+Added: of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
+Added: reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
+Added: and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
+Added: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
+Added: We have identified all significant accounting policies in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of
+Added: this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: recognize, separately from goodwill, identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value on the
+Added: date of acquisition.
+Added: We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and identifiable
+Added: intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as the useful lives of those acquired intangible
+Added: We estimate the useful lives of the intangible assets based on the expected period over which we anticipate generating
+Added: economic benefit from the asset.
+Added: The determination of the fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets requires us to
+Added: make significant estimates and assumptions regarding projected revenue and growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates.
+Added: Unanticipated
+Added: events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
+Added: We also review our intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
+Added: asset is not recoverable.
+Added: accounting for the Merger described in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report
+Added: on Form 10-K, judgment was required in determining the accounting acquirer.
+Added: Our evaluation of the accounting acquirer considered
+Added: various indicators including voting rights, minority voting interest, composition of board of directors, composition of management
+Added: and relative size of the entities.
+Added: We ultimately concluded that Facebank Pre-Merger was the accounting acquirer in the Merger
+Added: because (i) FaceBank Pre-Merger’s stockholders owned approximately 57% of the voting common shares of the combined company
+Added: immediately following the closing of the Merger (54% assuming the exercise of all vested stock options as of the closing of the
+Added: transaction) and (ii) directors appointed by FaceBank Pre-Merger would hold a majority of board seats in the combined company.
+Added: test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each calendar year or earlier when circumstances
+Added: We measure recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level.
+Added: The process of determining the fair value of a reporting
+Added: unit is highly subjective and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
+Added: In performing our annual assessment,
+Added: we can opt to perform a qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment or we can directly perform
+Added: a quantitative assessment.
+Added: Based on our qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of our reporting unit is,
+Added: more likely than not, less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative assessment is performed.
+Added: Any excess of the reporting
+Added: unit’s carrying amount over its fair value will be recorded as an impairment loss.
+Added: the third quarter of 2020, we identified a triggering event related to our Facebank reporting unit that required us to perform
+Added: a quantitative assessment.
+Added: We concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value and we recognized
+Added: an impairment charge of $148.1 million in third quarter of 2020.
+Added: The impairment charge was primarily related to the departure
+Added: of the former executive of the Facebank business and our shift in focus to the fuboTV business.
+Added: performed our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2020 and concluded that no additional impairment charges were necessary.
+Added: identify intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determine their fair value.
+Added: The determination involves certain
+Added: judgments and estimates.
+Added: We amortize purchased-intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the
+Added: We review purchased-intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter
+Added: than we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable.
+Added: If such facts and circumstances
+Added: indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of purchased-intangible assets
+Added: by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the asset group against their respective carrying amounts.
+Added: Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of these asset groups.
+Added: If the useful life
+Added: of the asset is shorter than originally estimated, we accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying
+Added: value over the new shorter useful life
+Added: the third and fourth quarters of 2020, we identified triggering events related to our Facebank intangible assets that
+Added: required us to perform a quantitative assessment.
+Added: We concluded that the fair value of the intangible assets was less than its
