Explanatory Note
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (Amendment No. 1) amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Liberated Syndication Corp. (the “Company”) on August 14, 2018 (the “Original 10-Q”) to restate our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018 and to amend related disclosures.
Background of the Restatement
On April 28, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Liberated Syndication Inc, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) determined that (a) the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018, (b) the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, (c) the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the year ended December 31, 2018, and (d) the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year December 31, 2018, all as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Period Ended December 31, 2018, as previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2019, should not be relied upon. Subsequent to such determination, the Company reviewed the related interim financial statements and interim financial statements for the first three quarters of 2019 and 2018, and as a result of such review, on May 20, 2020, the Audit Committee determined that such interim financial statement should likewise no longer be relied upon.
Specifically, the amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 for total assets, current liabilities, and consequently total liabilities and total stockholders’ equity, were determined to be materially different. Additionally, the income tax (benefit) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was changed. As a result, the net income and the basic and diluted income per common share were determined to be materially different. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 also changed as a result of the deferred income taxes and income tax payable for 2018.
During the 2019 audit process, it was discovered through an ongoing IRS examination that the Company owed Federal tax for 2018.
The IRS examination uncovered an error in calculating the Net Operating Loss Carryforward (NOL) resulting from the spin-off of Libsyn in 2016. At December 31, 2017, the Company had recorded an NOL of approximately $14 million. The NOL was part of deferred tax asset which was valued at $0 on the balance sheet, as it had a full valuation allowance. Consequently, the Company was not recognizing tax expenses or the associated tax payable during 2018. However, as the IRS examination continued, it has become clear that the $14 million NOL was overestimated by approximately $12.5 million, and by March 31, 2018, that the NOL has been completely utilized. The result is that the Company ought to have begun recording income tax (benefit) expense in 2018.
This Federal Tax Balance will be paid with an amended return in 2020.
The Company has temporary tax differences which result in a deferred tax asset (DTA). Under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, a DTA is to be recognized for the potential future tax benefit from a loss carryforward. Full realization of the benefit, however, depends on the Company having income in future years.
Because the NOL has been completely utilized and the Company is now consistently recording profits, a DTA with the associated payable should have been recorded in 2018. DTAs represent future income tax benefits. But the tax (benefits) will be realized only if there is sufficient taxable income from which the deductible amount can be deducted.
Impact of the Restatement
As a result of the restatement, reported net income from continuing operations was decreased by $173,209, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
As a result of the restatement, reported net income from continuing operations was increased by $1,097,850, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Total assets increased by $1,380,251 at June 30, 2018. Current and total liabilities increased by $282,401 at June 30, 2018. Accumulated deficit decreased by $1,097,850 at June 30, 2018.

No attempt has been made in this Form 10-Q/A to update other disclosures presented in the Original Filing, except as required to reflect the effects of the restatement.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management made assumptions and estimates for determining reserve for accounts receivable, depreciation of fixed assets and in determining the impairment of definite life intangible assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.
 
Our more significant estimates include:
 
the determination of the best estimate of selling price of the deliverables included in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements;
the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions;
the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets;
the estimated reserve for refunds;
the estimated useful lives of intangible and depreciable assets;
the grant date fair value of equity-based awards;
the recognition, measurement, and valuation of current and deferred income taxes;

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Long-lived intangible assets – The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.
 
TechnologySoftware Development Costs - Software development costs associated with software to be sold, leased, or for internal use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility, defined as a working model or prototype, has been established. At that time, such costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release. To date, costs incurred between the completion of a working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have been insignificant. Accordingly, the Company has expensed all such costs to technology during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192018 and 2018.2017. TechnologySoftware development costs totaled $1,390,161$865,899 and $1,292,238$306,059 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192018 and 2018,2017, respectively.
 
Goodwill – Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually on December 31,in the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Triggering events that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate that could affect the value of goodwill or a significant decrease in expected cash flows. Management noted no triggering events during the period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2018.
 
Advertising Costs – Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $64,254$67,368 and $95,075$16,140 for the ninesix months ending SeptemberJune 30, 20192018 and 2018,2017, respectively.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
The fair value of the Company’s equity-based awards recorded in the Company’s financial statements during the first quarter of 2019 was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology based upon a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path, a Level 3 measurement. Volatility was based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over commensurate periods. The expected life was based on the contractual term of the award, and the risk-free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury Securities with a maturity similar to the awards’ expected life.
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable, deferred revenue and accrued expenses approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.
 
Revenue Recognition - The Company accountsOn January 1, 2018, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) new revenue recognition standard using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for revenuereporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new standard, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 606. our historic accounting.
The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact to our financial statements.
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to our customers, in an amount reflecting the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
 
Certain products are generally sold with a right of return within our policy, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Refunds are estimated at contract inception using the expected value method based on historical refund experience and updated each reporting period as additional information becomes available and only to the extent it is probable a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Refunds reduce deferred revenue at the time they are granted and resulted in a reduced amount of revenue recognized over the contract term of the applicable service compared to the amount originally expected.
 
Our revenue is categorized and disaggregated as follows:
 
Domains - Domains revenue primarily consists of domain registrations and renewals, domain privacy, domain application fees, domain back-orders, aftermarket domain sales and fee surcharges paid to ICANN. Domain registrations provide a customer with the exclusive use of a domain during the applicable contract term. After the contract term expires, unless renewed, the customer can no longer access the domain. Consideration is recorded as deferred revenue when received, which is typically at the time of sale, and revenue, other than for aftermarket domain sales, is recognized over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied, which is generally over the contract term. Aftermarket domain revenue is recognized when ownership of the domain is transferred to the buyer.
 
Hosting Services - Hosting services revenue primarily consists of website hosting products, website building products and services, website security products, an online shopping cart and online visibility products and email accounts. Consideration is recorded as deferred revenue when received, which is typically at the time of sale, and revenue is recognized over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied, which is generally over the contract term.
 
Podcast Hosting - Podcast hosting publishing services are billed on a month to month basis, with first month’s bill prorated to the end of the month so all performance obligations are satisfied at each month-end. Consideration is recorded as revenue as the services, the underlying performance obligation, are provided and or satisfied and collection is probable which is generally when received.
 
Media Subscription Services - The Company facilitates the sale of producers’ premium content through the sale of subscriptions. The amount earned per transaction is fixed with the producers determiningdetermine the price for the sale of each subscription, and the Company earns a percentage of what the customer pays. The performance obligation is providing the subscription hosting medium and billing services. Accordingly, the Company reports premium subscription revenue on a net basis over the subscription service period in which the performance obligation is satisfied.
 
Advertising - The Company recognizes revenue from the insertion of advertisements in digital media. The performance obligation is the download of the digital media with the advertisement inserted. The performance obligation to recognize advertising revenue is satisfied upon delivery of the media download and collection is probable.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Equity-Based Compensation - Our equity-based awards are comprised of options and stock and are accounted for using the fair value method. We grant options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock as reported on the OTCQB on the date of grant. We measure and recognize compensation expense for equity-based awards made to employees and directors based on the grant date fair values of the awards. Stock is measured based on the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. AwardsFor options with service or performance-based vesting conditions, the grant date fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make assumptions and apply judgment in determining the grant date fair value. Options and award vest and compensation is recognized over the requisite service period. The measurement date for performance vesting awards is the date on which the applicable performance criteria are approved by our board of directors. Key assumptions used in the determination of fair value for stock options are as follows:

LIBERATED SYNDICATION INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Expected term. The expected term represents the period the options are expected to be outstanding. Because of the lack of sufficient historical data necessary to calculate the expected term, we use the simple average of the vesting period and the contractual term to estimate the expected term.
Expected volatility. We determine the expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatilities of our common stock.
Expected dividend yield. We do not use a dividend rate due to our expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
Risk-free interest rate. We base the risk-free interest rate on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a maturity equal to the expected term of the option on the grant date.
 
Leases – On January 1, 2019, theThe Company adoptedaccounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 842, Leases. ASC 842 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing right-of-use assets and(“ASC”) Topic 840. Leases that meet one or more of the capital lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements.
We elected to transition to ASC 842 using the option to apply thecriteria of standard on its effective date, January 1, 2019. The comparative periods presented reflect the former lease accounting guidance and the required comparative disclosures are included in Note 8 – Leases. There was not a material cumulative-effect adjustment to our beginning retained earningsrecorded as a result of adopting ASC 842. We have recognized additionalcapital lease, all other leases are operating lease assets and obligations of $1.4 million and $1.0 million as of January 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively. For additional disclosure and detail, see Note 8 – Leases.leases.
 
Earnings Per Share – The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260 Earnings Per Share, which requires the Company to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share when the effect is dilutive (see Note 9).
 
Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. This topic requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes (See Note 7).
 
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - In February 2016, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for leases that primarily affect presentation and disclosure requirements. The new standard will require the recognition of a right to use asset and underlying lease liability for operating leases with an initial life in excess of one year. This standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2019. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 5 - CAPITAL STOCK
 
Common Stock - The Company has authorized 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019, 29,271,9742018, 29,776,974 shares were issued and outstanding.
In prior periods, the Company issued stock-based awards to employees that contained a vesting performance condition related to the occurrence of an uplisting of the Company’s common stock to the NASDAQ stock exchange. Such awards were initially expensed in the period issued as the Company deemed it probable the performance condition would be met. During the first quarter of 2019, approximately $830,500 of previously recognized expense related to these awards was recaptured in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) as a credit to general and administrative expense as it became less than probable that such performance conditions would occur within the time specified in the stock award agreements. Per the settlement agreement, 300,000 of these shares will be returned after the period ending September 30, 2019 (See Note 12).
On March 15, 2019 (“Modification Date”), the Company modified certain stock awards previously issued which contained a market condition. The prior agreement required the Company’s adjusted market capitalization to exceed $75 million on five consecutive days by April 23, 2019, whereas the modified award increases the adjusted market capitalization threshold to $80 million on five consecutive days within 18 months of the Modification Date. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recorded the incremental fair value of the newly modified award over the fair value of the original award, as compensation expense totaling $677,088.
On April 13, 2019, 450,000 shares of common stock were forfeited as certain milestones were not achieved.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes which requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total of all deferred tax assets was $1,380,251 and $3,458,667, respectively, and the total of the deferred tax assets related to goodwill was $0 and $2,341,894, respectively. The 2017 deferred tax asst was fully allowed for in the year. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Company’s future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Management has analyzed the health of the Company and it is now more likely than not that the company will likely have strong income from operations moving forward. Therefore, the valuation allowance has been relieved. The change in the valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1,380,251 and $85,657, respectively.
The components of income tax (benefit) expense from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 consist of the following:

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards and changes in the ownership of the Company, a valuation allowance has been established equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $1.9M as of September 30, 2019, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount.

NOTE 8 - LEASES
 
We leaseOperating Lease - The Company leases two office spaces in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The corporate headquarters’ lease is for $4,841 a Denver data center, and three Xerox machines. These leases are all classified as operating leases. Theremonth through April 2022. The office space for Pair is one capital lease for Emerson batteries which is immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating lease assets and obligations are reflected within Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of operating lease liabilities, and Operating lease liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.$34,014 a month through September 2021.
Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with variable
The future minimum lease payments recognized in the period those payments are incurred.
We have options to renew lease terms for the office spaces and other assets. We evaluate renewal and termination options at the lease commencement date to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors. The weighted average remaining lease term for ournon-cancelable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019 was 2.05 years.
The discount rate implicit within our leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate for purposes of classifying the lease and measuring the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate for our leases is determined based on lease term in a similar economic environment, adjusted for impacts of collateral. The weighted average discount rate used to measure our operating lease liabilities2018 are as of September 30, 2019 was 4.42%.follows:

NOTE 13 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Background of the Restatement
On April 28, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Liberated Syndication Inc, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) determined that (a) the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018, (b) the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, (c) the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the year ended December 31, 2018, and (d) the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year December 31, 2018, all as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Period Ended December 31, 2018, as previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2019, should not be relied upon. Subsequent to such determination, the Company reviewed the related interim financial statements and interim financial statements for the first three quarters of 2019 and 2018, and as a result of such review, on May 20, 2020, the Audit Committee determined that such interim financial statement should likewise no longer be relied upon.
Specifically, the amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 for total assets, current liabilities, and consequently total liabilities and total stockholders’ equity, were determined to be materially different. Additionally, the income tax (benefit) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was changed. As a result, the net income and the basic and diluted income per common share were determined to be materially different. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 also changed as a result of the deferred income taxes and income tax payable for 2018.
During the 2019 audit process, it was discovered through an ongoing IRS examination it was discovered that the Company owed Federal tax for 2018.

LIBERATED SYNDICATION INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The IRS examination uncovered an error in calculating the Net Operating Loss Carryforward (NOL) resulting from the spin-off of Libsyn in 2016. At December 31, 2017, the Company had recorded an NOL of approximately $14 million. The NOL was part of deferred tax asset which was valued at $0 on the balance sheet, as it had a full valuation allowance. Consequently, the Company was not recognizing tax expenses or the associated tax payable during 2018. However, as the IRS examination continued, it has become clear that the $14 million NOL was overestimated by approximately $12.5 million, and by March 31, 2018, that the NOL has been completely utilized. The result is that the Company ought to have occurred that would requirebegun recording tax expenses in 2018.
This Federal Tax Balance will be paid with an amended return in 2020.
The Company has temporary tax differences which result in a deferred tax asset (DTA). Under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, a DTA is to be recognized for the potential future tax benefit from a loss carryforward. Full realization of the benefit, however, depends on the Company having income in future years.
Because the NOL has been completely utilized and the Company is now consistently recording profits, a DTA with the associated payable should have been recorded in 2018. DTAs represent future income tax benefits. But the tax benefits will be realized only if there is sufficient taxable income from which the deductible amount can be deducted.
Impact of the Restatement
As a result of the restatement, reported net income from continuing operations was decreased by $173,209, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
As a result of the restatement, reported net income from continuing operations was increased by $1,097,850, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Total assets increased by $1,380,251 at June 30, 2018. Current and total liabilities increased by $282,401 at June 30, 2018. Accumulated deficit decreased by $1,097,850 at June 30, 2018.
The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A have been restated to reflect the adjustments described. The table below summarizes the effects of the restatement on Libsyn’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operation for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and, Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018.

On April 24, 2019, Camac Fund, LP, and its affiliates Camac Partners, LLC, Camac Capital, LLC, and Eric Shahinian, (collectively, “Camac”) made a demand to inspect the Company’s books and records, purportedly in connection with Camac’s efforts to compel the Company to call a special meeting of its stockholders. On May 8, 2019, the Company provided the materials required by relevant Nevada law. On July 15, 2019, Camac filed a verified complaint and alternative petition for a writ of mandamus/prohibition in Nevada District Court together with a motion for preliminary injunction, seeking to compel the Company to provide certain additional documents relating to the identity of beneficial owners of its common stock. The Company filed a response brief to the motion for preliminary injunction and a hearing was held on such motion on August 1. The Court’s decision denied the issuance of an injunction obligating the Company to generate or obtain those additional documents, but requires the Company to turn over any such documents should the Company use those documents in the future to engage in solicitation activity in connection with any special meeting of stockholders that may be held involving Camac.

On October 4, 2019, the Company reached a resolution with Camac. The settlement agreement provides for, among other things, the Company reimbursing Camac for up to $600,000 in out-of-pocket expenses and the cancellation of certain equity awards by the Company.
Immediately following the execution of the settlement agreement, the Company shall take all action necessary to irrevocably cancel those equity awards previously granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer representing an aggregate of 300,000 restricted shares (150,000 held by each of them), the vesting conditions with respect to which relate to the achievement of a Nasdaq uplisting. Promptly following such cancellation, the Company shall provide to the Stockholders evidence from its transfer agent regarding the return of such shares and their cancellation by the Company. The Company will obtain appropriate written confirmations from the affected individuals regarding such cancellation.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), which we refer to as disclosure controls, are controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are met. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
 
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2018, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the design and operation of these disclosure controls were not effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.level due to the identification of errors which led to certain of our financial statements being restated. On an on-going basis we will evaluate the adequacy of our controls and procedures.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), occurred during the fiscal quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
Liberated Syndication Inc. is involved in routine legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. We have no material pending legal or administrative proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or of which any property is the subject, except as follows:
On April 24, 2019, Camac Fund, LP, and its affiliates Camac Partners, LLC, Camac Capital, LLC, and Eric Shahinian, (collectively, “Camac”) made a demand to inspect the Company’s books and records, purportedly in connection with such stockholder’s efforts to compel the Company to call a special meeting of its stockholders. On May 8, 2019, the Company provided the materials required by relevant Nevada law. On July 15, 2019, Camac filed a verified complaint and alternative petition for a writ of mandamus/prohibition in Nevada District Court together with a motion for preliminary injunction, seeking to compel the Company to provide certain additional documents relating to the identity of beneficial owners of its common stock. The Company filed a response brief to the motion for preliminary injunction and a hearing was held on such motion on August 1. The Court’s decision denied the issuance of an injunction obligating the Company to generate or obtain those additional documents, but requires the Company to turn over any such documents should the Company use those documents in the future to engage in solicitation activity in connection with any special meeting of stockholders that may be held involving Camac.
On October 4, 2019, the Company reached a resolution with Camac. The settlement agreement provides for, among other things, Libsyn reimbursing Camac for up to $600,000 in out-of-pocket expenses, the appointment of certain individuals identified by Camac to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), the formation of a strategic review committee of the Board and the cancellation of certain equity awards by the Company.
Immediately following the execution of the settlement agreement, the Company shall take all action necessary to irrevocably cancel those equity awards previously granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer representing an aggregate of 300,000 restricted shares (150,000 held by each of them), the vesting conditions with respect to which relate to the achievement of a Nasdaq uplisting. Promptly following such cancellation, the Company shall provide to the Stockholders evidence from its transfer agent regarding the return of such shares and their cancellation by the Company. The Company will obtain appropriate written confirmations from the affected individuals regarding such cancellation.
