FREECAST, INC.

           shares of common stock (par value, $0.0001)

 

This is our initial public offering of common stock. No public market currently exists for our common stock. We anticipate the initial public offering price will be between $           and $           per share.

 

We are selling            shares of common stock.

 

We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “FCST.“CAST. No assurance can be given that our application will be approved. If our common stock is not approved for listing on Nasdaq, we will not consummate this offering.

 

We expect to be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance standards because more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock following the completion of this offering will be held by Nextelligence, Inc., which is majority owned and controlled by our Chief Executive Officer. As a “controlled company,” we are permitted to, and will, elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards, including majority “independent director” requirements and certain requirements relating to independent compensation and nominating committees. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements for this prospectus and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission after this offering.

Market, Industry and Other Data

 

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations and market position, market opportunity and market share, is based on information from our own management estimates and research, as well as from industry and general publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties.

Our management estimates have not been verified by any independent source, and we have not independently verified any third-party information.

Our Company

 

We are an entertainment-based content discovery, aggregation and management company that provides SmartGuide® digital interactive technology for consumers to organize today’s numerous sources of online media similar to a traditional on-screen television, or TV, guide. Initially, we licensed our technology to Telebrands Corp., or Telebrands, who distributed membershipssubscriptions to consumers through retailers under the brand known as Rabbit TV from 2012 through 2016. In July 2016, we began offering our product directly to consumers under our own brand, SelectTV. At that time, membershipssubscriptions to SelectTV were strictly available for purchase and redemption online. In October 2019, we began selling membershipssubscriptions to SelectTV as a direct-to-consumer retail product in the form of a packaged “cord cutting kit” through TV Infomercials, utilizing a toll free phone number and ecommerce ordering system, with delivery of the product to consumers via the United States (U.S.) Postal Service. Sales and/or renewals that occurred after 2016 were predominantly a result of legacy Rabbit TV sales, in which we maintained and operated for that existing membership base.

 

We also distribute numerous licenses to retail, device manufacturers/distributors (mobile, tablets, set top boxes, “smart” TV’s, streaming equipment, gaming systems), as well as private labelinglabelling for hotel/hospitality, broadband carriers, telecommunications, and promotion companies.

 

Since our inception in 2011, we have sold nearly four million membershipssubscriptions including our current and legacy products. Sales that occurred during this period were predominately a result of legacy Rabbit TV sales, which was in line with our expectations, and declined over this time. During the same period, we operated as a “pre-revenue” growth company, and with investment debt, have been able to progress from our dependence on a single license with Telebrands for revenue to a multiple license model with many more retail options. We currently generate most of our revenue through subscription fees. Going forward, we intend to generate revenue through multiple avenues in addition to subscription fees, such as membership fees, licensing, advertising and reseller referral fees.

 

The following table showsAs Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus were no longer marketed directly to consumers, in 2021 we transitioned the numbersubscribers of active members atRabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus to SelectTV in order to eliminate the endcost associated with maintaining that independent platform that continued to lose subscriptions annually. As a result, our 436,028 subscribers as of each fiscal period presented in this prospectus. Active members are definedJune 30, 2021 represent all SelectTV subscribers including promotional subscribers, transitioned subscribers of Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus as current members who have accesswell as paid SelectTV subscribers. We will continue to report our platform via atotal subscriber base, as all subscribers, promotional or paid, subscription.

generate revenue through multiple avenues, such as licensing, advertising and reseller referral fees.

 

Immediately following a five-year exclusive Distribution Agreement we had with Telebrands that expired on December 31, 2017, we sought to redevelop our technology services from a single license to a multi-license platform. Over the next two years we experimented with a myriad of online marketing and sales programs yielding varied results. In late 2019, we ultimately settled on a retail solution, evolving the online SelectTV brand into a consumer-packaged cord"cord cutter kit," focusing on sales via TV Infomercials, mail delivery to consumerswhich we did in partnership with Mel Arthur and Kevin Harrington (of Home Shopping Network and Shark Tank, respectively). The TV Infomercials were also utilized as an awareness campaign and positioning for big box retailer distribution. We set the base price for the packaged kit at $19.95 plus shipping, which includes one year of service and optional upgrade years. This price point represents a typical TV Infomercial price point for consumers. The kits were delivered by mail to consumers.

 

The basis of our service platform is our proprietary content aggregation technology that automatically crawls the Internet to locate commercial-quality entertainment content from thousands of sources, including free, paid and subscription-based content. Additionally, we subscribe to the top entertainment data services such as Gracenote (owned by Nielson) and Guidebox/Reelgood whom provide real-time updates. Our technology then sorts through and manages all available commercial-quality digital media, including both live and on-demand video from free, subscription and pay-per-view (PPV) services. All of this information is then incorporated into our interactive SmartGuide presented to consumers in a familiar easy-to-use cable-like TV guide via the Internet and as a software application, on all Wi-Fi enabled devices.

 

Because we link subscribers directly to third-party content sources and in no way manipulate, store, retransmit or distribute this content, we are not subject to licensing fees or restrictions by third-party content suppliers. We are not responsible for the availability or content of these external websites, nor do we endorse, warrant or guarantee the products, services or information described or offered. All logos and trademarks used in the guide are the sole property of their respective owners. We believe that this is a complementary relationship in which we directly supply free traffic to content suppliers, much like the print-based model employed by TV Guide in past decades.

SmartGuide technology is currently available on computers, “smart” phones, tablets, streaming devices and “smart” TV’s. It is available directly to consumers, branded as SelectTV, and will also be distributed by third parties, both as SelectTV and under other licensed brand names and partnerships.

 

Additionally, SelectTV is being sold as a part of a cord-cutting kit via TV Infomercials done in partnership with Mel Arthur and Kevin Harrington (of Home Shopping Network and Shark Tank, respectively). Sales via 800-numbers and online affiliates will be followed by distribution through big box retailers.

Our strategy is to grow our SmartGuide membershipsubscription business domestically and globally via wholesale licensing agreements with: (i) manufacturers of “smart” TVs, mobile phones and streaming devices; (ii) bandwidth providers; (iii) hospitality locations; and (iv) online communities of users. We work constantly to improve the customer experience, with a focus on expanding the content catalogued by our technology, enhancing our user interface and extending our service to even more Internet-connected devices. Our growth strategy also includes offering our packaged “cord cutting kit”and newly named “Streaming TV Kit” through a third party's physical stores.

Relationship with Nextelligence, Inc.

 

On June 30, 2011, we entered into a Technology License and Development Agreement, which was amended and restated on October 19, 2012, and further amended on July 1, 2013 and amended and restated a second time on July 31, 2014, and effective as of July 1, 2014 (as amended, the “Technology Agreement”), with Nextelligence, Inc., or Nextelligence, which is majority owned and controlled by William A. Mobley, Jr., our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors. The Technology Agreement, which terminates on June 30, 2054, provides us with an exclusive 40-year license to a web-based application that installs in the end-user’s browser and any supported email functions or chat functions with search and certain other features (the “Technology”) from Nextelligence and for Nextelligence to provide all further development, improvement, modification, maintenance, management and enhancement services related to the Technology.

 

Controlled Company Status

 

Upon the completion of this offering, we expect that our common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq. We expect to be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance standards because more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock following the completion of this offering will be held by Nextelligence, Inc. A “controlled company” may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards, including the requirements that: (i) we have a majority of our board of directors consists of “independent directors,” as defined under Nasdaq rules; (ii) we have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and (iii) we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. Following this offering, in reliance upon the foregoing exemptions, a majority of our board of directors will not consist of independent directors, we will not have a nominating and corporate governance committee, and our compensation committee will not be composed entirely of independent directors. Further, the compensation committee will not have a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilitiesresponsibilities. We may use any of these exemptions for so long as we are a controlled company. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other companies that are not emerging growth companies. Accordingly, we have included detailed compensation information for only our three most highly compensated executive officers and have not included a compensation discussion and analysis (CD&A) of our executive compensation programs in this prospectus. In addition, for so long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to:

 

engage an auditor to report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes–Oxley Act;

 
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 
submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency,” and “say-on-golden parachutes;” or

 
disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparison of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which we have elected to take advantage of.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of:

 

our reporting $1$1.07 billion or more in annual gross revenues;

 
our issuance, in a three yearthree-year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt;

 
the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter; or

 
June 30, 2025.2027.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this report, whichprospectus before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. If any of these risks occur,affected. In that event, the tradingmarket price of our common stock could decline, and you maycould lose allpart or partall of your investment.

 

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

We may not be able to continue as a going concern without additional financing, and if such financing is not available to us or is not available to us on acceptable terms, we may be forced to cease operations.

 

We have a limited operating history and have incurred recurring losses from operations. As of March 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, we have an accumulated a deficit of $14,616,112,$22,416,519, and a stockholders’ deficit of $2,119,805.$3,119,614. For the nine monthsfiscal year ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, we incurred a net loss of $1,785,196$6,639,546 and $481,589, respectively, and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred net losses of $1,085,834 and $1,560,357,$2,946,057, respectively. Our failure to generate sufficient revenues, effectively manage expenses or raise additional capital could adversely affect our ability to achieve our intended business objectives. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

   

We funded our initial operations primarily through sales of common stock to accredited investors, debt financing, and exchange of common stock for services received by us. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct business. If we are not able to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to: (i) significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of SelectTV; (ii) seek collaborators for further development and commercialization of SelectTV; or (iii) relinquish or otherwise dispose of some or all of our rights to technologies or the products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize.

 

Our SmartGuide relies on a technology that we license from Nextelligence, and any interruption of our rights as a licensee could have a significant adverse impact on some major aspects of our business, such as product development, customer retention and sales.

 

Our SmartGuide has been built on technology developed by Nextelligence and used by us pursuant to the Technology Agreement. Nextelligence is principally owned and controlled by William A. Mobley, Jr., our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors. The Technology Agreement provides that Nextelligence is obligated to provide all further development, improvement, modification, maintenance, management and enhancement services related to the technology in exchange for certain payments to Nextelligence by us. The Technology Agreement may be terminated if, among other things, we breach the Technology Agreement, if we become insolvent or subject to the bankruptcy laws, or if there is a change of control (as defined in the Technology Agreement). If we were not able to use the technology for any reason, it could have a significant adverse impact on some major aspects of our business, such as product development, customer retention and sales.

 

If our efforts to attract and retain memberssubscribers are not successful, our business will be adversely affected.

 

We have experienced significant member decline over the past several years. As of June 30, 2018, we had 227,198 members, as of June 30, 2019, we had 126,803 members, which includes and accounts for a major fall-off of expiring former Rabbit TV users. Our ability going forward to attract membersand retain subscribers will depend in part on our ability to consistently provide our newly acquired members with newly launched SelectTV, with a more robust, valuable and quality experience for selecting and viewing TV shows, movies and channels and access to online radio stations. Furthermore, the relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and related features of competitors to our service may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain members.subscribers. If consumers do not perceive our service offering to be of value, or if we introduce new or adjust existing services that are not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract members.subscribers. In addition, many of our memberssubscribers are rejoiningre-joining our service or originate from word-of-mouth advertising from existing members.subscribers. Our attracting and retaining memberssubscribers may depend on our ability to: 

 

 offer a secure platform;

 provide tools and services that meet the evolving needs of consumers;

 provide a wide range of high-quality product and service offerings;

 enhance the attractiveness of our platform;

 maintain the quality of our customer service; and

 continue adapting to the changing demands of the market.

 


If our efforts to satisfy our existing memberssubscribers are not successful, we may not be able to attract new members,subscribers, and as a result, our ability to maintain or grow our business will be adversely affected. MembersSubscribers cancel their membershipsubscription to our service for many reasons, including a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, the need to cut household expenses, availability of content is limited, competitive services provide a better value or experience and customer service issues are not satisfactorily resolved. We must continually add new memberssubscribers both to replace memberssubscribers who cancel and to grow our business beyond our current membersubscriber base. If too many of our memberssubscribers cancel our service, or if we are unable to attract new memberssubscribers in numbers sufficient to grow our business, our operating results will be adversely affected. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors in both retaining our existing memberssubscribers and attracting new members,subscribers, our business will be adversely affected. Further, if excessive numbers of memberssubscribers cancel our service, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate in order to replace these memberssubscribers with new members.subscribers.

 

If we are not able to continue to innovate or if we fail to adapt to changes in our industry, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

 

The market for online video, radio and games is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, new service and product introductions and changing customer demands. Although we have developed new products and services in order to meet customer demands, new technologies and evolving business models for delivery of entertainment video continue to develop at a fast pace and we may not be able to keep up with all of the changes. Consumers are afforded various means for consuming online video, radio and games. The various economic models underlying these differing means of entertainment video delivery include subscription, pay-per-view, ad-supported and piracy-based models. Several competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. New entrants may enter the market with unique service offerings or approaches to distributing online video, radio and games and other companies also may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions. The changes and developments taking place in our industry may also require us to re-evaluate our business model and adopt significant changes to our long-term strategies and business plan. If we are unable to successfully or profitably compete with current and new competitors, programs and technologies, our business will be adversely affected, and we may not be able to increase or maintain market share, revenues or profitability.

 

We may not be able to maintain or grow our revenue or our business.

 

Since the beginning of fiscal year 2019, we have been focused on investing in and developing new technologies, which we anticipate will drive future growth and give us a sustainable revenue stream. In addition, we have transitioned to a “multi license” model from a ’single-license’ model. We believe that the new technology, coupled with our new sales and marketing strategy focused on our retail go-to-market strategy, will enable us to grow our revenue, as we are no longer limited by a single licensed vendor to sell our products. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell sufficient membershipssubscriptions to fund our operations in the future. In addition, our growth may become stagnant for many other reasons, including decreasing consumer spending, increasing competition, slowing growth of the consumption of online video, radio and games, changes in government policies or general economic conditions.

 

If we are not able to manage our growth, our business could be adversely affected.

 

We are currently engaged in an effort to grow our service by introducing online access renewal, developing new products, expanding internationally and to residents of rural areas. As we undertake all these changes, if we are not able to manage the growing complexity of our business, including improving, refining or revising our systems and operational practices, our business may be adversely affected.

 

If our efforts to build strong brand identity and improve membersubscriber satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, we may not be able to attract or retain members,subscribers, and our operating results may be adversely affected.

 

We must continue to build and maintain strong brand identity for our products and services, which have expanded over time. We believe that strong brand identity will be important in attracting members.subscribers. If our efforts to promote and maintain our existing brands and brands we develop in the future are not successful, our operating results and our ability to attract memberssubscribers may be adversely affected. From time to time, our memberssubscribers express dissatisfaction with our service, including, among other things, title availability, processing and service interruptions. To the extent dissatisfaction with our service is widespread or not adequately addressed, our brand may be adversely impacted and our ability to attract and retain memberssubscribers may be adversely affected. With respect to our planned international expansion, we will also need to establish our brand and to the extent we are not successful, our business in new markets would be adversely impacted.

 


If we are unable to manage the mix of membersubscriber acquisition sources, our membersubscriber levels and marketing expenses may be adversely affected.

 

We utilize a broad mix of marketing programs to promote our service to potential new members.subscribers. We obtain new memberssubscribers through our online marketing efforts, including paid search listings, banner ads, text links and permission-based e-mails. In addition, we have engaged in various offline marketing programs, including TV and radio advertising, direct mail and print campaigns, consumer package and mailing insertions. We maintain an active public relations program to increase awareness of our service and drive membersubscriber acquisition. We opportunistically adjust our mix of marketing programs to acquire new memberssubscribers at a reasonable cost with the intention of achieving overall financial goals. If we are unable to maintain or replace our sources of memberssubscribers with similarly effective sources, or if the cost of our existing sources increases, our membersubscriber levels and marketing expenses may be adversely affected.

 

If we are unable to continue using our current marketing channels, our ability to attract new memberssubscribers may be adversely affected.

 

We may not be able to continue to support the marketing of our service by current means if such activities are no longer available to us, become cost prohibitive or are adverse to our business. If companies that currently promote our service decide that we are negatively impacting their business, that they want to compete more directly with our business or enter a similar business or decide to exclusively support our competitors, we may no longer be given access to such marketing through them. In addition, if advertising rates increase, we may curtail marketing efforts or otherwise experience an increase in our marketing costs. Laws and regulations impose restrictions on the use of certain channels, including commercial e-mail and direct mail. We may limit or discontinue use or support of e-mail and other activities if we become concerned that memberssubscribers or potential memberssubscribers deem such activities intrusive, which could affect our goodwill or brand. If the available marketing channels are curtailed, our ability to attract new memberssubscribers may be adversely affected.

 

Although we do not distribute content through our service, if we are sued for content accessed through our service, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

Although we do not distribute content through our service, we face potential liability for negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement or other claims based on content accessed through our service. We also may face potential liability for content uploaded from our users in connection with our community-related content or reviews. If we become liable for such activities, then our business may suffer. Litigation to defend these claims could be costly and the expenses and damages arising from any liability could harm our results of operations. We cannot assure you that we are insured or indemnified to cover claims of these types or liability that may be imposed on us.

 

We rely upon a number of partners to offer our service.

 

We currently offer memberssubscribers the ability to easily navigate available sources of online video, radio and games and consume such media through their computers and other Internet-connected devices. If we are not successful in maintaining existing and creating new relationships with content providers, or if we encounter technological, content licensing or other impediments to our ability to organize content, our ability to grow our business could be adversely impacted. Furthermore, mobile devices and TV’s are manufactured and sold by entities other than FreeCast and while these entities should be responsible for the devices’ performance, the connection between these devices and FreeCast may nonetheless result in consumer dissatisfaction toward FreeCast and such dissatisfaction could result in claims against us or otherwise adversely impact our business.

 


Any significant disruption in our computer systems or those of third-parties that we utilize in our operations could result in a loss or degradation of service and could adversely impact our business.

 

MembersSubscribers and potential memberssubscribers access our service through our Web site or their TVs, computers, game consoles, or streaming or mobile devices. Our reputation and ability to attract, retain and serve our members issubscribers are dependent upon the reliable performance of our computer systems and those of third-parties that we utilize in our operations. Interruptions in these systems, or with the Internet in general, including discriminatory network management practices, could make our service unavailable or degraded. Much of our software is proprietary, and we rely on the expertise of our engineering and software development teams for the continued performance of our software and computer systems. Service interruptions, errors in our software or the unavailability of computer systems used in our operations could diminish the overall attractiveness of our service to existing and potential customers.

 

Our servers and those of third-parties we use in our operations are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions and delays in our service and operations as well as loss, misuse or theft of data. Our Web site periodically experiences directed attacks intended to cause a disruption in service. Any attempts by hackers to disrupt our service or our internal systems, if successful, could harm our business, be expensive to remedy and damage our reputation. Our insurance does not cover expenses related to attacks on our Web site or internal systems. Efforts to prevent hackers from entering our computer systems are expensive to implement and may limit the functionality of our services. Any significant disruption to our service or internal computer systems could result in a loss of memberssubscribers and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

We utilize our own communications and computer hardware systems located either in our facilities or in that of a third-party Web hosting provider. In addition, we utilize third-party Internet-based or “cloud” computing services in connection with our business operations. Problems faced by our third-party Web hosting or cloud computing providers, including technological or business-related disruptions, could adversely impact the experience of our members.subscribers. In addition, fires, floods, earthquakes, power losses, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events could damage these systems and hardware or cause them to fail completely. As we do not maintain entirely redundant systems, a disrupting event could result in prolonged downtime of our operations and could adversely affect our business.

 

We rely upon third parties to host certain aspects of our service and any disruption of, or interference with, our use of such third partythird-party services would impact our operations and our business would be adversely impacted.

 

We make use of a number of services provided by third parties, including distributed computing infrastructure platform for business operations, or what is commonly referred to as a cloud computing service. We have architected our software and computer systems so as to utilize data processing, storage capabilities and other services provided by such third parties. Given this, along with the fact that we cannot easily switch our operations to other providers, any disruption of or interference with our use of current service providers would impact our operations and our business would be adversely impacted.

 

We rely heavily on our proprietary technology to locate and organize online video, radio and games and to manage other aspects of our operations, and the failure of this technology to operate effectively could adversely affect our business.

 

We continually enhance or modify the technology used for our operations. We cannot be sure that any enhancements or other modifications we make to our operations will achieve the intended results or otherwise be of value to our members.subscribers. Future enhancements and modifications to our technology could consume considerable resources. If we are unable to maintain and enhance our technology, our ability to retain existing memberssubscribers and to add new memberssubscribers may be impaired. In addition, if our technology or that of third-parties we utilize in our operations fails or otherwise operates improperly, our ability to retain existing memberssubscribers and to add new memberssubscribers may be impaired. Also, any harm to our members’subscribers’ personal computers or other devices caused by software used in our operations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Privacy concerns could limit our ability to leverage our membersubscriber data and our disclosure of or unauthorized access to membersubscriber data could adversely impact our business and reputation.

 

In the ordinary course of business and, in particular, in connection with merchandising our service to our members,subscribers, we collect and utilize data supplied by our members.subscribers. We currently face certain legal obligations regarding the manner in which we treat such information. Other businesses have been criticized by privacy groups and governmental bodies for attempts to link personal identities and other information to data collected on the Internet regarding users’ browsing and other habits. Increased regulation of data utilization practices, including self-regulation or findings under existing laws, that limit our ability to use collected data, could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, if unauthorized access to our membersubscriber data were to occur or if we were to disclose data about our memberssubscribers in a manner that was objectionable to them, our business reputation could be adversely affected, and we could face potential legal claims that could impact our operating results.

 

8

 

 

Our reputation and relationships with memberssubscribers would be harmed if our membersubscriber data, particularly billing data, were to be accessed by unauthorized persons.

 

We maintain personal data regarding our members,subscribers, including names and, in many cases, mailing addresses. With respect to billing data, such as credit card numbers, we rely on licensed encryption and authentication technology to secure such information. We take measures to protect against unauthorized intrusion into our members’subscribers’ data. If, despite these measures, we, or our payment processing services, experience any unauthorized intrusion into our members’subscribers’ data, current and potential memberssubscribers may become unwilling to provide the information to us necessary for them to become members,subscribers, we could face legal claims, and our business could be adversely affected. Similarly, if a well-publicized breach of the consumer data security of any other major consumer Web site were to occur, there could be a general public loss of confidence in the use of the Internet for commerce transactions which could adversely affect our business.

 

In addition, we do not obtain signatures from memberssubscribers in connection with the use of credit cards by them. Under current credit card practices, to the extent we do not obtain cardholders’ signatures, we are liable for fraudulent credit card transactions, even when the associated financial institution approves payment of the orders. From time to time, fraudulent credit cards are used on our Web site to obtain service. Typically, these credit cards have not been registered as stolen and are therefore not rejected by our automatic authorization safeguards. While we do have a number of other safeguards in place, we nonetheless experience some loss from these fraudulent transactions. We do not currently carry insurance against the risk of fraudulent credit card transactions. A failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions would harm our business and results of operations.

 

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights.

 

We rely on a combination of trademark, fair trade practice, patent, copyright and trade secret protection laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property rights. We also enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and any third parties who may access our proprietary information, and we rigorously control access to our proprietary technology and information.

 

Intellectual property protection may not be sufficient and confidentiality agreements may be breached by counterparties, and there may not be adequate remedies available to us for any such breach. Accordingly, we may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights or to enforce our contractual rights, including our rights under the Technology Agreement with Nextelligence. In addition, policing any unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult, time-consuming and costly and the steps we have taken may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property. In the event that we resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, such litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our managerial and financial resources. We can provide no assurance that we would prevail in such litigation. In addition, our trade secrets may be leaked or otherwise become available to, or be independently discovered by, our competitors. Any failure in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Intellectual property claims against us could be costly and result in the loss of significant rights related to, among other things, our Web site, technology, title selection processes and marketing activities.

 

Trademark, copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights are important to us. Our intellectual property rights extend to our technology, business processes and the content on our Web site. We use the intellectual property of third-parties in merchandising our products and marketing our service through contractual and other rights. From time to time, third-parties allege that we have violated their intellectual property rights. If we are unable to obtain sufficient rights, successfully defend our use, or develop non-infringing technology or otherwise alter our business practices on a timely basis in response to claims against us for infringement, misappropriation, misuse or other violation of third-party intellectual property rights, our business and competitive position may be adversely affected. Many companies are devoting significant resources to developing patents that could potentially affect many aspects of our business. There are numerous patents that broadly claim means and methods of conducting business on the Internet. We have not searched patents relative to our technology. Defending ourselves against intellectual property claims, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in our favor, results in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel. It also may result in our inability to use our current Web site and technology, or our inability to market our service or merchandise our products. As a result of a dispute, we may have to develop non-infringing technology, enter into royalty or licensing agreements, adjust our merchandising or marketing activities or take other actions to resolve the claims. These actions, if required, may be costly or unavailable on terms acceptable to us.

If we are unable to protect our domain names, our reputation and brand could be adversely affected.

 

We currently hold various domain names relating to our brand, including freecast.com. Failure to protect our domain names could adversely affect our reputation and brand and make it more difficult for users to find our Web site and our service. The acquisition and maintenance of domain names generally are regulated by governmental agencies and their designees. The regulation of domain names in the United States may change in the near future. Governing bodies may establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we may be unable to acquire or maintain relevant domain names. Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable, without significant cost or at all, to prevent third-parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights.

 

We depend on key management as well as experienced and capable personnel generally, and any failure to attract, motivate and retain our staff could severely hinder our ability to maintain and grow our business.

 

We rely on the continued service of our senior management, including our founder and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, William A. Mobley, Jr., other members of our executive team and other key employees to develop our products, services and solutions. In our industry, there is substantial and continuous competition for highly skilled business, product development, technical and other personnel. As a result, our human resources organization focuses significant efforts on attracting and retaining individuals in key technology positions. If we lose the services of any member of management or key personnel, and are unable to attract or locate suitable or qualified replacements, or otherwise hire talented personnel, we may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new staff, making it more difficult to meet our business objectives, which could severely disrupt our business and growth.

 

We cannot be assured we can obtain or retain third-party contractors for our specific services or development needs, which could disrupt our business operations or growth.

 

If we experience a substantial loss of, or an inability to attract, talented personnel, we may experience difficulty in meeting our business objectives.

 

Our brand name and our business may be harmed by aggressive marketing and communications strategies of our competitors.

 

Due to competition in our industry, we have been and may be the target of incomplete, inaccurate and false statements about our company and our services that could damage our and our management’s reputation and our brand and materially deter consumers from using our service. Our brand name and our business may be harmed if we are unable to promptly respond to our competitors’ misleading marketing efforts.

 

Risks Related to our Industry

 

Changes in consumer viewing habits, including more widespread usage of demand methods of entertainment video consumption could adversely affect our business.

 

The manner in which consumers seek entertainment online is changing rapidly. Digital cable, wireless and Internet content providers are continuing to improve technologies, content offerings, user interfaces and business models that allow consumers to access entertainment video-on-demand with interactive capabilities. The devices through which online video, radio and games can be consumed are also changing rapidly. For example, content from cable service providers may be viewed on laptops and mobile devices and content from Internet content providers may be viewed on TVs. If competitors providing similar services address the changes in consumer habits in a manner that is better able to meet content distributor and consumer needs and expectations, our business could be adversely affected.

Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet at non-discriminatory prices, and Internet access providers and Internet backbone providers may be able to block, limit, degrade or charge for access to certain of our products and services, which could lead to additional expenses and the loss of users.

 

Our products and services depend on the ability of our customers’ viewers to access the Internet, and certain of our customers’ products require significant bandwidth to work effectively. Currently, this access is provided by companies that have significant and increasing market power in the broadband and Internet access marketplace, including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies and mobile communications companies. Some of these providers have stated that they may take measures that could degrade, disrupt or increase the cost of user access by restricting or prohibiting the use of their infrastructure to support or facilitate offerings, or by charging increased fees to provide offerings, while others, including some of the largest providers of broadband Internet access services, have committed to not engaging in such behavior.

 

The ability of the FCC to regulate broadband Internet access services was called into question by an April 2010 ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The FCC then proposed rules regulating broadband Internet access, but on January 14, 2014, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the net neutrality rules adopted by the FCC, determining that the FCC did not have the authority to issue or enforce net neutrality rules, as it had failed to identify certain service providers as “common carriers.” On February 26, 2015, the FCC approved a new rule that reclassifies broadband Internet access service as a telecommunication service and regulates broadband Internet access as a public utility (Title II Order). In 2016, a divided panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Title II Order, concluding that the FCC’s classification of broadband Internet access service was permissible. However, under President Donald Trump’s administration, the FCC reversed course and in December 2017 adopted a new rule referred to as the Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which went into effect on June 11, 2018. The Restoring Internet Freedom Order (RIFO): (i) reinstated the information service classification of broadband Internet access service; (ii) reinstated the determination that mobile broadband Internet access service is not a commercial mobile service; and (iii) eliminated the Internet conduct standard and the non-exhaustive list of factors intended to guide application of that rule. On October 1, 2019, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld most provisions of the RIFO. One aspect of the RIFO that the court did not uphold relates to the FCC’s assertion that it could pre-empt state-level actions involving Net Neutrality and the Open Internet. More than 30 states have introduced bills to add their own net neutrality protections. The U.S. House of Representatives on April 10, 2019 passed a bill, called the Save the Internet Act, requiring internet service providers to treat all online content the same.

 

Unless either the Court overturns or Congress passes legislation that supersedes the FCC’s new rule, it is possible that broadband service providers could impose restrictions on bandwidth and service delivery that may adversely impact our download speeds or ability to deliver content over those facilities, or impose significant end user or other fees that could impact the cost of our services to end users, or our delivery costs. If no action is taken by the Court or Congress, current and future actions by broadband Internet access providers may also result in limitations on access to our services, a loss of existing users, or increased costs to us, our users or our customers, thereby impairing our ability to attract new users, or limiting our opportunities and models for revenue and growth.

 

Changes in how network operators handle and charge for access to data that travel across their networks could adversely impact our business.

 

We rely upon the ability of consumers to access our service through the Internet. To the extent that network operators implement usage basedusage-based pricing, including meaningful bandwidth caps, or otherwise try to monetize access to their networks by data providers, we could incur greater operating expenses and our membersubscriber acquisition and retention could be negatively impacted.

 

Most network operators that provide consumers with access to the Internet also provide these consumers with multichannel video programming. As such, companies like Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Cablevision have an incentive to use their network infrastructure in a manner adverse to our continued growth and success. While we believe that consumer demand, regulatory oversight and competition will help limit these incentives, to the extent that network operators are able to provide preferential treatment to their data as opposed to ours, our industry and business could be negatively impacted.

Risks Related to the Offering

 

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop, which may cause our common stock to trade at a discount from the initial offering price and make it difficult for you to sell the shares you purchase.

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public trading market for our common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development or maintenance of an active trading market. The initial public offering price per share of our common stock has been determined by agreement among us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of the price at which our common stock will trade in the public trading market after this offering. If an active trading market does not develop, there may be difficulty selling any shares of our common stock.

 

The offering price of our common stock may not be indicative of future market prices of our common stock.

 

The offering price of the shares of our common stock has been arbitrarily determined by us and should not be considered an objective indication of our actual value, as it bears no relationship to our assets, earnings, book value or any other objective financial statement criteria of value.

 

Our management will have considerable discretion as to the use of the net proceeds to be received by us from this offering, and such use may not improve our financial results or increase the trading price of our common stock.

 

We have not allocated a significant portion of the net proceeds to be received by us in this offering to any particular purpose, and our use of such proceeds will be based on our current growth strategies and business conditions. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds received by us. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether proceeds are being used appropriately. You must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our efforts to maintain profitability or increase the trading price of our common stock. The net proceeds from this offering, pending investment in operating assets or businesses, may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

 

After this offering, William A. Mobley, Jr., our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, individually and through Nextelligence, Inc., which is majority owned and controlled by him, will own or control in excess of      % of our outstanding common stock.

 

After this offering, William A. Mobley, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, individually and through Nextelligence, Inc., which is majority owned and controlled by him, will own or control in excess of       % of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Mobley is able to exercise significant influence over our company, including, but not limited to, any shareholder approvals for the election of our directors and, indirectly, the selection of our senior management, the amount of dividend payments, if any, our annual budget, increases or decreases in our share capital, new securities issuance, mergers and acquisitions and any amendments to our amended and restated articles of incorporation. Furthermore, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change of control or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which could decrease the market price of our shares.

 

Following this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as such term is defined in the rules of Nasdaq, and, therefore, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

 

Upon the completion of this offering, we expect that our common stock will be listed on Nasdaq. We expect to be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance standards because more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock following the completion of this offering will be held by Nextelligence, Inc. A “controlled company” may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards, including the requirements that: (i) we have a majority of our board of directors consists of “independent directors,” as defined under Nasdaq rules; (ii) we have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and (iii) we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. Following this offering, in reliance upon the foregoing exemptions, a majority of our board of directors will not consist of independent directors, we will not have a nominating and corporate governance committee, and our compensation committee will not be composed entirely of independent directors. Further, the compensation committee will not have a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. We may use any of these exemptions for so long as we are a controlled company. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

 

12

 

 

The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

 

Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as the factors listed below, some of which are beyond our control, could affect the market price of our common stock:

 

 our failure to achieve actual operating results that meet or exceed guidance that we may have provided due to factors beyond our control, such as currency volatility and trading volumes;

 

 future announcements concerning us or our competitors, including the announcement of acquisitions;

 

 changes in government regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals or licensure;

 

 public perceptions of risks associated with our services or operations;

 

 developments in our industry; and

 

 general economic, market and political conditions and other factors that may be unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.

 

If you purchase common stock sold in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

Based upon our unauditedaudited financial statements at March 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, if you purchase common stock sold in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $      per share based on an offering price of $     , because the price that you pay per share will be greater than the net tangible book value per share. Our existing shareholders will experience an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $     per share. In addition, you may face additional dilution if we issue additional securities in the future to finance our operations.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, or if we fail to achieve analysts’ earnings estimates, the market price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock may be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us or our industry make unfavorable comments about our market opportunity or business, the market price of our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the market price of our common stock or trading volume to decline. In addition, if we fail to achieve analysts’ earnings estimates, the market price of our common stock would also likely decline.

 

If we are unable to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, Nasdaq will delist our common stock.

 

Upon the consummation of this offering, our common stock will be listed on Nasdaq. In the future, if we are not able to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, we could be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. A delisting of our common stock and our inability to list on another national securities exchange could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing us from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

 

Because we do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors in the offering will benefit from their investment in shares only if our common stock appreciates in value.

 

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the operation and growth of our business and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. Our common stock may not appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which investors in this offering have purchased their shares.

 

13

 

 

We cannot predict our future capital needs. As a result, we may need to raise significant amounts of additional capital. We may be unable to obtain the necessary capital when we need it, or on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Our business depends on the availability of adequate funding and regulatory capital under applicable regulatory requirements.access to capital. We currently anticipate that our available cash resources will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We may need to raise additional funds to:

 

 support more rapid expansion;

 

 develop new or enhanced services and products;

 

 respond to competitive pressures;

 

 acquire complementary businesses, products or technologies; or

 

 respond to unanticipated requirements.

 

Additional financing may not be available when needed on terms favorable to us.

 

For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy and information statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and of shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because we intend to take advantage of these exemptions, some investors may find our common stock less attractive, which may result in a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

We could remain an “emerging growth company” until June 30, 20252027 or, if earlier: (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion; (ii) if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of any fiscal year, the last day of such fiscal year; or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the preceding three-year period. If we are still a smaller reporting company (a company with a public float of less than $75 million) after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may be able to make use of some of the same exemptions (such as the exemption to the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act) as were available to us when we qualified as an emerging growth company.

 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.

 

We are not currently required to comply with Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC’s, rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, which will require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of controls over financial reporting. Although we will be required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC. However, as an “emerging growth company,” our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.

 


14 

In addition, to comply with the requirements of being a public company, we may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff. Testing and maintaining internal control can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. In addition, when evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

 

In the past, we have had weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Although we are not yet required to assess our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there have been, in the past, weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, relating to our failure to receive documentation prior to paying certain invoices. As is the case with many companies of our size: (i) we did not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures; (ii) we did not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions; (iii) we did not have adequate staff and supervision within our accounting function; and (iv) we lacked a sufficient process for periodic financial reporting, including timely preparation and review of financial reports and statements. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that such weaknesses have been substantially remediated through, among other things, our hiring of the CFO Squad, LLC in December 2018 as a technical accounting expert in financial reporting and controlling function in accordance with the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

 

Shareholders may be diluted by the future issuance of additional common stock in connection with acquisitions or otherwise.

 

After this offering, we will have approximately            shares of common stock authorized but unissued, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorizes us to issue these shares of common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our board of directors in its sole discretion, whether in connection with acquisitions, in future common stock offerings or otherwise. Any common stock that we issue after this offering will dilute the percentage ownership held by the investors who purchase common stock in this offering.

 

Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our common stock in the public market could cause the price of our common stock to decline significantly.

 

Sales of our common stock or other equity securities in the public market after this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. Upon completion of this offering, we will have             shares of common stock outstanding, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares, of which             shares of our common stock, representing      % of our outstanding common stock immediately after this offering, will not be subject to lock-up agreements. All shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. The common stock outstanding after this offering will be available for sale, upon the expiration of the lock-up periods described elsewhere in this prospectus beginning from the date of this prospectus (if applicable to such holder), subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable under Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act. Any or all of these shares may be released prior to the expiration of the applicable lock-up period at the discretion of one of the designated representatives. To the extent shares are released before the expiration of the applicable lock-up period and sold into the market, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

 

Certain holders of our common stock will have the right to cause us to register under the Securities Act the sale of their shares, subject to the applicable lock-up periods in connection with this offering. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in such shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration. Sales of these registered shares in the public market could cause the price of our common stock to decline significantly.

 

15

 

 

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our articles of incorporation and bylaws could impair a takeover attempt.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:

classifying our board of directors into three classes;

authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend, and other rights superior to our common stock;

limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

limiting the ability of our shareholders to call and bring business before special meetings;

requiring advance notice of shareholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our shareholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors; and

controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and shareholder meetings.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

Any provision of our articles of incorporation or bylaws that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may in the future continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions, quarantines, and related public health measures and actions taken by governments and the private sector have adversely affected global economies, financial markets and the overall environment for our business, and the extent to which it may continue to impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain. The first Delta variant case was identified in December 2020, and the variant soon became the predominant strain of the virus and by the end of July 2021, the Delta variant was the cause of more than 80% of new U.S. COVID-19 cases. As a result, new restrictions are being contemplated and implemented by workforces and federal, state and local government officials. The global macroeconomic effects of the pandemic may persist for an indefinite period of time, even after the pandemic has subsided. In addition, we cannot predict the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will have on our brand partners, third-party vendors and service providers, and we may continue to be materially adversely impacted as a result of the negative past, present and future impact upon our brand partners, third-party vendors and service providers.

16 

The COVID-19 pandemic has materially adversely affected our fiscal year 2020 operating and financial results due to the occurrence of the following events or circumstances, among others:

the global shelter-in-place restrictions significantly reduced our number of subscribers and engagement with all of our offerings because of the decrease in special events, social gatherings and interactions outside the home;
social distancing guidelines and worldwide store closures forced us to postpone expanding our retail package offering into physical stores;
manufacturing facility closures in Asia during the pandemic eliminated our ability to source HDTV Antennas from our China sources, which were bundled in our retail package offering. This forced us to recreate our retail package offering without the HD TV Antenna, including all marketing/advertising messages, packaging designs/models, in-store displays, websites, social media, and retail buyer demonstrations;
subscribers engaged less, which impacted the success of our organic marketing and reduced the volume of our data and business insights;
disruptions of the operations of our partners and delays in shipment and delivery of our products;
pausing our paid marketing spend and eliminating or significantly reducing investments in growth initiatives;
carrying more products relative to customer demand, negatively impacting gross margins.

As the recovery period continues, particularly in the United States, and shelter-in-place orders and travel advisories are lifted, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the identification and spread of new variants of the virus, such as the Delta variant, may continue to have a negative impact on our business operations and long-term financial results of operations due to the occurrence of the following events or circumstances, among others:

the difficulty in accurately predicting the timing and pace of our business recovery, particularly increased demand, subscriber levels, leading to potentially over-spending and lower profitability if recovery is not as strong as or when we expected;
our inability to meet increased demand and provide an optimal customer experience as a result of difficulty in hiring additional employees, particularly in our fulfillment, operations and customer experience functions;
continuing disruptions of the operations of our reseller partners, which could impact our ability to deliver our produce in a timely manner to match demand;
our ability to efficiently re-start our paid marketing efforts; and
possible resurgences of the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of new variants of the virus, such as the Delta variant, or otherwise, that lead to new or additional shelter-in-place orders and/or travel advisories, which may dampen future demand for our products and offering.

The continued scope and duration of the pandemic, whether additional actions may be taken to contain the virus, the impact on our customers and partners, the speed and extent to which markets fully recover from the disruptions caused by the pandemic, and the impact of these factors on our business, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. In addition, to the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our operations and global economic conditions more generally, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in these Risk Factors.

17 

Although we anticipate that our operating results in future fiscal years will begin to reflect a more normal operating environment, the current economic and public health climate has created a high degree of uncertainty and there is no assurance that our scale, number of customers and revenue will return to or surpass pre-pandemic levels for a sustained period of time. As such, we continue to closely monitor this global health crisis and will continue to reassess our strategy and operational structure on a regular, ongoing basis as the situation evolves.

We will incur significantly increased costs as a result of and devote substantial management time to operating as a public company.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. For example, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will be required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls, changes in corporate governance practices and required filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. These requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, our management and other personnel will need to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. We will also need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and will need to establish an internal audit function. We also expect that operating as a public company will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. This could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers. In addition, after we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the JOBS ACT we expect to incur additional management time and cost to comply with the more stringent reporting requirements applicable to companies that are deemed accelerated filers or large accelerated filers, including complying with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are just beginning the process of compiling the system and processing documentation needed to comply with such requirements. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. In that regard, we currently do not have an internal audit function, and we will need to hire or contract for additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge.

We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of becoming a public company or the timing of such costs.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference herein that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology..

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $      million, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $      per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares, we estimate that we will receive an additional $      million in net proceeds.

 

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price would increase or decrease, as applicable, the net proceeds to us by approximately $         million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. Each increase or decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares offered by us would increase or decrease, as applicable, the net proceeds to us by approximately $         million, assuming that the assumed initial public offering price, as set forth on the cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. If the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will be approximately $         million. 

 

Although we have not yet determined with any certainty the manner in which we will allocate these net proceeds, we currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering primarily to increase our sales and marketing efforts and expand our geographical presence. By hiring additional sales, marketing and technical personnel, we expect to accelerate our growth and take advantage of the momentum that we believe currently exists in the market for services like ours. We also intend to build out our infrastructure to handle the anticipated growth in our membershipsubscription base and our product offerings.

 

Our management will retain broad discretion in the allocation and use of the net proceeds from this offering. The amounts and timing of these expenditures will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated by our operations, competitive and technological developments, and the rate of growth, if any, of our business. For example, if we were to expand our operations more rapidly than anticipated by our current plans, a greater portion of the proceeds would likely be used for the construction and expansion of facilities, working capital and other capital expenditures. Alternatively, if we were to engage in an acquisition that contained a significant cash component, some or all of the proceeds might be used for that purpose.

 

Pending specific utilization of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds of the offering in short-term investment grade and U.S. government securities.

 

1720 

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends after the offering or for the foreseeable future. We expect to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, the terms of our credit facilities contain restrictions on our ability to declare and pay cash dividends on our capital stock.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share you will pay in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our pro formahistorical net tangible book value as of March 31, 2020June 30, 2021 was $ ,(3.9) million or $ (0.11) per share of common stock. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share set forth below represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on March 31, 2020.June 30, 2021.

The pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2021 was $ (1.7) million or $ (0.05) per share of common stock. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding Common Stock, after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments referenced under “Capitalization.”

 

After giving effect to our issuance and sale of              shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $       per share, the mid-point of the estimated price range shown on the cover of this prospectus, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and offering expenses payable by us, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2020June 30, 2021 would have been $             or $      per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value to existing shareholders of $      per share. The initial public offering price per share will significantly exceed the net tangible book value per share. Accordingly, new investors who purchase shares of common stock in this offering will suffer an immediate dilution of their investment of $___ per share. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to the new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering without giving effect to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters:

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $$**** per share would increase (decrease) the pro forma net tangible book value by $                million, the pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering by $      per share and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to investors in this offering by $      per share, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by us.

 

Similarly, a 1.0 million increase or decrease in the number of shares of our common stock offered by us would increase or decrease our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $         per share and the dilution per share to investors in this offering by $         per share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock would be $         per share, and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to investors purchasing shares in this offering would be $         per share.

 

23 

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the pro forma net tangible book value will increase to $      per share, representing an immediate increase to existing shareholders of $      per share and an immediate dilution of $      per share to new investors. If any shares are issued in connection with outstanding options, you will experience further dilution.

 

The tables above assume no exercise of warrants to purchase, or conversion of debt into, shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2020.June 30, 2021. At March 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, there were 24,902,07224,328,463 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $0.88$0.53 per share, 4,775,7641,792,176 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, of which none have vested and are exercisable as of June 30, 2021, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.00 per share and 8,423,968 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding convertible debt at a conversion price of $0.25 per share and 258,850 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding convertible debt at a conversion price of $0.60 per share.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.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 prospectus, particularly in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

 

Overview

 

Revenue for the nine monthsfiscal year ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2021 increased by 173%14.14%, or $378,209,$85,797, to $579,408,$692,604, as compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2019, and the net loss increased by 271%, or $1,303,607 to $1,785,196.

Revenue$606,807 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 decreased by 74%, or $763,652, to $269,791, as compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018,2020, while our net loss decreasedincreased by 30%125.4%, or $474,523,$3,693,489, to $1.085 million.

The Telebrands “single license” agreement ended on December 31, 2017, opening up the opportunity to raise additional capital for rebuilding our new “multi-license” product platform. Whereby following a two-year technology platform upgrade enabled FreeCast in late 2019 to begin to distribute numerous licenses to retail, device manufacturers/distributors (mobile, tablets, set top boxes, “smart” TV, streaming equipment, gaming systems), including private labeled models for hotel/hospitality, broadband carriers, telecommunications, and promotion companies.$6,639,546.

 

We see opportunities for growth in international sales, free-trial pre-loads in manufactured streaming devices, including mobile devices, smart TV's, media set top boxes/sticks and laptops, and introducing SelectTV into the in-home market. Additionally, we see bulk licensing growth opportunities in commercial MDU (multi dwelling units) such as apartments, condominiums, student housing, planned communities, and the hospitality sector (hotels, short stay).

However, we can only take advantage of these opportunities if we have sufficient capital to do so, are able to recruit the necessary staff, and are able to expand our current infrastructure. We may also face additional challenges from new competitors that may be able to launch new businesses at relatively low cost, with consumers easily being able to shift spending from one provider to another. In order to combat this, we must continue to deliver a product that is more advanced than that of competitors.

 

The recent outbreak ofIn December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originatedsurfaced in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has sincesubsequently spread throughout the world, including all 50 U.S. states.world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is affectingaffected the United States and global economies, and has forced us to reduce our on-site staff in compliance with Florida Governor’s Executive Order 20-91, which placesplaced restrictions on the movement of all Florida citizens. The Order took effect April 3 and was supposed to last until April 30. On April 29, the Order was extended indefinitely and revised to allow people to resume certain activities outside of the home beginning May 4, 2020 subject to certain prescribed social distancing and other guidelines. We are continuingcontinued operations via online workspace software, and with essential on-site shipping personnel to process current sales generated from our TV Infomercials.

 

Disruptions caused by COVID-19 and measures taken to prevent its spread or mitigate its effects both domestically and internationally have impacted our operating results. Since the date the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic, we have had a slight increase in the number of membershipssubscriptions sold, as well as a corresponding decrease in revenue per membershipsubscription sold or renewed. We believe the increase in the number of memberssubscribers is a result of our increase in TV-based advertising sincebeginning in March 11,2020 through October 2020, without increasing our overall advertising expenditures, due to our ability to acquire additional media spots at a reduced rate. We also believe the decrease in revenue per membershipsubscription sold or renewed is related to the pandemic and governmental responses to the pandemic resulting in a slowdown of global economic activity, which has significantly impacted most consumers.consumers spending habits.

So far, only one componenttwo components of our growth strategy has alsohave been most impacted by COVID-19. We have postponedhad to postpone expanding our retail package offering into physical stores due to current social distancing guidelines and worldwide store closures. TheRetail big box buyers commenced with product review and ordering in June 2021 once stores had reopened.

Secondly, Asian manufacturing facility closures during the pandemic has not had an impact oneliminated our ability to implementsource HDTV Antennas from our other growth strategies.China sources, which were bundled in our retail package offering. This forced us to completely re-create our retail package offering without the HD TV Antenna, including all marketing/advertising messages, packaging designs/models, in-store displays, websites, social media, and retail buyer demonstrations. By eliminating the HD TV Antenna from the retail package offering, we were able to locate new production and manufacturing of the retail package offering in the USA. This eliminated our reliance on foreign supply and concerns over maritime shipping backlogs. We can now service and reach USA retailer locations faster.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the capital markets, and, in certain cases, restricted the ability of companiesAlthough to access the capital markets and other sources of financing. Our ability to obtain additional financing that we may choose to, or need to, obtain could be more difficult and/or expensive, and we may not be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. However, we believe that our cash on hand, the cash we expect to generate from our operations and cash from financing sources available to us are, and will continue to be, sufficient to meet our ongoing operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2020,date, we have a cash balancesuccessfully navigated the impacts of approximately $975,000. Since December 31, 2019, our sales have increased more than our expenses thereby lowering our average monthly cash deficit from approximately $196,000 to approximately $50,000. We have also raised approximately $1,100,000 in capital from two investors in private offerings in February and March 2020. We had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,300,909 at March 31, 2020. Included in this working capital deficit is approximately $977,000 in related party payables for which we are confident we can attain extended terms. We plan to raise additional equity financing as well. Therefore, we believe we will be able to meet our obligations as they become due for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot provide any assurance that additional equity financing will be available on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. We have not furloughed or terminated, or cut wages for, any employees, and we do not intend to for the foreseeable future. We are also not taking advantage of the allowed deferral of the employer payroll taxes under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economics Securities Act (“CARES Act”). We have, however, been approved for an $86,000 loan through the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program authorized as part of the CARES Act.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic, has not had a material adverse impact on our operations. However, the economic effects of the pandemic and resulting societal changes are currently not predictable, and the financial impacts could vary from those seen since March 11.of 2020. There are a number of uncertainties that could impact our future results of operations, including the effectiveness of COVID-19 mitigation measures; the duration of the pandemic; global economic conditions; and changes in consumer confidence, behaviorsbehavior and spending.

The pandemic has not had an impact on our ability to implement our other growth strategies.

As of June 30, 2021, we have a cash balance of approximately $310,000. Since December 31, 2019, our expenses have increased more than our sales thereby increasing our average monthly cash deficit from approximately $196,000 to approximately $482,000. We also raised $3,949,000 in capital from 11 investors in a private offering in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. We had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,040,557 at June 30, 2021. Included in this working capital deficit is approximately $596,899 in related party payables for which we are confident we can attain extended terms. We plan to raise additional equity financing as well, without which we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due for the next 12 months. However, we cannot provide any assurance that additional equity financing will be available on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. We did not furlough or terminate, or cut wages for, any employees, and we do not intend to for the foreseeable future. We took advantage of the allowed deferral of the employer payroll taxes under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economics Securities Act (“CARES Act”). We were approved for and received an $89,900 loan through the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program authorized as part of the CARES Act. The loan was fully forgiven in July 2021.

Components of our Operating Results

 

Revenue

 

MembershipSubscription Revenue

 

We generate membershipsubscription revenue through the sale of subscriptions tofor our retail facing product SelectTV, a digital interactive SmartGuide that aggregates media content on the Internet and facilitates access for our customers. Sales are originated from nationwide TV Infomercials via 800-number, online website and third-party online resellers.resellers and we expect will soon expand into in-store retailers.

 

We also generate “renewal” membership revenue from the surviving Rabbit TV members through our Rabbit TV Plus website. Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus are no longer marketed directly to consumers and serves as a separately operated platform for former Rabbit TV customers who want to maintain service. We anticipate seeking to transition the members of Rabbit TV Plus to SelectTV in the near future to eliminate the cost associated with maintaining that independent platform that continues to decrease in memberships annually.

MembershipSubscription revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the duration of the membershipsubscription period, generally ranging from one month to five years. All membershipsubscription fees are collected at the time of purchase. Revenue is recognized when the service has been provided.

 

The principal drivers of our business are the number of active memberssubscribers which, promotional or paid, will generate revenue through multiple avenues, such as licensing, advertising and the price paid by members on an annual basis for their membership.reseller referral fees. We therefore monitor the number of active memberssubscribers as a key performance metric. WhileWe expect our membershipsubscription numbers have been decreasing in recent periods, we expect this trendshould continue to reverse and our membership numbers should increase in future periods due to a substantial increaseincreases in advertising and promotional activity, resulting in growing consumer awareness of our product, despite any impact from COVID-19.

 

In orderProduct Revenue

Until recently, all SeletTV "cord-cutting kits" included a digital HD TV antenna. Asian manufacturing facility closures during the pandemic eliminated our ability to monitorsource HDTV Antennas from our China sources. We now offer our retail package offering without the effectiveness of our pricing strategies,HD TV Antenna. By eliminating the HD TV Antenna from the retail package offering, we also monitor the average sales price forwere able to locate new production and renewing subscriptions. To calculate this metric, sales of membership subscriptions are divided by the number of new and renewing memberships sold. Since our revenue is recognized over the lifemanufacturing of the subscription, we believe that membership sales areretail package offering in the USA. This eliminated our reliance on foreign supply and concerns over maritime shipping backlogs. We still offer our subscribers a better reflection of the growth of our business than GAAP revenue.digital HD TV antenna on special request.

Other Revenue

 

The following table shows the revenue number of membership subscriptions soldOther Revenue includes Licensing, Advertising and the average sales price per new or renewing subscriber for six-month periods beginning July 1, 2017. Note that the large number of subscription sales in the six month period ended December 31, 2017 was due primarily to a one-time wholesale distribution to a third-party affiliate. Subsequently, on January 1, 2018, we introduced our new direct-to-consumer business sales model.

For the Six-Months Ended, Sales of Membership Subscriptions  New and Renewing Memberships Sold  Average Sales Price Per New or Renewing Subscriber 
December 31, 2017 $274,061   75,761  $3.62 
June 30, 2018 $135,316   10,887  $12.43 
December 31, 2018 $64,940   5,086  $12.77

December 31, 2019 $88,092   5,330  $16.53 

Rabbit TV service continues to decline. Beginning in January 2018 with our new Select TV service and our new direct-to-consumer business sales model, we experimented with a myriad of online marketing and sales programs that yielded varied results. During the periods presented, our average sales price per new or renewing subscription sold was impacted by the mix of monthly, annual and longer-term memberships sold because monthly memberships were sold at a premium to an annual membership, while longer term memberships were sold at a discount to annual memberships. 


Other Licensing Revenue

Referral Fee Revenue. SelectTV is also licensed to device manufacturers, hospitality chains and telecom/broadband providers both as the SelectTV brand and through private labeling.labelling. These license arrangements have has not resulted in significant revenue to date.

 

Advertising and Other Revenue

We generate advertising revenueAdvertising Revenue pursuant to arrangements with advertising agencies and brokers. Under these arrangements, we provide the agencies and brokers the ability to sell advertising on our service directly to advertisers. We report this revenue net of amounts due to agencies and brokers because we are neither the primary obligor under these arrangements, nor do we set the pricing or establish or maintain the relationship with the advertisers.

Deferred revenue consists principally of both prepaid but unrecognized membershipsubscription revenue and advertising fees received or billed in advance of the delivery or completion of the delivery of services. We may pay sales incentives, in cash or by issuing equity instruments, to distributors of our memberships.subscriptions. Such sales incentives are not recognized as deferred revenue. Rather, sales incentives are recognized in current operations when issued, regardless of amounts in deferred revenue, which may have resulted from the distributor’s efforts. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the services are provided and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of hosting, product development, and infrastructure costs and the salaries and benefits related to employees in software engineering, facilities-related expenses, and information technology associated with supporting those functions. Hosting costs consist of content streaming, maintaining our Internet service and creating and serving advertisements through third-party ad servers. We make payments to third-party advertising servers in the period in which the advertising impressions are delivered or click-through actions occur, and accordingly record this as a cost of revenue in the related period. We incur product development expenses primarily for improvements to our website and related apps, development of new advertising products and development and enhancement of the guide and streaming system. Product development costs are generally expensed as incurred.

Revenue

We generally have two major components of revenue: subscription revenue, product revenue and advertising and other revenue.

Subscription revenue increased by 58.23%, or $178,929, to $486,231, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $307,302 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Revenue from multi-year subscriptions were and continues to be recognized over a monthly rate based on the subscription’s expiration date. As such, the increase in subscription revenue is mainly attributable to sales from multiyear subscriptions sold in prior periods that were recognized in 2021, resulting in a decrease in deferred revenue.

Product revenue decreased by 31.79%, or $94,468, to $202,730, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $297,198 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. In January 2021, we ceased sales of our "cord cutting kit" in favor of our new Streaming TV Kit, which resulted in a reduced volume of product sales in the second half of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

We generate advertising revenue pursuant to arrangements with advertising affiliates and brokers. Under these arrangements, we provide the agencies and brokers the ability to sell advertising inventory on our service directly to advertisers. Advertising and other revenue increased by 57.91%, or $1,336, to $3,643 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $2,307 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. This increase is attributed to a higher volume of advertising sales in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by 6.56%, or $20,313, to $330,015 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $309,702 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cost of revenue is due principally to increased product and fulfilment costs as the cost of hosting was flat.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating expenses increased by 97.41%, or $3,316,550, to $6,721,272 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $3,404,722 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The increase in operating expenses is attributed to $2,312,677 of additional compensation and benefit costs resulting from our increased employee headcount, a $1,220,310 increase in general and administrative expenses from increased website development, professional fees and internet services. The increases in compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses are partially offset by a decrease of $216,437 in sales and marketing expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) was ($280,863), for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, as compared to other income (expense) of $161,560 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The change was principally caused by a one-time gain from the extinguishment of debt of $780,022 recognized in the year ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by a $340,011 decrease in interest expense.

Revenue

 

We generally have two major components of revenue: membershipsubscription revenue, product revenue and advertising and other revenue.

 

MembershipSubscription revenue increased by 78%22%, or $166,657,$55,700 to $380,062,$307,302, in the nine monthsfiscal year ended March 31,June 30, 2020, as compared withto $251,602 for the same period in the prior year. While revenue from multi-year memberships were still being recognized over a monthly rate based on the subscription’s expiration date, thefiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The increase in membershipsubscription revenue is attributable to an increased advertising and marketing budget that has resulted in ansales of our "cord cutting kit." The increase in sales.subscription revenue is also attributable to the fact that product sales and online renewals from legacy operations have been increased as our core product was redeveloped and its licensing model was strategically redesigned from a single-license model to a multi-license model.

 

Product revenue increased by 100%, or $217,186, to $217,186,was $297,198 in the nine monthsfiscal year ended March 31,June 30, 2020, as compared withto $0 for the same periodfiscal year ended June 30, 2019. We launched our "cord-cutting kit," which included a digital HD TV antenna and a subscription to our service in January 2020. The revenue recorded in the prior year. Product revenue stemsfiscal year ended June 30, 2020 resulted solely from the assembly and fulfillment processes in connection with the newly introduced ‘cord cutting kit’ during the period.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) was $161,560, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, as compared to other income (expense) of $289,613 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was principally caused by an increase in interest expense due to an increase in funding during 2020 from Nextelligence. The loan concurrently increased our interest expense primarily due to the amortization of the debt discount associated with the loans beneficial conversion feature into common stock. The interest expense was offset in both years due to a recognition of income which resulted from the one-time settlement of our outstanding liabilities.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 20192021 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 20182020

Revenue

We generally have two major components of revenue: membership revenue and other revenue.

Membership revenue decreased by 74%, or $726,088 to $251,602, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. While revenue from multi-year memberships were still being recognized over a monthly rate based on the subscription’s expiration date, the decrease in membership revenue is attributable to several factors, including:

The one-time recognition of a large deferred revenue liability in 2018 that related to Rabbit TV USB sales that became obsolete on December 31, 2017.

We had fewer renewals from legacy products for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, relative to 2018.

We did not sell enough Select TV memberships to offset the decline in Rabbit TV membership renewals. Sales of Select TV memberships were limited during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 due to several factors, including the fact that the product was still in the testing and development phase and therefor was not advertised other than in connection with initial testing of the product. As a result, we experienced a decrease of approximately 5,500 memberships during that period.


The following table shows the number of active members by service at the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

  Year-Ended June 30, 
Active Members by Service 2019  2018 
Members:      
 Select TV  11,627   17,107 
 Rabbit TV  48,463   128,770 
Total Active Members:  60,090   145,877 

Other revenue decreased by 67%, or $37,564, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, to $18,189. As we transitioned into the development phase, registered memberships declined as the old Rabbit TV service was phased out and the new SelectTV service was being developed and optimized. As memberships during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 declined, traffic to our site also declined, thus generating less other revenue.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased by less than 1%, or $879, to $177,967, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Despite a 74% decrease in membership revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, our cost of revenue remained comparable with our cost of revenue for the prior fiscal year due to increased hosting costs in fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by 20%, or $368,225, to $1,467,271 million, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, largely due to the decreased personnel and decreased marketing that supports our growth.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have historically financed our liquidity and capital needs primarily through the use of funds generated from operations, the saleissuance of stock and notes payable. We plan to finance our future operating liquidity and regulatory capital needs from operations and the sale of securities. Following this offering, we expect that our personnel and marketing costs will increase as we continue to implement our expansion plan.

 

We primarily hold and invest our cash at various financial institutions and in various instruments, including cash held at banks and money market funds which invest in short-term U.S. government securities. In general, we believe all of our investments and deposits are of high credit quality and we have more than adequate liquidity to conduct our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on the information currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. As of March 31, 2020,June 30, 2021, our previous estimates had not materially deviated from our results.

 

2632 

 

 

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made; if different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur periodically could materially impact the financial statements. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included in this prospectus, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the estimates and assumption used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09,Subscription Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) or ASU 2014-09. The objective of the ASU is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, which supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the ASU Topic 606, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The five-step analysis consists of the following: (i) identifying the contract with a customer; (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Topic 606 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB’s ASC. The Company adopted Topic 606 effective July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company reviewed all contracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

We generate membershipThe Company generates subscription revenue through the renewal sales of Rabbit TV, Rabbit TV Plus, new and renewal sales throughof Select TV, which operates as the successor product to Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus, as well as the SmartGuide, an internet distributed streaming media guide that searches and aggregates media content on the web and facilitates access to its customers through Wi-Fi-enabledWi-Fi- enabled devices that support streaming video. The Company both retransmits, and “ingests”, and distributes content.

Membership Subscription revenue is derived from online sales through search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), various marketing and advertising services, the utilization of resellers in the form of publishers that promote upcoming retail promotions and packages, as well as direct sales to members (Select TV,subscribers. All remaining Rabbit TV Plus). Currently, aand Rabbit TV Plus account only generates renewal sales, ascustomers were migrated to the Select TV service in 2020. Currently, 100% of new sales are being met by the Select TV, media guide. Select TV and Rabbit TV Plus also includeincludes free access to the RabbitSelect TV Mobile app, for Android and iOS devices.

 

MembershipSubscription revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the duration of the membershipsubscription period, generally ranging from one month to five years. If the membersubscriber renews early, then the expiration date is extended by the renewal period, and the additional membershipsubscription fee is deferred and amortized over the additional months purchased by the member.subscriber. All membershipsubscription fees are collected at the time of purchase.

 

CostBeginning in fiscal year ended June 30 2020, in conjunction with the release of the Company’s new product, ‘Cord Cutting Kit” the Company started recognizing significant contracts with customers from product sales requiring performance up to delivery, as well as contracts with customers that contain a subscription portion that causes revenue to be allocated. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer. Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. For the Company’s physical product sales, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied upon shipment.

Advertising and other revenue

Under these arrangements, the Company provides the agencies and brokers the ability to sell advertising inventory on the Company’s service directly to advertisers.

Fair ValueConcentration of Financial InstrumentsCredit Risk

 

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13,Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective forFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company beginning July 1, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. Theto concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents of the Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, loans and other instruments, entities will be requiredare exposed to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will resultcredit risk, subject to federal deposit insurance, in the earlier recognitionevent of allowance for losses.

Accounts ReceivableCompany's cash balance did not exceed the FDIC insured limit.

 

For accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience with the customer, evaluation of their credit history, and review of the invoicing terms of the contract. Accounts receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts when applicable. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance at each reporting date. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.

Income Taxes

Cost of Revenue

 

Deferred taxCost of revenue consists primarily of hosting, product development, infrastructure costs and the salaries and benefits related to employees in software engineering, facilities-related expenses, and information technology associated with supporting those functions. Hosting costs consist of content streaming, maintaining our internet service and creating and serving advertisements through third-party ad servers. The Company makes payments to third-party ad servers in the period in which the advertising impressions are delivered or click-through actions occur, and accordingly records this as a cost of revenue in the related period. The Company incurs product development expenses primarily for improvements to the Company’s website, the apps, development of new advertising products and development and enhancement of the guide and streaming system. Product development costs are generally expensed as incurred. Certain website development and internal use software development costs may be capitalized when specific criteria are met. In such cases, the capitalized amounts are amortized to cost of revenue over the useful life of the related application once the application is placed in service.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing consist primarily of contracts with third-party operators as well as employee-related costs, including, and commissions related to employees in sales, sales support and marketing departments. In addition, sales and marketing expenses include external sales and marketing expenses such as third-party marketing, branding, advertising, public relations expenses, commissions, facilities-related expenses, and infrastructure costs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are recognized for the expected future consequences of events that have been reflected in the financial statements. The Company provides for income taxes using the assetnot active, and liability approach. Deferred taxmodel-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are recordedunobservable.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings (loss) per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase would be anti-dilutive.

The following table provides the number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive, for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

  June 30,

Stock Based Compensation

Stock based compensation issued is measured at the date of grant based on the estimated fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of a stock-based award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award on a straight-line basis. The Company will recognize compensation expense, measured as the fair value of the stock-based compensation on grant date, when a performance condition is considered probable of occurring. For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock-based compensation issued to employees, the Company performs an analysis of current market data and historical data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, the Company uses these estimates as variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of warrants granted any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our Statements of Operations. In addition, any differences between theestimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on our financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.statements.

There are not proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. From time to time, wenew accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. In addition, an entity will have to disclose significantly more information about allowances, credit quality indicators and past due securities. The standard was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods, The Company adopted this standard and determined there is no impact or material adjustments.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) ("ASU 2019-12"): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new standard eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements.

In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be subjectsettled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to various claims, legal actions and regulatory proceedings arisingthe Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in the ordinary courseConcepts Statement, including the consideration of business. costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date

 

The amendments were adopted by the Company for the fiscal year beginning after July 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company evaluated ASU 2018-13 and its impact on its financial statements and determined ASU 2018-13 had no impact on the Company financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We are an entertainment-based content discovery, aggregation and management company that provides SmartGuide® digital interactive technology for consumers to organize today’s numerous sources of online media similar to a traditional on-screen television, or TV, guide. Initially, we licensed our technology to Telebrands who distributed membershipssubscriptions to consumers through retailers under the brand known as Rabbit TV from 2012 through 2016. In July 2016, we began offering our product directly to consumers under our own brand, SelectTV. At that time, membershipssubscriptions to SelectTV were strictly available for purchase and redemption online. In October 2019, we began selling membershipssubscriptions to SelectTV as a direct-to-consumer retail product in the form of a packaged “cord cutting kit” through TV Infomercials, utilizing a toll freetoll-free phone number and ecommerce ordering system, with delivery of the product to consumers via the U.S. Postal Service. Sales and/or renewals that occurred after 2016 were predominantly a result of legacy Rabbit TV sales, in which we maintained and operated for that existing membership base.

 

We also distribute numerous licenses to retail, device manufacturers/distributors (mobile, tablets, set top boxes, “smart” TV’s, streaming equipment, gaming systems), as well as private labelinglabelling for hotel/hospitality, broadband carriers, telecommunications, and promotion companies.

 

Since our inception in 2011, we have sold nearly four million membershipssubscriptions including our current and legacy products. Sales that occurred during this period were predominately a result of legacy Rabbit TV sales, which was in line with our expectations, and declined over this time. During the same period, we operated as a “pre-revenue” growth company, and with investment debt, have been able to progress from our dependence on a single license with Telebrands for revenue to a multiple license model with many more retail options. We currently generate most of our revenue through subscription fees. Going forward, we intend to generate revenue through multiple avenues in addition to subscription fees, such as membership fees, licensing, advertising and reseller referral fees.

 

The following table showsAs Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus were no longer marketed directly to consumers, in 2021 we transitioned the numbersubscribers of active members by service atRabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus to SelectTV in order to eliminate the endcost associated with maintaining that independent platform that continues to lose subscriptions annually. As a result, our 436,028 subscribers as of each fiscal period presented in this prospectus.June 30, 2021 represent all SelectTV subscribers including promotional subscribers, transitioned subscribers of Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus as well as paid SelectTV subscribers. We will continue to report our total subscriber base, as all subscribers, promotional or paid, generate revenue through multiple avenues, such as licensing, advertising and reseller referral fees.

Immediately following a five-year exclusive Distribution Agreement we had with Telebrands that expired on December 31, 2017, we sought to redevelop our technology services from a single license to a multi-license platform. Over the next two years we experimented with a myriad of online marketing and sales programs yielding varied results. In late 2019, we ultimately settled on a retail solution, evolving the online SelectTV brand into a consumer-packaged cord cutter kit, focusing on sales via TV Infomercials, mail delivery to consumerswhich we did in partnership with Mel Arthur and Kevin Harrington (of Home Shopping Network and Shark Tank, respectively). The TV Infomercials were also utilized as an awareness campaign and positioning for big box retailer distribution. We set the base price for the packaged kit at $19.95 plus shipping, which includes one year of service and optional upgrade years. This price point represents a typical TV Infomercial price point for consumers. The kits were delivered by mail to consumers.

The basis of our service platform is our proprietary content aggregation technology that automatically crawls the Internet to locate commercial-quality entertainment content from thousands of sources, including free, paid and subscription-based content. Additionally, we subscribe to the top entertainment data services such as Gracenote (owned by Nielson) and Guidebox/Reelgood whom provide real-time updates. Our technology then sorts through and manages all available commercial-quality digital media, including both live and on-demand video from free, subscription and pay-per-view (PPV) services. All of this information is then incorporated into our interactive SmartGuide presented to consumers in a familiar easy-to-use cable-like TV guide via the Internet and as a software application, on all Wi-Fi enabled devices.

 

The SmartGuide uses images and related information on customized guide pages to provide memberssubscribers with an easy way to explore all of the available media choices from one centralized account, regardless of the device or location. Upon selecting content to consume, the membersubscriber is directed to the original source of the content. If content is available for free, the membersubscriber is transferred to the website providing the content. If content is available through a subscription service (such as Netflix or Hulu), we allow the membersubscriber to log-in to the service through our SmartGuide and the membersubscriber is then directed to the subscription service’s website. If the content is PPV, the membersubscriber is directed to the page requiring payment for the PPV service. We do not manipulate or distribute the source content, and the provider of the content retains all rights to and management of content.

 

Because we link memberssubscribers directly to third-party content sources and in no way manipulate, store, retransmit or distribute this content, we are not subject to licensing fees or restrictions by third-party content suppliers. We are not responsible for the availability or content of these external websites, nor do we endorse, warrant or guarantee the products, services or information described or offered. All logos and trademarks used in the guide are the sole property of their respective owners. We believe that this is a complementary relationship in which we directly supply free traffic to content suppliers, much like the print-based model employed by TV Guide in past decades.

 

Our SmartGuide technology is currently available on computers, “smart” phones, tablets, streaming devices and “smart” TV’s. It is available directly to consumers, branded as SelectTV, and will also be distributed by third parties, both as SelectTV and under other licensed brand names and partnerships.

 

Additionally, SelectTV is being sold as a part of a cord-cutting kit via TV Infomercials done in partnership with Mel Arthur and Kevin Harrington (of Home Shopping Network and Shark Tank, respectively). Sales via 800-numbers and online affiliates will be followed by distribution through big box retailers.38 

 


Our strategy is to grow our SmartGuide membershipsubscription business domestically and globally via wholesale licensing agreements with: (i) manufacturers of “smart” TVs, mobile phones and streaming devices; (ii) bandwidth providers; (iii) hospitality locations; and (iv) online communities of users. We work constantly to improve the customer experience, with a focus on expanding the content catalogued by our technology, enhancing our user interface and extending our service to even more Internet-connected devices.

 

Historically, we launched the initial SelectTV service, and displayed an accompanying device that turned any flat-screen TV into what we had branded as “The Smartest TV Ever.” In addition to the usual app manager you get with other set-top boxes, the SelectTV hardware included a fully functional web browser complete with version 1.0 of our initial SmartGuide technology. SelectTV also featured capabilities for media storage, gaming, home automation and home security. This original hardware version of SelectTV launched in November 2017 was soon thereafter discontinued in lieu of the current software-only version which has been developed to operate on most consumer Wi-Fi enabled media devices produced globally by numerous manufacturers.

 

Industry Overview

 

The way people consume entertainment has changed dramatically in recent years. The pay TVglobal digital media market, which includes cable and satellite TV as well as Internet-based subscription services like Sling TV, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Apple and Amazon, generated revenues worldwide of approximately $265is expected to reach $294 billion in 2018,2021 and is growing at nearly 17% annually, based on information released in a report by ABI Research.Statista. Due in part to the continued decline of traditional cable and satellite TV households; between 2019 and 2023, they estimate, the number of U.S. pay TV households will decline from 86.5 million to 72.7 million according to eMarketer.

 

Meanwhile, it is clear that connected TVs (TVs that can be connected to the internet and access content beyond what is available via the normal offering from a cable provider, or other devices that use a TV as a display and can connect to the internet to access content) and OTT (Over-the-Top, which refers to film and television content provided via a high-speed Internet connection rather than a cable or satellite provider) are growing faster than ever. It is expected that the number of digital video viewers in the U.S. will top 235244 million in 2019,2020, which represents 71.2%79.1% of the country’s population.

 

Furthermore, while consumers used to be able to watch a particular television program on a particular channel at a particular time (also known as linear video), the majority of consumers now watch television in a non-linear fashion. According to Nielsen’s Total Audience Report for Q1 of 2019,2021, adults 18-34 spend 1113 hours and 2725 minutes connected to media every day, 66%68% of that time is spent on Internet-connected devices, such as computers, tablets and “smart” phones. The share of these new devices increased across all age groups with over 5%11% growth among 35-49 year olds35–49-year-olds in just Q1 of 20192020 alone.

 

Options are great for consumers when it comes to deciding what to watch, but they are also decidedly complicated for an industry that continues to fragment and search for unique ways to influence consumer behavior. According to the Nielsen MediaTech Trender, 33% of adults have a rough idea what they want to watch, but are not exactly sure, and 22% do not know what they want to watch before tuning in. These habits vary by age; adults 18-34 are most open to browsing for content, as 30% have no idea what to watch and 40% have a rough idea beforehand.

 

We expect the trends toward non-linear digital video consumption to continue and believe that we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of this market with our products.

Sources of Revenue

 

FreeCast derives revenue from the following sources:

 

For memberssubscribers who sign up with us online via SelectTV .com, we charge a fee of $19.95$29.95 each year;year, or $3.99 monthly;

 

For memberssubscribers who purchase our product through third-party licensees,sign up with us via retail packaging of SelectTV’s Streaming TV Kit, we receivecharge the retailer a portion$10.00 thru $7.00 wholesale price (based on quantity ordered) which includes 1-year of the retail sales price from the third-party licensee;service. Retail MSRP is $19.95;

 

License fees will be charged to device manufacturers, hospitality locations, broadband providers and telecommunications companies who will use our SmartGuide technology;

 

We receive a fee for advertising on our guide pages provided, and for in-video/pre-roll ads by Google, pursuant to the standard terms and conditions of Google’s AdSense program;

 

We receive fees through affiliate programs for content providers that have such programs for PPV programs that are purchased through our SmartGuide; and

 

We receive fees for third-party related products (such as cables to connect a device to a member’ssubscriber’s television) that are purchased through our SmartGuide.

 


In Development

 

We continue to advance our technology stack with client/customer services, all of which are anticipated to bring value-added features and revenues to the Company, including the following:

 

Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) - The ability to serve ads to visitors on a unique personalized basis, matching their existing advertising identifiers with refined digital advertising based on their known interests.

 

Media Pay (MP) - Fully integrated virtual wallet system limited exclusively to digital media subscriptions (VOD, PPV, SVOD), enabling users to protect their primary personal and payment credentials. One place to manage all subscriptions and billing with easy cancellation and wallet protection.

 

Channel Builder (MicroChannels) – End-to-end software solution for development of digital TV channels with robust support for leading advertising formats in addition to distribution technology that allows for integration to all major providers (OTT, Over the Air, etc.). Existing robust integrations with leading DAI solutions and internal DAI solutions enable this platform to monetize at a rate higher than traditional TV.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe that we have a number of distinct advantages over competitors and are well positioned to fill the gaps in key market segments:

 

While traditional TV providers rely on fixed terrestrial hardwired infrastructure and first-party or proprietary devices and software ecosystems, our service is delivered via the Internet.

 

Most of the products of our competitors are often limited in terms of the library of content available. For example, Netflix does not provide the same content as Amazon Prime, and neither will direct a subscriber to content available on the competing service. Because our SmartGuide catalogues content but does not distribute any content, we are able to direct memberssubscribers to any service that has the program they would like to watch available, whether free or fee based.

 

Many of our competitors provide services that are often tied to a single home-based device. Our SmartGuide, however, is device agnostic and may be used on any device with Internet access, thanks to a robust web-based interface and apps available on major platforms including Android TV.

 

Unlike competitors, our memberssubscribers continue to generate post-sale revenue through advertising on our guide pages and payments made to us through affiliate programs if memberssubscribers purchase media or other hardware products through our service.

Our Growth Strategies 

 

Through SelectTV, the brand or private labeling,labelling, we plan to accelerate our licensing platform to device makers and bandwidth providers, giving them a low-cost monetizable means to offer a competitive TV service to their customers without a large investment in new infrastructure. Our growth strategy also includes offering our packaged “cord cutting kit”and newly named "Streaming TV Kit” through a third party’s physical stores.

 

We also plan to launch our SelectTV retail packaged service (in territory or language specific private label variations) beyond the United States onto global markets by late 2020.2022.

 

 We plan on offering DAI and Channel Builder in late 2021 and early 2022, respectively which we anticipate will increase advertising revenue and breadth of content across our platform. \Our fully integrated virtual wallet system, Media Pay (MP) is expected to launch in early 2022 and will allow our subscribers to manage all subscriptions and billings with easy cancelation. This unified payment for subscriptions and entertainment services along with our initiate to license our platform to global bandwidth distributors and content providers in various countries should reduce subscriber churn and increase revenue.

Relationship with Nextelligence, Inc.

 

On June 30, 2011, we entered into a Technology License and Development Agreement (as amended, the “Technology Agreement”), with Nextelligence, which is majority owned and controlled by William A. Mobley, Jr., our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors. The Technology Agreement provides us with an exclusive 40 year license to a web-based application that installs in the end-user’s browser and any supported email functions or chat functions with search and certain other features (the “Technology”) from Nextelligence and for Nextelligence to provide all further development, improvement, modification, maintenance, management and enhancement services related to the Technology.

  

Pursuant to the Technology Agreement we issued 20,004,000 shares of our common stock to Nextelligence. The Technology Agreement also requires us to issue Nextelligence a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of our common stock for each 2,000,000 membershipssubscriptions sold over 10,000,000. The Technology Agreement has a 40 year termexpires on June 30, 2054, unless it's terminated earlyearlier based on termination events as defined in the Technology Agreement.

 

Competition

 

While there are many players in the online video space, FreeCast’s offering is unique and thus does not currently have direct, analogous competitors. Generally, any provider of online media that may appear to compete with us often in fact enjoys a mutually beneficial relationship, where their offering is captured and catalogued by our SmartGuide, which benefits our service, and we in turn send traffic and eyeballs to them as a result.

 

There are, however, several entities that provide services that are similar to the individual features or components of our own SmartGuide and SelectTV. They include:

 

Amazon Prime Video, through which Amazon also sells packages of content from HBO, Showtime, and others, which appear within the same interface for Prime Video subscribers.

 

Viacom’s recently-acquired PlutoTV business, which assembles online content from various sources into linear channels which are made available online, similar to the Live Channels offering within SelectTV.

 

Websites like Yidio and CanIStream.It that function as basic media search engines and point users to legal streaming sources of specified shows and movies.

 

Roku, TiVo, Amazon’s FireTV and Apple TV, which are devices that aim to serve as media managers, though these are all hardware-centric solutions and little more than app managers, in contrast to our device-agnostic approach and unified media interface for all content.

 

As competition in the online television space increases, we expect this to strengthen the value proposition of our product, making it more appealing to potential commercial partners and to consumers as well.

Operations

 

FreeCast licenses extensive entertainment data from Gracenote (a Nielsen company) and Guidebox/Guidebox/Reelgood. This data is to create the most comprehensive and up-to-date catalog of content from thousands of sources directly available from the World Wide Web by using in combination with FreeCast’s own proprietary aggregation technology. The links are then compiled into our SmartGuide for use by our members.subscribers. We market our service through various channels, including online advertising, broad-based media, such as television and radio, as well as various strategic partnerships. We utilize the services of third-party cloud computing providers, more specifically, Amazon Web Services.

 

The initial two-year term of the Gracenote license agreement began on March 25, 2019. The license agreement automatically renews for successive one-year terms, unless either party notifies the other in writing at least 90 days before the end of the initial or renewal term of its desire to not renew, in which event the license agreement expires at the end of the then-current term. Gracenote may also terminate the license agreement in the event of a change of control that results in us controlling, or being controlled by, or being under common control with, any competitor or customer of Gracenote or its affiliates. Gracenote may also terminate the license agreement or cease providing data to us if we fail to pay any invoice within 60 days after we receive such invoice. We pay Gracenote a monthly license fee of $5,000,$5,210, which increases to $7,500 when we reach 750,001 active monthly users. After the initial two-year term, the monthly license fee increases by five percent with each anniversary of the beginning date.

 

The initial one-year term of the Guidebox/Reelgood license agreement began on February 1, 2019. The license agreement automatically renews for successive one-year terms, unless either party notifies the other in writing at least 30 days before the end of the initial or renewal term of its desire to not renew, in which event the license agreement expires at the end of the then-current term. Either party may terminate the license agreement if the other party fails to cure a material breach of the license agreement within 30 days after the non-breaching party provides written notice of such breach. Guidebox/Reelgood may also terminate the license agreement upon a change of majority control of our current owners by sale of stock or assets, merger or otherwise. We pay Guidebox/Reelgood a monthly license fee that fluctuates depending on the data we request, with a minimum monthly fee of $5,000.

 

Seasonality

 

Our membersubscriber growth exhibits a seasonal pattern that reflects variations in when consumers buy Internet-connected devices and when they tend to increase video watching. As a consequence, membersubscriber growth is generally greatest in our fourth and first quarters (October through March), slowing in our second quarter (April through June) and then accelerating in our third quarter (July through September).

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other companies that are not emerging growth companies. Accordingly, we have included detailed compensation information for only our three most highly compensated executive officers and have not included a compensation discussion and analysis (CD&A) of our executive compensation programs in this prospectus. In addition, for so long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to:

 

engage an auditor to report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act;

 

comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency,” and “say-on-golden parachutes;” or

 

disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparison of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which we have elected to take advantage of.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of:

 

 our reporting $1$1.07 billion or more in annual gross revenues;

 

our issuance, in a three yearthree-year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt;

 

the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter; and

Mr. Savine resignedMorris was appointed as a member of our board of directors, effective May 29, 2020, to fill the vacancy created by Christopher M. Savine's resignation as a member of our board of directors, effective May 27, 2020. Mr. Morris was appointed, effective May 29, 2020, to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Savine’s departureMorris’s appointment is for the remainder of Mr. Savine’s term.

 

We anticipate that two additional directors who are independent under Nasdaq rules will be appointed to our board of directors subject to and effective upon the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.

 

After this offering, William A. Mobley, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, individually and through Nextelligence, Inc., which is majority owned and controlled by him, will own or control in excess of       % of our outstanding common stock, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares. This gives Mr. Mobley effective control of our company through our board of directors and permits him to decide all matters required to be presented to shareholders for vote.

Term of Office

 

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that our board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors as nearly equal in number as possible, designated: Class I, Class II and Class III, with each director serving for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected. Mr. Mobley’s current term as a director ends on the date of our annual meeting in 2021, Mr. Gust’s current term as a director ends on the date of our annual meeting in 2022 and Mr. Morris’ current term ends on the date of our annual meeting in 2023.

 

Director Independence

 

Upon the completion of this offering, we expect that our common stock will be listed on Nasdaq. We expect to be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance standards because more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock following the completion of this offering will be held by Nextelligence, Inc. A “controlled company” may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards, including the requirements that: (i) we have a majority of our board of directors consists of “independent directors,” as defined under Nasdaq rules; (ii) we have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and (iii) we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. Following this offering, in reliance upon the foregoing exemptions, a majority of our board of directors will not consist of independent directors, we will not have a nominating and corporate governance committee, and our compensation committee will not be composed entirely of independent directors, and we may use any of these exemptions for so long as we are a controlled company. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

 

The “controlled company” exception does not modify the independence requirements for the audit committee, and we intend to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Nasdaq. The rules of Nasdaq permit the composition of our audit committee to be phased-in as follows: (i) one independent committee member at the time our shares are listed on Nasdaq; (ii) a majority of independent committee members within 90 days of the date of this prospectus; and (iii) all independent committee members within one year of the date of this prospectus. Thereafter, we will be required to have an audit committee comprised entirely of independent directors. We expect to appoint two independent directors to our board subject to and effective upon the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq. If at any time we cease to be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules, our board of directors will take all action necessary to comply with the applicable Nasdaq rules, including appointing a majority of independent directors to our board of directors and establishing certain committees composed entirely of independent directors, subject to a permitted “phase-in” period.

 

Our board of directors has reviewed the independence of our directors, as well as our director nominees who will join our board of directors upon the closing of the offering, based on the listing standards of Nasdaq. Based on this review, our board of directors determined that Mr. David Gust is independent within the meaning of Nasdaq rules. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each of these non-employee directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence. As required under applicable Nasdaq rules, we anticipate that our independent directors will meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present.

 

Board Committees

 

Our board of directors has established standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. These committees include an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, but in reliance on the exemption available for controlled companies the Compensation Committee will not have a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. Upon completion of this offering, a copy of the charter for the Audit Committee will be available on our website. Our board of directors may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

 

Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee will be responsible for, among other matters:

 

appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating, and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm the independence of its members from its management;

 

reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

 


46 

approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that we file with the SEC;

 

reviewing and monitoring our accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

 

coordinating the oversight by our board of directors of our code of business conduct and our disclosure controls and procedures

 

establishing procedures for the confidential or anonymous submission of concerns regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters; and

 

reviewing and approving related-person transactions.

 

Upon completion of this offering, our Audit Committee will consist of Mr. David Gust. The Nasdaq rules require us to have one independent Audit Committee member upon the listing of our common stock, a majority of independent directors within 90 days of the date of this prospectus and all independent Audit Committee members within one year of the date of this prospectus. Our board of directors has affirmatively determined that Mr. David Gust meets the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on an Audit Committee under Rule 10A-3 and Nasdaq rules. Our board of directors has determined that none of our independent directors qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee will be responsible for, among other matters:

 

reviewing key employee compensation goals, policies, plans and programs;

 

reviewing and approving the compensation of our directors and executive officers;

 

reviewing and approving employment agreements and other similar arrangements between us and our executive officers; and

 

appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants or advisors.

 

Upon completion of this offering, our Compensation Committee will consist of Mr. William A. Mobley, Jr. and Mr. David Gust. As a controlled company, we will rely upon the exemption from the requirement that our Compensation Committee be composed entirely of independent directors.

 

Risk Oversight

 

Our board of directors will oversee a company-wide approach to risk management. Our board of directors will determine the appropriate risk level for us generally, assess the specific risks faced by us and review the steps taken by management to manage those risks. While our board of directors will have ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, its committees will oversee risk in certain specified areas.

        

Specifically, our Compensation Committee will be responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements, and the incentives created by the compensation awards it administers. Our Audit Committee will oversee management of enterprise risks and financial risks, as well as potential conflicts of interests. Our board of directors will be responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our board of directors.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

All compensation and related matters after this offering will be reviewed by our Compensation Committee.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

Upon or prior to completion of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees. Upon completion of this offering, a copy of this code will be available on our website. We intend to disclose on our website any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and any waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions.

2021 Incentive Award Plan

We have adopted, subject to shareholder approval, a 2021 Incentive Award Plan ("Award Plan"), which became effective on June 25, 2021. The principal purpose of the Award Plan is to attract, retain and motivate selected employees, consultants and directors through the granting of stock-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards. The material terms of the Award Plan are summarized below.

Share Reserve. Under the Award Plan, 6,000,000 shares of our common stock will be initially reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance bonus awards, performance stock unit awards, dividend equivalents or other stock or cash based awards.

The following counting provisions will be in effect for the share reserve under the Award Plan:

to the extent that an award expires, lapses or is terminated, converted into an award in respect of shares of another entity in connection with a spin-off or other similar event, exchanged for cash, surrendered, repurchased or cancelled, in any case, in a manner that results in the company acquiring the underlying shares at a price not greater than the price paid by the participant or not issuing the underlying shares, such unused shares subject to the award at such time will be available for future grants under the Award Plan;
to the extent shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to any award under the Award Plan, such tendered or withheld shares will be available for future grants under the Award Plan;
to the extent shares subject to stock appreciation rights are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of stock appreciation rights on exercise thereof, such shares will be available for future grants under the Award Plan;
the payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Award Plan; and
shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by us or any of our subsidiaries will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Award Plan.

In addition, the sum of the grant date fair value of all equity-based awards and the maximum that may become payable pursuant to all cash-based awards to any individual for services as a non-employee director during any calendar year may not exceed $50,000.

Administration. The compensation committee of our board of directors is expected to administer the Award Plan unless our board of directors assumes authority for administration. The board of directors may delegate its powers to a committee, which, to the extent required to comply with Rule 16b-3, is intended to be comprised of “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Award Plan provides that the board of directors or leadership development, belonging and compensation committee may delegate its authority to grant awards other than to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or officers or directors to whom authority to grant awards has been delegated.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Plan, the administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the number of shares to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Award Plan. The administrator is also authorized to adopt, amend or rescind rules relating to administration of the Award Plan. Our board of directors may at any time remove the leadership development, belonging and compensation committee as the administrator and revest in itself the authority to administer the Award Plan.

Eligibility. Awards under the Award Plan may be granted to individuals who are then our officers, employees or consultants or are the officers, employees or consultants of certain of our subsidiaries. Such awards also may be granted to our named executive officers upondirectors. However, only employees of our company or certain of our subsidiaries may be granted incentive stock options, or ISOs.

Awards. The Award Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock unit awards, performance bonus awards, performance stock units, other stock- or cash-based awards and dividend equivalents, or any combination thereof. Each award will be set forth in a terminationseparate agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms and conditions of employment without cause the award.

Nonstatutory Stock Options, or NSOs, will provide for the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a specified price which may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (at the discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments after the grant date, subject to the participant’s continued employment or service with us and/or subject to the satisfaction of corporate performance targets and individual performance targets established by the administrator. NSOs may be granted for any term specified by the administrator that does not exceed ten years.

49 

Incentive Stock Options, or ISOs, will be designed in a manner intended to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and will be subject to specified restrictions contained in the Code. Among such restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be exercisable after a period of ten years measured from the date of grant. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the Award Plan provides that the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five years measured from the date of grant.
Restricted Stock may be granted to any eligible individual and made subject to such restrictions as may be determined by the administrator. Restricted stock typically may be forfeited for no consideration or repurchased by us at the original purchase price if the conditions or restrictions on vesting are not met. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed or expire. Purchasers of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options, will have voting rights and will have the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time when the restrictions lapse; however, extraordinary dividends will generally be placed in escrow, and will not be released until restrictions are removed or expire.
Restricted Stock Units may be awarded to any eligible individual, typically without payment of consideration, but subject to vesting conditions based on continued employment or service or on performance criteria established by the administrator. Like restricted stock, restricted stock units may not be sold, or otherwise transferred or hypothecated, until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted stock, stock underlying restricted stock units will not be issued until the restricted stock units have vested, and recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.

50 

Stock Appreciation Rights, or SARs, may be granted in connection with stock options or other awards, or separately. SARs granted in connection with stock options or other awards typically will provide for payments to the holder based upon increases in the price of our common stock over a set exercise price. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the Award Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. SARs under the Award Plan will be settled in cash or shares of our common stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the administrator.
Performance Bonus Awards and Performance Stock Units are denominated in cash or shares/unit equivalents, respectively, and may be linked to one or more performance or other criteria as determined by the administrator.
Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards are awards of cash, fully vested shares of our common stock and other awards valued wholly or partially by referring to, or otherwise based on, shares of our common stock. Other stock- or cash-based awards may be granted to participants and may also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to any individual who is eligible to receive awards. The administrator will determine the terms and conditions of other stock- or cash-based awards, which may include vesting conditions based on continued service, performance and/or other conditions.
Dividend Equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of our common stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are converted to cash or shares by such formula and such time as determined by the administrator. In addition, dividend equivalents with respect to an award subject to vesting will either (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject to vesting to the same extent as the related award.

Any award may be granted as a performance award, meaning that the award will be subject to vesting and/or resignation for good reasonpayment based on the attainment of specified performance goals.

The Award Plan also provides that unless otherwise provided by administrator or terminationotherwise directed by the holder of employment without causean option or resignation for good reason following a changeSAR, each vested and exercisable option and SAR outstanding on the automatic exercise date with an exercise price per share that is less than the fair market value per share as of such date will automatically be exercised on such date.

Adjustments of Awards. The administrator has broad discretion to take action under the Award Plan, as well as make adjustments to the terms and conditions of existing and future awards, to prevent the dilution or enlargement of intended benefits and facilitate necessary or desirable changes in control. The table below reflects amounts payablethe event of certain transactions and events affecting our common stock, such as stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, and other corporate transactions. In addition, in the event of certain non-reciprocal transactions with our shareholders known as “equity restructurings,” the administrator will make equitable adjustments to our executive officers assuming their employment was terminated on June 30, 2019the Award Plan and if applicable,outstanding awards.

51 

Change in Control. In the event of a change in control, unless the administrator elects to terminate an award in exchange for cash, rights or other property, or cause an award to accelerate in full prior to the change in control, such award will continue in effect or be assumed or substituted by the acquirer, provided that any performance-based portion of the award will be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement. In the event the acquirer refuses to assume or replace awards granted, prior to the consummation of such transaction, awards issued under the Award Plan (other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting) will be subject to accelerated vesting such that 100% of such awards will become vested and exercisable or payable, as applicable. The administrator may also occurred onmake appropriate adjustments to awards under the Award Plan and is authorized to provide for the acceleration, cash-out, termination, assumption, substitution or conversion of such date.awards in the event of a change in control or certain other unusual or nonrecurring events or transactions.

Amendment and Termination. The administrator may terminate, amend or modify the Award Plan at any time and from time to time. However, we must generally obtain shareholder approval to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable stock exchange rule), and generally no amendment may materially and adversely affect any outstanding award without the affected participant’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an option may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price below the per share exercise price of such option on the grant date and options may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of options having a higher per share exercise price without receiving additional shareholder approval.

 

No incentive stock options may be granted pursuant to the Award Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Award Plan. Any award that is outstanding on the termination date of the Award Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the Award Plan and the applicable award agreement.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth, as of June 4, 2020,October 22, 2021, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our common stock by: (i) each shareholder known by us to own beneficially five percent or more of our outstanding common stock or series a common stock; (ii) each director; (iii) each named executive officer; and (iv) all of our executive officers and directors as a group, and their percentage ownership and voting power.

 

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option, or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. As of June 4, 2020,October 22, 2021, we had 33,501,62635,978,376 shares of common stock outstanding.

Voting Stock

Holders of our common stock are entitled to elect a minority of our board of directors, and each share of our common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of shareholders. Therefore, holders of our common stock will have little ability to influence our management and operations.

Shareholders are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of our common stock can elect all directors entitled to be elected by the common shareholders.

Voting Trust Agreement

 

On October 15, 2012, we entered into a Voting Trust Agreement with Telebrands and William A. Mobley, Jr. The Voting Trust Agreement appoints William A. Mobley, Jr. as the trustee of all the shares of our common stock owned by Telebrands at any time (the “Entrusted Shares”). Telebrands currently owns 4,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock (of which only 4,000,000 are earned and currently exercisable until October 14, 2022). Pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, Mr. Mobley is entitled to exercise all rights relating to the voting and disposition of the Entrusted Shares, provided, however, Mr. Mobley is not allowed to effect a disposition or permit registration of the Entrusted Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities administrators unless Nextelligence, Inc., which is majority owned and controlled by Mr. Mobley, simultaneously effects a disposition or permits registration of an identical proportion of our voting securities held by Nextelligence on the same terms and conditions. In addition, Mr. Mobley may not permit a disposition or registration of any voting securities of the Company that Nextelligence holds unless he simultaneously effects a disposition or registration of an identical proportion of the Entrusted Shares on the same terms and conditions.

 

The term of such trust ends upon the earlier to occur, of: (i) Mr. Mobley ceases to be an affiliate of the Company, as defined in the Voting Trust Agreement; or (ii) the disposition of all of the Entrusted Shares.

 

We are obligated to indemnify Mr. Mobley against any liabilities, damages, claims, taxes, deficiencies, assessments, losses, penalties, interest, costs and expenses paid or incurred by him in connection with the Voting Trust Agreement, unless those paid or incurred are a result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Mr. Mobley.

65 

Stabilization

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.

 

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.

     

Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option or purchasing shares in the open market.

 

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through exercise of the over- allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

     

Penalty bids permitspermit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares of common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares of common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock or warrants in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Passive Market Making

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

 

Other Relationships

 

The underwriters and their respective affiliates may, in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees. However, except as disclosed in this prospectus, we have no present arrangements with the underwriters for any further services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Freecast,FreeCast, Inc.:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Freecast,FreeCast, Inc. (“the Company”) as of June 30, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 20192021 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 20192021 and 2018,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2019,2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’sManagement's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.PCAOB an in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) related to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

F-2 

Accounting for Convertible Debt

As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $1.5 million and $488 thousand, respectively, of principal in convertible debt outstanding as described in Notes 7 and 8 to the financial statements. The accounting for these transactions required management to assess as to whether any embedded features required bifurcation and separate valuation. Additionally, the transactions required management to perform an analysis on the embedded conversion features to discern whether such conversion features were beneficial conversion features requiring separate classification within equity in the financial statements. During the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a total of approximately $873 thousand and $230 thousand, respectively, related to the determined beneficial conversion features.

Auditing management’s determination of the accounting for these transactions was challenging due to the complexity and significant judgement involved in assessing the embedded features of the convertible notes for separate accounting and assessing the determination of whether the conversion feature should be accounted for as a beneficial conversion feature within equity in the financial statements.

To test the Company’s determination of the accounting for the convertible debt, our audit procedures included, among others:

We inspected the related debt agreements and tested management’s application of the relevant accounting guidance.
We tested the value of the recognized beneficial conversion features by assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the valuation and recalculated such amounts.
We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 20192021 AND 20182020

 

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

 

FreeCast, Inc. (the “Company”) developed and markets an interactive digital media guide that facilitates access to a virtual library of entertainment media. The Company is based in Orlando, Florida and was founded in 2011 as a Florida Corporation. The Company’s primary products are SmartGuide and Select TV. Both SmartGuide and Select TV utilize the Company-designed proprietary technology that searches, and aggregates internet distributed streaming media into an electronic media guide. SmartGuide is licensable to brands/manufacturers of devices with large online user bases, while Select TV is a retail package that is sold by monthly and/or annual subscriptions.

Going Concern

 

The Company’s operating history has incurred recurring losses from operations since inception, accumulating a deficit of approximately $12.83$22.42 million as of June 30, 2019.2021. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $1.08$6.64 million and $1.56$2.95 million, respectively. The Company may incur additional losses and negative operating cash flows in the future. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, reduce spending or raise additional capital could adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

 

Since the inception of the Company in 2011, the operations of the Company have been funded primarily through sales of common stock to private investors, debt financing, and exchange of common stock for services received by the Company. Management cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Company’s ability to conduct business.

 

The accompanying financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 20192021 and 20182020 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the 20202022 fiscal year, management intends to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund future operations and to provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company’s needs. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

COVID-19

There have been recent outbreaks in several countries, including the United States, of the highly transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The outbreak of such Covid-19 resulted in a widespread health crisis that adversely affected general commercial activity and the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States. Although to date, the Company has not been adversely affected by Covid-19, the measures taken by the governments of countries affected could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.

F-8 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosure in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others: accounts receivable realization, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the valuation of the Company’s common stock, operating expense accruals, and revenue recognition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposits, marketable securities with maturities of three months or less at purchase, and money market funds that invest primarily in certificates of deposits, commercial paper and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. Cash equivalents are reported at fair value.

 


Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivablereceivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for holdbacks and doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions and set up an allowance for doubtful accounts when collection is uncertain. Customers’ accounts are written off when all attempts to collect have been exhausted. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. AtThe balance of allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 20192021 and 2018, the accounts receivable reserve was approximatelyJune 30, 2020 of $245,240 and $245,240, respectively.

PropertyInventory

Merchandise inventory consists solely of finished goods and Equipmentis valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the amount recognized as inventory aggregated $28,685, and $18,706, respectively. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and our ability to sell the product(s) concerned. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market conditions or other factors, which may result in a reduction in the rate of orders and reorders placed by customers. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the reserve for inventory obsolescence aggregated $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Property and equipmentEquipment

Property and Equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged against expense as incurred.

Leases

Effective July 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, Leases. Under ASC 842, we determine if a contractual arrangement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities related to operating leases and finance leases are separately reported in the balance sheets.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Operating lease ROU assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term.

F-9 

The ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the ROU asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of application software development costs and for internal use are capitalized and amortized over an estimated useful life of three years. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal-use software and application development are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC Topic 360-10-05. “Property, Plant and Equipment”.If the carrying amount of the asset, including any intangible assets associated with that asset, exceeds itit’s estimated undiscounted net cash flow, before interest, the Company will recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between it carrying amount and its estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2019,2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $3,500,$0 and $0, respectively, in impairment losses.

 

Revenue RecognitionIncome Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” which codified SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

FASB issued ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) or ASU 2014-09. The objectivetwelve months ended June 30, 2021, the effective rate also included disallowed expenses used to substantiate the expected forgiveness of the ASU isloan secured under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act enacted March 27, 2020 (the “CARES Act”). Accordingly, loan proceeds used to establish a single comprehensive modelpay for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, which supersedes mostpayroll and select overhead costs may substantiate the forgiveness of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchangePPP loan but become non-deductible expenses for those goods or services. In applying the ASU, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The five-step analysis consists of the following: (i) identifying the contract with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB’s ASC. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company reviewed all contracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.tax purpose

UnderBeginning in fiscal year ended June 30 2020, in conjunction with the previous “Amended Distribution Technology Agreement”, the Company provided the right to Telebrands to market, promote, sell, and distribute memberships to access Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV plus via the internet. Per the agreement, the Company shall pay to Telebrands the greater of (i) (A) the number of memberships sold and funds collected, multiplied by (B) seventy-five cents ($0.75) or (ii) fifty percent (50%)release of the Company’s net profits derivednew product, ‘Cord Cutting Kit” the Company started recognizing significant contracts with customers from product sales requiring performance up to delivery, as well as contracts with customers that contain a subscription portion that causes revenue to be allocated. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer. Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. For the Company’s physical product sales, under the Amended Distribution Agreement and is included in sales and marketing expense in the Company’s Statements of Operations.


On January 2, 2015, the Company entered into a purchase agreement which transferred the Media Content Management System (“MCMS”) to the Company in consideration for the extinguishment of outstanding debt. Subsequently, the parties entered into a “Revision to the Second Amended and Restated Technology License and Development Agreement” which as of June 30, 2016 terminates all payments to Nextelligence pursuant to the “Second Amended and Restated Technology Agreement” signed and entered into July 31, 2014. After June 30, 2016, Nextelligence no longer has the right to sell, market, and distribute membership access to Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus, either via USB “dongle” or internet.

Prior to the June 30, 2016 “Revision”, the Company evaluated the criteria outlined in ASC Topic 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. Rabbit TV fees paid by customers through Telebrands is reported net of any fees payable to or retained by Telebrands. This is because, although the Company is the primary obligor, the Company does not establish the sales price and does not have credit risk. Rabbit TV Plus fees paid by customers to the Company is reported gross of fees or commissions paid to Telebrands. Since the Company is the primary obligor in the transaction, has latitude in establishing the sales price, and has the credit risk, revenue is recorded on a gross basis. During the first six months of Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2019, the Company recognized the last of deferred revenue related to former relationship with Telebrands.performance obligations are satisfied upon shipment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents of the Company are exposed to credit risk, subject to federal deposit insurance, in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent of amounts recorded on the condensed balance sheet. The cash accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively,2021, the Company has noCompany's cash balances in excess ofbalance did not exceed the FDIC insured limits.limit.

 

For accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience with the customer, evaluation of their credit history, and review of the invoicing terms of the contract. Accounts receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts when applicable. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance at each reporting date. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. The Company recognized bad debt expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 20192021 and 20182020 of $0 and $13,857,$0, respectively. In addition, the balance of allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 20192021 and 20182020 of $245,240 and $245,240, respectively.respectively

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists primarily of hosting, product development, infrastructure costs and the salaries and benefits related to employees in software engineering, facilities-related expenses, and information technology associated with supporting those functions. Hosting costs consist of content streaming, maintaining our internet service and creating and serving advertisements through third-party advertisingad servers. The Company makes payments to third-party advertisingad servers in the period in which the advertising impressions are delivered or click-through actions occur, and accordingly records this as a cost of revenue in the related period. The Company incurs product development expenses primarily for improvements to the Company’s website, the apps, development of new advertising products and development and enhancement of the guide and streaming system. Product development costs are generally expensed as incurred. Certain website development and internal use software development costs may be capitalized when specific criteria are met. In such cases, the capitalized amounts are amortized to cost of revenue over the useful life of the related application once the application is placed in service.

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing consist primarily of contracts with third-party operators as well as employee-related costs, including, salaries,and commissions and benefits related to employees in sales, sales support and marketing departments. In addition, sales and marketing expenses include external sales and marketing expenses such as third-party marketing, branding, advertising, public relations expenses, commissions, facilities-related expenses, and infrastructure costs. Formally, commissions include amounts paid to Telebrands, however the relationship with other third-party websites for customer acquisition when the customer clicks through to the Company and signs up for service still receive commission.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”,the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. Cash, cash equivalents and accounts payable are accounted for at costs which approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes payables also approximate fair value since they bear market rates of interest and other terms. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

Income Taxes

 

The Company providesaccounts for income taxes usingfinancial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the asset and liability approach. Deferred taxinputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are recorded based on the differences between the financial statementnot active, and tax bases ofmodel-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 — assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differenceswhose significant value drivers are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

unobservable.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings (loss) per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following table provides the number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive, for the years ended June 30, 20192021 and 2018,2020, respectively.

Employee Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation issued to employees and members of our board of directors is measured at the date of grant based on the estimated fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of a stock-based award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award on a straight-line basis. The Company will recognize compensation expense, measured as the fair value of the stock-based compensation on grant date, when a performance condition is considered probable of occurring. For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock-based compensation issued to employees, the Company performs an analysis of current market data and historical data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, the Company uses these estimates as variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of warrants granted any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our Statements of Operations. In addition, any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on our financial statements.

F-10

Stock Based CompensationRecently Issued to Nonemployees

Stock based awards issued to non-employees for acquiring goods or providing services are recognized at fair value when the goods are obtained or over the service period. If the award contains performance conditions, the measurement date of the award is the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the non-employee is reached or the date at which performance is reached. A performance commitment is reached when performance by the non-employee is probable because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)or ASU 2014-09. The objective of the ASU is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, which supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the ASU, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The five-step analysis consists of the following: (i) identifying the contract with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB’s ASC. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company reviewed all contracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-13,Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2018. Effective in 2019, the Company has evaluated an immaterial impact this standard will have on these financial statements.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)(Topic326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. In addition, an entity will have to disclose significantly more information about allowances, credit quality indicators and past due securities. The Company expects to adopt the new standard on July 1, 2019 and use the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before July 1, 2019.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established ASU 2016-02(Topic 842), Leases, which requires lessees to now recognize operating leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

The new standard was effective for the Company onbeginning July 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either: (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application.2020, including interim periods within those annual periods, The Company adopted the newthis standard on July 1, 2019 and used the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before July 1, 2019.determined there is no impact or material adjustments.

 


In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) ("ASU 2019-12"): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicableeliminates certain exceptions related to the Company.

Whileapproach for intraperiod tax allocation, the Company assessed all of the effects of adoption, it currently believes the most significant effects relate to: (1)methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for its operating leases; (2) providing significant new disclosures about its leasing activities.

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for its corporate office leases and garage leases. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or leasedeferred tax liabilities for existing short-term leasesoutside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those assets in transition.

The Company also electedfiscal years. We are currently evaluating the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for allpotential impact of its leases.

All other issued and not yet effective accounting standards are not relevant tothis standard on our financial statements.

 

In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.

F-13 

The amendments were adopted by the Company for the fiscal year beginning after July 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company evaluated ASU 2018-13 and its impact on its financial statements and determined ASU 2018-13 had no impact on the Company financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Voting Trust Agreement

On October 15, 2012, we entered into a Voting Trust Agreement (“Voting Trust Agreement”) with Telebrands Corp. (“Telebrands”) and William A. Mobley, Jr. The Voting Trust Agreement appoints William A. Mobley, Jr. as the trustee of all the shares of our common stock that Telebrands owns at any time (the “Entrusted Shares”). Telebrands currently owns 4,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, Mr. Mobley is entitled to exercise all rights relating to the voting and disposition of the Entrusted Shares, provided, however, Mr. Mobley is not allowed to effect a disposition or permit registration of the Entrusted Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities administrators unless Nextelligence, Inc., which is majority owned and controlled by Mr. Mobley, simultaneously effects a disposition or permits registration of an identical proportion of our voting securities of the Company that Nextelligence holds on the same terms and conditions. In addition, William A. Mobley, Jr. may not permit a disposition or registration of any voting securities of the Company that Nextelligence holds unless he simultaneously effects a disposition or registration of an identical proportion of the Entrusted Shares on the same terms and conditions.

The term of such trust ends upon the earlier of, Mr. Mobley’s ceasing to be an affiliate of our Company, as defined in the Voting Trust Agreement, or the disposition of all of the Entrusted Shares.

We are obligated to indemnify Mr. Mobley against any liabilities, damages, claims, taxes, deficiencies, assessments, losses, penalties, interest, costs and expenses paid or incurred by him in connection with the Voting Trust Agreement, unless those paid or incurred are a result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Mr. Mobley.

Note 7 – Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the new tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, was enacted, which significantly changed the existing U.S. tax laws, including a reduction in the corporate Federal income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company was required to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment even though certain key aspects of the new law became effective January 1, 2018. The Company used a blended statutory Federal income rate of 27.5% based upon a number of days that it will be taxed at the former rate of 34% and the number of days it will be taxed at the new rate of 21% to calculate its most recent effective tax rate.

In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No, 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Act (“SAB118”), which allows us to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment. The Company remeasured its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017, applying the reduced corporate income tax rate and recorded a provisional decrease to the deferred tax assets of $1,544,351 with a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our analysis to determine the effect of the Tax Act and there were no material adjustments as of June 30, 2018.


At June 30, 2019, the Company has approximately $7,915,320 of operating loss carryforwards for both federal and Florida state tax purposes that may be applied against future taxable income. Of the $7.9 million of net operating losses, $4.8 million will begin to expire in the year 2032 if not utilized prior to that date. The remaining amount of $3.1 million will be limited in use to 80% of current year taxable income but will not have an expiration date. There is no provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $274,622 during the year 2019 and decreased by approximately $796,775 during the years 2018. The deferred tax assets are approximately $3,127,000 and $2,852,000 at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

A reconciliation of the statutory U.S. Federal rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

  June 30, 
  2019  2018 
Federal income tax benefit at statutory rate  21.0%  27.50%
State income tax, net of federal benefits  4.3%  21.70%
Permanent items  -   -%
Impact of tax law change  -%  (100.03)%
Other  -   -%
Change in valuation allowance  (25.3)%  51.10%
Provision from income taxes      - 


The tax effect of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portion of the deferred tax assets were as follows:

  June 30, 
  2019  2018 
Net Operating loss carryforwards - Federal $1,662,317  $1,412,119 
Net Operating loss carryforwards - State  343,921   292,174 
Stock based compensation  755,624   747,263 
Deferred Revenue  254,303   291,903 
Accrued Liabilities  54,750   53,230 
Depreciation and Amortization  1,845   1,349 
Allowance for doubtful accounts  54,111   54,111 
Valuation allowance  (3,126,771)  (2,852,149)
Net deferred tax assets $-  $- 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income to allow for the utilization of the deductible temporary difference carryforwards. At this time, based on current facts and circumstances, management believes that is not likely that the Company will realize the benefits for its deferred tax assets, and a valuation allowance has been recorded on the same.

The Company does not have any recorded unrecognized tax benefit for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2019 and 2018.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

MARCH 31, 2020

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

FreeCast, Inc. (the “Company”) developed and markets an interactive digital media guide that facilitates access to a virtual library of entertainment media. The Company is based in Orlando, Florida and was founded in 2011 as a Florida Corporation. The Company’s primary products are SmartGuide and Select TV. Both SmartGuide and Select TV utilize the Company-designed proprietary technology that searches, and aggregates internet distributed streaming media into an electronic media guide. SmartGuide is licensable to brands/manufacturers of devices with large online user bases, while Select TV is a retail package that is sold by monthly and/or annual subscriptions.

Going Concern

The Company’s has incurred recurring losses from operations since inception, accumulating a deficit of approximately $14.62 million as of March 31, 2020. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,785,196 and $481,589, respectively. The Company may incur additional losses and negative operating cash flows in the future. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, reduce spending or raise additional capital could adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

Since the inception of the Company in 2011, the operations of the Company have been funded primarily through sales of common stock to private investors, debt financing and exchange of common stock for services received by the Company. Management cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Company’s ability to conduct business.

The accompanying financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the remaining 2020 fiscal year, management intends to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund future operations and to provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company’s needs. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the financial position and result of operations for the periods presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2019, including the notes thereto.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) or ASU 2014-09. The objective of the ASU is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, which supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the ASU Topic 606, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The five-step analysis consists of the following: (i) identifying the contract with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Topic 606 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB’s ASC. The Company adopted Topic 606 effective July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company reviewed all contracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


The Company generates membership revenue through the renewal sales of Rabbit TV, Rabbit TV Plus, new and renewal sales through Select TV, which operates as the successor product to Rabbit TV and Rabbit TV Plus, as well as the SmartGuide, an internet distributed streaming media guide that searches and aggregates media content on the web and facilitates access to its customers through Wi-Fi-enabled devices that support streaming video. The Company both retransmits and “ingests” and distributes content.

Membership revenue is derived from online sales through search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), various marketing advertising services, the utilization of resellers in the form of publishers that promote upcoming retail promotions and packages, as well as, direct sales to members (Select TV, Rabbit TV Plus). Currently, a Rabbit TV Plus account only generates renewal sales, as 100% of new sales are being met by the Select TV media guide. Select TV and Rabbit TV Plus also include free access to the Rabbit TV Mobile app, for Android and iOS devices.

Membership revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the duration of the membership period, generally ranging from one month to five years. If the member renews early, then the expiration date is extended by the renewal period, and the additional membership fee is deferred and amortized over the additional months purchased by the member. All membership fees are collected at the time of purchase.

Beginning in 2020, in conjunction with the release of the Company's new product, the Company started recognizing significant contracts with customers requiring performance up to delivery, as well as contracts with customers that contain a membership portion that causes revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer. Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. For the Company’s physical product sales, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as amended,Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than twelve months regardless of whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a financing lease.

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective approach, applying the current-period adjustment method. Under the transition guidance of the modified retrospective approach there are a number of optional practical expedients made available to simplify the transition of the new standard. The Company has elected the following:

The condensed consolidated balance sheets for reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. The Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption of $22.

The Company has elected to utilize the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in the standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) historical lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs.

The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for all asset classes.

The Company has elected to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet.


Upon adoption, the Company recorded Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities relating to operating leases of $19,861 and $19,861, respectively. The changes did not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. The discount rates used to calculate the ROU assets and lease liabilities as of the effective date were based on the remaining lease terms as of the effective date. See Note 7 Leases, for the impact on the financial statements and related disclosures from the adoption of this standard.

Accounts Receivable

For accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience with the customer, evaluation of their credit history, and review of the invoicing terms of the contract. Accounts receivables are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts when applicable. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance at each reporting date. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. The Company did not recognize bad debt expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The balance of allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 of $245,240 and $245,240, respectively.

Inventory

Merchandise inventory consists solely of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the amount recognized as inventory aggregated $15,243, and $0, respectively. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and our ability to sell the product(s) concerned. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market conditions or other factors, which may result in a reduction in the rate of orders and reorders placed by customers. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the reserve for inventory obsolescence aggregated $0 and $0, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings (loss) per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase would be anti-dilutive.

The following table provides the number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted income per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive, for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-13,Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. In addition, an entity will have to disclose significantly more information about allowances, credit quality indicators and past due securities. The standard is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

The Company currently has two active leases, an office lease, as well as an office copier under non-cancellable operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from one1 to three3 years. At contract inception, the Company reviews the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to determine if the contract is or contains a lease. The Company follows the guidance in Topic 842 to evaluate whether the contract has an identified asset; if the Company has the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset; and if the Company has the right to direct use of the underlying asset. When determining if a contract has an identified asset, the Company considers both explicit and implicit assets, and whether the supplier has the right to substitute the asset. When determining if the Company has the right to direct the use of an underlying asset, the Company considers if they have the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use and if they control the decision-making right over the asset.

 

The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company exercises judgment to determine the term of those leases when extension or termination options are present and include such options in the calculation of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise those options.

 

The Company has elected to include both lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease payments. Payments made to a lessor for items such as taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, or other costs commonly referred to as executory costs, are also included in lease payments if they are fixed. The fixed portion of these payments are included in the calculation of the lease liability, while any variable portion would be recognized as variable lease expenses, when incurred. Variable payments made to third parties for these, or similar costs, such as utilities, are not included in the calculation of lease payments.

 

At commencement, lease-related assets and liabilities are measured at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company exercises judgment in determining the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at when the lease commences to measure the present value of future payments.

 

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease cost includes amortization, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the leased asset, and interest expense, which is recognized following an effective interest rate method.

 

Operating leases are included in other assets, current operating lease obligations, and operating lease obligations (less current portion) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment and current and long-term portion of finance lease obligations on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Short term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not presented on the balance sheet with expense recognized as incurred.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income to allow for the utilization of the deductible temporary difference carryforwards. At this time, based on current facts and circumstances, management believes that is not likely that the Company will realize the benefits for its deferred tax assets, and a valuation allowance has been recorded on the same.

The Company does not have any recorded unrecognized tax benefit for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Except as described below, the Company has concluded that no subsequent event has occurred that requires disclosure.

 

Effective May 29, 2020,In the Company entered to an employment agreement with Jonathan D. Morris to serve as the Company's Chief Financial Officer. In conjunction with Mr. Morris entering into the employment agreement, the Company sold Mr. Morris, for $50.00, a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, exercisable at $1.75 per share. The warrant vests ratably over 12 monthsperiod from the effective date of the employment agreement, and expires 36 months after the effective date. Mr. Morris also has the option to receive additional warrants in lieu of a pro-rated portion of his annual salary on a one warrant per $1 basis. Each such additional warrant will also have an exercise price of $1.75, vest immediately and expire 36 months fromJuly 1, 2021, through the date of issuance.issuance of these financial statements, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Private Placement Memorandum dated June 2021, the Company has entered into subscription agreements to issue 1,105,000 shares of common stock for $2,210,000 of which the Company has received $1,910,000.

 

The recent outbreakOn July 16, 2021, the Company received notice of novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originated in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since spread throughout the world, including all 50 U.S. states. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and has forced us to reduce our on-site staff in compliance with Florida Governor’s Executive Order 20-91, which places restrictions on the movement of all Florida citizens. The Order took effect April 3, 2020 and was supposed to last until April 30, 2020. On April 29, 2020, the Order was extended indefinitely and revised to allow people to resume certain activities outsidefull forgiveness of the home beginning May 4, 2020 subject to certain prescribed social distancingloan, in which $89,900 in principal and other guidelines. We are continuing operations via online workspace software, and$1,050 in interest was fully forgiven in accordance with essential on-site shipping personnel to process current sales generated from our TV Infomercials.the terms of the Paycheck Protection Program.

 

Disruptions caused by COVID-19 and measures taken to prevent its spread or mitigate its effects both domestically and internationally have impacted our operating results. Since the date the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic, we have had a slight increase in the number of memberships sold, as well as a corresponding decrease in revenue per membership sold or renewed. We believe the increase in the number of members is a result of our increase in TV-based advertising since March 11, 2020, without increasing our overall advertising expenditures, due to our ability to acquire additional media spots at a reduced rate. We also believe the decrease in revenue per membership sold or renewed is related to the pandemic and governmental responses to the pandemic resulting in a slowdown of global economic activity, which has significantly impacted most consumers.

F-25 

 

So far, only one component of our growth strategy has also been impacted by COVID-19. We have postponed expanding our retail package offering into physical stores due to current social distancing guidelines and worldwide store closures. The pandemic has not had an impact on our ability to implement our other growth strategies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the capital markets, and, in certain cases, restricted the ability of companies to access the capital markets and other sources of financing. Our ability to obtain additional financing that we may choose to, or need to, obtain could be more difficult and/or expensive, and we may not be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. However, we believe that our cash on hand, the cash we expect to generate from our operations and cash from financing sources available to us are and will continue to meet our cash requirements.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Pursuant to Section 607.0850 of the Florida Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of being a director or officer of the Registrant, or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law.

 

With regard to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the common shares being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
