NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS

Loop Media, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (collectively, “Loop Media,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a multichannel digital video platform media company that uses marketing technology, or “MarTech,” to generate our revenue and offer our services. Our technology and vast library of videos and licensed content enable us to curate and distribute short-form videos to connected televisions (“CTV”) in out-of-home (“OOH”) dining, hospitality and retail establishments, convenience stores and other locations and venues to enable them to inform, entertain and engage their customers. Our technology also provides businesses the ability to promote and advertise their products via digital signage and provides third-party advertisers with a targeted marketing and promotional tool for their products and services. We also allow our business clients to access our service without advertisements by paying a monthly subscription fee.

We offer hand-curated music video content licensed from major and independent record labels, including Universal Music Group (“Universal”), Sony Music Entertainment (“Sony”), and Warner Music Group (“Warner” and collectively with Universal and Sony, the “Music Labels”), as well as non-music video content. Our non-music video content is predominantly licensed or acquired from third parties, including action sports clips, drone and nature footage, trivia, news headlines, lifestyle channels and kid-friendly videos, as well as movie, television and video game trailers, amongst other content. We distribute our content and advertising inventory to digital screens located in OOH locations primarily through (i) our owned and operated platform (the “O&O Platform”) of Loop Media-designed “small-box” streaming Android media players (“Loop Players”) and legacy ScreenPlay (as defined below) computers and (ii) through screens (“Partner Screens”) on digital platforms owned and operated by third parties (each a “Partner Platform” and collectively, the “Partner Platforms,” and together with the O&O Platform, the “Loop Platform”).

As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 77,000 active Loop Players and Partner Screens across the Loop Platform, which include 33,783 quarterly active Loop Players, or QAUs (as defined below) across our O&O Platform, a decrease of 3,238 over the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and approximately 43,000 Partner Screens across our Partner Platforms, an increase of 1,000 Partner Screens over the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and management’s plan

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have incurred significant recurring losses resulting in an accumulated deficit. We anticipate further losses in the foreseeable future. We also had negative cash flows used in operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

On December 22, 2022, we filed a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 that has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). On May 12, 2023, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”) pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through the Agent, shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $50,000,000. As of the date of this Report, however, we are now subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, and in accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the number of shares of our Common Stock available for sale thereunder is now limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates of the Company, as calculated pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we issued no shares of Common Stock under the ATM Sales Agreement. On January 8, 2024, we filed a Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus filed on January 11, 2023, to decrease the amount of our Common Stock that is available to be sold under the ATM Sales Agreement, such that we registered the offer and sale of our Common Stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $18,200,000, from

Table of Contents

time to time. We have not raised any funds through sales under our ATM Sales Agreement from January 1, 2024, through the date of this Report.

Based on the available cash balance at December 31, 2023, and our current access to capital utilizing the ATM and our credit facilities, we believe that we will have sufficient resources to fund our operations for at least twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued and that the substantial doubt in connection with our ability to continue as a going concern is alleviated.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, which has been derived from our audited financial statements, and (b) our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2023, 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 December 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2024.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 19, 2023.

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, EON Media Group Pte. Ltd. and Retail Media TV, Inc. 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 revenue recognition of performance obligations, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of stock-based compensation awards, income taxes and going concern.

Segment reporting

We report as one reportable segment. Our business activities, revenues and expenses are evaluated by management as one reportable segment.

Table of Contents

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, that would enhance disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280. ASC 280 requires a public entity to report for each reportable segment a measure of segment profit or loss that its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to assess segment performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more useful financial analyses. Currently, Topic 280 requires that a public entity disclose certain information about its reportable segments. For example, a public entity is required to report a measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to assess segment performance and make decisions about allocating resources. ASC 280 also requires other specified segment items and amounts such as depreciation, amortization and depletion expense to be disclosed under certain circumstances. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 do not change or remove those disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 also do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in ASU 2023-07 retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid monetary instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits. We maintain our cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At times, our cash and cash equivalent balances may be uninsured or in amounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limits. We have not experienced any losses on such accounts. On December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023, we had no cash equivalents.

As of December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023, approximately $3,561,159 and $2,818,696 of cash exceeded the FDIC insurance limits, respectively.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers. We assess the collectability of receivables on an ongoing basis. A provision for the impairment of receivables involves significant management judgment and includes the review of individual receivables based on individual customers, current economic trends and analysis of historical bad debts. As of December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023, we had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $804,664 and $630,629, respectively.

Concentration of credit risk

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we had two customers which each individually comprised greater than 10% of net revenue. These customers represented 25% and 20% respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenue during the periods presented.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we had three customers which each individually comprised greater than 10% of net revenue. These customers represented 16%, 15% and 11% respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenue during the periods presented.

As of December 31, 2023, three customers accounted for a total of 42% of our accounts receivable balance or 17%, 15% and 10%, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable.

As of December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for a total of 39% of our accounts receivable balance or 14%, 14% and 11%, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

We grant credit in the normal course of business to our customers. Periodically, we review past due accounts and make 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.

Prepaid expenses

Expenditures paid in one accounting period which will not be consumed until a future period such as insurance premiums and annual subscription fees are accounted for on the balance sheet as a prepaid expense. When the asset is eventually consumed, it is charged to expense.

Content Assets

We capitalize the fixed content fees and 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 expensed as incurred. We amortize 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. Internally-developed content costs are capitalized in the same manner as licensed content costs, when the cost of the content is known and the content is ready and available for streaming. We amortize internally-developed content assets into cost of revenue, using the straight-line method over the estimated period of streaming.

Long-lived assets

We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner that an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, we recognize an impairment loss only if their carrying amount is not recoverable through the undiscounted cash flows. The impairment loss is based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value as determined by discounted future cash flows. Our finite long-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from two to nine years.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. Our capitalization policy is to capitalize property and equipment purchases greater than $3,000, as well as internally-developed software enhancements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in earnings.

Loop Players are capitalized as fixed assets and depreciated over the estimated period of use.

See below for estimated useful lives:


Loop Players		3 years
Equipment		3-5 years
Software		3 years

Operating leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than twelve months, we have elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and we recognize such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fair value measurement

We determine the fair value of our 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 our 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. We do not have financial assets or liabilities that are required under US GAAP to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We have not elected to use fair value measurement option for any assets or liabilities for which fair value measurement is not presently required.

We record assets and liabilities at fair value on a 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.

On September 26, 2022, our convertible debentures converted to Common Stock as part of our public offering and uplist to The NYSE American, LLC, in accordance with the terms of the original debt agreements. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining balance of the Derivative Liability was written off as part of the conversion to equity. Thus, there is no fair value measurement of the Derivative Liability balance as of December 31, 2023.

Advertising costs

We expense all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, were $2,178,247 and $3,125,027, respectively.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the

Table of Contents

consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the client, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. For example, we bill subscription services in advance of when the service is performed and revenue is treated as deferred revenue until the service is performed and/or the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenues are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of our products and services to clients in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

●

executed contracts with our customers that we believe are legally enforceable;

●

identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

●

determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

●

allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

●

recognition of revenue only when we satisfy each performance obligation.

Our revenue can be categorized into two revenue streams: Advertising revenue and Legacy and other revenue.

The following table disaggregates our revenue by major type for each of the periods indicated:


	Three months ended December 31,
		2023		2022
Advertising revenue	$	9,394,764	$	13,959,505
Legacy and other revenue		776,492		866,326
Total	$	10,171,256	$	14,825,831

Performance obligations and significant judgments

Our performance obligations and recognition patterns for each revenue stream are as follows:

Advertising revenue

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, advertising revenue accounts for 92% and 94%, respectively, of our revenue and includes revenue from direct programmatic and local advertising as well as sponsorships.

For all advertising revenue sources, we evaluate whether we should be considered the principal (i.e., report revenues on a gross basis) or an agent (i.e., report revenues on a net basis). Our role as principal or agent differs based on our performance obligation for each revenue share arrangement.

For both the O&O and Partner Platforms businesses, advertising inventory provided to advertisers through the use of an advertising demand partner or agency, with whose fees or commission is calculated based on a stated percentage of gross advertising spending, we are considered the agent and our revenues are reported net of agency fees and commissions. We are considered the agent because the demand partner or agency controls all aspects of the transaction (pricing risk, inventory risk, obligation for fulfillment) except for the devices used to show the advertisements, therefore we report this advertising revenue net of agency fees and commissions.

Table of Contents

We are considered the principal in our arrangements with content providers in our O&O Platform business and with our arrangements with our third-party partners in our Partner Platforms business and thus report revenues on a gross basis (net of agency fees and commissions), wherein the amounts billed to our advertising demand partners, advertising agencies, and direct advertisers and sponsors are recorded as revenues, and amounts paid to content providers and third-party partners are recorded as expenses. We are considered the principal because we control the advertising space, are primarily responsible to our advertising demand partners and other parties filling our advertising inventory, have discretion in pricing and advertising fill rates and typically have an inventory risk.

For advertising revenue, we recognize revenue at the time the digital advertising impressions are filled and the advertisements are played and, for sponsorship revenue, we generally recognize revenue ratably over the term of the sponsorship arrangement as the sponsored advertisements are played.

Legacy and other business revenue

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, legacy and other business revenue accounts for the remaining 8% and 6%, respectively, of total revenue and includes streaming services, subscription content services, and hardware delivery, as described below:

Delivery of streaming services including content encoding and hosting. We recognize revenue over the term of the service based on bandwidth usage. Revenue from streaming services is insignificant.

Delivery of subscription content services in customized formats. We recognize revenue straight-line over the term of the service.

Delivery of hardware for ongoing subscription content delivery through software. We recognize revenue at the point of hardware delivery. Revenue from hardware sales is insignificant.

Transaction prices for performance obligations are explicitly outlined in relevant agreements; therefore, we do not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified.

Customer acquisition costs

Customer acquisition costs consist of marketing costs and affiliate fees associated with the O&O Platform business. They are included in operating expenses and expensed as incurred.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue for the O&O Platform and legacy businesses represents the amortized cost of ongoing licensing and hosting fees, which is recognized over time based on usage patterns. The depreciation expense associated with the Loop Players is not included in cost of sales.

Cost of revenue for the Partner Platform business represents hosting fees, amortized costs of internally-developed content, and the revenue share with third party partners (after deduction of allocated infrastructure costs). The cost of revenue is higher with partners within the Partner Platform versus those within the O&O Platform because we leverage our Partner Platform partners’ network of customers and their screens to deliver content and advertising inventory, rather than using our own Loop Players.

Deferred income

Deferred income represents our accounting for the timing difference between when fees are received and when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Table of Contents

Net loss per share

We account for net loss per share in accordance with ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”), 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 December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.


	December 31,	September 30,

On December 14, 2023, we entered into Warrant Reprice Letter Agreements with certain holders to amend the exercise price of existing exercisable warrants to $0.80 per share and to exercise an aggregate of 1,850,874 shares of our Common Stock for an aggregate exercise price of $1,480,699. The impact of the amendment resulted in a deemed dividend in the amount of $419,939, which was calculated based on the change in fair value.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share of our Common Stock is as follows:


	Three months ended December 31,
	2023		2022
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(5,285,402)	$	(5,259,439)

Income taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense. We have also made a policy election to treat the income tax with respect to global intangible low-tax income as a period expense when incurred.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2022 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for us in the annual period beginning October 1, 2025, though early adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the presentational effect that ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements, but we expect considerable changes to our income tax footnote.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. We measure the fair value of the stock-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the trading market (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered.

Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs represent legal, accounting and other direct costs related to our efforts to raise capital through a public or private sale of our Common Stock. Costs related to the public sale of our Common Stock are deferred until the completion of the applicable offering, at which time such costs are reclassified to additional paid-in-capital as a reduction of the proceeds. Costs related to the private sale of our Common Stock are deferred until the completion of the applicable offering, at which time such costs are amortized over the term of the applicable purchase agreement.

Employee retention credits

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was signed into law, providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”): a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERC. We qualified for the ERC in the third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded no aggregate benefit in our condensed combined income statement to reflect the ERC.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Previously reported accounts payable and accrued liabilities have now been disaggregated into accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued royalty. Further, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses have now been segregated from sales, general and administrative expenses and separately reported within operating expenses.

Restructuring costs

We undertook initiatives in fiscal year 2023 to increase efficiency and cut costs, while still maintaining our focus on, and dedication to, the continued growth of our business. During fiscal year 2023, we made cuts and adjustments across several aspects of our business. We completed a plan to reduce our overall SG&A costs including labor and various other operating costs. Part of this reduction included eliminating some non-revenue generating headcount, while continuing to invest in expansion of our revenue and ad sales team.

Recently adopted 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. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We adopted this ASU as of October 1, 2023, and there is no material impact to our financial statements as of December 31, 2023.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, that would enhance disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280. ASC 280 requires a public entity to report for each reportable segment a measure of segment profit or loss that its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to assess segment performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more useful financial analyses. Currently, Topic 280 requires that a public entity disclose certain information about its reportable segments. For example, a public entity is required to report a measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to assess segment performance and make decisions about allocating resources. ASC 280 also requires other specified segment items and amounts such as depreciation, amortization and depletion expense to be disclosed under certain circumstances. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 do not change or remove those disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 also do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the

Table of Contents

amendments in ASU 2023-07 retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3 – CONTENT ASSETS

Content Assets

The content we stream to our users is generally acquired by securing the intellectual property rights to the content through licenses from, and paying royalties or other consideration to, rights holders or their agents. The licensing can be for a fixed fee or can be a revenue sharing arrangement. The licensing arrangements specify the period when the content is available for streaming, the territories, the platforms, the fee structure and other standard content licensing terms defining the rights and/or restrictions for how the licensed content can be used by Loop Media. We also develop original content internally, which is capitalized when the content is ready and available for streaming, and generally amortized over a period of two to three years.

As of December 30, 2023, content assets were $1,937,900 recorded as Content asset, net – current and $304,180 recorded as Content asset, net – noncurrent, of which $122,647 was internally-developed content asset, net.

We recorded amortization expense in cost of revenue, in the consolidated statements of operations, related to capitalized content assets:


	December 31,
	2023		2022

	Remaining in Fiscal Year 2024		Fiscal Year 2025		Fiscal Year 2026
Licensed Content Assets	$	1,803,281	$	218,750	$	97,401
Internally-Developed Assets		54,645		59,440		8,563
Total	$	1,857,926	$	278,190	$	105,964

License Content Liabilities

As of December 31, 2023, we had $912,108 of obligations comprised of $521,746 in License content liability – current, $184,000 in License content liability - noncurrent and $206,362 in accounts payable on our consolidated balance sheets. Payments for content liabilities for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $201,862. The expected timing of payments for these content obligations is $497,746 payable in fiscal year 2024, $98,000 payable in fiscal year 2025 and $110,000 payable in fiscal year 2026.

NOTE 6 – OPERATING LEASES

Operating leases

As of December 31, 2023, we no longer have operating leases for office space and office equipment in excess of one year. Many of our prior leases included one or more options to renew, some of which included options to extend the leases for a long-term period, and some leases included options to terminate the leases within 30 days. In certain of our prior lease agreements, the rental payments were adjusted periodically to reflect actual charges incurred for capital area maintenance, utilities, inflation and/or changes in other indexes.

We had no lease liability as of December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023.

Revolving Lines of Credit

Excel Revolving Line of Credit

Effective as of December 14, 2023, we entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement with Excel Family Partners, LLLP (“Excel” and the “Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) for up to a principal sum of $2,500,000, under which we may pay down and re-borrow up to the maximum amount of the $2,500,000 limit (the “Excel Revolving Line of Credit”). Our drawdown on the Excel Revolving Line of Credit is limited to no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the last three full months’ revenue, not to exceed $1,250,000 in any quarter, and not to exceed in aggregate the outstanding debt amount of $2,500,000.The Excel Revolving Line of Credit is a perpetual loan, with a maturity date that is twelve (12) months from the date of formal notice of termination by Excel, and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to ten percent (10%) per year. Under the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to Excel a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement and the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit (each as described below), but is subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (as described below).

Table of Contents

Under the terms of the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, on December 14, 2023, we issued to Excel a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,125,000 shares of our Common Stock. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.80 per share, which was the closing price of our Common Stock on December 14, 2023, expires on December 14, 2026, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, Excel and its affiliates would beneficially own, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, no more than 29.99% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

We had not drawn down any funds from the Excel Revolving Line of Credit as of December 31, 2023.

Effective as of July 29, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Industrial Funding Group, Inc. (the “Initial Lender”) for a revolving loan credit facility for the initial principal sum of up to $4,000,000, and through the exercise of an accordion feature, a total sum of up to $10,000,000 (the “GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”), evidenced by a Revolving Loan Secured Promissory Note, also effective as of July 29, 2022 (the “GemCap Revolving Line of Credit”). Shortly after the effective date of the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit, the Initial Lender assigned the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, and the loan documents related thereto, to GemCap Solutions, LLC (“GemCap” or “Senior Lender.”) Availability for borrowing under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit is dependent upon our assets in certain eligible accounts and measures of revenue, subject to reduction for reserves that the Senior Lender may require in its discretion, and the accordion feature is a provision whereby we may request that the Senior Lender increase availability under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit, subject to its sole discretion. Effective as of October 27, 2022, we entered into Amendment Number 1 to the Loan and Security Agreement and to the Revolving Loan Agreement Schedule, and the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (Revolving Loans) with the Senior Lender to increase the principal sum available under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000. The GemCap Revolving Line of Credit matures on July 29, 2024, and began accruing interest on the unpaid principal balance of advances, payable monthly in arrears, on September 7, 2022, at an annual rate equal to the greater of (I) the sum of (i) the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal, adjusted as and when such Prime Rate changes, plus (ii) zero percent (0.00%), and (II) four percent (4.00%).

Under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, we have granted to the Senior Lender a first-priority security interest in all of our present and future property and assets, including products and proceeds thereof. In connection with the loan, our existing secured lenders, some of whom are the RAT Lenders under our RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit (each as defined below) (collectively, the “Subordinated Lenders”) delivered subordination agreements (the “GemCap Subordination Agreements”) to the Senior Lender. We are permitted to make regularly scheduled payments, including payments upon maturity, to such subordinated lenders and potentially other payments subject to a measure of cash flow and receiving certain financing activity proceeds, in accordance with the terms of the GemCap Subordination Agreements. In connection with the delivery of the GemCap Subordination Agreements by the Subordinated Lenders, on July 29, 2022, we issued warrants to each Subordinated Lender on identical terms for an aggregate of up to 296,329 shares of our Common Stock (each, a “Subordination Agreement Warrant”). Each Subordination Agreement Warrant has an exercise price of $5.25 per share, expires on July 29, 2025, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date. One warrant for 191,570 warrant shares was issued to Eagle Investment Group, LLC, an entity managed by Bruce Cassidy, Chairman of our Board of Directors (“Mr. Cassidy”), as directed by its affiliate, Excel Family Partners, LLLP (“Excel”), an entity also managed by Mr. Cassidy, one of the Subordinated Lenders. The Subordinated Lenders receiving warrants for the remaining 104,759 warrant shares were also entitled to receive a cash payment of $22,000 six months from the date of the GemCap Subordination Agreements, representing one percent (1.00%) of the outstanding principal amount of the loan held by such Subordinated Lenders. This cash payment was made to those Subordinated Lenders on January 25, 2023.

Non-Revolving Lines of Credit

RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit

Effective as of May 13, 2022, we entered into a Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) with several institutions and individuals (each a “RAT Lender” and collectively, the “RAT Lenders”) and RAT Investment Holdings, LP, as administrator of the loan (the “Loan Administrator”) for an aggregate principal amount of $2,200,000 (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit”), evidenced by a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “RAT Note”), also effective as of May 13, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit matured eighteen (18) months from the effective date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit (the “Line of Credit Maturity Date”) and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to twelve percent (12%) per year. Under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to the RAT Lenders a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (as defined above) and the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement (as defined below) and (each of which are subordinated in connection with our GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (as defined above)).

In connection with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, on May 13, 2022, we issued a warrant (collectively, the “RAT Loan Warrants”) to each RAT Lender for an aggregate of up to 209,522 shares of our Common Stock. Each RAT Loan Warrant had an exercise price of $5.25 per share, expires on May 13, 2025, and is exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date.

Effective as of November 13, 2023, we entered into a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement Amendment (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment”) with the RAT Lenders to: (i) extend the maturity date from eighteen (18) months to twenty-seven (27) months from the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, or August 13, 2024; and (ii) amend the payment terms of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit such that no payment of interest or principal under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement or the RAT Note will be due and payable from November 13, 2023, to the Line of Credit Maturity Date, as extended by the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment, except for (a) one payment of $374,000 on November 13, 2023, (comprised of accrued interest of $132,000 due through November 13, 2023, an initial payment of principal of $220,000 and $22,000 as consideration to extend the Line of Credit Maturity Date); and (b) nine (9) monthly payments of principal of $220,000 plus accrued interest, commencing December 13, 2023. In consideration for the extension of the Line of Credit Maturity Date, we agreed to amend the terms of the RAT Loan Warrants as well as the Subordination Agreement Warrants issued to the RAT Lenders in connection with the GemCap Subordination Agreements described above to reduce the warrant exercise price to $1.00. See “—GemCap Revolving Line of Credit.” We also agreed to apply one-third (1/3) of the net proceeds of any capital raise that takes place subsequent to the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment, other than proceeds from an equity offering under our ATM Sales Agreement (as defined below) or from an affiliate or insider, toward paying down the then outstanding principal amount due under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit. Pursuant to the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment, each RAT Lender agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement restricting the disposal of any shares of our Common Stock that are issued in connection with the exercise of the RAT Loan Warrants or the Subordination Agreement Warrants for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment.

May 2023 Secured Loan

Effective as of May 10, 2023, we entered into a Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement”) with several individuals and institutional lenders for aggregate loans of up to $4.0 million (the “May 2023 Secured Line of Credit”), evidenced by Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Notes (each a “May 2023 Secured Note” and collectively, the “May 2023 Secured Notes”), also effective as of May 10, 2023. The May 2023 Secured Line of Credit matures twenty-four (24) months from the date of the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to twelve percent (12%) per year. We granted to the lenders under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement and the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, but is subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement. See “— GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement.”

In connection with the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit, on May 10, 2023, we agreed to issue to each lender under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement, upon drawdown, a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 369,517 shares of our Common Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $4.33 per share, expire on May 10, 2026, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date.

As of May 10, 2023, Excel, an entity managed by Mr. Cassidy, had committed to be a lender under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement for an aggregate loan of $2.65 million, and as of September 11, 2023, Excel had not loaned any funds under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit. Pursuant to the terms of a Pay Off Letter Agreement with Excel dated September 12, 2023, we refinanced the outstanding principal and interest of the Excel $2.2M Line of Credit (as defined below) to be included as part of the obligations of the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement. As a result, as of September 12, 2023, Excel had loaned $2,266,733 under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement and received a warrant to purchase 209,398 shares of our Common Stock. See “Excel $2.2M Line of Credit.”

As of December 14, 2023, the outstanding principal and interest on Excel’s portion of the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit was $2,328,617 (the “Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Pay Off Amount”). On December 14, 2023, we entered into a Note Conversion Agreement with Excel (the “Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Note Conversion Agreement”) pursuant to which Excel agreed to convert the Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Amount owed under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement into 2,910,771 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a conversion price per share of $0.80. The Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Note Conversion Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties. Additionally, pursuant to a Warrant Reprice Letter Agreement entered into by Excel on December 14, 2023, the per share warrant exercise price of the Excel warrant for 209,398 shares of our Common Stock was repriced to $0.80 per warrant share and immediately exercised, and the net proceeds of $167,518.40 were delivered to the Company. See “Note 12 – Repricing and Exercise of Certain Warrants.”

The Excel $2.2M Line of Credit matured ninety (90) days from the date of the Excel $2.2M Secured Line of Credit Agreement having accrued interest, payable in arrears on the Excel $2.2M Line of Credit maturity date, at a fixed rate of interest equal to ten-and-one-half percent (10.5%) per year. Effective as of August 29, 2023, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Excel $2.2M Line of Credit Amendment Letter Agreement”) with Excel to amend the Excel $2.2M Line of Credit Agreement and the Excel $2.2M Note to extend the maturity date of the Excel $2.2M Secured Line of Credit from ninety (90) days to one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the Excel $2.2M Secured Line of Credit Agreement, or September 28, 2023.

Under the Excel $2.2M Secured Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to Excel a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest was pari passu with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, but subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement.

On September 12, 2023, we entered into a Pay Off Letter Agreement with Excel, pursuant to which we agreed to pay off the principal and interest outstanding under the $2.2M Line of Credit, amounting to $2,266,733 (the “$2.2M Line of Credit Pay Off Amount”) by refinancing the $2.2M Line of Credit Pay Off Amount to be included as part of the obligations under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement.

NOTE 12 – STOCK OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (RSUs) 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 our historical stock prices. We account for the expected life of options based on the contractual life of options for non-employees. For employees, we account 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.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the three months ended December 31, 2023:


	Number of	Weighted Average		Weighted Average	Aggregate
	Options	Exercise Price		Remaining Contractual Term	Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at September 30, 2023	8,849,305	$	3.84	6.35	$	—
Grants	66,666		0.36			42,600
Exercised	—		—
Expired	(677)		6.23
Forfeited	—		—
Outstanding at December 31, 2023	8,915,294	$	3.81	6.12	$	42,600
Exercisable at December 31, 2023	7,531,815	$	3.67	5.62	$	—

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding tables represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than our stock price of $1.00 as of December 31, 2023, and $6.62 as of December 31, 2022, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date.

We recognize compensation expense for all stock options granted using the fair value-based method of accounting. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we issued 66,666 options valued at $0.36 per option. As

of December 31, 2023, the total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized is $3,613,579 and the weighted average period over which expense is expected to be recognized in months is 27.2.

We calculated the fair value of options issued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions:


	December 31, 2023

Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	0.36
Expected life		6.08	years
Risk-free interest rate		4.67	%

Restricted Stock Units

On September 18, 2022, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) awards to certain officers and key employees pursuant to the terms of the Loop Media, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”).

On September 22, 2022, we granted an aggregate of 890,000 RSUs, which vest over time subject to continued service. Each RSU was valued at the public offering price during our initial public offering of $5.00 per share, and twenty-five percent (25%) of the RSUs vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remainder in equal quarterly installments over the following three-year period.

On January 3, 2023, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved RSU awards as compensation to members of our Board of Directors pursuant to the 2020 Plan.

On January 3, 2023, we granted an aggregate of 212,004 RSUs which vest over time subject to continued service. Each RSU was valued at $6.23 per share. Twenty-five percent (25%) of 130,464 RSUs vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remainder in equal quarterly installments over the following three-year period. One hundred percent (100%) of 81,540 RSUs vest on the day after the end of the fiscal year in which the grant was made.

On July 1, 2023, we granted an aggregate of 54,393 RSUs which vested one hundred percent (100%) on the grant date. Each RSU was valued at $2.39 per share.

The following table summarizes the RSU activity for the three months ended December 31, 2023:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding tables represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our stock price of $1.00 as of December 31, 2023, and $6.62 as of December 31, 2022, which would have been received by the RSU holders as of that date.

The stock-based compensation expense related to RSU grants was $326,263 and $279,645, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, the total compensation cost related to nonvested RSU awards not yet recognized was $3,555,040 and the weighted average period over which expense is expected to be recognized in months was 33.3.

We record all warrants granted using the fair value-based method of accounting.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we issued 3,125,000 warrants in conjunction with a revolving line of credit. We allocated the fair value of the warrants at inception as deferred costs. Once we draw down funds on the revolving line of credit, we will re-allocate the fair value of the warrants as debt discount and record the straight-line amortization ratably over the life of the debt as interest expense.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded consulting expense of $40,835 as a result of current period vesting of previously issued warrants to various companies for consulting services.

We calculated the fair value of warrants issued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions:

Repricing and Exercise of Certain Existing Warrants

On December 14, 2023, we agreed to offer to amend certain existing warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 4,055,240 shares of our Common Stock (each such warrant an “Existing Warrant”) to reduce the respective exercise prices thereof to $0.80 per share (such new price being referred to as the “Amended Warrant Exercise Price”), which was the closing price per share of our common stock as quoted on the NYSE American on December 13, 2023, on the condition that the holder of each Existing Warrant would commit to exercise the Existing Warrant within eight (8) business days from the date the warrant holder entered into a binding agreement, or some other number of days to be agreed by the Existing Warrant holder (the “Warrant Reprice Letter Agreement”), paying the aggregate Amended Warrant Exercise

Table of Contents

Price of each respective Existing Warrant in cash to the Company (the “Warrant Repricing”). Holders of Existing Warrants had until 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 31, 2023, to enter into a Warrant Reprice Letter Agreement, after which time the original per share warrant exercise price of Existing Warrants would remain unchanged. Existing Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 786,482 shares of our common stock were held by Excel Family Partners, LLLP, and Eagle Investment Group, LLC, entities managed by Bruce Cassidy, Sr., Chairman of our Board of Directors. Existing Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 443,332 shares of our Common Stock were held by Denise Penz, a member of our Board of Directors. Each of Mr. Cassidy and Ms. Penz entered into Warrant Reprice Letter Agreements to exercise their Existing Warrants, and as of December 31, 2023, each exercised their Existing Warrants resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $983,851. As of December 31, 2023, holders of Existing Warrants (including those held by Mr. Cassidy and Ms. Penz) had exercised an aggregate of 1,850,874 shares for an aggregate exercise price of $1,480,699. We do not expect any other warrants to be repriced and exercised under the Warrant Repricing.

Overview

We are a multichannel digital video platform media company that uses marketing technology, or “MarTech,” to generate our revenue and offer our services. Our technology and vast library of videos and licensed content enable us to curate and distribute short-form videos to connected televisions (“CTV”) in out-of-home (“OOH”) dining, hospitality and retail establishments, convenience stores and other locations and venues to enable the operators of those locations to inform, entertain and engage their customers. Our technology also provides businesses the ability to promote and advertise

Table of Contents

their products via digital signage and provides third-party advertisers with a targeted marketing and promotional tool for their products and services. We also allow our business clients to access our service without advertisements by paying a monthly subscription fee.

We offer hand-curated music video content licensed from major and independent record labels, including Universal Music Group (“Universal”), Sony Music Entertainment (“Sony”), and Warner Music Group (“Warner” and collectively with Universal and Sony, the “Music Labels”), as well as non-music video content. Our non-music video content is predominantly licensed or acquired from third parties, including action sports clips, drone and nature footage, trivia, news headlines, lifestyle channels and kid-friendly videos, as well as movie, television and video game trailers, amongst other content. We distribute our content and advertising inventory to digital screens located in OOH locations primarily through (i) our owned and operated platform (the “O&O Platform”) of Loop Media-designed “small-box” streaming Android media players (“Loop Players”) and legacy ScreenPlay (as defined below) computers and (ii) through screens (“Partner Screens”) on digital platforms owned and operated by third parties (each a “Partner Platform” and collectively the “Partner Platforms,” and together with the O&O Platform, the “Loop Platform”).

As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 77,000 active Loop Players and Partner Screens across the Loop Platform, which include 33,783 quarterly active Loop Players, or QAUs (as defined below) across our O&O Platform, an increase of 26% (or 6,880 QAUs) over the 26,903 QAUs for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and a decrease of 3,238 over the 37,021 QAUs for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and approximately 43,000 Partner Screens across our Partner Platforms, an increase of 153% (or 26,000) over the 17,000 Partner Screens for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and an increase of 1,000 Partner Screens over the 42,000 Partner Screens for quarter ended September 30, 2023. See “— Key Performance Indicators.”

We have two primary constituents that are included in our customer base: the OOH locations we service and the advertisers who purchase advertising inventory on the Loop Platform. We earn revenue from these customers primarily by selling advertising inventory on the Loop Platform and by collecting subscription fees from our O&O Platform owners and operators that are streaming advertising-free content.

The O&O Platform

The foundation of our business model is built around the OOH experience, with a focus on distributing licensed music videos and other content to public-facing business venues and locations. Our OOH offering has supported hospitality and retail businesses for over 20 years, originally through ScreenPlay, Inc. (“ScreenPlay”), which we fully acquired in 2019. Since the acquisition of ScreenPlay, we have primarily focused on acquiring OOH clients throughout the United States. We have sought very limited expansion into Canada and are testing potential expansion into New Zealand and Australia.

We deliver content across our O&O Platform to the owners and operators of OOH locations who sign up for our media service. We sell advertising impressions contained in the content streams to demand sources, including demand-side platforms (“DSPs”), supply-side platforms (“SSPs”) and advertisers, who pay us to fill those impressions and have their ads delivered into the OOH locations that utilize our services. We also allow OOH locations on our O&O Platform to access our content without advertisements by paying a monthly subscription fee.

From a business operations standpoint, for the O&O Platform business, we view our customers as the owners and operators of the OOH locations that use our content services to engage and entertain the customers that visit the OOH locations. Our customer services team works with the owners and operators of OOH locations in our O&O Platform business to ensure our customers are being properly serviced and addressing any questions about the service, content, advertising performance and other matters.

From an accounting standpoint, for the O&O Platform business, our customers are considered to be those persons that provide revenue to us, which includes the owners and operators of the OOH locations that utilize a subscription-based service, and the advertising demand sources (including DSPs, SSPs and advertisers) that purchase our advertising inventory on the O&O Platform. From an accounting standpoint, the owners and operators of the OOH

Table of Contents

locations utilizing a free advertising-based service on our O&O Platform are not our customers. Instead, it is the advertising demand sources that are our customers because they are providing revenue to us (by way of purchasing advertising inventory) for the streaming of content to those OOH locations utilizing an ad-free service.

We record as cost of revenue in the O&O Platform business certain costs and expenses associated with operating such business, including the cost of content, streaming costs, and content hosting fees. We procure content from third parties though licensing fees or by purchasing the content outright. Certain of our content, including our music video and certain third-party non-music content, are under licenses that contain a revenue share arrangement. We and the licensor of the content negotiate and pre-agree the percentage of revenue to which each party is entitled. The cost of content, including any payments to licenses under a revenue share license, is the single largest component of the cost of revenue associated with the O&O Platform business.

The Partner Platform

The screens in our Partner Platform business may deliver content that we curate and deliver or content that is provided by the owners and operators of third-party digital platforms. We make available to our Partner Platforms clients’ channels of original content developed using licensed or purchased content that is then reformatted into short-form content suitable for commercial use.

We provide advertising demand services to third parties by selling ad impressions available on the Partner Platform to advertising demand sources (including DSPs, SSPs and advertisers) who pay us to fill those impressions and have ads delivered across the Partner Platform. If the advertising impressions are filled with advertisements, we will fulfill our obligation and be paid as the publisher of the advertisement. If advertising impressions are not purchased, the content will play without advertisements and no revenue will be earned by us.

From a business operations standpoint, for our Partner Platform services, we view as our customers the owners and operators of the third-party digital platforms that utilize our content and advertising services and enable such third parties to better monetize the screens on their digital platforms. We may, in certain instances, also provide content across the Partner Platform.

Our customer services team works with the owners and operators of the third-party digital platforms in our Partner Platform business to ensure our customers are being properly serviced and addressing any questions about the service, content, advertising performance and other matters.

From an accounting standpoint, for the Partner Platform business, our customers are the advertising demand sources (including DSPs, SSPs and advertisers) because they are providing revenue to us (by way of purchasing advertising inventory) for the streaming of content across the Partner Platform. The Partner Platform business operates a free-ad supported business model and has no subscription fees.

The revenue share arrangements in the O&O Platform business are included in the cost of revenue. The content streamed on the Partner Platforms is content we procure on licenses that do not contain an element of revenue share or content provided by the third-party partner who owns and operates the screens on the Partner Platform. As such, there are no content partner revenue share arrangements on the Partner Platform. There is, however, a revenue share arrangement with the third-party partner who owns and operates the screens on the Partner Platform. We deduct from the revenue we generate in the Partner Platform business certain costs and expenses associated with operating such business (including streaming costs and content hosting) and then allocate the remaining revenue between us and the third-party digital platform provider, based on pre-agreed negotiated percentages. The percentage of revenue we pass along to third-party digital platform providers is recorded as cost of revenue and is our single largest cost of revenue component for the Partner Platform business.

Key Performance Indicators

We review our quarterly active units (“QAUs”) and average revenue per unit player (“ARPU”), among other key performance indicators, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

Quarterly Active Units

We define an “active unit” as (i) an ad-supported Loop Player DOOH (defined below) location using our ad- supported service through our “Loop for Business” application or using an DOOH venue-owned computer screening our content) that is online, used on our O&O Platform, playing content and has checked into the Loop Media analytics system at least once in the 90-day period ending on the date of measurement, or (ii) a DOOH location customer using our subscription service on our O&O Platform at any time during the 90-day period. We use “QAU” to refer to the number of such active units during such period. We do not count towards our QAUs any Loop Players or screens used on our Partner Platform.

Digital out-of-home (“DOOH”) is a form of media that is delivered digitally outside of the home on billboards, signage, displays, televisions, and other devices in OOH locations, including restaurants, retail shops, healthcare facilities, sports and entertainment venues, and other public or non-residential spaces.

As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 77,000 active Loop Players and Partner Screens across the Loop Platform, which includes 33,783 QAUs across our O&O Platform, an increase of 26% (or 6,880 QAUs) over the 26,903 QAUs for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and a decrease of 9% (or 3,238) over the 37,021 QAUs for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and approximately 43,000 Partner Screens across our Partner Platforms, an increase of 153% (or 26,000) over the 17,000 Partner Screens for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and an increase of 2% (or 1,000) Partner Screens over the 42,000 Partner Screens for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Our QAU footprint for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was reduced as a result of natural attrition of Loop Players that were not immediately replaced, as we transitioned to a more targeted distribution model, pivoting our focus to certain designated advertising markets and geographies, as well as more desirable out-of-home locations and venues, including convenience stores, restaurants, bars, and other retail establishments. We believe this targeted distribution plan will allow us to grow our QAUs quarter on quarter and provide a more robust distribution platform for our advertising partners. In addition, a number of our Loop Players experienced downtime in September 2023 as a result of an operating program update and technical issues related to outdated WiFi in a number of our customer venues. Not all of those Loop Players returned to active performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. QAUs were 37,021 as of the quarter ended September 30, 2023, 34,898 as of the quarter ended June 30, 2023, 32,734 as of the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and 26,903 as of the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Average Revenue Per Unit

We define a “unit player” as (i) an ad-supported Loop Player (or a DOOH location using our ad- supported service through our “Loop for Business” application or using a DOOH location-owned computer screening our content) that is online, used on our O&O Platform, playing content and has checked into the Loop Media analytics system at least once in the 90-day period or (ii) a DOOH location customer using our paid subscription service on our O&O Platform at any time during the 90-day period. A unit player that is supported by our advertising-based revenue model is an ad-supported unit player and a unit player that is supported by a subscription-based revenue model is a subscription unit player. We calculate advertising ARPU (“AD ARPU”) by dividing quarterly revenues from our DOOH ad-supported service on our O&O Platform for the period by QAUs for our ad-supported unit players on our O&O Platform. We calculate subscription ARPU (“SUB ARPU”) by dividing quarterly revenues from our DOOH subscription-supported service on our O&O Platform for the period by QAUs for our subscription-supported unit players on our O&O Platform. We do not include in our unit players count, AD ARPU or SUB ARPU any Loop Players or screens used on our Partner Platform.

Table of Contents

Our AD ARPU fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the length of time in a quarter that a unit player is activated and operating, the cost-per-thousand ad impressions (“CPMs”) we are able to achieve for our advertising impressions, and the advertising fill rates that we are able to achieve. Our SUB ARPU fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the timing of the start of a customer subscription for a subscription-supported unit player, the number of ad-supported unit players we have, and the price clients pay for those subscriptions. An increase in the number of unit players over the course of a quarterly period may have the effect of decreasing quarterly ARPU, particularly if such players are added towards the end of the quarterly period. Increases or decreases in ARPU may not correspond with increases or decreases in our revenue, and ARPU may be calculated in a manner different than any similar key performance indicator used by other companies.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, AD ARPU was $142, compared to $90 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a 58% increase. AD ARPU was $114 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, $99 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and $324 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, SUB ARPU was $426, compared to $353 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a 21% increase. SUB ARPU was $222 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, $260 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and $323 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

The majority of our revenue is generated from ad sales, which is recognized at the time the digital advertising impressions are filled and the advertisements are played. Revenue generated from content subscription services in customized formats is recognized over the term of the service. The revenue generated from hardware for ongoing subscription content delivery is recognized at the point of the hardware delivery. Revenue generated from content and streaming services, including content encoding and hosting, are recognized over the term of the service based on bandwidth usage.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue for the O&O Platform and legacy businesses represents the amortized cost of ongoing licensing and hosting fees, which is recognized over time based on usage patterns. Licensing fees include fees paid under both our revenue share and fixed-fee arrangements. The depreciation expense associated with the Loop players is not included in cost of sales.

Cost of revenue for the Partner Platforms business represents hosting fees, amortized costs of internally-developed content, and the revenue share with third party partners (after deduction of allocated infrastructure costs). The cost of revenue is higher with partners within the Partner Platform versus those within the O&O Platform because we leverage our Partner Platforms clients’ network of customers and their screens to deliver content and advertising inventory, rather than using our own Loop players.

Total Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are attributable to the general overhead related to all the products and services that we provide to our clients and, as a result, they are presented in an aggregate total. Our operating expenses include sales, general and administrative expenses and restructuring costs.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and related costs associated with our sales and marketing staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and commissions as well as costs relating

Table of Contents

to our marketing and business development. We intend to continue to invest resources in our sales and marketing initiatives to drive growth and extend our market position.

General and administrative expenses consist of employee compensation and related costs for executive, finance/accounting, legal, human resources, recruiting, and employee-related information technology and administrative personnel, including salaries, benefits, and bonuses, as well as depreciation, facilities, recruiting and other corporate services.

Restructuring Costs

As previously disclosed, we undertook initiatives in fiscal year 2023 to increase efficiency and cut costs, while still maintaining our focus on, and dedication to, the continued growth of our business. We made cuts and adjustments across several aspects of our business. During fiscal year 2023, we completed a plan to reduce our overall SG&A costs by approximately 20% including labor and various other operating costs. Part of this reduction included eliminating some non-revenue generating headcount, while continuing to invest in expansion of our revenue and ad sales team.

Other Income/Expense

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of interest expense on our outstanding indebtedness and amortization of debt issuance costs.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income consists of employee retention credits, foreign currency translation adjustment, realized foreign current gains/losses and unrealized gains/losses.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2022 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following tables set forth our results of operations for the periods presented. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of future results.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022:

Revenue

Our revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $10,171,256, a decrease of $4,654,575, or 31%, from $14,825,831 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a lack of political ad placements in the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, which period experienced significant political ad spend in connection with the U.S. congressional and local elections, as well as a slowdown in digital advertising spend, as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, due to the more challenging macroeconomic environment in the three months ended December 31, 2023.

We also saw a slowdown in ad spending in the last couple of weeks of our first quarter of fiscal year 2024 due to one of the largest ad demand participants changing their terms of business with ad publishers. This change had a material adverse impact on our ad demand partner revenue for the last weeks of December 2023 and is expected to have an even greater impact on our results in the three months ending March 31, 2024. We are actively working with demand partners to integrate these changes to adhere to the new policies and try and restore demand from this ad demand

participant, although there can be no assurance that demand will be restored or restored at the previous levels experienced in our first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $6,546,717, a decrease of $2,593,083, or 28%, from $9,139,800 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to decreased revenue offset by revenue mix and incremental licensing costs.

Gross Profit Margin

Our gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $3,624,539, a decrease of $2,061,492, or 36%, from $5,686,031 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Our gross profit margin as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was approximately 35.6% compared to 38.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The percentage decrease was primarily driven by revenue mix as the year-ago period included a smaller portion of our Partner Platform business, which carries lower gross margin but higher operating margin.

We continue to focus on improving our margins by changing the mix of premium content that we play on our O&O Platform. We have negotiated new content licenses for certain of our non-music video content, which has allowed us to lower the cost of existing channels and create new lower cost channels. As these agreements take effect and we drive viewers to these channels, we expect to see improved margins for our non-music video channels as a group in our 2024 fiscal year.

The relative contributions to total revenue of our O&O Platform and Partner Platforms businesses will impact our gross profit margin as a percentage of total revenue in future periods. Each of these businesses have different cost of revenue components with a lower gross profit margin in our Partner Platforms business.

Total Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $7,881,077, a decrease of $2,055,580, or 21%, from $9,936,657 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in sales, general and administrative expenses as well as stock-based compensation as follows:

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Our Sales, General and Administrative Expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $6,170,977, a decrease of $1,787,157, or 22%, from $7,958,134 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in Sales, General and Administrative expenses was primarily due to a reduction in digital spend resulting in lower expenditures and decreased payroll expenses and a reversal of other compensation-related expenses incurred in a prior period, partially offset by increased capital raise costs and increased bad debt reserve from growth in our receivables.

Our customer acquisition cost is primarily influenced by the cost of our Loop Player distribution to OOH locations. In recent months, we have shifted our focus from digital advertising to expanding our affiliate network, which compensates third parties upon the successful installation and operation of our Loop Players and services, allowing us to defer payment for acquiring new customers until they are acquired.

More specifically:

●

Our payroll costs for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $2,119,178, a decrease of $1,368,571, or 39%, from $3,487,749 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by a reduction in sales commissions and the write-off of corporate bonuses accrued in prior periods that were not paid.

Table of Contents

●

Our marketing costs for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $2,178,247, a decrease of $946,780, or 30%, from $3,125,027 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to reduction in digital advertising spend resulting in lower marketing expenditures.

●

Our professional fees for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $518,186, an increase of $53,048, or 11%, from $465,138 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in accounting and legal fees.

●

Our administration fees for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $230,604, a decrease of $166,606, or 42%, from $397,210 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in insurance premiums.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was 60.7% compared to 53.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock compensation (non-cash) for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $1,328,225, a decrease of $462,582, or 26%, from $1,790,807 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to decrease of stock option award grants to employees.

Restructuring Costs

As previously disclosed in prior quarters, we undertook initiatives in fiscal year 2023 to increase efficiency and cut costs, while still maintaining our focus on, and dedication to, the continued growth of our business. During fiscal year 2023, we made cuts and adjustments across several aspects of our business and completed a plan to reduce our overall SG&A costs by approximately 20% including labor and various other operating costs. Part of this reduction included eliminating some non-revenue generating headcount, while continuing to invest in expansion of our revenue and ad sales team.

We had no restructuring costs for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

Total Other Expense

Our total other expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $1,028,864, a slight increase of $21,281, or 2%, from $1,007,583 total other expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This increase in other expenses was primarily driven by the loss on extinguishment of debt.

Non-GAAP EBITDA

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA (as defined below), a financial measure that is not part of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, provides investors with additional information about our financial results. EBITDA is an important supplemental measure used by our Board of Directors and management to evaluate our operating performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis and as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest expense (income), income tax (expense)/benefit, depreciation and amortization.

EBITDA is not measured in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As a non-GAAP measure, EBITDA has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In particular:

●

EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we paid in interest expense on our outstanding debt;

Table of Contents

●

EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we received in interest income on our investments;

●

EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we paid in taxes or other components of our tax provision;

●

EBITDA does not include depreciation expense from fixed assets; and

●

EBITDA does not include amortization expense.

Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures including net income (loss) and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:


	Three months ended December 31,
	2023		2022
GAAP net loss	$	(5,285,402)	$	(5,259,439)

EBITDA	$	(3,094,331)	$	(3,380,743)

*Includes amortization of content assets for cost of revenue and operating expenses and ATM facility.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not part of U.S. GAAP, provides investors with additional information about our financial results. Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure used by our Board of Directors and management to evaluate our operating performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis and as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense (income), income tax (expense)/benefit, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for stock-based compensation and non-recurring income and expenses, if any.

Adjusted EBITDA is not measured in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As a non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In particular:

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we paid in interest expense on our outstanding debt;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we paid in taxes or other components of our tax provision;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation expense from fixed assets;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not include amortization expense;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of stock-based compensation;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of non-recurring expense;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of the loss on the extinguishment of debt; and

Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of other income including foreign currency translation adjustments, realized foreign currency gains/losses and unrealized gains/losses.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures including net income (loss) and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2023, we had cash of $3,811,159. Historically, our principal sources of cash have included revenues from our operations, proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), preferred stock and warrants as well as proceeds from the issuance of debt.

Although historically we have reported significant recurring losses as well as negative cash flows used in operations, we intend to meet future cash requirements and maintain operations by continuing to reduce overall operating expenses, continuing to focus on increasing the scope and size of the Partner Platforms and explore alternative revenue generating sources to generate cash through operations while continuing to fund through financing activities, including sales of Common Stock under our ATM Sales Agreement, and through the use of equity and debt instruments available to us.

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023, and 2022

Net Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities

Our net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $1,526,995, a decrease of $5,296,234, or 78%, from $6,823,229 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by decreased SG&A expenditures and stock-based compensation expense.

Net Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $394,401, a decrease of $223,631, or 36%, from $618,032 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in the purchase of property and equipment.

Net Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $2,663,859, an increase of $1,540,868, or 137%, from $1,122,991 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to proceeds from the exercise of warrants as well as proceeds from a revolving line of credit offset by repayments on lines of credit.

As a result of the above activities, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a cash balance of $3,811,159, a decrease of $3,942,485, or 51%, from $7,753,644 for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Future Capital Requirements

We have generated limited revenue, and as of December 31, 2023, our cash totaled $3,811,159, and we had an accumulated deficit of $133,570,945. We believe that our existing cash, sales of our Common Stock under our ATM Sales Agreement (as defined below) as well as funds available under our borrowing facilities will enable us to fund our operations for at least twelve months from the date of this Report. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future; however, changing circumstances may cause us to expend cash significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more cash than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control.

Historically, our principal sources of cash have included proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock, preferred stock and warrants and proceeds from the issuance of debt. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations, payments for license rights and payments relating to purchases of property and equipment. We expect that the principal uses of cash in the future will be for continuing operations, and general working capital requirements. We expect that as our operations continue to grow, we will need to raise additional capital to sustain operations and growth.

Revolving Lines of Credit

Excel Revolving Line of Credit

Effective as of December 14, 2023, we entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement with Excel Family Partners, LLLP (“Excel” and the “Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) for up to a principal sum of $2,500,000, under which we may pay down and re-borrow up to the maximum amount of the $2,500,000 limit (the “Excel Revolving Line of Credit”). Our drawdown on the Excel Revolving Line of Credit is limited to no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the last three full months’ revenue, not to exceed $1,250,000 in any quarter, and not to exceed in aggregate the outstanding debt amount of $2,500,000.The Excel Revolving Line of Credit is a perpetual loan, with a maturity date that is twelve (12) months from the date of formal notice of termination by Excel, and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to ten percent (10%) per year. Under the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to Excel a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement and the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit (each as defined below), but is subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (each as defined below).

Under the terms of the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, on December 14, 2023, we issued to Excel a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,125,000 shares of our Common Stock. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.80 per share, which was the closing price of our Common Stock on December 13, 2023, expires on December 14, 2026, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, Excel and its affiliates would beneficially own, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), no more than 29.99% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

We had not drawn down any funds from the Excel Revolving Line of Credit as of December 31, 2023.

GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement

Effective as of July 29, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Industrial Funding Group, Inc. (the “Initial Lender”) for a revolving loan credit facility for the initial principal sum of up to $4,000,000, and through the exercise of an accordion feature, a total sum of up to $10,000,000 (the “GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”), evidenced by a Revolving Loan Secured Promissory Note, also effective as of July 29, 2022 (the “GemCap Revolving Line of Credit”). Shortly after the effective date of the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, the Initial Lender assigned the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, and the loan documents related thereto, to GemCap Solutions, LLC (“GemCap” or the “Senior Lender”). Availability for borrowing under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit is dependent upon our assets in certain eligible accounts and measures of revenue, subject to reduction for reserves that the Senior Lender may require in its discretion, and the accordion feature is a provision whereby we may request that the Senior Lender increase availability under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit, subject to its sole discretion. Effective as of October 27, 2022, we entered into Amendment Number 1 to the Loan and Security Agreement and to the Revolving Loan Agreement Schedule, and the Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (Revolving Loans) with the Senior Lender to increase the principal sum available under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000. The GemCap Revolving Line of Credit matures on July 29, 2024, and began accruing interest on the unpaid principal balance of advances, payable monthly in arrears, on September 7, 2022, at an annual rate equal to the greater of (I) the sum of (i) the “Prime Rate” as reported in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal, adjusted as and when such Prime Rate changes, plus (ii) zero percent (0.00%), and (II) four percent (4.00%).

Table of Contents

July 29, 2022, we issued warrants to each Subordinated Lender on identical terms for an aggregate of up to 296,329 shares of our Common Stock (each, a “Subordination Agreement Warrant”). Each Subordination Agreement Warrant has an exercise price of $5.25 per share, expires on July 29, 2025, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date. One warrant for 191,570 warrant shares was issued to Eagle Investment Group, LLC, an entity managed by Bruce Cassidy, Chairman of our Board of Directors (“Mr. Cassidy”), as directed by its affiliate, Excel Family Partners, LLLP (“Excel”), an entity also managed by Mr. Cassidy, one of the Subordinated Lenders. The Subordinated Lenders receiving warrants for the remaining 104,759 warrant shares were also entitled to receive a cash payment of $22,000 six months from the date of the GemCap Subordination Agreements, representing one percent (1.00%) of the outstanding principal amount of the loan held by such Subordinated Lenders. This cash payment was made to those Subordinated Lenders on January 25, 2023.

Non-Revolving Lines of Credit

RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit

Effective as of May 13, 2022, we entered into a Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement”) with several institutions and individuals (each a “RAT Lender” and collectively, the “RAT Lenders”) and RAT Investment Holdings, LP, as administrator of the loan (the “Loan Administrator”) for an aggregate principal amount of $2,200,000 (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit”), evidenced by a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “RAT Note”), also effective as of May 13, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit matured eighteen (18) months from the effective date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Line of Credit Maturity Date”) and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to twelve percent (12%) per year. Under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, we granted to the RAT Lenders a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (as defined above) and the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement (as defined below) and (each of which are subordinated in connection with our GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (as defined above)).

In connection with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, on May 13, 2022, we issued a warrant to each RAT Lender (collectively, the “RAT Loan Warrants”) for an aggregate of up to 209,522 shares of our Common Stock. Each RAT Loan Warrant had an exercise price of $5.25 per share, expires on May 13, 2025, and is exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date.

Effective as of November 13, 2023, we entered into a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement Amendment (the “RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment”) with the RAT Lenders to: (i) extend the maturity date from eighteen (18) months to twenty-seven (27) months from the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, or August 13, 2024; and (ii) amend the payment terms of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit such that no payment of interest or principal under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement or the RAT Note will be due and payable from November 13, 2023, to the Line of Credit Maturity Date, as extended by the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment, except for (a) one payment of $374,000 on November 13, 2023, (comprised of accrued interest of $132,000 due through November 13, 2023, an initial payment of principal of $220,000 and $22,000 as consideration to extend the Line of Credit Maturity Date); and (b) nine (9) monthly payments of principal of $220,000 plus accrued interest, commencing December 13, 2023. In consideration for the extension of the Line of Credit Maturity Date, we agreed to amend the terms of the RAT Loan Warrants as well as the Subordination Agreement Warrants issued to the RAT Lenders in connection with the GemCap Subordination Agreements described above to reduce the respective exercise prices thereof to $1.00. See “—GemCap Revolving Line of Credit.” We also agreed to apply one-third (1/3) of the net proceeds of any capital raise that takes place subsequent to the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment, other than proceeds from an equity offering under our ATM Sales Agreement (as defined below) or from an affiliate or insider, toward paying down the then outstanding principal amount due under the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit. Pursuant to the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment, each RAT Lender agreed to enter

into a lock-up agreement restricting the disposal of any shares of our Common Stock that are issued in connection with the exercise of the RAT Loan Warrants or the Subordination Agreement Warrants for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Amendment.

May 2023 Secured Loan

Effective as of May 10, 2023, we entered into a Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement (the “May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement”) with several individuals and institutional lenders for aggregate loans of up to $4.0 million (the “May 2023 Secured Line of Credit”), evidenced by the Secured Non-Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Notes (each a “May 2023 Secured Note” and collectively, the “May 2023 Secured Notes”), also effective as of May 10, 2023. The May 2023 Secured Line of Credit matures twenty-four (24) months from the date of the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to twelve percent (12%) per year. We granted to the lenders under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement a security interest in all of our present and future assets and properties, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever located, including products and proceeds thereof, which security interest is pari passu with the RAT Non-Revolving Line of Credit Agreement and the Excel Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, but is subordinate in rights to GemCap under the GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement. See “— GemCap Revolving Line of Credit Agreement.”

In connection with the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit, on May 10, 2023, we agreed to issue to each lender under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement, upon a drawdown, a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 369,517 shares of our Common Stock. Each warrant has an exercise price of $4.33 per share, expires on May 10, 2026, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date.

As of December 14, 2023, the outstanding principal and interest on Excel’s portion of the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit was $2,328,617 (the “Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Pay Off Amount”) of the total aggregate principal and interest outstanding under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit of $3,262,817. On December 14, 2023, we entered into a Note Conversion Agreement with Excel (the “Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Note Conversion Agreement”) pursuant to which Excel agreed to convert the Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Amount owed under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Agreement into 2,910,771 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a conversion price per share of $0.80. The Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Note Conversion Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties. Additionally, pursuant to a Warrant Reprice Letter Agreement entered into by Excel on December 14, 2023, the per share warrant exercise price of the Excel warrant for 209,398 shares of our Common Stock was repriced to $0.80 per warrant share and immediately exercised, and the net proceeds of $167,518.40 were delivered to the Company. See “ – Repricing and Exercise of Certain Warrants.”

On December 31, 2023, one of the remaining lenders under the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit converted $101,699.83 in outstanding principal and interest into 127,124 shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price per share of $0.80. As a result, as of December 31, 2023, a total principal amount of $800,000 remained on the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit, and there were outstanding warrants for a total of 83,142 warrant shares that have been issued to the remaining lenders in connection with the May 2023 Secured Line of Credit.

Repricing and Exercise of Certain Existing Warrants

On December 14, 2023, we agreed to offer to amend certain existing warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 4,055,240 shares of the Company’s common stock (each such warrant an “Existing Warrant”) to reduce the respective exercise prices thereof to $0.80 per share (such new price being referred to as the “Amended Warrant Exercise Price”), which was the closing price per share of our common stock as quoted on the NYSE American on December 13, 2023, on the condition that the holder of each Existing Warrant would commit to exercise the Existing Warrant within eight (8) business days from the date the warrant holder entered into a binding agreement, or some other number of days to be agreed by the Existing Warrant holder (the “Warrant Reprice Letter Agreement”), paying the aggregate Amended Warrant Exercise Price of each respective Existing Warrant in cash to the Company (the “Warrant Repricing”). Holders of Existing Warrants had until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 31, 2023, to enter into a Warrant Reprice Letter Agreement, after which time the original per share warrant exercise price of Existing Warrants would remain unchanged. Existing Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 786,482 shares of our common stock were held by Excel Family Partners, LLLP, and Eagle Investment Group, LLC, entities managed by Bruce Cassidy, Sr., Chairman of our Board of Directors. Existing Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 443,332 shares of our common stock were held by Denise Penz, a member of our Board of Directors. Each of Mr. Cassidy and Ms. Penz entered into Warrant Reprice Letter Agreements to exercise their Existing Warrants, and as of December 31, 2023, each exercised their Existing Warrants resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $983,851. As of December 31, 2023, holders of Existing Warrants (including those held by Mr. Cassidy and Ms. Penz) had exercised an aggregate of 1,850,874 shares for an aggregate exercise price of $1,480,699. We do not expect any other warrants to be repriced and exercised under the Warrant Repricing.

Shelf Registration ($50 Million ATM)

On December 22, 2022, we filed a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 that has been declared effective by the SEC. On May 12, 2023, we entered into an At Market (“ATM”) Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”) pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through the Agent, shares of our Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $50,000,000. As of the date of this Report, however, we are now subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, and in accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the number of shares of our Common Stock available for sale thereunder is now limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates of the Company, as calculated pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3. On January 8, 2024, we filed a Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus filed on January 11, 2023, to decrease the amount of our Common Stock that is available to be sold under the ATM Sales Agreement, such that we registered the offer and sale of our Common Stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $18,200,000, from time to time. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we issued no shares of Common Stock under the ATM Sales Agreement. We have not raised any funds through sales under our ATM Sales Agreement from January 1, 2024, through the date of this Report.

Future Use of Operating Cash and Capital Requirements

Our future use of operating cash and capital requirements will depend on many forward-looking factors, including the following:

●

our ability to attract and retain management with experience in digital media including digital video music streaming, and similar emerging technologies;

●

our ability to negotiate, finalize and maintain economically feasible agreements with the major and independent music labels, publishers and performance rights organizations;

●

our expectations regarding market acceptance of our products in general, and our ability to penetrate digital video music streaming in particular;

●

volatility in digital programmatic advertising spend which can affect our revenues;

●

the scope, validity and enforceability of our and third-party intellectual property rights;

●

the intensity of competition;

●

changes in the political and regulatory environment and in business and fiscal conditions in the United States and overseas;

●

our ability to attract prospective users and to retain existing users;

●

our dependence upon third-party licenses for sound recordings and musical compositions;

●

our lack of control over the providers of our content and their effect on our access to music and other content;

●

our ability to comply with the many complex license agreements to which we are a party;

●

our ability to accurately estimate the amounts payable under our license agreements;

●

the limitations on our operating flexibility due to the minimum guarantees required under certain of our license agreements;

Table of Contents

●

our ability to obtain accurate and comprehensive information about music compositions in order to obtain necessary licenses or perform obligations under our existing license agreements;

●

potential breaches of our security systems;

●

assertions by third parties of infringement or other violations by us of their intellectual property rights;

●

our ability to generate sufficient revenue to be profitable or to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis;

●

our ability to accurately estimate our user metrics;

●

risks associated with manipulation of stream counts and user accounts and unauthorized access to our services;

●

our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our brand;

●

risks relating to the acquisition, investment and disposition of companies or technologies;

●

dilution resulting from additional share issuances;

●

tax-related risks;

●

the concentration of voting power among our founders who have and will continue to have substantial control over our business; and

●

risks associated with accounting estimates, currency fluctuations and foreign exchange controls.

We have evaluated and expect to continue to evaluate a wide array of strategic transactions as part of our plan to acquire or license and develop additional products and services to augment our current business operations. Strategic transaction opportunities that we may pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur additional indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. Accordingly, we expect to continue to opportunistically seek access to additional capital to license or acquire additional products, services or companies to expand our operations, or for general corporate purposes. Strategic transactions may require us to raise additional capital through one or more public or private debt or equity financings or could be structured as a collaboration or partnering arrangement. We have no arrangements, agreements, or understandings in place at the present time to enter into any acquisition, licensing or similar strategic business transaction.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences that are not favorable to us or our stockholder.

As of December 31, 2023, our cash totaled $3,811,159. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $5,285,402 and used $1,526,995 of cash in operations. We have incurred significant operating losses in the past and, as of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $133,570,945. We do not expect to experience positive cash flows from operations in the near future as we continue to invest in the distribution of our Loop Players and the expansion of our Partner Platform business. We also expect to incur significant additional legal and financial expenditures in meeting the regulatory requirements of an NYSE American listed public company.

Table of Contents

There is uncertainty regarding our ability to grow our business without additional financing. Our long-term future growth and success are dependent upon our ability to continue selling our services, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. We may be unable to continue selling our products and services, generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of Common Stock or borrow additional funds. Our inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, sales of our Common Stock under our ATM Sales Agreement as well as funds available under our borrowing facilities will enable us to fund our operations for at least twelve months from the date of this Report. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

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. Significant estimates include assumptions used in the revenue recognition of performance obligations, fair value of stock-based compensation awards and income taxes.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Our revenue recognition disclosure reflects our updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. We applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from delivery of streaming services, delivery of subscription content services in customized formats, and delivery of hardware and ongoing content delivery through software and we have no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on our consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. Therefore, there was no cumulative effect adjustment required.

We recognize revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. For example, we bill subscription services in advance of when the service is performed and revenue is treated as deferred revenue until the service is performed and/or the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenues are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of our products and services to clients in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

●

executed contracts with our clients that we believe are legally enforceable;

●

identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

●

determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

●

allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

●

recognition of revenue only when we satisfy each performance obligation.

Table of Contents

Our revenue can be categorized into two revenue streams: Advertising revenue and Legacy and other revenue.

The following table disaggregates our revenue by major type for each of the periods indicated:


	Three months ended December 31,
		2023		2022
Advertising revenue	$	9,394,764	$	13,959,505
Legacy and other revenue		776,492		866,326
Total	$	10,171,256	$	14,825,831

Advertising revenue is generated by us by selling advertising impressions on the Loop Platform, consisting of both the O&O Platform and the Partner Platform. Our advertising sales team works across both platforms, selling ad impressions for both platforms to the same DSPs and other demand sources. Revenue recognition for both Platforms is the same. Legacy and other revenue includes streaming services, subscription content services, and hardware delivery, as further described below.

We consider ourselves the principal on all advertising transactions in which it sells ad impressions, and thus reports revenues on a gross basis (net of advertising agency fees and commissions retained by advertising demand sources). We have evaluated ASC 606-10-50-5 and determined that there are no significant differences in the type of goods or services, geographical region, market or type of customer, contract type, contract duration, timing of transfer and sales channel between the O&O Platform and Partner Platform, and therefore would not require additional disaggregation of advertising revenue.

Performance Obligations and Significant Judgments

Our performance obligations and recognition patterns for each revenue stream are as follows:

Advertising Revenue

For both the O&O and Platform Partner businesses, advertising inventory provided to advertisers through the use of an advertising demand partner or agency, with whose fees or commission is calculated based on a stated percentage of gross advertising spending, we are considered the agent and our revenues are reported net of agency fees and commissions. We are considered the agent because the demand partner or agency controls all aspects of the transaction (pricing risk, inventory risk, obligation for fulfillment) except for the devices used to show the advertisements, therefore we report this advertising revenue net of agency fees and commissions.

Table of Contents

Legacy and Other Business Revenue

Delivery of streaming services including content encoding and hosting. We recognize revenue over the term of the service based on bandwidth usage. Revenue from streaming services is insignificant.

Delivery of subscription content services in customized formats. We recognize revenue straight-line over the term of the service.

Delivery of hardware for ongoing subscription content delivery through software. We recognize revenue at the point of hardware delivery. Revenue from hardware sales is insignificant.

Transaction prices for performance obligations are explicitly outlined in relevant contractual agreements; therefore, we do not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation awarded to employees is measured at the award date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite vesting period. We measure the fair value of the stock-based compensation issued to non-employees using the stock price observed in the trading market (for stock transactions) or the fair value of the award (for non-stock transactions), which were more reliably determinable measures of fair value than the value of the services being rendered. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

Content Assets

On January 1, 2020, we 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. We capitalize the fixed content fees and our 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. We amortize 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. Internally-developed content costs are capitalized in the same manner as licensed content costs, when the cost of the content is known and the content is ready and available for streaming. We amortize internally-developed content assets into cost of revenue, using the straight-line method over the estimated period of streaming.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred

Table of Contents

tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), consisting of controls and other procedures designed to give reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding such required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated such disclosure controls and procedures as

of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers, threatened against or affecting us, or our Common Stock, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 19, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 19, 2023.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from advertisements. If we are unable to continue to compete for these advertisements, or if any events occur that negatively impact our relationships with advertising networks, our advertising revenues and operating results would be negatively impacted.

We generate advertising revenue from the sale of digital video advertising delivered through advertising impressions across the Loop Platform. We engage with advertising demand partners and advertising agencies to monetize our inventory of advertising impressions by filling such advertising impressions with advertising from companies seeking to advertise in the DOOH market. We need to maintain good relationships with these advertising demand partners to provide us with a sufficient number of advertisements and to ensure they understand the value of our advertising impressions on our Loop Platform. Online advertising is an intensely competitive industry. Many large companies, such as Amazon, Facebook and Google, invest significantly in data analytics to make their websites and platforms more attractive to advertisers. Our advertising revenue is primarily a function of the number of free users and hours of engagement of such free users and our ability to maintain or increase user engagement and satisfaction with our services and enhance returns for our advertising partners. During the twelve-months ended September 30, 2023, we had two customers which each individually comprised greater than 10% of net revenue. These customers, both advertising revenue partners, represented 14%, and 12% of net revenue, respectively. If our relationship with any advertising demand partners terminates for any reason, or if the commercial terms of our relationships are changed or do not continue to be renewed on favorable terms, or if we cannot source high-quality advertisements consistent with our brand or product experience, our business, growth prospects and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The ad demand partners with whom we work have significant control over the flow of advertisements to our Loop Platforms and the number of advertisements that are served to us. If an ad demand participant changes their terms of business with ad publishers or otherwise changes their policies for the way they buy ads or the type of ads they buy, this may have an adverse impact on the amount of demand we receive from such demand participant for the ad inventory on

the Loop Network. While we would look to work with demand participants to integrate any changes into our platform and adhere to any such new terms of business or policies, there can be no assurance that we would be able to do so, which could cause our business, growth prospects and financial condition to be adversely affected. In addition, if an ad demand partner believes that we are receiving too high a percentage of their overall available advertisements, they may seek to reduce the number of advertisements they serve to us. Advertising fraud, also known as invalid traffic (“IVT”), is the practice of inflating impressions, clicks or conversion data for financial gain and is often the result of online activity that is made up of non-human traffic like spiders or bots. If an ad demand partner or similar ad server identifies a platform as having IVT, it will reduce or restrict entirely any advertisements being served to the relevant platform. Ad demand partners sometimes incorrectly identify valid advertising impressions as IVT and shut off or significantly reduce the ads served to the relevant platforms. If our ad impressions are incorrectly identified as IVT from a demand partner, it would reduce the number of ads received from that demand partner and it could take a significant amount of time to demonstrate to the demand partner that such incorrect identification was made, and to reinstitute us as a valid advertising platform with valid advertising impressions. If our advertising impressions are incorrectly identified as IVT and we are unable to demonstrate to the relevant ad demand partner that our ad impressions are valid and the ad partner does not begin again serving ads to our platform in a timely manner, our business, growth prospects and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

In connection with the Excel Revolving Line of Credit, on December 14, 2023, we issued to Excel a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,125,000 shares of our Common Stock. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.80 per share, expires on December 14, 2026, and shall be exercisable at any time prior such date. The issuance of the warrant was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

On December 14, 2023, we also issued to Excel 2,910,771 shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price per share of $0.80 pursuant to the Excel May 2023 Secured Line of Credit Note Conversion Agreement.

The shares of our Common Stock issued in each of these note conversions were not registered under the Securities Act and were issued to the lenders in an exchange and without commission or consideration in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
