Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes present the historical condensed combined financial information of Bright Mountain Media, Inc. (herein referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” and similar terms unless the context indicates otherwise) and News Distribution Network, Inc., (“NDN”), after giving effect to the acquisition of NDN that was completed on November 18, 2019, (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to which, the Company entered into a share exchange and plan of merger. NDN was created as a legal entity on November 16, 2019 as the result of an inversion transaction by Inform, Inc. In the inversion transaction, NDN was spun-off and certain assets and liabilities were transferred to this new entity. Due to the timing of the new creation of NDN, as a spin-off of Inform, Inc., historical financial statements of NDN do not exist, therefore the financial statements of Inform, Inc. are presented within this filing and as exhibits. All references to NDN’s historical activities herein are those of Inform, Inc. The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the guidance contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805,Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the acquisition of NDN based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2019. The unaudited condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018 are presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflecting the transaction have been prepared in accordance with the guidance for business combinations presented in ASC 805, and reflect the allocation of our purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition based on their estimated fair values. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on our combined results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the Acquisition had been affected on the dates previously set forth, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position in combination. Our purchase price allocation was made using our best estimates of fair value, which are dependent upon certain valuation and other analyses. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, cost savings or transaction and integration costs that may result from the Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and their accompanying notes presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as well as the historical financial statements of NDN for the year ended December 31, 2018 and unaudited financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019.

(“NDN”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of equity interests of NDN. NDN was created as a legal entity on November 16, 2019 as the result of an inversion transaction by Inform, Inc. In the inversion transaction, NDN was spun-off and certain assets and liabilities were transferred to this new entity. Due to the timing of the new creation of NDN, as a spin-off of Inform, Inc., historical financial statements of NDN do not exist, therefore the financial statements of Inform, Inc. are presented within this filing and as exhibits. All references to NDN’s historical activities herein are those of Inform, Inc. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at September 30, 2019 combines our historical condensed consolidated balance sheet with the historical condensed balance sheet of NDN as if the Acquisition had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018 combine our historical condensed consolidated statements of operations with the condensed consolidated statements of operations of NDN as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019. The historical financial information is adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on our combined results.
2. Consideration Transferred
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, which was effective November 18, 2019, we issued 16,719,194 shares valued at $36,241,150 to shareholders of NDN, 5,375,694 shares and 7,909,734 warrants to note holders valued at $8,817,485 and 7,647,942, respectively. These shares have not yet been issued due the lack of identification of how certain shares are to be registered for the respective shareholders. NDN was created as a spin-off entity on November 16, 2019 as the result of in inversion. As a component of the inversion transaction $3,350,000 of convertible notes payable was converted into common stock of NDN, which was then converted into 1,914,286 shares of Bright Mountain common stock and 4,972,896 common stock warrants. The price of our shares on the date of the acquisition was $1.64 per share.
The table below summarizes the value of the total consideration given in the transaction.

3. Purchase Price Allocation
Under the acquisition method of accounting outlined in ASC 805, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition are recorded at their Acquisition-date fair values and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial position. Our unaudited pro forma adjustments based on the fair value for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed to illustrate the estimated effect of the Acquisition on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2019.
As part of the acquisition, the Company is not assuming any of the debt associated with NDN, except for accounts payable balances not to exceed $4,000,000. NDN is a spin-off entity of Inform, Inc. as the result of an inversion transaction effective November 16, 2019 and under the terms and conditions of that spin-off, debtholders have the option of either becoming debtholders of NDN or remaining as debtholders of Inform, Inc. Those debtholders opting to be part of NDN, are also choosing to convert their debt into shares of NDN which convert into common shares of the Company upon the acquisition. $3,350,000 of convertible notes payable was converted into common stock of NDN, which was then converted into 1,914,286 shares of Bright Mountain common stock and 4,972,896 common stock warrants. The shareholders of Inform also had the option of remaining with the existing company or becoming shareholders in the newly formed NDN. The amount of notes payable to Bright Mountain are eliminated in the consolidation of NDN within the consolidated financial statements of Bright Mountain Media, Inc. Accordingly, the debt of NDN as reported within the proforma balance sheet of NDN above, is excluded from the consolidated balance sheet on a proforma basis.
The stock option and stock warrant holders of NDN have the ability upon election to remain option or warrant holders of Inform, Inc. or to exercise their options/warrants prior to the closing and thus become shareholders of the Company as a result of the share exchange.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Acquisition:
| | Amount | | | Weighted Average Life (Years) | |
| | | | | | |
Tangible assets acquired | | $ | 1,193,313 | | | | | |
Liabilities assumed | | | (7,612,476 | ) | | | | |
Tradename - trademarks | | | 923,600 | | | | 5 | |
Intellectual property / technology | | | 4,930,000 | | | | 10 | |
Customer relationships | | | 8,690,000 | | | | 5 | |
Non-compete agreements | | | 837,100 | | | | 3 | |
Goodwill | | | 36,991,147 | | | | Indefinite | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 45,952,684 | | | | | |
Our unaudited pro forma purchase price allocation includes certain identifiable intangible assets with an estimated fair value of approximately $15,380,700. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was estimated using a combination of asset-based and income-based valuation methodologies. The asset-based valuation methodology established a fair value estimate based on the cost of replacing the asset, less amortization from functional use and economic obsolescence, if present and measurable. The income-based valuation methodology utilizes a discounted cash flow technique where the expected future economic benefits of ownership of an asset are discounted back to present value. This valuation technique requires us to make certain assumptions about, including, but not limited to, future operating performance and cash flow, and other such variables which are discounted to present value using a discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with future cash flow, the characteristics of the assets acquired, and the experience of the acquired business. Such estimates are subject to change, possibly materially, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.
4. Transaction Costs
As consideration for the act of a finder’s fee, Bright Mountain Media, Inc. has agreed to pay Spartan Capital Securities, LLC, a broker-deal and member of FINRA, a finder’s fee equal to 660,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In accordance with ASC 805, costs associated with these fees are expensed as incurred.
