GOING CONCERN	2. GOING CONCERN The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. Based on current operating levels, the Company will need to raise additional funds by selling additional equity or incurring debt. To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily through sales of its common stock in public markets and proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock and the sale of convertible notes. Additionally, future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of revenue growth, the selling price of the Company’s products and services, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending on content development efforts and the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s products and services. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the date of this report. Management of the Company intends to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or debt. It is probable that management will continue to obtain new sources of financing that will enable the Company to meet its obligations for the twelve-month period. There can be no assurance that, in the event the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital and reduce discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As a result, the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Impact of COVID-19 On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization announced a global health emergency because of the spread of a new strain of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, a global pandemic. COVID-19 has and continues to significantly affect the United States and global economies. The Company has experienced significant disruptions to its business and operations due to circumstances related to COVID-19, and delays caused government-imposed quarantines, office closings and travel restrictions, which affect both the Company’s and its service providers. The Company has significant operations in Manila, Philippines, which was locked down by the government on March 12, 2020 due to concerns related to the spread of COVID-19. As a result of the Philippines government’s call to contain COVID-19, the Company’s animation studio, located in Manila, Philippines, which accounts for approximately 88% of the Company’s total revenues on a consolidated basis, was forced to close its offices for significant periods of time from March 2020 through December 2021. In response to the outbreak and business disruption, the Company has instituted employee safety protocols to contain the spread, including domestic and international travel restrictions, work-from-home practices, extensive cleaning protocols, social distancing and various temporary closures of its administrative offices and production studio. The Company has implemented a range of actions aimed at temporarily reducing costs and preserving liquidity. In January 2022, the Company started to recall artist and employees to return to the studio which is currently operating at 50% seat capacity. While restrictions have eased, the risk continues as new variants are being discovered. The full extent of potential impacts on the Company’s business, financing activities and the global economy will depend on future developments, which cannot be predicted due to the uncertain nature of the continued COVID-19 pandemic, government mandated shut downs, and its adverse effects, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. These effects could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and results of operations. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its operating subsidiaries Grom Social, TD Holdings, GES, GNS, and Curiosity. The Company recognizes noncontrolling interest related to its less-than-wholly-owned subsidiary, Curiosity, as equity in the consolidated financial statements separate from the parent entity’s equity. The net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest is included in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments, which includes intercompany balances and transactions are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto at December 31, 2021, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2022 with the SEC. Certain prior period statement of operations and statement of cash flows captions and balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, including the allocation of $79,810 and $252,343, respectively from depreciation and amortization and $95,899 and $303,214, respectively in certain fixed overhead costs from selling, general, and administrative expenses previously presented under operating expenses to cost of goods sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. In the statement of cash flow, the amortization of rights-of-use assets is presented as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to cash used in operating activities and changes to operating lease liabilities are presented as a change in operating assets and liabilities. These two reclassifications were previously presented as a net movement titled operating lease right-of-use assets under changes in operating assets and liabilities. The changes do not have any financial impact on the Company’s reported revenue, reported net loss, or cash flows from operations. Use of Estimates The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Update to Significant Accounting Policies The Company has changed its accounting policy related to Publishing Revenue, refer to Revenues – Publishing Revenue Other than noted above, there have been no other new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Issued, not yet Adopted There were no new accounting pronouncements issued in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which could impact the Company.

REVENUES

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUES	3. REVENUES The Company’s main types of revenue contracts consist of the following categories, which are disaggregated from the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Animation Revenue Animation revenue is primarily generated from contracts with customers for preproduction and production services related to the development of animated movies and television series. Preproduction activities include producing storyboards, location design, model and props design, background color and color styling. Production focuses on library creation, digital asset management, background layout scene assembly, posing, animation and after effects. The Company provides services under fixed-price contracts. Under these fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform a specified scope of work for a pre-determined price. To the extent actual costs vary from estimated costs, the Company’s profit may increase, decrease, or result in a loss. Web Filtering Revenue Web filtering revenue is subscription based and recognized on a pro-rata basis over the subscription period. Typically, a subscriber purchases computer hardware and a software and support service license for a period of use between one year to five years. The subscriber is billed in full at the time of the sale. The Company immediately recognizes revenue attributable to the computer hardware as it is non-refundable and control passes to the customer. The advanced billing component for software and service is initially recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. Produced and Licensed Content Revenue Produced and licensed content revenue is generated from the licensing of internally-produced films and episodic television programs. Each individual film or television series episode delivered represents a separate performance obligation, and revenues are recognized when the film or episode is made available to the licensee for exhibition. For license agreements containing multiple deliverables, revenues are allocated based on the relative standalone selling price of each film or episode of a television series, which is based on licenses for comparable films or series within the marketplace. Agreements to license programming are often long term, with collection terms ranging from one to five years. The advanced billing component for licensed content is initially recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as revenue upon completion of the performance obligation in accordance with the terms of licensing agreement. Publishing Revenue The Company has engaged the services of a third-party entity to manage the printing, publishing and distribution of the Company’s publishing content. In accordance with the terms agreed with the third party, the Company’s revenue is recognized as 50% of revenue from sales per title after the third-party vendor earns back the costs to develop, author, publish, market, promote and distribute each title, inclusive of any royalties owed to rights holders, following a six months period in market to allow for returns. Publishing revenues are eligible for recognition upon the completion of a six-month sales period to provide for any potential returns and notification from the third-party entity that it has earned back all of its related publishing costs. Other Revenue Other revenue corresponds to subscription and advertising revenue from the Grom Social mobile application. All revenue recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers. The following table depicts the disaggregated revenue listed above within the Sales caption in the condensed consolidated statements of operations: Schedule of disaggregated revenue Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Animation $ 1,419,153 $ 1,383,196 $ 3,493,732 $ 4,373,409 Web Filtering 63,234 130,928 358,950 403,676 Produced and Licensed Content – – – – Publishing 2,321 – 2,321 – Other 250 568 662 1,442 Total Sales $ 1,484,958 $ 1,514,692 $ 3,855,665 $ 4,778,527 The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s accounts receivable and advanced payments and deferred revenues at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021: Schedule of accounts receivable September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Billed accounts receivable $ 507,784 $ 822,536 Unbilled accounts receivable 563,570 187,751 Allowance for doubtful accounts (36,273 ) (41,708 ) Total accounts receivable, net $ 1,035,081 $ 968,579 Total advanced payments and deferred revenues $ 615,316 $ 404,428 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had four customers that accounted for 81.8 71.4 81.7 76.5 As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had one and two customers, respectively that accounted for 18.9 61.3 Animation revenue contracts vary with movie contracts typically allowing for progress billings over the contract term while other episodic development activities are typically billable upon delivery of the performance obligation for an episode. These episodic activities typically create unbilled contract assets between episode delivery dates while movies can create contract assets or liabilities based on the progress of activities versus the arranged billing schedule. Revenues from web filtering contracts are all billed in advance and therefore represent contract liabilities until fully recognized on a ratable basis over the contract life.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY	13. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY On January 20, 2022, the Company closed a Second Tranche transaction with L1 Capital, as described within Note 12 (“Convertible Notes”). The terms of the transaction included a provision that in the event the stock price is below $0.54 (the “Conversion Price”) at the time for so long as stock price continues below the Conversion Price, the Second Tranche Notes would be convertible at a rate of 80% of the lowest VWAP in the ten prior trading days, provided, that if the stock prices elevate back to the normal Conversion Price. On May 9, 2022, stock price fell below $0.54 and the default provision was triggered. As a result of the May 9, 2022 triggering event, the Company recorded a derivative liability for $ 1,052,350 On June 28, 2022, L1 Capital converted $ 450,000 833,333 295,539 39,624 On July 11, 2022, L1 Capital converted $ 400,000 740,741 245,993 12,436 On July 25, 2022, L1 Capital converted $ 400,000 740,741 242,548 1,420 On August 11, 2022, L1 Capital converted $ 400,000 740,741 289,989 66,274 At September 30, 2022, the fair value of the derivative was remeasured using the remaining maximum shares to be delivered resulting in an unrealized gain on change of derivative transaction of $ 49,047 48,988 The fair value of derivative liability as of May 9, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation with the following factors, assumptions and methodologies: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (Details - Assumptions) May 9, 2022 September 30, Stock price $ 0.57 $ 0.33 Strike price 0.54 0.54 Risk-free rate 2.12% 3.67% Annualized volatility 150% 107% Forecast horizon in years 1.20 0.80 Alternative Conversion Discount 20.0% 20.0% Maximum Shares to be Delivered 3,240,741 185,185 Changes in the unobservable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. The significant unobservable input (probability of a down round event) used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change in the contractual terms of the financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood or in the volatility assumptions would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, non on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, include the Company’s own credit risk. The Company applied FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 – Fair Value Measurement · Level 1 – Unadjusted inputs based on quoted markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2 – Observable inputs, either direct or indirect, not including Level 1 measurements, corroborated by market data or based upon quoted prices in non-active markets · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best assumptions of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. Contingent Consideration The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration payable was based on the Company’s evaluation as to the probability and amount of any earn-out that could have ultimately been payable. The Company utilizes a third-party valuation firm to assist in the calculation of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date. The Company evaluates the forecast of the acquired entity and the probability of earn-out provisions being achieved when it evaluates the contingent consideration recorded at initial acquisition date and at each subsequent reporting period. The fair value of contingent consideration is measured at each reporting period and adjusted as necessary. The Company evaluates the terms in contingent consideration arrangements provided to former owners of acquired companies who become employees of the Company to determine if such amounts are part of the purchase price of the acquired entity or compensation. Because the fair value measurements relating to the contingent consideration liabilities are subject to management judgment, measurement uncertainty is inherent in the valuation of the contingent consideration liabilities as of the reporting date. Derivative Liability The fair value of the derivative liabilities is classified as Level 3 within the Company’s fair value hierarchy. Please refer to Note 13 (“Derivative Liability”), for a further discussion of the measurement of fair value of the derivatives and their underlying assumptions. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows: Schedule of financial instruments September 30, 2022 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: Derivative Liabilities $ 48,988 $ – $ – $ 48,988 Contingent Purchase Consideration 5,586,493 – – 5,586,493 Total Liabilities $ 5,635,481 $ – $ – $ 5,635,481 December 31, 2021 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: Derivative Liabilities $ – $ – $ – $ – Contingent Purchase Consideration 5,586,493 – – 5,586,493 Total Liabilities $ 5,586,493 $ – $ – $ 5,586,493 The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022: Schedule of changes in the fair value financial liabilities Level 3 Financial Liabilities for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Balance as of June 30, 2022 Realized (Gains) Losses Additions Settlements Unrealized (Gains) Losses Balance as of September 30, 2022 Liabilities: Derivative Liabilities $ 739,311 $ 80,130 $ – $ (778,530 ) $ 8,077 $ 48,988 Contingent Purchase Consideration 5,586,493 – – – – 5,586,493 Total Liabilities $ 6,325,804 $ 80,130 $ – $ (778,530 ) $ 8,077 $ 5,635,481 Level 3 Financial Liabilities for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Balance as of December 31, 2021 Realized (Gains) Losses Additions Settlements Unrealized (Gains) Losses Balance as of September 30, 2022 Liabilities: Derivative Liabilities $ – $ 119,754 $ 1,052,350 $ (1,074,069 ) $ (49,047 ) $ 48,988 Contingent Purchase Consideration 5,586,493 – – – – 5,586,493 Total Liabilities $ 5,586,493 $ 119,754 $ 1,052,350 $ (1,074,069 ) $ (49,047 ) $ 5,635,481

INCOME TAXES	15. INCOME TAXES In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon currently known facts and circumstances and applies that rate to its year-to-date earnings or losses. The Company’s effective tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of discrete items, such as changes in estimates, changes in rates or tax status, and unusual or infrequently occurring events, is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the result of new judicial interpretations or regulatory or tax law changes. The Company’s interim effective tax rate, inclusive of discrete items, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 0

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Impact of COVID-19	Impact of COVID-19 On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization announced a global health emergency because of the spread of a new strain of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, a global pandemic. COVID-19 has and continues to significantly affect the United States and global economies. The Company has experienced significant disruptions to its business and operations due to circumstances related to COVID-19, and delays caused government-imposed quarantines, office closings and travel restrictions, which affect both the Company’s and its service providers. The Company has significant operations in Manila, Philippines, which was locked down by the government on March 12, 2020 due to concerns related to the spread of COVID-19. As a result of the Philippines government’s call to contain COVID-19, the Company’s animation studio, located in Manila, Philippines, which accounts for approximately 88% of the Company’s total revenues on a consolidated basis, was forced to close its offices for significant periods of time from March 2020 through December 2021. In response to the outbreak and business disruption, the Company has instituted employee safety protocols to contain the spread, including domestic and international travel restrictions, work-from-home practices, extensive cleaning protocols, social distancing and various temporary closures of its administrative offices and production studio. The Company has implemented a range of actions aimed at temporarily reducing costs and preserving liquidity. In January 2022, the Company started to recall artist and employees to return to the studio which is currently operating at 50% seat capacity. While restrictions have eased, the risk continues as new variants are being discovered. The full extent of potential impacts on the Company’s business, financing activities and the global economy will depend on future developments, which cannot be predicted due to the uncertain nature of the continued COVID-19 pandemic, government mandated shut downs, and its adverse effects, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. These effects could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and results of operations.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its operating subsidiaries Grom Social, TD Holdings, GES, GNS, and Curiosity. The Company recognizes noncontrolling interest related to its less-than-wholly-owned subsidiary, Curiosity, as equity in the consolidated financial statements separate from the parent entity’s equity. The net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest is included in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments, which includes intercompany balances and transactions are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto at December 31, 2021, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2022 with the SEC. Certain prior period statement of operations and statement of cash flows captions and balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, including the allocation of $79,810 and $252,343, respectively from depreciation and amortization and $95,899 and $303,214, respectively in certain fixed overhead costs from selling, general, and administrative expenses previously presented under operating expenses to cost of goods sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. In the statement of cash flow, the amortization of rights-of-use assets is presented as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to cash used in operating activities and changes to operating lease liabilities are presented as a change in operating assets and liabilities. These two reclassifications were previously presented as a net movement titled operating lease right-of-use assets under changes in operating assets and liabilities. The changes do not have any financial impact on the Company’s reported revenue, reported net loss, or cash flows from operations.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Update to Significant Accounting Policies	Update to Significant Accounting Policies The Company has changed its accounting policy related to Publishing Revenue, refer to Revenues – Publishing Revenue Other than noted above, there have been no other new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.
