference between the embedded conversion feature calculated in Amendment 1 of $146,678 and the recalculated amount of $110,281 or $36,397 was offset against loss on extinguishment of debt.

 

 

The following table presents the components of the convertible debenture as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2020   2019 
Short term portion  $326,143   $ 
Long term portion       326,143 
   Balance, net  $326,143   $326,143

The Company entered into a Framework Digital Distribution Agreement with Sony Music Entertainment (SME) to digitally distribute audio-visual musical recordings that they own or control in agreed forms via certain approved distribution channels (See Note 15).  The agreement also requires that the Company pay SME a non-refundable advance recoupable solely during the term of this agreement against all service fees payable to SME in connection with access to the SME content for the service territory. The non-refundable amounts require payments of $227,000 in October 2020, April 2021 and October 2021. The $227,000 payment required in October 2020 was paid and recorded as a deposit.

As part of the reverse merger with Interlink Plus, Inc. on February 5, 2020, the Company assumed a $180,000 debt to Interlink’s controlling shareholder to whom the Company was also indebted in the amount of $1,000,000. The Company issued 200,000 shares of its Series B convertible preferred stock in exchange for (i) $1,000,000 in cash and (ii) the exchange of the $1,000,000 loan plus accrued interest of $6,594 The fair value of the common stock into which the Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible was $9,600,000 on the date of issuance. The Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-20.

 

The allocated fair value of the Series B convertible preferred stock exceeded the $1,000,000 cash proceeds by $3,800,000 which was recorded by the Company as a deemed dividend.

 

The Company recognized an inducement expense equal to the excess of the allocated fair value of the Series B Convertible preferred stock and the carrying value of the loan payable as of the date the inducement offers were accepted. The excess of the fair value of the Series B Convertible preferred stock over the carrying value of the loan payable was $3,793,406 which amount was included as an inducement expense in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

 

The $180,000 debt plus accrued interest of $5,563 was retired as a part of the issuance to him of 2,666,667 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The warrants were recorded at their fair value (see Note 14). Because the transaction was a related party any gain or loss is recorded and reported as a change to additional paid in capital (the effects of the transaction do not affect the Consolidated Statements of Operations).

 

The Company incurred interest expense for these notes in the amounts of $6,721 and $0 for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company did not incur any interest expense for these notes for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

NOTE 13 –STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 16,666,667 shares of its $0.0001 par value preferred stock.  As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had 30,667 and 0 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

NOTE 14 – 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.

 

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

 

 

        Weighted-   Weighted-Average     
        Average   Remaining   Aggregate 
    Options   Exercise Price   Contractual Term   Intrinsic Value

   Exercisable at September 30, 2020    6,438,307   $0.72    7.86   $8,259,419 

 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding tables represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than the Company's stock price of $2.00 as of September 30, 2020, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date.

 

The following table presents information related to stock options at September 30, 2020:

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock options granted using the fair value based method of accounting.

NOTE 15 –DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

 

On April 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Framework Digital Distribution Agreement with Sony Music Entertainment (“SME”) (See Note 11) to digitally distribute audio-visual musical recordings that it owns or controls in agreed forms to consumers via certain approved distribution channels. This agreement requires Loop to pay royalties and make minimum guaranteed payments, or advances, and includes marketing commitments, advertising inventory, and financial and data reporting obligations. Rights to sound recordings granted pursuant to this agreement are expected to account for a significant part of its streams in the foreseeable future. This license agreement has a duration of two years, is not automatically renewable, and applies to the United States, Canada, and certain Latin American countries. The license agreement also allows for the record label to terminate the agreement in certain circumstances, including, Loop’s failure to timely pay sums due within a certain period, a breach of material terms, and in some situations which could constitute a “change of control” of Loop. This agreement provides that SME has the right to audit Loop for compliance with the terms of the agreement. Further, it contains a “most favored nation” provision, which requires that certain material contract terms be at least as favorable as the terms agreed to or will agree with any other record label. Future minimum guarantee payments are material and represent a significant portion of the Company’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments.

Overview

 

Loop Media, Inc. (f/k/a Interlink Plus, Inc.) (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 11, 2015. On February 5, 2020, the Company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Loop Media Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation, closed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Loop Media, Inc. (“Loop”), a Delaware corporation. 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 (this number of shares is the pre-stock split number; the post stock split number would be 101,882,647 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.

 

In connection with the Merger, on February 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Zixiao Chen ("Buyer") for the purchase of assets relating to the Company’s two major business segments: travel agency assistance services and convention services (together, the "Business"). In consideration for the assets of the Business, Buyer transferred to the Company 2,000,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to assume and discharge any and all liabilities relating to the Business accruing up to the effective time of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Shares will be retired and restored to the status of authorized and unissued shares.

 

Loop owns 100% of the capital stock of ScreenPlay. ScreenPlay is a combination of ScreenPlay, Inc. (“SPI”), a Washington corporation incorporated in 1991, and SPE, Inc. (“SPE”), a Washington corporation incorporated in 2008. ScreenPlay provides customized audiovisual environments that support integrated brand strategies for clients in the retail, hospitality, and business services markets, and for online content providers.

 

For accounting purposes, Loop was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Loop pursuant to which Loop was treated as the accounting acquirer, surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the Merger. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Loop and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScreenPlay, immediately following the consummation of this reverse merger transaction.

 

On June 8, 2020, a 1 for 1.5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock became effective. All share and per share information in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively adjusted for the effects of the reverse split for all periods presented.

Recent Developments

 

COVID 19 disease

 

The spread of COVID-19 around the world is affecting 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. Additionally, while the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is 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 is highly uncertain and subject to change.

 

The Company has been significantly impacted by Covid-19 through the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and continued through October 31,2020, which was directly related to business closures of key customers. We have implemented certain mitigation measures such as salary reductions from March 2020 through October 15, 2020 and other cost cutting activities.

 

As COVID-19 continues to evolve, the extent to which the coronavirus impacts operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. The Company continues to monitor the pandemic and particular, 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 this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

First Amendment of terms of the convertible denture from a founder and former officer

 

The Company amended the terms of the convertible note on October 22, 2020 to provide for the unpaid interest accrued through May 31, 2020 plus the unpaid principal and interest payments from June 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020 amounting to $83,825 to be paid on the date of this agreement. In addition, the amendment required that the Company pay on October 22, 2020, $28,587 of the outstanding balance of accrued expenses due to the founder and former officer in the amount of $67,000 for a total payment of $112,412. The $112,412 was paid on October 22, 2020. The amendment further provides that the remaining balance of the $67,000 owed or $38,412 would be paid on March 31, 2021.

 

Additionally, the amendment provides that the November 1, 2020 payment will be deferred to December 1, 2020 while the terms of the conversion are discussed further. If the convertible note is not converted into the Company’s common stock by November 30, 2020, then the terms of the original note will resume on December 1, 2020. If the convertible note of the founder and former officer is converted by November 30, 2020, the balance of $257,676 will convert into 429,460 shares of the Company’s stock based upon an exercise price of $0.60.

 

Second Amendment of terms of Convertible debentures with related parties

 

The Company entered into a second amendment of the convertible note on October 23, 2020. The second amendment provides for payment to be made for the unpaid interest accrued at 18% per annum (default rate) through October 23, 2020 amounting to $179,803 by making a cash payment of $97,979 and increasing the principal amount of the convertible note by $81,824. The second amendment further provides that beginning November 1, 2020, monthly payments of unpaid interest accrued at 12.5% per annum will be paid in arrears through March 31, 2021; beginning April 1, 2021, the Company will pay equal monthly installments of principal and interest computed at 10% per annum through December 1, 2023.

 

Share Purchase Agreement

Acquisition

 

On October 13, 2020, the Company acquired from SPKR INC., a Delaware corporation ("Seller"), the Seller’s website and internet domain name, “Spkr.com” (the "Website") and a mobile application Seller developed (the "App"), available in the Apple Inc. IOS Store as “Spkr: Curated Podcast Radio”, and related assets (the Website, the App and all other assets associated with Seller's audio network business that were acquired, the "Acquired Assets") pursuant to an Asset Acquisition Agreement dated the same date (the "Purchase Agreement") entered into by and between the Company, Seller and PTK Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (dba PTK Capital), in its capacity as the Seller representative under the Purchase Agreement (the "Acquisition").

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated 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. Significant estimates include assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, the fair value of other equity and debt instruments, right-of-use assets (“ROU”), lease liabilities, and allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from delivery of streaming services, delivery of subscription content services in customized formats, and delivery of hardware and ongoing content delivery through software and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. Therefore, there was no cumulative effect adjustment required.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenues are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of the Company’s products and services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

       executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;

       identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

       determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

       allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

       recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

Performance Obligations and Significant Judgments

 

The Company’s revenue streams can be categorized into the following performance obligations and recognition patterns:

 

oDelivery of streaming services including content encoding and hosting. The Company recognizes revenue over the term of the service based on bandwidth usage.
oDelivery of subscription content services in customized formats. The Company recognizes revenue over the term of the service.

 

27 

 

 

oDelivery of hardware for ongoing subscription content delivery through software. The Company recognizes revenue at the point of hardware delivery.

 

Transaction prices for performance obligations are explicitly outlined in relevant contractual agreements; therefore, the Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue represents the cost of delivered hardware and bundled software and is recognized at the time of sale. For ongoing licensing and hosting fees, cost of sales is recognized over time based on usage patterns.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation awarded to employees is measured at the award date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite vesting period. The Company measures the fair value of the share-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the trading market (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were considered to be more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease obligations are recorded as liabilities and represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments.

 

The ROU asset arrangement also consists of any prepaid lease payments and deferred rent liabilities. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense. The Company has lease agreements which require payments for both lease and non-lease components and has elected to account for these as a single lease component.

Revenues

 

The Company’s revenue declined for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 2019 by $207,896 or 25%. The primary cause for this large of a revenue decline is the continuing effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The revenue from content and streaming services declined by $126,537 or 30% from 2019 amounts primarily due to the continuing effects of the coronavirus. Revenue from subscription services fell $79,241 or 21% from 2019 levels.

 

Although content and streaming services have not been affected as much by the pandemic in the previous quarters, it has been affected in the third quarter. The Company’s customers across the board have started reducing the services they have been previously purchasing. In addition, during the third quarter, a number of customers began requesting credits against invoices they received from the Company for services purchased in the second quarter because of the impact of the pandemic.

 

The decline in content subscription services revenue is because the business of the customers for these services which are bars, restaurants and to a lesser extent casinos and cruise ships also declined. In the third quarter, many of these customers were able to resume some operations, although only to a limited degree.

 

Hardware sales have decreased slightly from $35,616 recognized in 2019 to $33,498 in 2020 or 6%. This is to be expected, and will be expected in the future. The Company is transitioning from providing the streaming service on on-site PC equipment to an internet-based service.

 

Cost of revenue

 

The cost of revenue also increased by 8% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This is because of the recent increase in demand for streaming services the costs for production, content licensing and equipment costs increased by $19,765.

 

29 

 

 

Total Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expense increased in the third quarter of 2020 over the same period for 2019 by $805,087 or 84% because of several items.

 

One is that payroll related costs increased by $286,629 in the third quarter compared to 2019 due to increases in personnel needed to launch its platform targeted to consumers and the expansion of management personnel in 2020 and a large reduction in salaries in the third quarter of 2019.

 

A second is the Company significantly increased advertising and marketing expenses by $82,856 over the amounts spent in 2019 as it prepares to launch its consumer-based service platform.

 

Another is a $144,235 increase in (non-cash) share-based compensation due to the option cost recognition over the vesting period in the third quarter from the award of additional options in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Another is a $223,732 increase in accounting fees incurred for the audit of 2019 and 2018 as well as the first and second quarterly reports to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A lower audit related expense was incurred in the third quarter of 2019.

 

Legal and other consulting expenses increased by $26,452 over amounts spent for the same period of 2019.

 

Due to the significant increase in operations in an effort to expand the Company’s operational capacity the Company has also incurred increased costs for insurance of $29,346 and office supplies and services amounting to $17,357. However, travel expense did decrease by $6,114 which is directly related to less traveling due to the pandemic.

 

Other income and expenses

 

There was a reduction of other expense of $126,179 in the third quarter of 2020 from the same period in 2019.

 

This was primarily because the Company incurred a loss from the settlement of obligations of $153,151 in 2019 that did not reoccur in 2020.

 

In addition, the Company incurred $26,378 more in interest expense for the third quarter of 2020 than in 2019 because of increased borrowing and higher loan balances during and at the end of the quarter.

 

Net Loss

 

The Company’s net loss in the third quarter of 2020 increased an additional $906,569 over the net loss for the same period in 2019. This was primarily due to the accounting fees incurred in the amount of $223,732 to perform an audit of 2019 and 2018 financial statements as well as the reviews of the first and second quarterly reports of 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Also contributing to the net loss is an increase in operating expenses related to supporting the launch of its platform targeted to consumers amounting to $436,526. Additionally, stock-based compensation of $144,235 and the $227,661 loss in gross profit in 2020 due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

Revenues

 

The Company’s revenue declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 2019 by $414,667 or 17%. The primary cause for this large decline in revenue is the coronavirus pandemic. Most of the states in the U.S. issued shelter in place orders to their residents and required any non-essential businesses to close in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Revenue from content and streaming services declined 17% from 2019 amounts. Although this revenue stream has not been affected as much by the pandemic in the previous quarters, it has been affected in the third quarter. The Company’s customers across the board have started reducing the services they have been previously purchasing. In addition, in the third quarter a number of customers began requesting credits against invoices they received from the Company for services purchased in the second quarter because of the impact of the pandemic.

 

Content subscription services fell $171,830 or 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The customers for these services are bars, restaurants and to a lesser extent casinos and cruise ships. As a result of business closures and much reduced customer operations, revenue in these areas fell.

 

Hardware sales have decreased from $115,772 recognized in 2019 to $90,628 in 2020 or by 22%. This is to be expected as the Company transitions from providing the streaming service on on-site PC equipment to an internet-based service.

 

Cost of revenue

 

The cost of revenue also decreased by 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 in conjunction with the reduction in sales due to the pandemic. Because of the substantial reduction in demand for subscription services the cost of hosting content dropped by $67,357. The cost of production and content licensing increased by $33,796 from 2019 to 2020 as more emphasis has been placed on service delivery efforts and production capabilities.

Total Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 over the same period for 2019 by $1,356,938 or 27% because of several items.

 

The Company also increased advertising and marketing expenses by $94,039 over the amounts incurred in 2019.

 

The Company incurred $519,278 more (non-cash) share-based compensation in 2020 than 2019

 

The Company has also incurred increased costs for insurance $73,174 and had a reduction in office supplies and services amounting to $33,853

 

One is a $707,079 increase in accounting fees incurred for the audit of 2019 and 2018 as well as the first and second quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; a lower audit related expense was incurred through September 30, 2019.

 

Other income and expenses

 

There was an increase in other income and expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the same period in 2019 of $3,649,741. This was primarily because an inducement expense of $3,793,406 related to the issuance of 200,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock for cash and induced debt extinguishment in 2020. 

 

Net Loss

 

The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased an additional $5,385,835 over the net loss for the same period in 2019. This was largely due to an inducement expense of $3,793,406 related to the issuance of 200,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock for cash and induced debt extinguishment in 2020 and to the accounting fees incurred in the amount of $707,079 to perform an audit of 2019 and 2018 financial statements as well as preparing and filing the first and second quarterly reports of 2020 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Also, the Company incurred fewer legal fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 than in 2019.

 

Additionally, (non-cash) stock-based compensation in 2020 was increased by $519,278 over the amount in 2019, and the increase of $379,156 for loss in gross profit in 2020 due to the effects of the pandemic.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of approximately $1,971,923. The following table provides a summary of the Company's net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

   Cash, end of period  $1,971,923   $299,026 

 

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.

 

32 

 

 

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

 

There was approximately $2,089,000 more cash used in operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 than in the same period in 2019. This was necessary to pay for additional accounting and legal fees associated with the merger into a public company and the two-year audit of the Company. Also, additional funds were spent on payroll and consulting costs to provide the necessary support to sustain the expected future revenue growth and higher level of operations.

 

 Net Cash Flow from Investing Activities

 

 Investing activities consisted of the receiving cash payments on a note receivable in both 2020 and 2019.

 

In 2020 the Company spent $10,599 for the purchase of equipment as compared to $20,684 in 2019.

 

Net Cash Flow from Financing Activities

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company raised $4,080,000 in new capital to continue strengthening its operations and building its organization, less $80,134 to pay for additional legal fees and other costs associated with the merger into a public company.

 

The Company also received loan proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan program in the amount of $573,500 (see Note 9).

 

The Company raised $89,990 in new capital in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, also received proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt in the amount of $277,473.

 

In 2019, the company repaid stockholders loans in the amount of $348,286 and also paid down on the payable on the acquisition in the amount of $2,025,000.

 

Going Concern

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $1,971,923 and accumulated deficit of $35,660,199. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $3,606,632. The Company has incurred net losses since its inception.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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 depends on its ability to generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a debt and equity financing transactions.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment 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 September 30, 2020. 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 September 30, 2020. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that were identified as of December 31, 2019 and continued to exist at September 30, 2020, 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 U.S. GAAP. The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were identified in the normal course as of December 31, 2019 and continued to exist as of September 30, 2020:

 

The Company failed to maintain an effective control environment and 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 of provision for income taxes, journal entries, and account reconciliations. Journal entries, both recurring and nonrecurring, were not always accompanied by sufficient supporting documentation and were not adequately reviewed and approved for validity, completeness and accuracy;

 

The Company did not maintain proper segregation of duties. In certain instances, persons responsible to review transactions for validity, completeness and accuracy were also responsible for preparation; and

 

The Company’s financial reporting team did not possess the requisite skill sets, knowledge, education or experience to prepare the financial statements and notes to the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, or to review the financial statements and notes to the financial statements prepared by the external consultants and professionals to ensure accuracy and completeness.

 

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. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we began to undertake measures to address material weaknesses in our internal controls. In particular, during March 2020, we engaged an outside advisory and consulting firm with expertise in preparation of financial statements. We will continue to take steps to remediate these material weaknesses, including:

 

We intend to implement a procedure that ensures timely review of the financial statements, notes to our financial statements, and our Annual and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q by our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and our board of directors, prior to filing with the SEC;

 

34 

 

 

We intend to design and implement a formalized financial reporting process that includes balance sheet reconciliations, properly prepared, supported and reviewed journal entries, properly segregated duties, and properly completed and approved close checklist and calendar;

 

We intend to hire additional experienced individuals to prepare and approve the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures in accordance with US GAAP;

 

We have relied and will continue to rely upon outside professionals to assist with our external reporting requirements to ensure timely filing of our required reports with the SEC; and

 

We intend to initiate efforts to ensure our employees understand the continued importance of internal controls and compliance with corporate policies and procedures.

 

(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 2020.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

 

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting our Company, or our common stock, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

 

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

 

We are not required to provide the information required by this Item due to the fact we are a "smaller reporting company.” However, as a result of the merger in February 2020, our business is different and we believe our new business, and ownership of our common stock, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

    your ability to sell your common shares at or above the price you bought them for due to the failure of an active, liquid, and orderly market for our common shares to develop or be sustained;

 

    our ability to attract prospective business and users and to retain existing business and users;

 

    our dependence upon third-party licenses for video recordings and musical compositions;

 

    our ability to comply with the many complex license agreements to which we are a party;

 

    our ability to generate enough revenue to be profitable or to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis;

 

    our lack of control over the providers of our content and their effect on our access to music videos and other content;

 

    our ability to accurately estimate the amounts payable under our license agreements;

 

    the limitations on our operating flexibility due to the minimum guarantees required under certain of our license agreements;

 

    our ability to obtain accurate and comprehensive information about music compositions in order to obtain necessary licenses or perform obligations under our existing license agreements;

 

    potential breaches of our security systems; and

 

    assertions by third parties of infringement or other violations by us of their intellectual property rights.

 

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

On September 30,2020, we sold and issued an aggregate of 2,136,000 shares of our common stock to a total of nine accredited investors at a price of $1.25 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $2,670,000. The offers, sales and issuances of such common stock were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

 

The recipients of securities in each of these transactions acquired the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and represented to us that they could bear the risks of the investment and could hold the securities for an indefinite period of time, and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions represented to us in connection with their purchase that they were an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
