Organization, Nature of Operations, and Principles of Consolidation | 1. Organization, Nature of Operations, and Principles of Consolidation Gaia, Inc. operates a global digital video subscription service and on-line community that caters to a unique and underserved member base. Our digital content library includes over 10,000 titles, with a growing selection of titles available in Spanish, German and French. Our members have unlimited access to this vast library of inspiring films, cutting edge documentaries, interviews, yoga classes, transformation-related content, and more – 80% of which is exclusively available to our members for digital streaming on most internet-connected devices anytime, anywhere, commercial free. Our mission is to create a transformational network that empowers a global conscious community. Content on our network is currently curated into four primary channels— Yoga, Transformation, Alternative Healing, and Seeking Truth— and delivered directly to our members through our streaming platform. We curate programming for these channels by producing content in our in-house production studios with a staff of media professionals. This produced and owned content currently represents approximately 75% of our viewership. We complement our produced and owned content through long-term licensing agreements. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and they include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods disclosed in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. On December 22, 2021, Gaia completed the acquisition of Yoga International, Inc. (“Yoga International”). Yoga International was founded by the Himalayan Institute in 1991, as a print magazine considered by many to be an authentic voice of yoga in the West. In 2013, Yoga International transformed into a digital-only publication, and over the past 8 years has evolved into an online platform for yoga practice and education, with more than 60% of its current membership outside the United States. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information regarding the Yoga International acquisition. Use of Estimates and Reclassifications The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. We have made certain reclassifications to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentations. Discontinued Operations Yoga International historically had a line of business focused on one-time transactional course sales. With the launch of a premium membership tier that includes this content, this line of business is being discontinued in 2022 as the contractual commitments related to this line of business lapse. The course content will be utilized as part of the premium membership tier going forward. There are no other assets or liabilities associated with this revenue stream. As this represents a strategic shift with a major effect on our operations and financial results, we have presented the results of operations related to winding up this line of business as discontinued operations on the accompanying statement of operations. |
