Basis of Presentation and Description of Business The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments and transactions or events discretely impacting the interim periods, considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2020 Form 10-K.

In March 2020, our Board of Directors decided to suspend all China operations generated by the former CEO, Michael Wang. The results of China operations are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as net loss from discontinued operations. On March 19, 2020, Jiangxi PDN Culture Media Co., Ltd. (“Jiangxi PDN”), a company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and a variable interest entity (VIE) controlled by Professional Diversity Network, Inc.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Going Concern and Management’s Plans	2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans At September 30, 2021, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were its cash and cash equivalents and the net proceeds from the sale of common stock during the third quarter of 2021. The Company had an accumulated deficit of ($ 94,509,710 ) at September 30, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company generated a net loss from continuing operations of ($ 88,385 ) and ($ 1,433,612 ). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company used cash in continuing operations of $ 1,159,745 . At September 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $ 4,092,473 . Total revenues were approximately $ 4,628,032 and $ 3,239,649 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Total revenues were approximately $ 1,683,015 and $ 1,305,522 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company had a working capital surplus from continuing operations of approximately $ 1,019,410 and a working capital deficiency of approximately ($ 1,156,000 ) at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that its available cash on hand and cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the twelve-month period subsequent to the issuance of our financial statements. In order to accomplish our business plan objectives, the Company will need to continue its cost reduction efforts, increase revenues, raising capital through the issuance of common stock, or through a strategic merger or acquisition. However, there can be no assurances that our business plans and actions will be successful, that we will generate anticipated revenues, or that unforeseen circumstances will not require additional funding sources in the future or effectuate plans to conserve liquidity. Future efforts to improve liquidity through the issuance of our common stock may not be successful or they may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into a private placement with Ms. Yiran Gu, in which the Company sold 500,000 2.00 1,000,000 On July 9, 2021 the Company closed the registered direct offering, pursuant to which certain institutional accredited investors purchased 1,470,588 0.01 2,499,999.60 On September 22, 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Cosmic Forward Limited, in which the Company sold 948,767 1.05 1,000,000

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation Use of Estimates – The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future intervening events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates underlying the financial statements include the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions; the assessment of goodwill for impairment, intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment; allowances for doubtful accounts and assumptions related to the valuation allowances on deferred taxes, impact of applying the revised federal tax rates on deferred taxes, the valuation of stock-based compensation and the valuation of stock warrants. Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash Equivalents Accounts Receivable 112,000 157,000 Incremental Direct Costs 102,000 78,000 33,000 26,000 Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost, including any cost to place the property into service, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which currently range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost of any assets sold or retired and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts at the time of disposition, and any resulting profit or loss is reflected in income or expense for the period. Depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $ 24,000 and $ 69,000 and for three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $ 6,000 and $ 18,000 , and is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Lease Obligations On September 23, 2020, the Company entered into a new office lease agreement for its corporate headquarters. The office lease is for 4,902 84 Capitalized Technology Costs Business Combinations - ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations to all acquisitions where the acquirer gains a controlling interest, regardless of whether consideration was exchanged. ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Accounting for acquisitions requires the Company to recognize, separately from goodwill, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis (December 31 for the Company) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company considers its market capitalization and the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, including goodwill, when performing its goodwill impairment test. When conducting its annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company initially performs a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined by a qualitative evaluation that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company then compares the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit to its carrying or book value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will measure any goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Treasury Stock Discontinued Operations China Operations The Company previously disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”) and subsequently that the assets of PDN China were frozen by Chinese local authorities in November 2019 in connection with the criminal investigation of alleged illegal public fund raising by Gatewang Group (the “Gatewang Case”), a separate company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Gatewang”), with which Mr. Maoji (Michael) Wang, the former Chairman and CEO of the Company was affiliated. A subsequent investigation led by a special committee of the Board concluded that it did not find any evidence that the Company or PDN China has engaged in the criminal activity of illegal fund-raising as alleged against Gatewang. The Company subsequently discontinued all of its operations in China. The Company also previously disclosed in the 2019 Form 10-K that although the seizure of PDN ‎China’s assets had been lifted in March 2020, however on April 22, 2021, the Company learned that RMB 18,841,064.15 (approximately $ 2.9 million) had been seized from the PDN China Account by Longxu District Court of Wuzhou City in Guangxi Province to satisfy a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the Gatewang Case. On April 26, 2021, the Company concluded that the seizure of such cash assets is a material reduction of Company assets required to be reported by this filing. The Company has reflected the seizure of these cash funds in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021.

Concentrations of Credit Risk Income Taxes ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC 740-20 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company may be subject to potential income tax examinations by federal or state authorities. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. Management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. Tax years that remain open for assessment for federal and state tax purposes include the years ended December 31, 2017 through 2020. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues:
Revenue Recognition	5. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle of ASC 606, to depict the transfer of control to its customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company has applied the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts with customers may provide for multiple promised goods and services. The Company typically analyzes the contract and identifies the performance obligations by evaluating whether the promised goods and services are capable of being distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. Promised goods and services that are not distinct at contract inception are combined. The next step after identifying the performance obligations is determining the transaction price, which includes the impact of variable consideration, based on contractually fixed amounts and an estimation of variable consideration. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative stand-alone selling price. Judgment is exercised to determine the stand-alone selling price of each distinct performance obligation. The Company estimates the standalone selling price by reference to the total transaction price less the sum of the observable stand-alone selling prices of other goods or services promised in the contract. In general, transaction price is determined by estimating the fixed amount of consideration to which we are entitled for transfer of goods and services and all relevant sources and components of variable consideration. Any variable consideration is estimated by the Company based on the expected value approach. The Company will then estimate variable consideration for a particular type of performance obligation, such method is consistently applied. The Company will constrain estimates of variable consideration based on its expectation of recovery from the customer. Revenues are generally recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to their customers either at a point in time or over time, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Many of the Company’s contracts have one performance obligation and all consideration is allocated to that performance obligation and recognized at a point in time contemporaneous when the service is performed or with the date of the event. The Company may have contracts where there is an extended timing difference between payment and the time when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer. The Company has adopted the practical expedient and does not adjust for the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Nature of Goods and Services The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue: Membership Fees and Related Services Membership fees of longer than one month are collected up-front and member benefits become available immediately; however those benefits must remain available over the 12-month membership period. At the time of enrollment, membership fees are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue ratably over the 12-month membership period. Members who are enrolled in this plan may cancel their membership in the program at any time and receive a partial refund (amount remaining in deferred revenue) or due to consumer protection legislation, a full refund based on the policies of the member’s credit card company. The Company also offers monthly memberships for which it collects fees on a monthly basis and recognizes revenue in the same month as the fees are collected. Revenue from related membership services are derived from fees for development and set-up of a member’s personal on-line profile and/or press release announcements. Fees related to these services are recognized as revenue at the time the on-line profile is complete and press release is distributed. Recruitment Services The Company’s recruitment services revenue is derived from the Company’s agreements through single and multiple job postings, recruitment media, talent recruitment communities, basic and premier corporate memberships, hiring campaign marketing and advertising, e-newsletter marketing and research and outreach services. Recruitment revenue includes revenue recognized from direct sales to customers for recruitment services and events, as well as revenue from the Company’s direct e-commerce sales. Direct sales to customers are most typically a twelve-month contract for services and as such the revenue for each contract is recognized ratably over its twelve-month term. Event revenue is recognized in the period that the event takes place and e-commerce sales are for sixty to ninety day job postings and the revenue from those sales are recognized when the service is provided. The Company’s recruitment services mainly consist of the following products: ● On-line job postings to our diversity sites and to our broader network of websites including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma and many other partner organizations; ● OFCCP job promotion and recordation services; ● Diversity job fairs, both in person and virtual fairs; ● Diversity recruitment job advertising services; ● Cost per application, a service that employers can purchase whereby PDN sources qualified candidates and charges only for those applicants who meet the employers’ minimum qualifications; and ● Diversity executive staffing services. Product Sales and Other Revenue Products offered to members relate to custom made plaques. Product sales are recognized as deferred revenue at the time the initial order is placed. Revenue is then recognized at the time these products are shipped. The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Revenues generated from contracts entered into to provide software solutions are recognized as work is performed and invoiced to customers at the beginning of the following month with payment typically due within 14 days. Consumer Advertising and Marketing Solutions The Company provides career opportunity services to its various partner organizations through advertising and job postings on their websites. The Company works with its partners to develop customized websites and job boards where the partners can generate advertising, job postings and career services to their members, students and alumni. Consumer advertising and marketing solutions revenue is recognized as jobs are posted to their hosted sites. Disaggregation of revenue Revenue is disaggregated by product line and timing of transfer of products and services and is in line with our reportable segments as described in Note 13 - Segment Reporting. Contract Balances The Company’s rights to consideration for work completed, but not billed at the reporting date, is classified as a receivable, as it has an unconditional right to payment or only conditional for the passage of time. The Company has no Consideration received in advance from customers is recorded as a contract liability, if a contract exists under ASC 606, until services are delivered or obligations are met and revenue is earned. Contract liability represents the excess of amounts invoiced over amounts recognized as revenues. Contract liabilities to be recognized in the succeeding twelve-month period are classified as current contract liabilities and the remaining amounts, if any, are classified as non-current contract liabilities. Contract liabilities of approximately $ 2,004 ,000 are included in current deferred revenues, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized revenue associated with contract liabilities of approximately $ 1,068 ,000 that were included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations The Company applies the optional exemptions and does not disclose: a) information about remaining performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less or b) transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for which variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation in accordance with the series guidance. The typical duration of all event related and other contracts is one year or less and, as a result, the Company applies the optional exemptions and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The Company has also elected to not disclose transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for which variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service for event related promises for those contracts that contain percentage of the sales. The fees are variable for this type of contract, and the uncertainty related to the final fee, is resolved within the current year.

Stock-Based Compensation	11. Stock-Based Compensation Equity Incentive Plans 225,000 915,000 585,000 1,500,000 Stock Options The fair value of options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation determined by the Black-Scholes pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant, volatility is based on the average long-term implied volatilities of peer companies, the expected life is based on the estimated average of the life of options using the simplified method, and forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant based on certain historical data. The Company utilizes the simplified method to determine the expected life of its options due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years as a basis from which to estimate future exercise patterns. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Schedule of Stock Option Activity Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Average Contractual Aggregate Number of Exercise Life Intrinsic Options Price (in Years) Value Outstanding - January 1, 2021 66,126 $ 5.24 8.3 $ Granted 30,000 2.10 9.7 Exercised - - - Forfeited (30,000 ) 3.69 - Outstanding - September 30 2021 66,126 $ 4.52 8.6 $ - Exercisable at September 30, 2021 36,126 $ 6.53 6.6 $ - Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Average Contractual Aggregate Number of Exercise Life Intrinsic Options Price (in Years) Value Outstanding - January 1, 2020 295,793 $ 8.88 7.5 $ Granted 30,000 3.69 9.7 Exercised - - - Forfeited (259,667 ) 9.21 - Outstanding - September 30, 2020 66,126 $ 5.24 8.6 $ - Exercisable at September 30, 2020 26,126 $ 8.18 4.2 $ - Total unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options at September 30, 2021 was approximately $ 0 Warrants As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 125,000 20.00 0 December 30, 2021 Restricted Stock As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the following is a summary of restricted stock activity: Schedule of Restricted Stock Award Activity Number of Shares Outstanding - January 1, 2021 233,875 Granted 59,524 Forfeited - Vested (133,875 ) Outstanding - September 30, 2021 159,524 Number of Shares Outstanding - January 1, 2020 27,319 Granted 306,775 Forfeited - Vested (127,319 ) Outstanding - September 30, 2020 206,775 Additionally, the Company had no non-cash pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations, pertaining to restricted stock.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	12. Income Taxes The Company’s quarterly income tax provision is based upon an estimated annual income tax rate. The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes also includes the tax impact of discrete items, if any, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $ 1,724 13,612 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a benefit for income tax of $ 18,767 32,033 . The decrease in income tax benefit during the current nine-month period was primarily due to an increase in discrete tax items associated with litigation settlement reserves and changes in the Company’s net operating losses. 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 income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a valuation allowance as of September 30, 2021. The valuation allowance at September 30, 2021 was approximately $ 8,951,000 313,000

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates – The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future intervening events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates underlying the financial statements include the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions; the assessment of goodwill for impairment, intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment; allowances for doubtful accounts and assumptions related to the valuation allowances on deferred taxes, impact of applying the revised federal tax rates on deferred taxes, the valuation of stock-based compensation and the valuation of stock warrants.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable 112,000 157,000
Incremental Direct Costs	Incremental Direct Costs 102,000 78,000 33,000 26,000
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost, including any cost to place the property into service, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which currently range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost of any assets sold or retired and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts at the time of disposition, and any resulting profit or loss is reflected in income or expense for the period. Depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $ 24,000 and $ 69,000 and for three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $ 6,000 and $ 18,000 , and is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalized Technology Costs	Capitalized Technology Costs
Business Combinations	Business Combinations - ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations to all acquisitions where the acquirer gains a controlling interest, regardless of whether consideration was exchanged. ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Accounting for acquisitions requires the Company to recognize, separately from goodwill, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis (December 31 for the Company) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company considers its market capitalization and the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, including goodwill, when performing its goodwill impairment test. When conducting its annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company initially performs a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If it is determined by a qualitative evaluation that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company then compares the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit to its carrying or book value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will measure any goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations China Operations The Company previously disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”) and subsequently that the assets of PDN China were frozen by Chinese local authorities in November 2019 in connection with the criminal investigation of alleged illegal public fund raising by Gatewang Group (the “Gatewang Case”), a separate company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Gatewang”), with which Mr. Maoji (Michael) Wang, the former Chairman and CEO of the Company was affiliated. A subsequent investigation led by a special committee of the Board concluded that it did not find any evidence that the Company or PDN China has engaged in the criminal activity of illegal fund-raising as alleged against Gatewang. The Company subsequently discontinued all of its operations in China. The Company also previously disclosed in the 2019 Form 10-K that although the seizure of PDN ‎China’s assets had been lifted in March 2020, however on April 22, 2021, the Company learned that RMB 18,841,064.15 (approximately $ 2.9 million) had been seized from the PDN China Account by Longxu District Court of Wuzhou City in Guangxi Province to satisfy a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the Gatewang Case. On April 26, 2021, the Company concluded that the seizure of such cash assets is a material reduction of Company assets required to be reported by this filing. The Company has reflected the seizure of these cash funds in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021. The Company has asserted its claim to these funds as the genuine owner to the Chinese officials and asked for their return. The Company plans to pursue all possible legal alternatives to have these funds returned to the Company but such return is uncertain at this time. All historical operating results for the Company’s China operations are included in a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, loss from discontinued operations was approximately $( 11,000 72,000 29,000 157,000 Assets and liabilities of China operations are now included in current assets and long-term assets from discontinued operations, and current liabilities and long-term liabilities from discontinued operations.

Advertising and Marketing Expenses	Advertising and Marketing Expenses – Advertising and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred or the first time the advertising takes place. The production costs of advertising are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred advertising and marketing expenses of approximately $ 198,000 and $ 608,000 , as compared to approximately $ 174,000 and $ 511,000 in the same periods of the fiscal 2020. These amounts are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no prepaid advertising expenses recorded in the accompanying balance sheets.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk
Income Taxes	Income Taxes ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC 740-20 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company may be subject to potential income tax examinations by federal or state authorities. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. Management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. Tax years that remain open for assessment for federal and state tax purposes include the years ended December 31, 2017 through 2020. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no

This ASU was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
