LOOP MEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS
Loop Media, Inc. (the “Company”; formerly Interlink Plus, Inc.) is a Nevada corporation. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 11, 2015. On February 5, 2020, the Company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Loop Media Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation, closed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Loop Media, Inc. (“Loop”), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Loop with Loop as surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Loop in exchange for 152,823,970 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exchange ratio of 1:1. Loop was incorporated on May 18, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations now are focused on premium short-form video for businesses and consumers.
In connection with the Merger, on February 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Zixiao Chen (“Buyer”) for the sale of assets relating to the Company’s 2 major business segments: travel agency assistance services and convention services (collectively referred as, the “Business”). In consideration for the assets of the Business, Buyer transferred to the Company 2,000,000 shares of its common stock and agreed to assume and discharge any and all liabilities relating to the Business accruing up to the effective time of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The shares were retired and restored to the status of authorized and unissued shares.
On January 24, 2020 Loop merged ScreenPlay, Inc., a state of Washington corporation, with and into Loop. The certificate of merger was issued by the State of Washington on January 24, 2020 and the certificate of ownership and merger was issued by the State of Delaware on January 24, 2020. For accounting purposes, Loop was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Loop pursuant to which Loop was treated as the accounting acquirer, surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the Merger. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Loop and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScreenPlay, immediately following the consummation of this reverse merger transaction.
On June 8, 2020, a 1 for 1.5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock became effective. All share and per share information in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively adjusted for the effects of the reverse split for all periods presented.
Going Concern and Management’s Plans
As of March 31, 2021, the Company reported a cash balance of $1,101,480 and an accumulated deficit of $49,791,259. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $2,023,867. The Company has incurred net losses since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from debt and equity financing transactions. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of its debt and equity financing efforts.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the
7
recorded assets or classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s further implementation of the Company’s on-going and strategic plans, which include continuing to raise funds through equity and/or debt raises. Should the Company be unable to raise adequate funds, certain aspects of the on-going and strategic plans may require modification. Management is in the process of identifying sources of capital via strategic partnerships, debt refinancing and equity investments through one or more private placements.
The spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world in the first half of 2020 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. While the pandemic could ultimately lead to a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company, at the time of issuance, the extent of the impact is uncertain. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's future operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of filing this report.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 15, 2021.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with US GAAP. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of other equity and debt instruments, fair value of intangible assets, recoverability of license content assets, and useful lives of assets.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to its customers. Periodically, the Company reviews past due accounts and makes decisions about future credit on a customer by customer basis. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company’s concentration of credit risk was not significant as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

License Content Asset
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-02, Entertainment—Films—Other Assets—Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment—Broadcasters—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, on a prospective basis. The Company capitalizes the fixed content fees and its corresponding liability when the license period begins, the cost of the content is known, and the content is accepted and available for streaming. The Company amortizes licensed content assets into cost of revenue, using the straight-line method over the contractual period of availability. The liability is paid in accordance with the contractual terms of the arrangement.
Equity method investments
The Company accounts for investments in unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting if it could exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an entity but does not have a controlling financial interest. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income (loss) resulting from these investments are reported under the line-item captioned equity method investment income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of our equity method investments is reported in equity method investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s equity method investments are reported at cost and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividend paid, if any. The Company assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy established by the accounting guidance that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology is one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, deposits, short-term portion of notes receivable and notes payable, and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company does not have financial assets or liabilities that are required under US GAAP to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has not elected to use fair value measurement option for any assets or liabilities for which fair value measurement is not presently required.
The Company records assets and liabilities at fair value on nonrecurring basis as required by US GAAP. Assets recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property and equipment, operating lease assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired.

Net Loss per Share
The Company accounts for net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. It excludes the dilutive effects of any potentially issuable common shares.
Diluted net loss per share is calculated by including any potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator.
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted shares at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Application of New Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures effective January 1, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements, it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. As well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Adoption of the ASU can either be on a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 11 – NOTE PAYABLE
Payroll Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan Grant
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provided for, among other things, the Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”). The CARES Act temporarily added the PPP Loan program to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) 7(a) Loan Program and provides for the forgiveness of up to the full amount of qualifying loan plus accrued interest guaranteed under the program. Loop applied for and received on April 27, 2020, through a bank, $573,500 under this program. The loan provides for an annual interest rate of 1% and a term of two years from the date the proceeds were received. Payments of principal and interest are deferred for the period up to the determination of the forgiveness amount by the SBA.
The program further provides that the payment of certain qualified expenses from the proceeds received can be eligible for loan forgiveness. The qualified payments must consist of at least 60% for payroll costs and the remaining amount up to a maximum of 40% can be used for certain non-payroll related costs such as mortgage interest, rent and utilities. The bank that issued the loan will determine how much of the loan will be forgiven based upon the information provided by the Company along with evidence of such costs. The $573,500 has been accounted for as a liability on Loop’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 (See 2nd PPP in Note 17). Any amount that is forgiven will be accounted for as other income at the time the forgiveness is determined. Any amount that is not forgiven will remain on the balance sheet as a
14
long-term liability and accrued interest. The remaining balance will be repaid with interest over the remaining term of the loan.
The CARES Act also provided that businesses affected by the Coronavirus pandemic would be eligible to apply for a loan under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) Program of the SBA. However, a business can only apply for a loan under PPP or EIDL, but not both. Loop applied for an EIDL loan as well but accepted the PPP Loan and therefore was no longer eligible to borrow under the EIDL Program. However, as part of the EIDL loan application process, Loop was able to request a $10,000 grant from the EIDL Program. The grant does not have to be repaid as a result of not getting the EIDL. However, the $10,000 grant will be reduced against the amount of the PPP loan qualifying to be forgiven. The $10,000 EIDL grant was recognized as other income in the second quarter of 2020.

Prior terms
On December 12, 2018, the Company issued $3,000,000 in convertible debentures, which have a maturity date of December 1, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). The debentures accrued interest monthly at a rate of 10% per annum, simple interest. Accrued unpaid interest became payable monthly beginning February 1, 2019 through May 1, 2020. Any accrued unpaid interest outstanding on May 1, 2020 could be converted into shares or added to the face amount of the loan. Beginning June 1, 2020 through January 1, 2021 the Company would make monthly installments of interest only payments. Beginning January 1, 2021, the Company will make monthly installments of principal and interest through December 1,
15
2023. At the option of the holders, the debentures are convertible at any time prior to the Maturity Date in whole or in parts into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.60 per common share.
The convertible debentures also provide that should the Company receive not less than $6,000,000 from the sale of its securities, it must either, at the discretion of the holders, make a $750,000 principal payment plus the balance of any accrued unpaid interest or convert that amount into the Company’s common stock. If the Company receives not less than $12,000,000 from the sale of its securities, the entire outstanding principal balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest must be either paid or converted in common stock.
In connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company issued 27,032,208 common share purchase warrants, with each warrant exercisable at $0.001 for a period of 10 years. The Company evaluated the warrants in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the warrants did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not account for them as a separate derivative liability.
The allocation of the $3,000,000 in gross proceeds from issuance of convertible debentures based on the relative fair values resulted in an allocation of $2,387,687 to the warrants and $612,313 to the convertible debentures. The relative fair value of the warrants above was determined on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following parameters: (1) risk free interest rate of 2.08%; (2) expected life in years of 10.0; (3) expected stock volatility of 45.49%; and (4) expected dividend yield of 0%. In addition, because the effective conversion rate based on the $612,313 allocated to the convertible debentures was $0.08 per share which was less than the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issuance date.
The beneficial conversion feature totaled $612,313 and was recorded as a debt discount. The Company also recorded the allocated fair value of the warrants $2,387,687 as additional debt discount. The total initial unamortized debt discount was $3,000,000 and is amortized to interest expense using effective interest method over the life of the convertible debentures.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the amortized debt discount recorded as interest expense was $148,433 and $149,507, respectively.
The Company was not able to make the payments required under the terms of the convertible debentures and was amended on October 31, 2019 to allow for more favorable terms and become compliant under the agreement. The convertible debentures were amended to provide for interest to be accrued from November 1, 2019 through April 2020 and at the sole discretion of the note holder to be paid either by common stock of the Company or added to the balance of the loan. The note holders elected to add the accrued interest in the amount of $150,411 to the balance of the loan. It further provided that beginning June 1, 2020, monthly payments of unpaid accrued interest will be made through December 2020 and beginning January 1, 2021, the Company will pay equal monthly installments of principal and interest through December 1, 2023 and any unpaid principal and interest outstanding will be immediately due and payable on December 1, 2023.
Second Amendment of terms
During 2020, the Company did not make all of the payments due under the convertible loan agreement with the related party and entered into a second amendment of this convertible loan on October 23, 2020. The second amendment provides for payment to be made for the unpaid interest accrued at 18% per annum (default rate) through October 22, 2020 amounting to $179,803 by making a cash payment of $97,979 and increasing the principal amount of the convertible note by $81,824.
The second amendment further provides that beginning November 1, 2020, monthly payments of unpaid interest accrued at 12.5% per annum will be paid in arrears through March 31, 2021, beginning April 1, 2021, the Company starts paying equal monthly installments of principal and interest computed at 10% per annum through December 1, 2023. The Company accounted for this amendment to the note under ASC 470-50-40-10 as a debt modification due to the present
16
value of the cash flows under the new amendment terms is less than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows of the current terms and recognized 0 gain or loss on modification on October 23, 2020.
Convertible debentures, related party - $750,000, December 1, 2020
On December 1, 2020, the Company offered, in a private placement, the aggregate offering amount of up to $3,000,000 of Senior Secured Promissory Debentures, with a minimum subscription amount of $250,000 and common stock warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $750,000 and aggregate exercisable warrant shares of 272,727 shares. The Senior Secured Promissory Debentures under the offering accrue cash interest at 4% per annum and payment in kind (PIK) interest at 6% payable in the Company’s common stock, determined on a 360-day basis. Cash interest is payable in advance for the period from the issue date to November 30, 2021 and then is payable six months in arrears on June 1, 2022, then six months in arrears on December 1, 2022. The accrued PIK interest is payable in shares of common stock in an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest accrued as of such date, divided by the VWAP of common stock during each trading day during the ten-trading day period ending one trading day prior to the PIK Interest Payment due dates of June 1, 2021, December 1, 2021, June 1, 2022, and December 1, 2022. The Senior Secured Promissory Debentures define VWAP as the average of the daily dollar volume-weighted average sale price for the Company’s common stock on the Pink Open Market or other market operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. on any trading day, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets.
At the option of the Senior Secured Promissory Note holders, the debentures are convertible at the earlier of a change of control event, a Qualified Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), both of which are defined in the Promissory Note Agreement or the maturity date of December 1, 2022. If the conversion takes place at the maturity date, the note will be converted in whole or in parts (which cannot be less than 50% of the amount due under the note) into a number of shares equal to the amount due divided by the average of the VWAP of common stock during each trading day during the thirty trading day period ending one trading day prior to the maturity date. If the conversion takes place at the change of control date, the note will be converted into a number of shares equal to the amount due divided by the average of the VWAP of common stock during each trading day during the ten trading day period ending one trading day prior to the change of control effective date. In the event of a Qualified IPO, but subject to the closing of such Qualified IPO, the amount due shall convert in full on the closing date of such Qualified IPO into several shares equal to the amount due on such closing date divided by the applicable IPO conversion price, as defined in the Promissory Note Agreement.
The only Senior Secured Promissory Note (the note) entered into under this offering in 2020 was to a related party in the amount of $750,000 whom also received common stock warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $187,500 and aggregate exercisable warrant shares of 68,182 shares. The note was amended to provide that the cash interest for the period from the issue date to November 30, 2021 is payable on November 30, 2021 instead of being paid in advance. The allocation of the $750,000 in gross proceeds from issuance of the note based on the relative fair values resulted in an allocation of $36,949 to the warrants and $713,051 to the note. The relative fair value of the warrants above was determined on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following parameters: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.22%; (2) expected life in years of 3.0; (3) expected stock volatility of 61.43%; and (4) expected dividend yield of 0%. In addition, because the effective conversion rate was indeterminate as of the date of the Promissory Note issuance, a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issuance date.
The beneficial conversion feature totaled $713,051 and was recorded as a debt discount. The Company also recorded the allocated fair value of the warrants $36,949 as additional debt discount. The total initial unamortized debt discount was $750,000 and is amortized to interest expense using effective interest method over the life of the convertible debentures.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the amortized debt discount recorded as interest expenses was $92,466 and $0, respectively.

Convertible debentures, non related party - $287,000, December 1, 2018
Original terms
On December 1, 2018, the Company entered into a redemption agreement with one of its former officers to repurchase 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. The terms of this agreement required that the Company issue a convertible debenture to this stockholder in the amount of $287,000 and pay the amount of accrued expenses owed to him of $134,000 in four quarterly payments beginning October 1, 2019. The first two quarterly payments totaled $67,000 were paid in January 2020 but the remaining $67,000 had not been paid. The convertible debenture originally provided for interest at 10% per annum, interest to accrue through September 1, 2019, beginning October 1, 2019 monthly payments of unpaid accrued interest will be made through May 1, 2020, beginning June 1, 2020, the Company will pay equal monthly installments of principal and interest through December 1, 2023.
At the option of the debenture holder, the debenture is convertible at any time prior to December 1, 2023 in whole or in parts into common stock of the Company at a price of $0.60 per common share. As the effective conversion rate based on the principal $287,000 was $0.60 per share which was less than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issuance date. The beneficial conversion feature totaled $30,996 and was recorded as a debt discount.
18
The discount is amortized to interest expense using effective interest method over the life of the convertible debentures. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the amortized debt discount recorded as interest expenses was $1,528 and $1,545, respectively.
First Amendment of terms
The Company did not make all the payments due under the convertible loan agreement entered with a founder and former officer of the Company and entered into a second agreement to modify the payment terms on October 22, 2020. At the date of this amendment, the Company owed unpaid accrued interest through May 31, 2020 amounting to $43,011 and unpaid principal and interest payments from June 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020 in the amount of $40,814 for a total of $83,825. To remove the default, the Company amended the terms of the convertible note on October 22, 2020 to provide for the unpaid interest accrued through May 31, 2020 plus the unpaid principal and interest payments from June 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020 amounting to $83,825 to be paid on the date of the agreement.
In addition, the amendment required that the Company pay on October 22, 2020, $28,587 of the outstanding balance of accrued expenses due to the founder and former officer for a total payment of $112,412. The Company paid the remaining balance of the $67,000 owed, amounting to $38,412 on March 31, 2021, as further provided in the amendment. Additionally, the amendment provided that the November 1, 2020 payment was deferred to December 1, 2020. Since the convertible note was not converted into the Company’s common stock, the terms of the original note resumed on December 1, 2020. The Company accounted for this amendment to the note under ASC 470-50-40-10 as a debt modification due to the present value of the cash flows under the new amendment terms is as least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows of the current terms and recognized no gain or loss on modification on December 31, 2020.
Convertible debentures, non related party - $326,143, July 12, 2019
Original terms
On July 12, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a lender for a loan amount up to $200,000. The loan provided an interest rate of 11% accrued monthly with principal and accrued unpaid interest due on January 8, 2021. The loan required the Company to pay a loan fee of 2% ($4,000) upon execution. The loan provides for a prepayment penalty of 4% of the amount prepaid plus all interest accrued to the date of the prepayment. The loan was secured by a primary interest in all assets of the Company.
Amendments to the loan
During the remainder of 2019, the Company amended the loan twice to provide for an increase in the maximum loan amount to $400,000 and to restructure the loan as a convertible debenture. At the option of the debenture holder, the debenture is convertible at any time prior to the maturity date in whole or in parts into common shares of the Company. The conversion price was initially deemed to be $0.60 per common share.
The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature did not meet the definition of a liability, and therefore, did not account for it as a separate derivative liability. The embedded conversion feature was fair valued at $146,678 using the Black Scholes Method and recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt and offset to additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2019. The Company also charged the additional loan fees of $6,473 to loss on extinguishment of debt.
The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature’s effective conversion rate to be less than the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance and determined that a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issuance date. The beneficial conversion feature totaled $29,967 and was recorded as a debt discount and offset to additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2019.
19
The amendments also provided that at the lender’s request, the Company will issue one share of its common stock for every dollar loaned. The total amount borrowed under this loan was $326,143 and the Company recorded the obligation to issue 326,143 common shares with a value of $135,144 as common stock subscribed but not yet issued and debt discount. After considering the 1 to 1.5 shares reverse stock split, the number of shares to be issued would be 217,429.
The Company subsequently identified Interlink Plus, Inc. (Interlink) as a merger target and amended the loan to change the conversion price to $0.375 per common share. The Company wrote off the remaining unamortized debt discount of $141,663 at the time of the change in conversion price as loss on extinguishment of debt. After the change to the conversion price, a new embedded conversion feature was re-calculated as $110,281 which was charged to additional-paid-in-capital. The difference between the embedded conversion feature previously calculated of $146,678 and the recalculated amount of $110,281 or $36,397 was offset against loss on extinguishment of debt. This resulted in the debt discount for the loan being completely written off.
Effective January 8, 2021, the lender elected to convert the outstanding loan amount of $326,143 plus accrued interest of $50,213 for a total of $376,356 into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $0.375 per share. The lender received 1,003,618 shares of common stock from this conversion and the Company recognized no gain or loss.
As noted above, at the lender’s request, the Company will issue one share of its common stock for every dollar loaned. On January 8, 2021, the lender also requested that the shares represented by the loan amount of $326,143 be issued in the amount of 217,429 shares which will also result in the reduction of common stock subscribed but not yet issued in the amount of $135,144.
Convertible debentures, non related party - $350,000, January 12, 2021
Another Senior Secured Promissory Note (the note) under the offering described above under Convertible Debentures, Related Party was entered into in the amount of $350,000 and the lender also received common stock warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $240,625 and aggregate exercisable warrant shares of 87,500 shares. As noted above, the note accrues cash interest at 4% per annum and payment in kind (PIK) interest at 6% payable in the Company’s common stock, determined on a 360-day basis. Cash interest was paid in advance for the period from the issue date to November 30, 2021 and then is payable six months in arrears on June 1, 2022, then six months in arrears on December 1, 2022. The accrued PIK interest is payable in shares of common stock in an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest accrued as of such date, divided by the VWAP of common stock during each trading day during the ten-trading day period ending one trading day prior to the PIK Interest Payment due dates of June 1, 2021, December 1, 2021, June 1, 2022, and December 1, 2022.
The allocation of the $350,000 in gross proceeds from issuance of the note based on the relative fair values resulted in an allocation of $43,654 to the warrants and $306,346 to the note. The relative fair value of the warrants above was determined on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following parameters: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.22%; (2) expected life in years of 3.0; (3) expected stock volatility of 61.43%; and (4) expected dividend yield of 0%. In addition, because the effective conversion rate was indeterminate as of the date of the Promissory Note issuance, a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issue date.
The beneficial conversion feature totaled $306,346 and was recorded as a debt discount. The Company also recorded the allocated fair value of the warrants of $43,654 as additional debt discount. The total initial unamortized debt discount was $350,000 and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the convertible debentures.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the amortized debt discount recorded as interest expense was $39,680 and $0, respectively.

NOTE 16 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Options
Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from using the Company’s historical stock prices. The Company accounts for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees. For employees, the Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the "simplified" method, which is used for "plain-vanilla" options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options.

PPP Loan round 1 Forgiveness
On May 10, 2021, the Company received a notification from the Small Business Association for the full forgiveness of the PPP loan of $573,500 received on April 27, 2020 (Note 11).
25
PPP Loan round 2
On April 26, 2021, the Company received the proceeds from a loan in the amount of $486,638, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act (“PPP”). The loan matures on April 19, 2026 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of April 19, 2021 which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. The loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. All or a portion of the loan may be forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) upon application by the Company beginning 8 weeks but not later than 24 weeks (“covered period”) after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. Repayment begins 10 months after the last day of the covered period. In the event the loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal. While the Company intends to apply for the forgiveness of the loan, there is no assurance that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the loan for qualifying expenses.
The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to consider its current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

Overview
Loop Media, Inc. (f/k/a Interlink Plus, Inc.) (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 11, 2015. On February 5, 2020, the Company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Loop Media Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation, closed the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Loop Media, Inc. (“Loop”), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Loop with Loop as surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Loop in exchange for 152,823,970 shares (pre-stock split; the post stock split number would be 101,882,647 shares) of the Company’s common stock at an exchange ratio of 1:1. Loop was incorporated on May 18, 2016, under the laws of the State of Delaware. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations now are focused on premium short-form video for businesses and consumers.
In connection with the Merger, on February 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Zixiao Chen (“Buyer”) for the sale of assets relating to the Company’s two major business segments: travel agency assistance services and convention services (together, the “Business”). In consideration for the assets of the Business, Buyer transferred to the Company 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and agreed to assume and discharge any and all liabilities relating to the Business accruing up to the effective time of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The shares will be retired and restored to the status of authorized and unissued shares.
For accounting purposes, Loop was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Loop pursuant to which Loop was treated as the accounting acquirer, surviving and continuing entity although the Company is the legal acquirer. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the Merger. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Loop and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScreenPlay, immediately following the consummation of this reverse merger transaction.
27
On June 8, 2020, a 1 for 1.5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock became effective. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively adjusted for the effects of the reverse split for all periods presented.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, substantially all our revenues were derived from the historical business of ScreenPlay, which relies on a Subscription service-based model using older and more expensive A/V technology. Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 did not contain any significant contribution from any Ad-Supported Services or the provision of the Loop Player to OOH venues or our Loop App to retail consumer end users.

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Developments
Impact of COVID-19
The spread of COVID-19 around the world is continuing to affect the United States and global economies and may affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including by causing disruptions in staffing, order fulfillment, and demand for product. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may affect our revenue significantly in 2021, as it had in 2020. Additionally, while the potential ongoing negative economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is still difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact our short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 is highly uncertain and subject to change.
The Company has been and continues to be significantly impacted by COVID-19 which was directly related to business closures of key customers. If our business continues to be impacted, we may reintroduce the salary reductions that we had in place from March 2020 through October 2020, or introduce other cost cutting activities.
As COVID-19 continues to evolve, the extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and changes in the severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to try and contain COVID-19 or treat its impact. The Company continues to monitor the ongoing pandemic and, the extent to which the continued spread of the virus adversely affects our customer base and therefore revenue. As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the Company’s plans as described above may change. At this point, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, which could have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value measurements
The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy established by the accounting guidance that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
28
measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology is one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, deposits, short-term portion of notes receivable and notes payable, and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company does not have financial assets or liabilities that are required under the US GAAP to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has not elected to use fair value measurement option for any assets or liabilities for which fair value measurement is not presently required.
The Company records assets and liabilities at fair value on nonrecurring basis as required by the US GAAP. Assets recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property and equipment, operating lease assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired.
License Content Assets
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2019-02, Entertainment—Films—Other Assets—Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment—Broadcasters—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, on a prospective basis. The Company capitalizes the fixed content fees and its corresponding liability when the license period begins, the cost of the content is known, and the content is accepted and available for streaming. If the licensing fee is not determinable or reasonably estimable, no asset or liability is recorded, and licensing costs are expenses as incurred. The Company amortizes licensed content assets into cost of revenue, using the straight-line method over the contractual period of availability. The liability is paid in accordance with the contractual terms of the arrangement.

Revenues
The Company’s revenue declined for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from March 31, 2020 by $32,345 or 4%. The primary cause for this slight decline in revenue is reduction in content subscription services due to the coronavirus pandemic. Reduction in services unfavorably impacted the demand for content and streaming services for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020.
Cost of revenue
The cost of revenue increased by 241% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same comparable period in 2020 primarily due to the recording of amortization of license content assets of $301,807 and contractor stock compensation of $131,250 in 2021 that did not occur for the same comparable period in 2020.
Total Operating Expenses
Total Selling, General and Administration increased in the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the same comparable period of 2020 by $4,847,631 or 158% because of significant increase in stock compensation expense and intangible asset amortization.
The Company recorded employee stock compensation expense totaling $5,288,550 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1,500,000 for the same comparable period in 2020.
30
The Company wrote off a note receivable for $105,720 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $0 for the same comparable period in 2020.
The Company recorded intangible asset amortization of $353,783 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $56,292 for the same comparable period in 2020.
Other income and expenses
There was a decrease in other income and expense of $3,630,853. This was primarily due to recording of inducement expense of $3,793,406 related to the issuance of Series B convertible preferred stock for cash and induced debt extinguishment in 2020. This was increased by interest expense of $168,477 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same comparable period in 2020. Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 verses March 31, 2020 due to the related party convertible debenture of $750,000 and non-related party convertible debenture of $350,000 recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company recorded income from its equity investment in EON Media Group of $1,551 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
No convertible debentures to related party and non-related party were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, amortization of the related party convertible debenture of $750,000 discount was $92,466 and interest expense was $18,493. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, amortization of the non-related party convertible debenture of $350,000 discount was $39,680 and interest expense was $7,479.

The Company has historically sought and continues to seek financing from private sources to implement its business plans. In order to satisfy its financial commitments, the Company has historically relied on private party financing, but that has inherent risks in terms of availability and adequacy of funding.
For the next twelve months, the Company anticipates that it will need to supplement its cash from revenues with additional cash raised from equity investment or debt transactions to ensure that the Company will have adequate cash to support its minimum operating cash requirements and thus to continue as a going concern.
There can be no guarantee or assurance that the Company can raise adequate capital from outside sources. If the Company is unable to raise funds when required or on acceptable terms, it may have to significantly reduce, or discontinue its operations.

Net Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $2,287,186 primarily due to $1,955,000 of cash proceeds received from issuance of common stock, repayment of $17,814 of a stockholder’s loan, and cash proceeds of $350,000 received for issuance of convertible promissory notes. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1,329,866 primarily due to $390,000 of cash proceeds received from issuance of common stock, cash payment of reverse merger costs of $80,134, cash proceeds of $20,000 received from issuance of common stock subscriptions, and cash proceeds of $1,000,000 received for preferred shares.

Future Capital Requirements
Our current available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Our capital requirements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 will depend on numerous factors, including management’s evaluation of the timing of projects to pursue. Subject to our ability to generate revenues and cash flow from operations and our ability to raise additional capital (including through possible joint ventures and/or partnerships), we expect to incur substantial expenditures to carry out our business plan, as well as costs associated with our capital raising efforts and being a public company.
Our plans to finance our operations include seeking equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements, or other business transactions, that would generate sufficient resources to ensure continuation of our operations.
The sale of additional equity or debt securities may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we were unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned activities and limit our operations which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Inflation
The amounts presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
32
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $8,247,115, had net cash used in operating activities of $2,023,867, had working capital of $64,821, and accumulated deficit of $49,791,259. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for our capital requirements by continuing to issue additional equity and debt securities. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
Not required.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures.
(i)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2021. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Based on this evaluation, and as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that were identified and continued to exist at March 31, 2021, management believes that the financial statements included in this report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Material Weaknesses and Management’s Remediation Plan
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were identified in the normal course and continued to exist as of March 31, 2021:
● | the Company’s management and the governance had insufficient oversight of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting; |
33
● | the Company failed to maintain effective controls over the period-end financial reporting process, including controls with respect to preparation and disclosure of provision for income taxes, valuation and presentation of asset acquisition, content assets and liabilities, and investments; and |
● | the Company failed to maintain effective controls over journal entries, both recurring and nonrecurring, and account reconciliations and did not maintain proper segregation of duties. Journal entries were not always accompanied by sufficient supporting documentation and were not adequately reviewed and approved for validity, completeness and accuracy. In most instances, persons responsible for reviewing journal entries and account reconciliations for validity, completeness and accuracy were also responsible for preparation. |
We have concluded that these material weaknesses arose because, as previously a private company, we did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel, and related internal controls. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we began to undertake measures to address material weaknesses in our internal controls. We will continue to take steps to remediate these material weaknesses, including:
| ● | we intend to implement a procedure that ensures timely review of the financial statements, notes to our financial statements, and our Annual and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q by our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and our board of directors, prior to filing with the SEC; |
| ● | we intend to design and implement a formalized financial reporting process that includes balance sheet reconciliations, properly prepared, supported, and reviewed journal entries, properly segregated duties, and properly completed and approved close checklist and calendar; |
| ● | we will utilize outside professionals to assist with our specialized reporting requirements to ensure timely filing of our required reports with the SEC; and |
| ● | we intend to initiate efforts to ensure our employees understand the continued importance of internal controls and compliance with corporate policies and procedures. |
(ii)Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management intends to implement certain remediation steps to address the material weaknesses described above. However, management has not yet implemented those remediation steps and expects remediation efforts to continue through the remainder of fiscal year 2021.
