+Added: Upon evaluation of the final MediaHouse acquisition agreement, the
+Added: Company noted the following corrections:

+Added: of bridge loan and open lines of credit, as well as a valuation adjustment.
+Added: Further, the change in intangible assets valuation was
+Added: mainly driven by the use of a more updated forecast that was lower than the original forecast utilized along with an increase in
+Added: the Company’s state effective rate used to record deferred tax assets and liabilities resulted in an increase to the deferred tax
+Added: liability of $836,363 which was fully offset by an adjustment to the tax provision to adjust the Company’s valuation allowance.

+Added: (1) employees and (2)
+Added: The pre-acquisition Oceanside options ceased to exist as of the acquisition
+Added: date and all outstanding and unvested options for these two groups were converted using the
+Added: agreed exchange ratio.
+Added: In re-evaluating the transaction as part of the errors noted above,
+Added: management concluded the Company did not record stock compensation expense for the local
+Added: employees and contractors since the acquisition.
+Added: result of the correction was an increase to share-based compensation, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses,
+Added: in the amount of $152,571 for the year ended December 31, 2019, with a corresponding increase in accrued expenses.

+Added: amortization expense on intangible assets (trademarks, customer lists, IP technology and non-compete agreements) has been reduced
+Added: by $107,234 to reflect the changes in the intangible assets valuation.

+Added: 2021, $31,250 per month will be charged to compensation expense and a corresponding accrued
+Added: liability will be recorded until the full amount of the $750,000 is reflected on the balance
+Added: As of August 15, 2020, the Company did not make payment on the 1 st closing
+Added: notes and thereby defaulted on its obligation and the 2 nd closing note accelerated

−Removed: credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis only when losses are probable and have been incurred, generally
−Removed: considering only past events and current conditions in making these determinations.
−Removed: ASU 2016-13 prospectively replaces this approach
−Removed: with a forward-looking methodology that reflects the expected credit losses over the lives of financial assets, starting when
−Removed: such assets are first acquired.
−Removed: Under the revised methodology, credit losses will be measured based on past events, current conditions
−Removed: and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets.
−Removed: 2016-13 also revises the approach to recognizing credit losses for available-for-sale securities by replacing the direct write-down
−Removed: approach with the allowance approach and limiting the allowance to the amount at which the security’s fair value is less
−Removed: than the amortized cost.
−Removed: In addition, ASU 2016-13 provides that the initial allowance for credit losses on purchased credit impaired
−Removed: financial assets will be recorded as an increase to the purchase price, with subsequent changes to the allowance recorded as a

−Removed: The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the
−Removed: goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to
−Removed: perform a qualitative assessment.
−Removed: Instead, under this pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill
−Removed: impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment
−Removed: change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value;
−Removed: however, the loss
−Removed: recognized is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

+Added: As the Company does not have significant tax basis in the impaired goodwill, in accordance with ASC 740, there was historically
+Added: no deferred taxes recorded for the goodwill basis difference, therefore, the goodwill impairment charge results in a permanent difference

+Added: As of December 31, 2020, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards
+Added: of $3.8 million, primarily in Israel that have an unlimited carryforward period.

+Added: federal limitation due to the “change in ownership
+Added: provisions”
+Added: under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and other similar limitations in various state jurisdictions.
+Added: Such limitations
+Added: may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before their utilization.
+Added: The Company has not completed a study to assess
+Added: whether an “ownership change”
+Added: as defined in Section 382 has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes
+Added: since the Company’s inception.
+Added: Future changes in the Company’s stock ownership, which may be outside of the Company’s
+Added: control, may trigger an “ownership change.”
+Added: In addition, future equity offerings or acquisitions that have equity as a component
+Added: of the purchase price could result in an “ownership change.”
+Added: assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all
+Added: of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
+Added: The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
+Added: future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
+Added: Management considers the scheduled reversal
+Added: of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
+Added: Because of the historical
+Added: earnings history of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries, the net deferred tax assets less deferred tax liabilities for 2020 were
+Added: fully offset by the deferred tax liability and a valuation allowance on the remaining balance.
+Added: Based on all available evidence, management
+Added: determined that is it more likely than not that the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
+Added: The change in the valuation
+Added: allowance was an increase of approximately $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the current
+Added: year tax loss and the acquisition of Wild Sky.
+Added: 2020, the Company completed the acquisitions of Wild Sky, see Note 4.
+Added: In connection with the acquisition of Wild Sky, the Company recorded
+Added: additional net deferred tax assets of $3.3 million primarily related to estimated NOLs incurred by Wild Sky Media prior to the acquisition.
+Added: In addition, a valuation allowance of $3.6 million was recorded against Wild Sky Media’s deferred tax assets due to limitations
+Added: on the ability to utilize their NOLs stemming the timing of the reversals of the deferred tax liabilities from the intangibles.
+Added: impact of the above adjustments, which totaled a net DTL of $0.2 million was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill in acquisition accounting.
+Added: in connection with the acquisition, as a result of the net deferred tax liability from Wild Sky, the Company was able to release a portion
+Added: of its historical valuation allowance in the amount by the same amount as the Wild Sky Media net deferred tax liability.
+Added: of the valuation allowance was recorded as a benefit in the tax provision for the year ending December 31, 2020.
+Added: 2019, the Company completed the acquisitions of Oceanside and MediaHouse, see Note 4.
+Added: In each acquisition, the Company recognized acquired
+Added: intangible assets and, in accordance with ASC 740, resulted in the recognition of deferred tax liabilities associated with these intangible
+Added: As a result of the acquisition of MediaHouse, the Company reduced its historical federal and state valuation allowance by approximately
+Added: $3.2 million, which was recorded as a tax benefit in the Company’s income statement.
+Added: calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations
+Added: for both federal taxes and the many states in which it operates or does business in.
+Added: A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may
+Added: be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related
+Added: appeals or litigation, on the basis of the technical merits.
+Added: Company records tax positions as liabilities and adjusts these liabilities when its judgement changes as a result of the evaluation of
+Added: new information not previously available.
+Added: Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result
+Added: in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the recognized tax benefit liabilities.
+Added: differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.
+Added: of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions in its consolidated financial

+Added: 2019 to present in the Company’s foreign operations.
+Added: To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in
+Added: which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local tax authorities
+Added: to the extent utilized in a future period.

+Added: liability and accumulated deficit were also corrected in the respective quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September
+Added: Stock issued in Oceanside acquisition –
+Added: In connection with the Oceanside acquisition in August 2019, the Company issued
+Added: an incorrect number of shares of Company common stock as consideration as it used a preliminary purchase price.
+Added: Upon management’s
+Added: re-evaluation of the purchase price, the number of shares issued in connection with the Oceanside acquisition increased by 382,428
+Added: resulting in a correction and increase in goodwill, common stock, and additional paid-in capital in the amounts of $611,885, $3,824,
+Added: and $608,058, respectively, at September 30, 2019.
+Added: Stock issued in MediaHouse acquisition –

+Added: noted the following corrections:
+Added: was a miscalculation of the fair value of the warrants to be issued as part of consideration in the amount of $3,829,889 due to the
+Added: conversion of bridge loan and open lines of credit, as well as a valuation adjustment.
+Added: Further, the change in intangible assets valuation
+Added: was mainly driven by the use of a more updated forecast that was lower than the original forecast utilized along with an increase
+Added: in the Company’s state effective rate used to record deferred tax assets and liabilities resulted in an increase to the deferred
+Added: tax liability of $836,363 which was fully offset by an adjustment to the tax provision to adjust the Company’s valuation allowance.
+Added: The decrease of the valuation allowance was recorded as a benefit in the tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2019.
+Added: Additionally,
+Added: in connection with the MediaHouse acquisition in November 2019, the Company issued shares of Company common stock to certain of MediaHouse’s
+Added: investors as part of the consideration paid.
+Added: During September 2020, the Company determined that one investor had been issued an incorrect
+Added: number of shares as the result of a transposition mistake;
+Added: the investor should have been issued 840,000 shares but was incorrectly
+Added: issued 480,000 shares.
+Added: This error resulted in a shortfall of shares of 360,000 valued at $590,400.
+Added: In addition, another investor
+Added: was not issued his shares in a timely manner amounting to 19,029 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $31,208.
+Added: management’s re-evaluation of the MediaHouse acquisition and the number of shares issued as consideration, the number of shares
+Added: increased by 379,029 resulting in a correction and increase in Goodwill of $621,608, increase to Common stock of $3,790 and an
+Added: increase to Additional paid in capital of $617,818 at December 31, 2019.
+Added: reduction in the warrant valuation and equity corrections resulted in a reduction in consideration of ($3,208,282).
+Added: The components
+Added: in the change in consideration were:
+Added: (1) reduction
+Added: in warrant valuation of $3,829,889 and an increase in goodwill for two (2) investor equity corrections adding $621,608.
+Added: and intangible assets impact of additional share issuance and correction, respectably, of MediaHouse and Oceanside acquisitions –
+Added: In connection with the re-evaluation of the Oceanside and MediaHouse acquisitions described in letters “b”
+Added: and “c”
+Added: above, the Company also re-evaluated the impairment charge it had recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020
+Added: (see Note 10).
+Added: As a result of this re-evaluation, the impairment charge was increased by $4,769,472 for the three and nine months
+Added: ended September 30, 2020.
+Added: The net increase was comprised of an increase in impairment charge of $4,935,356 related to intangible
+Added: assets and a decrease in impairment charge of $165,884 related to Goodwill.
+Added: compensation from Oceanside acquisition –
+Added: As part of the Oceanside acquisition, the Company assumed a local employee and
+Added: contractor option plan and converted it to the Company’s existing equity compensation plan utilizing the existing vesting dates
+Added: at the time of the acquisition.
+Added: The option holders were two (2) classes of individuals:
+Added: (1) employees and (2) contractors.
+Added: The pre-acquisition
+Added: Oceanside options ceased to exist as of the acquisition date and all outstanding and unvested options for these two groups were converted
+Added: using the agreed exchange ratio.
+Added: In re-evaluating the transaction as part of the errors noted above, management concluded the Company
+Added: did not record stock compensation expense for the local employees and contractors since the acquisition.
+Added: result of the correction of the adjustment was an increase to share-based compensation and accrued expenses as follows:
+Added: of September 30, 2019, $98,261 as of March 31, 2020, $189,795 as of June 30, 2020, and $277,950 as of September
+Added: 30, 2020, respectively.
+Added: accrual for untimely registration statement filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) –
+Added: fiscal years 2018 and 2019, the Company sold units of its securities to various investors in several private placements.
+Added: of each private placement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the shares
+Added: by the respective holder in order to permit the public resale;
+Added: such filing deadlines ranged from 120 to 270 days following the closing
+Added: date of the respective placement and the Company was liable to pay a penalty fee for failure to file the resale registration statement
+Added: within the allotted timeframe.
+Added: The penalty fee is payable in cash and is equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the
+Added: respective investor for each 30 days until the earlier of the date the deficiency was cured or the expiration of 6 months from filing
+Added: Company did not timely file the resale registration statements pertaining to three private placements made in fiscal years 2018 and
+Added: 2019 and as a result was liable for penalties beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019 on the first two placements and the third quarter
+Added: of 2020 on the third placement.
+Added: These penalty fees were not properly recorded as an expense with an offset to accrued liability in
+Added: their respective accounting period.
+Added: The correction resulted in an increase in accrued liability
+Added: of $109,200 as of December 31, 2019 with a corresponding offset to selling, general and administrative expenses for the year
+Added: ended December 31, 2019 and which remains as a liability as of March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 for the
+Added: first two placements, and an increase of selling, general and administrative expenses and corresponding accrued liability in the additional
+Added: amount of $76,856 as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, relating to the third placement.
+Added: September 30, 2020, the accumulated liability totaled $186,056.
+Added: stock dividends –
+Added: Between August 2, 2019, and December 23, 2019, a related party purchased an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares
+Added: of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share.
+Added: Series A-1 Preferred Stock pays dividends at the rate of 10%
+Added: dividends are cumulative and payable in cash monthly in arrears within fifteen (15) days after the end of the month.
+Added: It was subsequently determined that the 2020 dividends on these shares were calculated incorrectly due to a mathematical
+Added: error in the computation and were incorrectly reported.
+Added: The correction resulted
+Added: in a reduction of accrued dividends payable and an increase in additional paid-in capital amounting to $29,119 as of March 31,
+Added: 2020, $88,157 as of June 30, 2020, and $177,330 as of September 30, 2020.
+Added: stock issued for investor relations agreement –
+Added: The Company entered into an investor relations consulting agreement with
+Added: MZ Group (“MZ”) in January 2020 for a period of 12 months.
+Added: As part of compensation for these services, the Company agreed
+Added: to issue 60,000 shares of Company common stock to MZ at $1.50 per share in May 2020 totaling $90,000 and recorded it during March
+Added: 2020 and failed to properly record a prepaid expense and a corresponding accrued expense for share issuance liability in the amount
+Added: of $114,000, using a $1.90 per share price from January 2020 when the contract was signed.
+Added: Consequently, the Company failed to i)
+Added: record the share issuance that ultimately occurred in May 2020 and ii) amortize the prepaid expense monthly over the 12-month term
+Added: of the contract.
+Added: The correction of this
+Added: error as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, resulted in the following adjustments:
+Added: accrued expenses increased by
+Added: $114,000, additional paid-in capital decreased by $89,400, common stock decreased by $600, prepaid expenses and other current
+Added: assets increased by $85,500, and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $61,500.
+Added: The correction of this error as
+Added: of and for the three months ended June 30, 2020, resulted in the following adjustments:
+Added: accrued expenses decreased by $114,000, additional
+Added: paid-in capital increased by $113,400, common stock increased by $600, prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $28,500,
+Added: selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $28,500.
+Added: The correction of this error as of and for the three months
+Added: ended September 30, 2020, resulted in the following adjustments:
+Added: prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $28,500, selling,
+Added: general and administrative expenses increased by $28,500.
+Added: For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the adjustment was $57,000 and for
+Added: the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the adjustment was $85,500.
+Added: Advisory Fee –
+Added: During November 2019, the Company signed a placement agent agreement with Spartan Capital to raise funds
+Added: for funding of the Company.
+Added: Earlier, during July 2019, the Company signed an M&A advisory agreement that had a $250,000 fee that
+Added: contemplated the provision of consulting services related to potential M&A transactions, including, but not limited to valuations,
+Added: transaction terms and structures, evaluation and due diligence of candidate business, and other.
+Added: The $250,000 fee would be deducted
+Added: from the private placement closings once a minimum of $1.5 million of net funds were received by the Company.
+Added: This agreement became
+Added: effective as of the closing date of the sale of units in the private placement resulting in net proceeds to the Company of at least
+Added: $1.5 million and had a duration of 60 months.
+Added: By the 3rd closing of the private placement during March 2020, the Company realized
+Added: the minimum net proceeds requirement of $1.5 million and the $250,000 fee was deducted from the net proceeds to the Company.
+Added: In accounting
+Added: for this transaction, the Company did not correctly capitalize the $250,000 fee as a prepaid asset in March 2020, when it became
+Added: probable that the amount would be owed, subject to amortization over the remaining contractual term of 43 months.
+Added: correction of this error resulted in an increase to prepaid expenses of $250,000 as of March
+Added: 31, 2020, and a corresponding decrease in other expense for the three months ended March
+Added: In addition, the correction of this error resulted in an increase in other expenses
+Added: and corresponding decrease in prepaid expenses for the amortization of $5,814, $17,442, and
+Added: $17,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020,
+Added: respectively.
+Added: The cumulative effect of this correction resulted in an increase in other expenses
+Added: and a corresponding decrease in prepaid expenses of $5,814, $23,256 and $40,698 as of March
+Added: 31, 2020, as of June 30, 2020, and as of September 30, 2020, respectively.
+Added: Adjustments –
+Added: In addition, the Company has corrected other adjustments.
+Added: While some of these other adjustments may be quantitatively
+Added: immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, because the Company is correcting for the material errors above, management has decided
+Added: to correct these other adjustments as well (“Other Adjustments”):
+Added: Due to utilization of
+Added: more updated forecasts, quarterly amortization expense on intangible assets (trademarks, customer lists, IP technology and non-compete
+Added: agreements) decreased by $24,423 in the three months ended March 31, 2020, decreased $6,348 in the three months ended June
+Added: 30, 2020, and increased $29,802 in the three months ended September 30, 2020, to reflect the changes in the intangible assets
+Added: For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the amortization expense decreased $30,771 and for the nine months ended September
+Added: 30, 2020, the amortization expense decreased $969.
+Added: general and administrative expenses and accrued liabilities decreased by $87,670 as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020,

+Added: related items:
+Added: entry corrections
+Added: receivable, net adjustment and/or reclasses
+Added: payable adjustments and/or reclasses
+Added: expenses adjustments and/or reclasses
+Added: effect –
+Added: The Company assessed the tax impact of the above restatement items, including any impact to deferred tax asset

+Added: The Company determined that the impact of the changes for the finder’s fees (a), goodwill (d), share-based
+Added: compensation (e), penalty accrual (f), preferred dividends (g) and common stock issued for investor relations agreement would be
+Added: permanent book/tax differences, therefore had no impact on the income tax provision or any tax assets and liabilities, current or
+Added: Tax effect of the other adjustments is discussed below.
+Added: of March 31, 2020:
+Added: deferred tax liability balance decreased by $24,711 and income tax benefit increased by the same amount for the three months ended March
+Added: 31, 2020, as a result of correcting an error in the calculation of Oceanside’s net deferred tax liability, which was originally
+Added: recorded in Q3 2020 as an out of period adjustment, along with changes to the deferred tax liability stemming from the changes in the
+Added: amortization of the Oceanside intangibles.
+Added: of June 30, 2020:
+Added: increased by $140,321, deferred tax liability decreased by $35,846 and income tax benefit increased by $176,167 for the three months
+Added: ended June 30, 2020, as a result of the following:
+Added: $140,321 goodwill adjustment related to a true-up to the Wild Sky acquisition recorded originally in Q3 2020 from the estimate included
+Added: in the original Q2 2020 financials.
+Added: The offset of the change in the deferred tax liability recorded through goodwill for Wild Sky was
+Added: a change in the valuation allowance at the Company.
+Added: The $140,321 change in valuation allowance at the Company level is recorded through
+Added: the profit and loss and is part of the $176,167 change.
+Added: additional $11,136 (out of the $78,048) change in the tax provision relates to reversing a deferred tax liability related to indefinite
+Added: lived asset from Wild Sky that was recorded in error originally in Q2 2020 as it was originally determined that Wild Sky would have tax
+Added: amortizable goodwill but with the Wild Sky acquisition accounting adjustments noted above it was determined the deferred tax liability
+Added: originally recorded in Q2 2020 should be reversed.
+Added: remaining $24,710 (out of the $176,167) relates to the same issue as described above for the Q1 2020 adjustment.
+Added: The offset was a decrease
+Added: to the deferred tax liability balance.
+Added: of September 30, 2020:
+Added: decreased by $26,347, deferred tax liability increased by $38,848 and income tax benefit decreased by $65,194 for the three months ended
+Added: September 30, 2020, as a result of the following:
+Added: $26,347 adjustment to goodwill was to reverse the true-up that was originally recorded in Q3 2020 that was pushed back to Q2 2020.
+Added: corresponding offset was to decrease the income tax benefit.
+Added: of the tax provision adjustment relates to reversing the two $40,565 true-ups that were originally booked in Q3 2020 but were pushed
+Added: back to Q1 and Q2 2020, along with changes to the deferred tax liability stemming from the changes in the amortization of the Oceanside
+Added: is a $58,843 increase to the tax benefit and offsetting decrease to the deferred tax liability to record the impact of the Oceanside
+Added: The effect of this adjustment was to reduce Oceanside’s remaining deferred tax liability to $0.
+Added: Subsequent to the impairment,
+Added: the Oceanside operations were in a net deferred tax asset position which was offset with a valuation allowance.
+Added: notes consideration change from Oceanside acquisition –
+Added: As part of the acquisition, the treatment of the Closing notes
+Added: totaling $750,000 was incorrectly recorded and per ASC 805-30-55 was determined to be compensation expense to be recognized
+Added: ratably over the 24-month term of the Notes.
+Added: As such, starting in September 2019 and concluding in August 2021, $31,250 per month
+Added: will be charged to compensation expense and a corresponding accrued liability will be recorded until the full amount of the $750,000
+Added: is reflected on the balance sheet.
+Added: As of August 15, 2020, the Company did not make payment on the 1 st closing notes
+Added: and thereby defaulted on its obligation and the 2 nd closing note accelerated to become payable as of August 15, 2020.
+Added: Upon default, the closing notes accrue interest at a 1.5% per month rate, or 18% annual rate.
+Added: As a result, there was an incremental
+Added: total charge of $300,672 recorded during 2020 which was $250,000 of additional compensation expense and $50,672 of interest expense-related
+Added: revenue –
+Added: As part of the audit of 2019, it was determined that $156,529 of recorded revenue needed to be reclassified into
+Added: deferred revenue as part of the review of FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
+Added: For the restated quarters in 2020,
+Added: this deferred revenue carries forward from the year end December 31, 2019 and has no statement of operations impact in the quarters
+Added: ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 nor September 30, 2020.
+Added: Reversal of gain on legal settlement –
+Added: The Company determined that during Q3 2020, it recorded incorrectly a non-cash gain on a legal settlement that involved the repurchase
+Added: of 550,117 Treasury shares of $935,408.
+Added: The treatment was incorrect and did not follow the appropriate accounting guidance, ASC 505-30-25-2
+Added: and the Company corrected for this error.
+Added: The net effect on Shareholder’s equity is neutral as the accumulated deficit increase
+Added: was offset entirely by the decreased Treasury share value
+Added: of Previously Issued Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
+Added: following tables present the Restatement Items, as well as other adjustments, on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated
