Liquidity

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of our liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred and continues to incur losses from operations as well as negative cash flows from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $242,448,937, negative cash flows from operations of $72,471,541 and an accumulated deficit of $963,776,852. On June 30, 2022, the Company postponed its special stockholder meeting from July 1, 2022 to July 26, 2022 which was subsequently postponed again to August 23, 2022 and then postponed indefinitely. This meeting was to be held to approve various proposals including amending the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000to 750,000,000. The postponement of the meeting triggered an alternative exercise notice clause in the Company’s November and December 2021 warrants, as amended, which allows the holder to put the warrants back to the Company in exchange for cash payments of $0.65 and $0.36 per warrant for the November and December 2021 warrants, respectively (Note 12 – Warrant Liability). The Holder exercised this provision in July 2022 resulting in a cash payment of $33,886,612and cancelation of 82,260,699warrants. Additionally, per the terms of the amended July 2021 convertible note the Company made a cash payment of $33,000,000 against principal and cash interest payment of $115,500 on July 19, 2022. On August 18, 2022, the Company paid an additional $65,000,000 to the note holder, of which $55,000,000 was applied to the principal. These payments along with our cash flows from operations losthave reduced our cash balance from $179,216,863at June 30, 2022 to approximately $15,720,12910,000,000 in Restricted Cash and $5,500,000 in unrestricted cash , of which approximately $11,085,000 was non-cash and approximately $1,428,000 was related to transaction costs and other non-recurring items.

At June 30, 2021,2022 we had total current assets ofhave approximately $80,620,75714.7 million in accounts payable and current liabilitiesaccrued expenses, and during the first six months of 2022, we utilized approximately $8,829,464resulting in working capital of approximately $71,791,2931 , of which $3,333,333 was convertible notes payable.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

The Company has cash on deposit in several financial institutions which, at times, may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions.

The Company had approximately $74,756,573 of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 of which none was held in foreign bank accounts not covered by FDIC insurance limits as of June 30, 2021.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less an estimate for uncollectible amounts. Management estimates the allowance for bad debts based on existing economic conditions, historical experience, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.

No customers represented more than 10% of total accounts receivable.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments, or other economic factors.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consisted of equity securities. The Company classified its investments as trading securities. Accordingly, such investments were reported at fair market value, with the resultant unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value for trading securities was determined by reference to quoted market prices.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: 3 to 5 years for office equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, 6 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 10 to 15 years for building improvements, 5 years for software, 5 years for molds, 5 to 7 years for vehicles and 40 years for buildings.

Equity Method Investments

We apply the equity method of accounting to investments when we have significant influence, but not controlling interest in the investee. 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 will be reported under a line-item captioned equity method investment income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying value of our equity method investments is reported in equity method investments in the 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 classifies distributions received from equity-method investments using the cumulative earnings approach on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. The Company did not record any impairments related to its investments in 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there was no income or loss.

Revenue Recognition

Generally, the Company considers all revenues as arising from contracts with customers.customers. Revenue is recognized based on the five-step process outlined in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606:606 as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional clarification on the Company’s Digital Media Advertising and Licensing revenue recognition policy is provided below.

 

Step 1 – IdentifyDigital Media Advertising and Licensing

The Company’s digital media advertising revenues are generated primarily from the Contract withposting of original digital content through third-party online platforms which are then delivered to users of the Customer – A contract exists when (a)online platform across the partiescustomer’s digital advertising platform and becomes monetizable to the contract have approvedCompany, which the contractCompany concludes is its performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the services are transferred to customers and the transaction price is determined by the third-party online platform. Revenue from the digital media platform is primarily recognized based on impressions delivered to customers. An “impression” is delivered when an advertisement appears on pages viewed by users. For impressions-based digital advertising, revenues are committedrecognized as impressions are delivered over the term of the arrangement, while revenue from non-impressions-based digital advertising is recognized over the period that the advertisements are displayed. Such amounts are recognized net of agency commissions and provisions for estimated sales incentives, including rebates, rate adjustments or discounts.

Licensing revenues are derived from the sale of a licensee’s products that incorporates the Company’s intellectual property. Royalty revenues are recognized during the quarter in which the Company receives a report from the licensee detailing the shipment of products that incorporate the Company’s intellectual property, which receipt is in the quarter following the licensee’s sale of such products to perform their respective obligations, (b)its customers. Royalties are calculated as a percentage of the entity can identify each party’s rights regardingrevenues received by the Company’s licensees on sales of products incorporating the Company’s intellectual property.

Identification of a Customer and Gross Versus Net Revenue Recognition

In the normal course of business, the Company acts as or uses an intermediary or agent in executing transactions with third parties. When the intermediary or agent is determined to be the Company’s customer, the Company records revenue based on the amount it expects to receive from the agent or intermediary.

In other circumstances, the determination of whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on an assessment of whether the Company is acting as the principal or an agent in the transaction. If the Company is acting as a principal in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a gross basis. If the Company is acting as an agent in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a net basis. The determination of whether the Company is acting as a principal or an agent in a transaction involves judgment and is based on an evaluation of the terms of the arrangement. The Company serves as the principal in transactions in which it controls the goods or services prior to be transferred, (c) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred, (d) the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will bebeing transferred to the ultimate customer.

For AdRizer, FASB ASC 606 requires an entity to determine whether it is a principal (recognizes revenue at the gross amount) or an agent (recognizes revenue at the net amount) for each promised good or service. Based on the FASB guidance, the Company has determined that AdRizer is the principal for each promised good or service, thus, revenue is recognized at the gross amount of the transactions. Revenue from traffic sales and traffic management services are generally recognized at the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Film and Television Productions

The Company accounts for the film and television productions in accordance with Topic 926, Entertainment – Films. Production costs qualifying for capitalization, are recorded as film and television productions on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized using forecast methods that match amortization to estimated revenue. Currently all productions are actively under development and, as such, amortization has not commenced.

Investments

Investments in equity securities (excluding equity method investments) with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value. For investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values, the Company elects the measurement alternative permitted under GAAP to measure these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are equity method investments. Significant influence typically exists if the Company has a 20% to 50% ownership interest in a venture unless persuasive evidence to the contrary exists. Under this method of accounting, the Company records its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of equity method investees and a corresponding increase or decrease to the investment balances. Cash payments to equity method investees such as additional investments, loans and advances and expenses incurred on behalf of investees as well as payments from equity method investees such as dividends, distributions and repayments of loans and advances are recorded as adjustments to investment balances. The Company applies the cumulative earnings approach for determining the cash flow presentation of cash distributions received from equity method investees. Distributions received are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities, unless the cumulative distributions exceed the Company’s portion of the cumulative equity in the net earnings of the equity method investment, in which case the excess distributions are deemed to be returns of the investment and are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.

Note 3 — Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions AdRizer, LLC

On February 11, 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of AdRizer and cancelled all outstanding performance units under AdRizer’s phantom equity plan (“Performance Units”) pursuant to that certain Unit Purchase Agreement among the Company, AdRizer, the members of AdRizer and the holders of Performance Units of AdRizer (collectively, the “Seller Members”), and Innovative Assets LLC, in its capacity as the sellers’ representative (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”), resulting in AdRizer becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price paid and payable consists of (i) $38 million in cash paid at closing, of which $10 million was deposited in an escrow account to secure the Seller Members’ indemnification obligations under the Unit Purchase Agreement, subject to customary post-closing adjustments for working capital and other items, and (ii) up to 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on January 1, 2024, determined by dividing $50 million by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock reported by Bloomberg LP for the 20 trading days preceding such date, subject to a floor price of $5.00 and maximum price of $8.00 per share (the “Purchase Price Equity”). The Company estimated the fair value of the Purchase Price Equity to be issued was $23,250,000.

If a Company change of control transaction occurs on or prior to January 1, 2024, the issuance of the Purchase Price Equity may be accelerated to allow each Seller Member to participate in such transaction on the same terms as other common stockholders of the Company (the “Acceleration”), provided that, to the extent that the consideration to be paid to the common stockholders of the Company in such transaction does not consist entirely of cash or free-trading securities listed on a national stock exchange, (i) each Seller Member may elect the Acceleration except with respect to Purchase Price Equity issuable in respect of the Performance Units, and (b) if any Seller Member has not elected the Acceleration, to the extent permitted and with respect to the Performance Units, the Company shall (i) pay each such applicable Seller Member a cash amount equal to 50% of such Seller’s Member’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Price Equity (the “Forfeited Purchase Price Equity”) and (ii) issue such Seller Member’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Price Equity less the Forfeited Purchase Price Equity.

Upon the closing of the acquisition, AdRizer entered into a new employment agreement with its chief executive officer, Kenneth Bond. Certain Seller Members including those who are employees, officers, directors or managers of AdRizer and their affiliates also agreed to be bound by three-year post-closing non-competition and non-solicitation restrictive covenants pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement.

Step 2 – Identify Performance Obligations in the Contract – Upon execution of a contract, theThe Company identifies as performance obligations each promise to transfer to the customer either (a) goods or services that are distinct, or (b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised goods or services, the Company must apply judgement to determine whether the goods or services are capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the goods or services arehas accounted for the AdRizer acquisition as a combined performance obligation.

Step 3 – Determine the Transaction Price – When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company shall recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation. The contract terms are used to determine the transaction price. Generally, all contracts include fixed consideration. If a contract did include variable consideration, the Company would determine the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price based on expected value method. Variable consideration would be included in the transaction price, if in the Company’s judgement, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenuebusiness combination under the contract would not occur.

Step 4 – Allocate the Transaction Price – After the transaction price has been determined, the next step is to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract. If the contract only has one performance obligation, the entire transaction price will be applied to that obligation. If the contract has multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling price (SSP) at contract inception.

Step 5 – Satisfactionacquisition method of the Performance Obligations (and Recognize Revenue) – Revenue is recognized when (or as) goods or services are transferred to a customer.accounting. The Company satisfies each of its performance obligations by transferring control ofhas classified the promised good or service underlying that performance obligation to the customer. Control is the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from an asset. It includes the ability to prevent other entities from directing the use of and obtaining the benefits from an asset. Indicators that control has passed to the customer include:Purchase Price Equity as a present obligation to pay; physical possession of the asset; legal title; risks and rewards of ownership; and acceptance of the asset(s). Performance obligations can be satisfied at a point in time or over time.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues continue to be recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which is upon shipment of the finished goods to the customer. All sales have fixed pricing and there are currently no material variable components included in the Company’s revenue. Additionally, the Company will issue credits for defective merchandise, historically these credits for defective merchandise have not been material.

Disaggregation of Revenuedeferred acquisition liability.

 

The Company’s primary revenue streamspurchase price allocation presented below is preliminary given the recent closing of the AdRizer acquisition. We are in the process of evaluating additional information necessary to finalize the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date including, but not limited to, post-closing adjustments to the working capital acquired and identification and valuation of developed technology and intangible assets acquired which include customer relationships and trade name, and the sale and/or licensingfair value of consumer goodsAdRizer’s investment in Mind Tank, LLC, of which we own 50% as a result of our ownership of AdRizer.

The fair value in AdRizer, and packaging materialsAdRizer’s investment in Mind Tank, used several methodologies to arrive at the current estimate.  To value assets, fixed assets were reported at NBVwhich approximates fair value.  The fair value of the intangible assets employed the following methodologies: customer relationships (Distributor method); developed technology (Multi- period Excess Earnings Method); trade name (Relief-from-Royalty); and the existing workforce was also valued (Replacement Cost method) but is included in Goodwill for innovative products. The Company’s licensing business is not material and has not been separately disaggregated for segmentreporting purposes.  The Company’s disaggregated revenuesestimated useful life of the various intangibles was based on the cash flow estimated for the threeparticular asset. Qualitative factors regarding the valuation included expected synergies between businesses and integration of the technology.

The following purchase price allocation is preliminary and details management’s estimate and allocation of the purchase price and fair value of the asset acquired and liabilities assumed at the time of closing.

The Company has estimated a seven-year useful life and recorded amortization expense of approximately $1,752,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The final fair value determination could result in material adjustments to the values presented in the preliminary purchase price allocation, including the fair value of Mind Tank, LLC, intangible assets, goodwill and the related tax impact of such adjustments. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measuresactivity of AdRizer is included in the fair valueCompany’s consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date to June 30, 2022. The amounts of financial assetsrevenue and liabilities based onearnings of AdRizer from the guidanceacquisition date of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.February 11, 2022 to June 30, 2022 are as follows:

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk. The loan held for investment was acquired at fair value, which resulted in a discount.

The following fair value of financial assets and liabilities and the input level used to determine the fair value at June 30, 2021 is presented below:

U.S. equity stocks represent investment in stocks of U.S. based companies. The valuation inputs for U.S. equity stocks are based on the last published price reported on the major stock market on which the securities are traded and are primarily classified as Level 1. Securities whose valuation inputs are not based on observable market information are classified as Level 3.

Warrant Accounting

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

The Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets as this warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that may require the Company to transfer consideration upon exercise (Please see Note 11 — Warrant Liability for further information). Each warrant is initially recorded at fair value on date of grant using the Black-Scholes model and net of issuance costs, and it is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant.

Sequencing Policy

Under ASC 815-40-35, the Company follows a sequencing policy whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of securities to the Company’s employees or directors are not subject to the sequencing policy.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company uses the United States dollar as its functional and reporting currency since the majority of the Company’s revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are in the United States. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and the cumulative translation gains and losses as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were not material.

Net Earnings or Loss per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number vested of common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of dilutive securities. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company excluded the common stock equivalents summarized below, which entitled the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued. Based upon such evaluation, except for items described in Note 15, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Segment Reporting

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company deploys resources on a consolidated level to all brands of the Company and therefore the Company only identifies one reportable operating segment with multiple product offerings.

This investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and therefore it is measured at cost less impairment.

Note 9 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) consummatedwhich defines a fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the closingexchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates, taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

Net Earnings or Loss per Share

Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number vested of common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of dilutive securities. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company excluded the common stock equivalents summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The potential dilution from common stock equivalents is computed using the treasury stock method based on the average market value of our common stock during the period.

For the period three months ending June 30, 2022, due to a reported net gain of $145,928,165, the calculation of our diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding includes all common stock equivalents as the effect would be dilutive. For the period six months ending June 30, 2022, due to a reported net loss of $227,019,793, the calculation of our diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding excludes all common stock equivalents as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The significant growth of ecommerce (Up 32.4% in 2020 versus 2019 (eMarketer 2020));
The increasing velocity of “brick and mortar” retail closures;
Product innovation and immediate delivery gratification driving consumer desire for next-generation products with distinctive sets of features and benefits without a reliance on brand awareness and familiarity;
The marriage of media-based entertainment and consumer goods
The rapid adoption of crowdsourcing to expedite successful new product launches; and
The opportunity to market products over the internet and television, rather than through traditional, commercial channels, to reach a much broader, higher qualified target market for brands, and products.

In addition, we intend. The conversion price of the July Note was voluntarily and irrevocably reduced to acquire more small brands that have achieved approximately $1 million in retail sales over the trailing twelve-month period with a track record of generating free cash flow.

We intend to use our acquisition strategy in order to acquire up to ten or more small brands per year for the next three years. In situations where we deem that a brand is not a “fit” for acquisition or partnership, we may provide the brand with certain manufacturing or consulting services that will assist the brand to achieve its goals..

One Company Initiative

During 2020, the Company had three distinct business units, which allows the Company to focus on growing sales and leveraging operations. The units consist of:ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Innovate. The Vinco Ventures New Product Development (“NPD”) platform helps inventors go from idea to reality. This is accomplished by optimizing the Company’s new product election process through deeper analytics to predict success on platforms like crowdfunding and web marketplaces like Amazon. The Company drives brand awareness of the platform by producing content for inventors and innovators on media platforms including our own Everyday Edison’s television show.

Build and Launch. Distributed by geography, industry skillset and expertise in the development process to ensure efficient product build and launch our teams of product designers and developers take the product from the concept to the consumers’ hand. The bulk of the Company’s operations are part of this business unit, and the Company will continue to develop this unit to meet the needs of our product launch schedule.

Sell. Our omni-channel sales effort is divided into three groups: (1) business-to-business revenue opportunities including traditional brick and mortar retailers, (2) online marketplaces and direct-to-consumer revenue opportunities, and (3) our NiTRO Team (Near Term Revenue Opportunities). NiTRO, identifies brands and products lines that would benefit from being part of Vinco Ventures.

In November 2020, in connection with the name change and startup of Honey Badger, the Company set a path for new key fundamentals in their strategy. Vinco Ventures, Inc. plans to leverage the new market opportunity by utilizing their B.I.G. Strategy: Buy. Innovate. Grow.

Buy. Acquisitions is our model. We will seek to acquire significant brands to continue to add to the Portfolio.

Innovate. – Leverage the internal traffic platforms of Honey Badger, our brands are able to quickly innovate and determine the highest conversion traffic and target accordingly. Once identified, we scale while maintaining conversions for success.

Grow. More targeted traffic equals more conversions. With our internal engines, we are able to expedite growth of our acquired brands to reach their target numbers quicker.

Innovate: The Vinco Ventures New Product Development & Commercialization Platform

New product ideas have little value without the ability and skill required to commercialize them. The considerable investment and executional “know how” needed to initiate a process – from idea to product distribution – has always been a challenge for the individual innovator. Vinco Ventures’ web presence is designed to take advantage of online marketplace and crowdfunding momentum for our future growth mitigating new product development risk while allowing for optimized product monetization based on a product’s likelihood to succeed. To that end, Vinco Ventures empowers and enables innovators and entrepreneurs to develop and launch products, gain consumer adoption and achieve commercial scale efficiently at little to no cost.

The cornerstone of Vinco Ventures’ competitive advantage is its NPD platform, which is designed to optimize product licensing and commercialization through best-in-class digital technologies, sourcing / manufacturing expertise and one of the largest sets of go-to-market solutions. The NPD platform can take a product from idea through ecommerce final sale in a matter of months versus a year or more for capital intensive and inefficient new product development protocols traditionally used by legacy manufacturers serving “big box” retailers.

In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Interested innovators enter the Vinco Ventures web site to register for a free account by providing their name and email address. The member then creates a username and password to use on the site. Once registered, the member is provided with their own unique, password protected dashboard by which they can begin submitting ideas and join online member forums to learn about industry trends, common questions, engage in member chats, and stay informed of the latest happenings at Vinco Ventures. They can also track the review progress of ideas they submit through their dashboard.Overview

 

Vinco Ventures accepts ideas through a secure online submission process. Once a member explores the active searches in different product categories being runis Focused on the platform for potential licensees seeking new product ideas to be commercialized, the member can submit their new product ideas for processing. Vinco Ventures regularly works with different companiesDigital Media, Advertising and retailers in various product categories to help them find new product ideas.

Registered members pay $25 to submit an idea. This submission fee covers a portion of the cost to review each idea submitted to the platform. There are no additional fees after the submission fee.

Although the platform might not have an active search that matches the innovator’s idea, the Vinco Ventures licensing team hosts an ongoing search for new consumer product ideas in all categories.

“Insider Membership” is Vinco Ventures’ premium level of membership. Members that are insiders (“Insiders”) receive feedback on all their ideas submitted and gain access to online features that aren’t available to registered members. In addition, Insiders pay $20 for each idea submitted (20% discount vs. a registered member), can opt-in ideas for free, as well as receive other benefits. An annual membership costs $99, or $9.25 / month automatically debited from a credit card each month. Also included online is feedback to the innovator on the status of each stage of the process and notification when ideas are not selected to move forward during any stage in the review process.

Insiders also have access to the Insider Licensing Program (the “ILP”). The primary benefit of the ILP is having the Vinco Ventures licensing team working directly on an innovator’s behalf to help secure a licensing agreement with one of the company’s manufacturing partners. If an idea is selected for commercialization by a retail partner, Vinco Ventures will invest in any necessary patent applications, filings and maintenance. The innovator’s name is included on any patent or patent application that Vinco Ventures files on the member’s behalf after the idea has been selected.

36

In addition to the above member programs, Vinco Ventures ASOTV (“As Seen on TV”) Team hosts a search for new products suitable for marketing via DRTV (“Direct Response TV”) and subsequent distribution in national retail chains including mass merchandisers, specialty retail, drug chains and department stores.

Product Submission Review

Led by the Company’s licensing team (which has over 150 years of combined experience in a variety of industries and product categories), all ideas submitted by innovators through the Company’s website are reviewed and assessed through an 8-stage process. Vinco Ventures’ product idea review process is confidential with non-disclosure agreements executed with every participating registered or “Insider” member.

The NPD platform’s database of over 85,000 product ideas helps determine which inventions have a substantial market opportunity quickly through proprietary algorithms that have been developed incorporating continuous learning from marketplace experience and changes in category requirements.

Selected ideas are assessed by the licensing team based on nine key factors: competing products, uniqueness, retail pricing, liability & safety, marketability, manufacturing cost, patentability, consumer relevant features and benefits, and commercialization.

The time required to review ideas depends upon different variables, such as: the number of searches concurrently running on Vinco Ventures platform, idea volume and complexity of the search, how many presentation dates to licensees are pending, the date an idea is submitted.

Presentation dates to potential licensees are usually set a few weeks following the close of the search. After the presentation has been given to a licensing / retail partner, the partner has 45 days to 6 months to select ideas on which they will move forward.

The ILP incorporates a four-stage process:

Stage #1 — Preliminary Review: The licensing team performs a preliminary review to ensure an invention meets the program criteria. Factors that might stall an idea from moving forward include: an invention is cost-prohibitive, has engineering challenges, and/or major players in the marketplace have already launched products like it. If none of these apply, an idea will be approved and move on to the preparation phase.
Stage #2 — Preparation: The licensing team performs a best partner review. Vinco Ventures’ retail and manufacturing contacts are assessed, and the team begins to plan which licensors would be the best fit for an idea. A gap analysis and visits the store shelves are executed to gain greater understanding of marketplace potential.
Stage #3 — Pitching: At this phase, an idea can become a “Finalist.” The licensing team begins to proactively pitch an idea to potential licensees using a proprietary presentation system. When a company expresses interest, the team proceeds into term sheets and negotiations while staying in constant contact with the prospect until the best possible deal is struck for the innovator.
Stage #4 — Outcome: In the end, the market decides what products will be successful. There are no guarantees. If for some reason Vinco Ventures is not successful in finding a licensing partner, a complete debrief is given to the Insider.

37

Due to the public nature of licensing, Vinco Ventures only accepts ideas from Insiders that are patented or patent-pending. A valid provisional patent application is required. The cost of submitting an idea to the ILP is $100, and a member must be an “Insider” to be considered.

The Vinco Ventures ASOTV new product development process follows a six-stage protocol appropriate for the broadcast-based sales channel. For more information regarding the ASOTV process, the Vinco Ventures NPD platform, its features and member benefits, visit https://app.edisonnation.com/faq.

Acquisition of Intellectual Property

Once an innovator’s idea is judged to be a potentially viable, commercial product and selected for potential commercialization, the Company acquires intellectual property rights from the innovator.

Once an innovator’s intellectual property is secured, the innovator’s product idea can then either be licensed to a manufacturer or retailer or developed and marketed directly by Vinco Ventures. In either case, Vinco Ventures serves as the point-of-contact with the innovator for term sheets, royalty negotiation and concluding licensing agreements. Vinco Ventures also maintains contact with the innovator to keep them engaged during product development.

In general, innovators are paid a percentage of the Company’s revenue from the commercialization of the innovator’s intellectual property. This percentage varies with the Company’s investment in the development of the intellectual property, including whether the Company decides to license the innovator’s idea for commercialization or instead, to directly develop and market the innovator’s idea.

Additionally, with a focus on profitability, future mergers and acquisitions will be considered if they enhance the full ecosystem, provide more exclusive content, and create uniqueexperiences for specific customersour active users. We currently operate the platforms and businesses described below through our significant subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities:

The Company’s designAs of June 30, 2022, there has been a downward trend in the number of monthly active users and product development professionals are dedicateddaily active users of the Lomotif technology as a result of the following reasons:

Overall drop in MAU, DAU and creations is in part due to an update requirement by the Apple Appstore. The update has limited Lomotif’s music library. This muted much of the content.
Moderation of explicit content.
New Apple privacy features limit apps abilities to track users, which in turn may limit recommendations and ad revenue.
With a focus on bugs and fixes and to integrate advertising placement in the app and on the website, Lomotif did not introduce a steady stream of new features, thus potentially impacting Creation, and Retention metrics.
Some user acquisition tests did not yield the desired conversion rates from views to active users.

As of June 30,2022, there has been an upward trend in the Impressions and Reach across the Lomotif website ecosystem. This cross-platform strategy was implemented in order to test various types of content, promotions and advertising, and intended to mitigate the commercializationdecline in advertising and marketabilityrevenue opportunities. We believe that in 2023, this trend will continue to increase traffic on Lomotif websites by leveraging the entire Lomotif social and website ecosystem. Lomotif measures active users on platform, as well as users on the Lomotif website, Lomotif promotional sites, views of new product concepts advancedlive events, and views of original Lomotif content shared on other social sites. Key metrics include active users on platform, users on Lomotif sites, site visits, content views, reach and impressions.

Manufacturing, Materials, and LogisticsCorporate Strategy

To provide greater flexibility in the manufacturing and delivery of products, and as part of a continuing effort to reduce manufacturing costs, Vinco Ventures has concentrated production of most of the Company’s products in third-party manufacturers located in China and Hong Kong. The Company maintains a fully staffed Hong Kong office for sourcing, overseeing manufacturing and quality assurance.

Vinco Ventures utilizes a variety of contracted manufacturing facilities to supply a majority of its products. The Company continues to explore more efficient and expert manufacturing partners to gain greater economies of scale, potential consolidation, and cost savings on an on-going basis.

Products are also purchased from unrelated enterprises with specific expertise in the design, development, and manufacture those specialty products.

We base our production schedulesare transitioning from focusing on customer ordersinnovation, development and forecasts, considering historical trends, resultscommercialization of market research, and current market information. Actual shipments of ordered products and order cancellation rates are affected by consumer acceptance of product lines, strength of competing products, marketing strategies of retailers, changes in buying patterns of both retailers and consumers, and overall economic conditions. Unexpected changes in these factors could result in a lack of product availability or excess inventory in a product line.

Market Overview

The process for developinglaunching LoMoTV, hosting and launching consumer products has changed significantly in recent years. Previously, Fortune 500live streaming concerts and specialty consumer product companies funded multimillion-dollar NPD divisions to develop and launch products. These products were sold primarily on “big box” retail shelves supported by large marketing investments.

The emergence of ecommerce giants, including Amazon and Walmart.com, has disrupted traditional NPD and commercialization paths and has accelerated a consumer shift away from “brick and mortar” retailers. The result has been the bankruptcy or downsizing of many iconic retailers, including Toys R Us, JC Penney, Macy’s, Sears, Kmart, Office Depot, Family Dollar, and K-B Toys, with a commensurate loss of shelf space and accessible locations.

Moreover, crowdfunding sites, like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, have also disrupted NPD process cycles and are now “mainstream.” In fact, as of October 2018, Kickstarter’s cumulative pledged funding exceeded $3.9 billion according to Kickstarter published data. Statista.com estimates that crowdfunded sales of products will exceed $18.9 billion by 2021.

These crowdfunding sites have enabled individual innovators and entrepreneurs to design, prototype and market unique products to millions of potential customers with significantly lower acquisition costs when compared to the capital and time required by legacy NPD processes.

COVID-19

COVID-19 has caused and continues to cause significant loss of life and disruption to the global economy, including the curtailment of activities by businesses and consumers in much of the world as governments and others seek to limit the spread of the disease, and through business and transportation shutdowns and restrictions on people’s movement and congregation.

As a result of the pandemic, we have experienced, and continue to experience, weakened demand for our traditional products. Many of our customers have been unable to sell our products in their stores due to government-mandated closures and have deferred or significantly reduced orders for our products.celebrity events. We expect these trends to continue until such closures are significantly curtailedfurther this effort by continuing to invest in acquisitions, joint ventures, and growing our own capacity to create and distribute content. For example, we expect that future joint ventures, licensing, loan financing or lifted. In addition,other arrangements with ZASH and PZAJ Holdings, LLC will generate entertainment content that we plan to distribute through the pandemic has reduced foot traffic in the stores where our products are sold that remain open, and the global economic impact of the pandemic has temporarily reduced consumer demand for our products as they focus on purchasing essential goods.Lomotif platform, among other distribution channels.

Through Ed Med, the Company wholesales Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”) products through an online portal for hospitals, government agencies and distributors.process of spinning off Cryptyde.

 

Given these factors, the Company anticipates that the greatest impact from the COVID-19 pandemic in fiscal 2020 occurred in the first quarter of 2020 resulting in a significant net sales decline as compared to the first quarter of 2019.Recent Developments

In addition, certain of our suppliers and the manufacturers of certain of our products were adversely impacted by COVID-19. As a result, we faced delays or difficulty sourcing products, which negatively affected our business and financial results. Even if we are able to find alternate sources for such products, they may cost more and cause delays in our supply chain, which could adversely impact our profitability and financial condition.

We have taken actions to protect our employees in response to the pandemic, including closing our corporate offices and requiring our office employees to work from home. At our distribution centers, certain practices are in effect to safeguard workers, including a staggered work schedule, and we are continuing to monitor direction from local and national governments carefully. Additionally, our two retail locations have been closed until further notice.

As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on our financial results, and the anticipated future impact of the pandemic, we implemented cost control measures and cash management actions during 2020, including:

● Furloughing a significant portion of our employees in the first quarter of 2020;

● Implementing 20% salary reductions across our executive team and other members of upper-level management in the first and second quarter of 2020;

● Executing reductions in operating expenses, planned inventory levels and non-product development capital expenditures throughout 2020; and

● Proactively managing working capital, including reducing incoming inventory to align with anticipated sales.

Leveraging Evolving Market Opportunities for Growth

 

41

Competition and Industry Background

In terms of the Company’s consumer products business, competition is intensifying due to trends towards shorter life cycles for the development, production and marketability of consumer products. Competition is also intensifying due to the availability of online-only distributors, including Amazon.com, which can promote a wide variety of consumer products and represent a wide variety of manufacturers at low cost and limited overhead.

Vinco Ventures’ competitive set includes other online inventor platforms (e.g., InventHelp, Quirky, Mako Design + Invent, Davison, and Invention City). Each of these companies operate different types of business models that combine different consulting, development and service fees, and royalty structures.

Vinco Ventures was originally founded by the creators of the Emmy Award winning PBS television show, Everyday Edisons. One of the original founders, Louis Freeman, is currently a member of the Vinco Ventures board of directors. The Company’s model differs significantly from others in the inventor space in that it assumes the considerable financial risk, manpower and time required to monetize a product, from concept selection through sale. A portion of the commercialized product’s net profit is shared with the inventor through a variety of forms of licensing agreements.

The Company also competes with large manufacturing companies who develop and commercialize their own products in categories in which Vinco Ventures currently participates. However, we also are increasing the Company’s “co-op-etition” footprint with companies, like Black & Decker, who not only compete in product development but also have become active “cooperative” participants on the Vinco Ventures online innovation platform.

Customers

We sell our products to a diverse network of customers. Domestically, we sell our products to specialty retailers, mass-market retailers and e-commerce sites. Internationally, we sell our products directly to similar retailers and distributors.

One customer represented 11% and 11% of our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No customers represented more than 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Intellectual Property

We believe that Vinco Ventures’ intellectual property rights have significant value in the marketplace, and that in order to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, that we must continue to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technologies. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright and other intellectual property rights and measures to protect our intellectual property.

We seek protection on our products in as many countries as practical, through registered trademarks, copyrights and patents to the extent that such protection is available, cost effective and valuable to our products and brands. We also rely on other forms of intellectual property rights and measures, including trade secrets and nondisclosure agreements, to maintain and protect proprietary aspects of our products and technologies. We require our employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements in connection with their employment or consulting relationships with us. We also require our employees and consultants to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived during the term of their employment or engagement which relate to our business.

Although we believe we are sufficiently protected, the failure to obtain or the loss of some of these intellectual property rights could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

42

Seasonality

The consumer products business is highly seasonal with consumers making a large percentage of purchases during the traditional holiday season.

These seasonal purchasing patterns and requisite production lead times create risk to our business associated with the underproduction of popular consumer products and the overproduction of less popular consumer products that do not match consumer demand.

These factors increase the risk that the Company may not be able to meet demand for certain products at peak demand times or that our own inventory levels may be adversely impacted by the need to pre-build products before orders are placed. Additionally, as retailers manage their inventories, we may experience cyclical ordering patterns for products and product lines that may cause our sales to vary significantly from period to period.

E-commerce has partially reduced traditional seasonality to moderate seasonality.

Edison Nation Medical Operations

Edison Nation Holdings, LLC formed Edison Nation Medical (“EN Medical”) in May of 2012 as a partnership with Carolinas Healthcare Systems (now called Atrium). Atrium is the 2nd largest healthcare system in the US. Carolina Health (Atrium) looked to identify a way to aggregate and commercialize the healthcare related innovations that were coming from their physicians, nurses, and patients, and Edison Nation offered a platform to provide that function.

EN Medical built out a separate platform, leveraging the Edison Nation model to look for ideas that improved patient care and lowered costs. EN collected some great ideas, but the market shifted and EN found that the licensing model was very difficult as big medical device companies wanted to acquire companies with sales versus just buying IP and prototypes.

Today, EN Medical operates an online portal granting hospitals, government agencies and distributors access to its catalog of medical supplies and hand sanitizers.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult and subjective judgments have an impact on revenue recognition, the determination of share-based compensation, financial instruments, liabilities associated with the Company’s outstanding warrants, business combinations, and financial instruments.asset acquisitions. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Components

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no changes in such policies or the application of our Resultssuch policies during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a result of Operationsthe acquisition of Adrizer, the Company added a new revenue stream, Digital Media Advertising and Licensing, to its Revenue Recognition policy. Additionally, as a result of the Company’s interest in Love is Blurred, the Company has recorded Film and Television Production assets in accordance with Topic 926. As a result of these changes in the first six months of 2022, new Investments have been recognized. The details for each of these topics are as follows: 

Revenue Recognition

The Company considers all revenues as arising from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized based on the five-step process outlined in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional clarification on the Company’s Digital Media Advertising and Licensing revenue recognition policy is provided below.

 

RevenuesDigital Media Advertising and Licensing

The Company’s digital media advertising revenues are generated primarily from the posting of original digital content through third-party online platforms which are then delivered to users of the online platform across the customer’s digital advertising platform and becomes monetizable to the Company, which the Company concludes is its performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the services are transferred to customers and the transaction price is determined by the third-party online platform. Revenue from the digital media platform is primarily recognized based on impressions delivered to customers. An “impression” is delivered when an advertisement appears on pages viewed by users. For impressions-based digital advertising, revenues are recognized as impressions are delivered over the term of the arrangement, while revenue from non-impressions-based digital advertising is recognized over the period that the advertisements are displayed. Such amounts are recognized net of agency commissions and provisions for estimated sales incentives, including rebates, rate adjustments or discounts.

Licensing revenues are derived from the sale of a licensee’s products that incorporates the Company’s intellectual property. Royalty revenues are recognized during the quarter in which the Company receives a report from the licensee detailing the shipment of products that incorporate the Company’s intellectual property, which receipt is in the quarter following the licensee’s sale of such products to its customers. Royalties are calculated as a percentage of the revenues received by the Company’s licensees on sales of products incorporating the Company’s intellectual property.

39

Identification of a Customer and Gross versus Net Revenue Recognition

In the normal course of business, the Company acts as or uses an intermediary or agent in executing transactions with third parties. When the intermediary or agent is determined to be the Company’s customer, the Company records revenue based on the amount it expects to receive from the agent or intermediary.

In other circumstances, the determination of whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on an assessment of whether the Company is acting as the principal or an agent in the transaction. If the Company is acting as a principal in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a gross basis. If the Company is acting as an agent in a transaction, the Company reports revenue on a net basis. The determination of whether the Company is acting as a principal or an agent in a transaction involves judgment and is based on an evaluation of the terms of the arrangement. The Company serves as the principal in transactions in which it controls the goods or services prior to being transferred to the ultimate customer.

For AdRizer, FASB ASC 606 requires an entity to determine whether it is a principal (recognizes revenue at the gross amount) or an agent (recognizes revenue at the net amount) for each promised good or service. Based on the FASB guidance, the Company has determined that AdRizer is the principal for each promised good or service, thus, revenue is recognized at the gross amount of the transactions. Revenue from traffic sales and traffic management services are generally recognized at the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied.

In addition, the Company saw large increases in legal and professional fees and compensation costs in both periods as compared to the 2021 periods, as the overall size and scope of the business has increased significantly since 2021, primarily due to the additions of Lomotif and AdRizer since the 2021 periods.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain non-recurring items and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of our ongoing operating performance from period to period. These items will include stock-based compensation, restructuring and severance costs, transaction costs, acquisition costs, certain other non-recurring charges and gains that the Company does not believe reflects the underlying business performance.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA consisted of the following:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Management believes that because Adjusted EBITDA excludes (a) certain non-cash expenses (such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) and (b) expenses that are not reflective of the Company’s core operating results over time (such as restructuring costs, litigation or dispute settlement charges or gains, and transaction-related costs), this measure provides investors with additional useful information to measure the Company’s financial performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period. The Company’s management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (a) as a measure of operating performance, (b) for planning and forecasting in future periods, and (c) in communications with the Company’s board of directors concerning the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation and should not be used by investors as a substitute or alternative to net income or any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be used to supplement the Company’s financial measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP to provide a more complete understanding of the trends affecting the business.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations to using non-GAAP measures as an analytical tool are (a) they do not reflect the Company’s interest income and expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal paymentsnoncontrolling interests on the Company’s debt, (b) they do not reflect future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, and (c) although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

As discussed above, the Company incurred significant losses during the first six months of 2022, and has a history of losses since inception. Since 2021, a significant percentage of its losses has been driven by non-cash expenses items, especially losses caused by liability accounting for its investor warrants. The Company used approximately $72 million in cash for operations during the first six months of 2022. This amount included approximately $8.2 million for transaction related costs associated with its acquisition of AdRizer in February 2022, and a $10 million payment of accrued registration rights penalties owed to Hudson Bay. This amount also included significant investments in sales, marketing and promotional activities which the Company engaged in during the first quarter to drive awareness and interest in the Lomotif application and Lomotif branded websites, especially for events livestreamed on the Lomotif platform. During the first six months of the year, the Company live streamed and promoted the Shaq Fun House event in January, the Okeechobee Music Festival in February, and the Electronic Daisy Carnival (“EDC”) in May. These expenses were intended to create traffic and interactions with the Lomotif digital properties with the goal of generating advertising revenue opportunities utilizing the capabilities of AdRizer, which the Company expects will reduce its operating cash needs during the rest of 2022. To date, these efforts have not led to any meaningful revenue and there is no guarantee that the Company will successfully do so. If additional advertising revenues are not generated as quickly, or in sufficient amount, the Company will need to utilize its unrestricted cash on hand to fund its operations.

49

As a result of the Company’s repayments to Hudson Bay (see Note 17 - Subsequent Events) and a lack of issuable stock, it has been unable to raise significant proceeds with which to increase its liquidity. As it looks forward into early 2023, it now has preferred shares authorized with which to begin the capital raising process, should market conditions permit.

Furthermore, the Company may determine it is in the best interests of the Company to pursue additional investments, acquisitions, or funding of marketing and promotional efforts as the Company expands its presence and capabilities within the digital media marketplace. To do so, the Company may require additional cash resources that the Company could generate through the sale of common stock, the exercise of outstanding warrants, and the issuance of convertible debt, each of which the Company has utilized to raise capital since 2021. As of the date of this report, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital is restricted by its lack of available, authorized but not outstanding common shares. The Company is currently seeking authorization from its shareholders to increase the number of shares it is authorized to issue under its Articles of Incorporation, but has not received the requisite vote needed to pass the proposal. Therefore, as discussed in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements attached herein, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations through twelve months following the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As a result, until the Company is able to raise additional capital, the Company has begun implement steps to conserve its unrestricted cash on hand and address any going concern issues, including but not limited to the following steps:

Reduce headcount,
Reduce marketing, promotional and content development and production activities,
Evaluate the sales of assets or subsidiaries.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer, we have not completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the COSO Framework.2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework. Based on this evaluation under the COSO Framework,framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2021.2022.

56

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.

However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

As of December 31, 2020,2021, and June 30, 2022, management completed an effective assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO)COSO framework. Management has concluded that as of December 31, 2021, and June 30,2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP. There have not been any changes to internal controls during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Management identified the following material weaknessesweakness set forth below in our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company was unable to provide a timely financial reporting package in connection with its December 31, 2021 Form 10-K year end audit. This was primarily the result of the Company’s limited accounting personnel. This also limits the extent to which the Company can segregate incompatible duties and has a lack of controls in place to ensure that all material transactions, related party transactions, and developments or significant unusual transactions impacting the financial statements are reflected. There is a risk under the current circumstances that intentional or unintentional errors could occur and not be detected.

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company was unable to provide timely financing reporting packages for periods ending June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 Form 10-Q. The Company was subject to circumstances which included:

 

 1.On July 21, 2022, the Board duly appointed John Colucci as interim co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company and ratified the appointment of Theodore Farnsworth as co-Chief Executive Officer to serve together with Mr. Colucci in lieu of Lisa King in such capacity. Mr. Farnsworth’s appointment as co-Chief Executive Officer was previously reported in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 14, 2022. [Prior to Mr. Colucci’s appointment as interim co-Chief Executive Officer and prior to his appointment as a director, Mr. Colucci had been determined by the Board to be an independent director within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2).] The Company was unableboard unanimously agreed to providereplace the vacant independent board seat with a timely financial reporting package in connection withqualified independent director within the year end audit. This was primarily thenext 30 days.
As a result of the Company’s limited accounting personnel. This also limits the extent to whichappointment of John Colucci as interim co-Chief Executive Officer the Company can segregate incompatible dutieswas found to be not in compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements that the Board be comprised of a majority of independent directors and hasthat the audit committee of the Board be comprised of at least three independent directors. On July 22, 2022, the Company was notified by Nasdaq of the foregoing noncompliance. The Company and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board commenced a search for an additional independent director to replace Mr. Colucci as a director and enable the Company to cure such noncompliance as soon as practicable.

51

Based on the discovery of the lack of controls in place to ensure that all materialdisclosure of 3rd-party related transactions and developments impactinginformation that brought into question whether Mr. Colucci met the financial statements are reflected. Thererequirements of independence for NASDAQ listing when he became an independent director, the company hired independent counsel to determine whether Mr. Colucci met these requirements. The Chairman recommended to the board that Mr. Colucci step down immediately as an independent director for the next sixty days until the determination of whether independence was met.
On August 3, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit against each of Ted Farnsworth, Lisa King, Rod Vanderbilt and Erik Noble, alleging four causes of action, including: (i) breach of fiduciary duty, (ii) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) civil conspiracy and (iv) declaratory and injunctive relief in the event that no other legal remedy is available to the Company.
On September 28, 2022, the Company entered into a risk undersettlement agreement with respect to the current circumstances that intentional or unintentional errors could occurlitigation, in which it appointed Ross Miller the sole CEO of the Company. John Colucci and not be detected.Phillip Jones, former CFO, both resigned effectively immediately as executives of the Company. Michael DiStasio and Elliot Goldstein resigned effective immediately as Directors of the Company. No CFO was immediately appointed following Mr. Jones’ resignation.
On October 26, 2022, Brendan Bosack was appointed interim CFO of the Company.
On November 11, 2022, the management of the Company executed a reduction-in-force plan to reduce operating costs and better align its workforce expenses with the needs of its business. Under this Plan, the Company reduced its workforce by 39 employees (approximately 65%).

 

These circumstances may have impacted our internal control over financial reporting which may include additional material weaknesses such as: (a) the absence of controls designed to validate the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the determination of accounting transactions; (b) lack of written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures (c) insufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions and (d) inadequacy of the number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

In addition, in June 2022, the Company was a victim of an email spoofing attack where the intruder was able to obtain access to the Company’s email system and send emails internally that had fake invoices that were presented and appeared to be approved for payment in accordance with the Company’s standard wire approval process. As a result of this email intrusion, the Company incorrectly wired funds to two vendors in error in the aggregate of $4,010,000. Fortunately, the fraudulent wires were detected quickly, and the Company was able to recover approximately 95% of the fraudulently wire funds.

Remediation Plan to Address Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is committed to improving its internal controls. Due to the nature of these material weaknesses, it is reasonably possible that misstatements which could be material to the interim consolidated financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected during our financial close and reporting process.

Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to develop a comprehensive plan and implement the changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The plan will include: (i) appointing additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopting sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

We are not required by current SEC rules to include, and do not include an auditor’s attestation report regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, our registered public accounting firm has not attested to management’s reports on our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company is party to legal actions that are routine and incidental to its business. However, based upon available information and in consultation with legal counsel, except as otherwise disclosed in our financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, management does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s assets, business, cash flow, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects and\or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

The below risk factors are intended to supplement and not replace, the risk factors set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Please read these risk factors in conjunction with those set forth in the aforementioned 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The loss of one or more of Vinco’s key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.

 

Not applicableIn order to smaller reporting companies.be successful, Vinco must continue to attract, retain and motivate executives and other key employees across the Company. Hiring and retaining qualified executives is critical to our future. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased attrition and significant shifts in the labor market and employee expectations.

Vinco may be unable to attract and retain highly qualified management and employees, particularly if we do not offer employment terms competitive with the rest of the market. Failure to attract and retain qualified individuals, key leaders, executives and employees, or failure to develop and implement a viable succession plan, could result in inadequate depth of institutional knowledge or skill sets, which could adversely affect Vinco’s business and results of operations.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will need substantial additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to raise funding through equity markets as and when needed, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets, and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements. Our lack of cash resources and our potential inability to continue as a going concern may materially adversely affect the price of our Common Stock and our ability to raise new capital, enter into critical contractual relations with third parties, meet our obligations as they become due and otherwise execute our business strategy.

 

Additionally, the Company may have the inability to raise additional equity capital due to lack of authorized common stock.

53

We are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. If we are unable to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, our Common Stock could be delisted, which could affect the price of our Common Stock and liquidity and reduce our ability to raise capital.

On December 1, 2022, Vinco Ventures, Inc. received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC advising the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) as a result of requiring listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement. However, the Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance.

On January 4, 2023, the Company received a notification from Nasdaq that since it had not held an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year end ended December 31, 2021, it no longer complies with Nasdaq’s Rules for continued listing.

Under the Rules the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and if the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until June 29, 2023, to regain compliance. The Company plans to submit a plan which is to hold an annual meeting no later than March 31, 2023.

We have experienced a delay of stockholder meeting and may receive alternate exercise notices from our investors.

The Company entered into a May Exchange Agreement which requires the Company to hold a stockholder meeting no later than July 4, 2022 under Section 7(q). As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30, 2022, the Company postponed the Special Meeting from July 1, 2022 until July 26, 2022, in order to provide additional time for the Company’s stockholders to consider and vote on the proposals to be acted upon at the Special Meeting.

On July 5, 2022, the Holder submitted Alternate Exercise Notices to the Company with respect to (i) 14,500,000 exercise shares under the November Warrants, and (ii) 67,760,699 exercise shares under the December Warrants, for an aggregate payment equal to $33,886,612 (the “Warrant Payment”). On July 6, 2022, the Company made the Warrant Payment, in cash, to the Holder pursuant to the Alternate Exercise Notices and, as a result, a total of 82,260,699 warrants held by the Holder were canceled.

54

We may incur liability as a result of content published using our Platform or as a result of claims related to content generated by our developers, creators, and users, including copyright infringement, and legislation regulating content on our Platform may require us to change our Platform or business practices.

Our success relies in part on the ability of Lomotif to drive engagement with content. Content creators generate content they upload to our service, but some creators may upload content that infringes the terms and rights of third parties or violates our terms of use. If we should fail to qualify for statutory or other legal protections that immunize us from monetary damages for intellectual property infringement, the damages could be significant and have a material impact on our business. While we have implemented measures designed to limit our exposure to claims of intellectual property infringement, intellectual property owners may allege that we failed to take appropriate measures to prevent infringing activities on our systems, that we turned a blind eye to infringement, or that we facilitated, induced or contributed to infringement.

A number of entities who are members of the National Music Publishers Association, or NMPA, have threatened litigation against us where they alleged that we engaged in copyright infringement by having used certain musical compositions owned or controlled by them on our Lomotif platform without necessary licenses. We vigorously dispute and have disputed claims of infringement by such publishers but could be subject to additional claims in the future. An adverse judgment against us in any such lawsuit could require us to settle any claims for an undetermined amount which could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We may also be required to enter into license agreements with various licensors, including record labels, music publishers, performing rights organizations, and collective management organizations, to obtain licenses that authorize the storage and use of content uploaded by our users. We may not be able to develop technological solutions to comply with these laws on economically reasonable terms and there is no guarantee that we will be able to enter into agreements with all relevant rights holders on terms that we deem reasonable. Compliance may therefore negatively impact our financial prospects.

We are increasingly dependent on information technology, and potential cyberattacks, security problems, or other disruption and expanding social media vehicles present new risks.

We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the internet, to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, billing, and operating data. We may purchase some of our information technology from vendors, on whom our systems will depend, and we rely on commercially available systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission, and storage of confidential operator and other customer information. We depend upon the secure transmission of this information over public networks. Our networks and storage applications could be subject to unauthorized access by hackers or others through cyberattacks, which are rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly sophisticated, or by other means, or may be breached due to operator error, malfeasance or other system disruptions. In fact, in June 2022, the Company was a victim of an email spoofing attack where the intruder was able to obtain access to the Company’s email system and send emails internally that had fake invoices that were presented and appeared to be approved for payment in accordance with the Company’s standard wire approval process. As a result of this email intrusion, the Company incorrectly wired funds to two vendors in error in the aggregate of $4,010,000. Fortunately, the fraudulent wires were detected quickly, and the Company was able to recover approximately 95% of the fraudulently wired funds. In some cases, it will be difficult to anticipate or immediately detect such incidents and the damage they cause. Any significant breakdown, invasion, destruction, interruption, or leakage of information from our systems could harm our reputation and business.

55

Hostile takeover attempt and subsequent litigation.

Prior to filing of this second quarter report, which was submitted within the agreed upon compliance plan agree to with Nasdaq, but substantially delayed, the Company was engaged in litigation in Q3 due to a hostile takeover attempt by a newly appointed independent director. The disruption to the Company due to a drastic and immediate departure for the Company business plan, which resulted in SEC filings that were substantially inaccurate, along with the subsequent litigation, which ultimately resulted in the departure of the independent board members along with senior management, was a significant risk factor for the Company and will continue to be so moving forward. Further detail will be provided in our third quarter filing along with our annual filing.
