9A. Controls and Procedures.
A.
Limitations on effectiveness of controls
and procedures
In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how
well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design
of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply
judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
B.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the
period covered by this Annual Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded
that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the reasonable assurance level.
C.
Report of Management on Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting.
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. As of December 31,
2021, management completed an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework. Based on that assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021. KPMG, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on our internal control
over financial reporting, which is included below.

fuboTV Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
We
have audited fuboTV Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial
statements), and our report dated February 28, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The
Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit
of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing
the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations
of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A
company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

E.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described below, there have
been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
F. Remediation of Material Weaknesses
In
our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, management identified material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting considerations for non-routine transactions and for business
combinations and the allocation of consideration to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. During 2021, management took the necessary
steps to remediate these material weaknesses.
In
2021, the Company consummated the acquisitions of a sports betting and interactive gaming company, a television streaming company based
in France and an AI-powered computer vision platform with patent-pending video recognition technologies based in Bangalore, India.
Management took steps to address the internal control deficiencies that contributed to the aforementioned material weakness relating
to non-routine transactions, including:
●
Extensive
financial and legal due diligence performed by various members of the Company and outside legal counsel. Board of Directors reviewed
the strategic business case and formally approved the transaction;
●
Key
model assumptions were supported by detailed documentation of the reasonableness of the assumptions used;
●
Evaluated
the competency of the valuation specialist engaged to determine the fair value of specific accounts on the opening balance sheet;
●
Existence
and completeness of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date were determined through specific procedures;
●
Comprehensive
technical accounting memo was prepared that documents the applicable accounting for business combinations; and
●
The
income tax impact of the acquisition was assessed and documented.
During
2021, we also implemented the following for the aforementioned material weakness relating to internal controls over financial reporting,
including:
●
Hired
additional accounting personnel with appropriate GAAP technical accounting expertise;
●
Designed
additional controls around identification, documentation, and application of technical accounting guidance with particular emphasis
on complex and non-routine transactions. These controls include the implementation of additional supervision and review activities
by qualified personnel, and the adoption of additional policies and procedures related to accounting and financial reporting;
●
Hired
an experienced tax specialist and implemented specific procedures in the review of tax accounting, designed to enhance our income
tax controls; and
●
Continued
to work with the third-party provider to strengthen
our internal controls for compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Based
on the foregoing remediation measures taken during 2021, management has determined that the material weaknesses in internal control over
financial reporting have been remediated as of December 31, 2021.

Report

To the Stockholders
and Board of Directors
fuboTV Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial
Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of fuboTV Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021
and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021
and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
We also have
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal
Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 28, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication
of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are
not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or
disclosures to which it relates.
Accounting
for certain stock-based compensation awards
As
discussed in Notes 3 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company awarded stock-based
compensation including stock options and restricted stock units that have certain performance-based vesting conditions and stock options
with market-based vesting conditions. The vesting of certain performance-based options is based upon the achievement of certain annual
performance metrics and is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. The fair value of the market-based awards as well as the
expected vesting date were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company reported stock-based compensation expense of $63.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
We
identified the accounting for certain performance-based and market-based stock compensation awards as a critical audit matter. The audit
effort associated with evaluating the Company’s accounting for the determination of the grant date for certain performance-based
awards and the evaluation of the model used to determine the fair value and the derived service period for the market-based awards required
significant auditor judgement and specialized skills and knowledge.
The
following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating
effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the accounting for performance-based and market-based stock compensation awards.
This included controls related to the determination of the grant date of awards and the valuation and determination of the derived service
period for market-based awards. We evaluated the accounting for these stock-based compensation awards by evaluating management’s
accounting conclusions with respect to the grant date of the performance-based awards against relevant accounting literature. We involved
valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating (1) the appropriateness of the model utilized
in management’s estimate of the fair value and (2) the calculation of the fair value and the derived service period for the market-based
awards by comparing management’s estimate to a separate calculation of the fair value and derived service period.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
FaceBank
Group, Inc. (formerly known as Pulse Evolution Group, Inc.) and Subsidiaries
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of FaceBank Group, Inc. (formerly known as Pulse Evolution Group, Inc.) and
Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019, the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’
equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note
1 - Organization and Nature of Business
Incorporation
fuboTV
Inc. (“fuboTV” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in February 2009 under
the name York Entertainment, Inc. The Company changed its name to FaceBank Group, Inc. on September 30, 2019. On August 10, 2020, the
Company changed its name to fuboTV Inc. and as of May 1, 2020, the Company’s trading symbol was changed from “FBNK”
to “FUBO.” The Company’s common stock was approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
in connection with a public offering in October 2020 and commenced trading on the NYSE on October 8, 2020.
Unless
the context otherwise requires, “fuboTV,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”
refers to fuboTV and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Merger
with fuboTV Inc.
On
April 1, 2020, fuboTV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) merged with
and into fuboTV Pre-Merger, whereby fuboTV Pre-Merger continued as the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of March 19, 2020, by and among us, Merger Sub and fuboTV
Pre-Merger (the “Merger Agreement” and such transaction, the “Merger”).
Nature
of Business
The
Company is focused on developing its technology-driven IP in sports, movies, and live performances. The Company is principally focused
on offering consumers a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment through fuboTV. The Company’s revenues
are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services and the sale of advertisements in the United States.
The
Company’s subscription-based streaming services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts through which the Company
provides basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase incremental features that include additional content or enhanced
functionality (“attachments”) best suited for them. Besides the website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected
devices. The fuboTV platform provides a broad suite of unique features and personalization tools such as multi-channel viewing capabilities,
favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine, as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company launched a business-to-consumer online sports wagering business (“Online Sportsbook”)
in the states of Iowa and Arizona. The Company is planning to launch in additional states during 2022 and 2023. During the year ended
December 31, 2021 the Company paid $ 44.2
million under market access agreements with third
parties in various states (See Note 8) and has not generated any revenue to date.
Note
2 - Liquidity, Going Concern and Management Plans
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 374.3
million, working capital of $ 91.2
million and an accumulated deficit of $ 1,009.3
million as of December 31, 2021. The Company
incurred a net loss of $ 383.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Since inception,
the Company’s operations have been financed primarily through the sale of equity and debt securities. The Company has incurred
losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and expects to continue to incur substantial
losses.
On
February 2, 2021, the Company issued $ 402.5 million of convertible notes (“2026 Convertible Notes.”) The 2026 Convertible
Notes bear interest from February 2, 2021, at a rate of 3.25 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15
of each year, beginning on August 15, 2021. The 2026 Convertible Notes will mature on February 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed,
or repurchased . The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $ 389.4 million, after deducting a discount and offering expenses
of approximately $ 13.1 million.
F- 9
As
discussed further in Note 15, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $ 140.4
million (after deducting $ 3.5
million in commissions and expenses) from sales
of 5,338,607
shares of its common stock, at a weighted average
gross sales price of $ 26.96
per share pursuant to an At-The-Market Sales
Agreement with its sales agents, Evercore Group L.L.C., Needham & Company, LLC and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., effective August 13,
2021 (the “Sales Agreement”).
As
discussed further in Note 4, in December 2021, the Company acquired Molotov SAS (“Molotov”) for an estimated purchase price
of € 101.7
million (approximately $ 115.0
million) in a combination of € 14.4
million of cash ($ 16.3
million) and 5.7
million shares of the Company’s common
stock.
The
Company’s current cash and cash equivalents provide us with the necessary liquidity to continue as a going concern for at least
one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
In
addition to the foregoing, the Company cannot predict the long-term impact on its development timelines, revenue levels and its liquidity
due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19. Based upon the Company’s current assessment, it does not expect the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic to materially impact the Company’s operations. However, the Company is continuing to assess the impact the spread of COVID-19
may have on its operations.
Note
3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly owned subsidiaries where
the Company has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and
assumptions include allocating the fair value of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions,
useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, accruals for contingent
liabilities, valuation of warrants, convertible notes, and equity instruments issued in share-based payment arrangements and accounting
for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Segment
and Reporting Unit Information
Operating
segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the
Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is determined to be the CODM. The CODM reviews financial information and makes resource allocation
decisions at the consolidated group level. The Company has two operating segments as of December 31, 2021, streaming and online wagering.
F- 10
Cash
and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash
equivalents, including balances held in the Company’s money market account. Restricted cash primarily represents cash on deposit
with financial institutions in support of a letter of credit outstanding in favor of the Company’s landlord for office space. The
restricted cash balance has been excluded from the cash balance and is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.
The
following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the consolidated balance sheets that sum
to the total of the same on the consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):
Schedule of Reconciliation of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
December 31, 2021
December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents
$ 374,294
$ 134,942
Restricted cash
5,112
1,279
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
$ 379,406
$ 136,221
Cash
Reserved for Users
The
Company maintains separate bank accounts to segregate users’ funds from operational funds. As of December 31, 2021, the cash reserved
for users totaled approximately $ 0.6 million.
Certain
Risks and Concentrations
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of demand deposits and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions that at times exceed applicable insurance limits.
The
majority of the Company’s software and computer systems utilize data processing, storage capabilities and other services provided
by Amazon Web Services, which cannot be easily switched to another cloud service provider. As such, any disruption
of the Company’s interference with AWS would adversely impact the Company’s operations and business.
Treasury
Stock
The
Company accounts for the treasury stock using the cost method, which treats it as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. In December
2020, the Company repurchased 800,000 shares of its common stock at par value. In February 2021, the Company issued 623,068 shares of
treasury stock in connection with the acquisition of Vigtory, Inc. and in December 2021, the Company issued the remaining 176,932 shares
of treasury stock in connection with the acquisition of Edisn Inc. See Note 4 for further discussion regarding the acquisitions.
Fair
Value Estimates
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other assets, accounts payable and accrued payroll,
approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of notes payable and long-term
borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity and the fact that the effective interest rates on these obligations
are comparable to market interest rates for instruments of similar credit risk.
F- 11
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability
in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 —
quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 —
observable inputs other than
Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities
in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable;
and
Level 3 —
assets and liabilities whose
significant value `drivers are unobservable.
Receivables
Reserved for Users
Receivables
for user deposits not yet received are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from a payment processor, which includes an
allowance for doubtful accounts if appropriate. These receivables arise, primarily, due to process timing between when a user deposits
and when the Company receives that deposit from the payment processor. Receivables also arise due to the securitization policies of certain
payment processors. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company’s assessment of the probability of the
non-payment of the receivable. This provision is netted against the receivable balance with the loss being recognized within general
and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. On assessment that the receivable will not be collected, the
associated amount is written off with no impact to the consolidated statements of operations. The provision at December 31, 2021 did
not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2021, receivables reserved for
users totaled $ 16
thousand and is included in prepaid and
other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Accounts
Receivable, net
The
Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any potentially uncollectable accounts. The Company’s
accounts receivable balance consists of amounts due from the sale of advertisements and subscription revenue. In evaluating our ability
to collect outstanding receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, collection history, and current
economic trends. Bad debts are written off after all collection efforts have ceased. Based on the Company’s current and historical
collection experience, management concluded that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
No
individual customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. As of December
31, 2021 and 2020, one and three customers, respectively accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable, respectively.
Property
and Equipment, Net
Property
and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of
the assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period realized. Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred.
License
Fees, Net
The
Company incurs costs in connection with operating in certain regulated jurisdictions, including applying for licenses, compliance costs
and the purchase of business licenses from strategic partners. The cost of purchasing business licenses, minimum royalty payments for
strategic partners and subsequent renewals of business licenses are capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over the estimated
useful life of the asset using the straight-line method to cost of goods sold. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company
capitalized license and market access fees totaling $ 15.0
million (See Note 8).
F- 12
Deferred
Royalty
The
Company records liabilities for minimum royalty payments related to licensing and market access agreements. These liabilities are recorded
on the balance sheet at the present value of future payments discounted using a rate that reflects the duration of the agreement. The
deferred royalty liability is accreted through interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company
records deferred royalty liabilities as accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term liabilities based on
the timing of future payments. As of December 31, 2021, deferred royalties totaled $ 10.5
million (See Note 16).
Impairment
Testing of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may
not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated
with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if
any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected
cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.
Acquisitions
and Business Combinations
The
Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration issued in business combination transactions to the tangible assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and separately identified intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair
value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations
require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates
in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from: (a) acquired technology, (b) trademarks
and trade names, and (c) customer relationships, useful lives, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based
upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may
differ from estimates. The allocation of the purchase consideration may remain preliminary as the Company gathers additional facts about
the circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date during the measurement period. The measurement period shall not exceed one
year from the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Goodwill
The
Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis on October 1 for each fiscal year or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company assesses qualitative
factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount
under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill
Impairment, issued by the FASB. If it is determined that the fair value is less than its carrying amount, the excess of the goodwill
carrying amount over the implied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.
The Company tested goodwill for impairment
as of October 1, 2021. Based on a qualitative analysis, we determined that it was more likely than not that goodwill was not impaired.
There were no goodwill impairment
charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021. During
the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $ 148.1
million for the Facebank reporting unit which
represented all of the goodwill of that reporting unit. Changes in economic and operating conditions and the impact of COVID-19 could
result in goodwill impairment in future periods.
F- 13
Intangible
Assets
The
Company’s intangible assets represent definite lived intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
their estimated useful lives as follows:
Schedule
of Intangible Assets Estimated Useful Life
Customer relationships
2
years
Tradenames
2 - 9
years
Software and technology
3 - 9
years
Gaming licenses and market access fees
2 - 5 years
We capitalize qualifying development costs associated with software that
is developed or obtained for internal use, provided that management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding
of the project, it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalized
costs, including costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to result in additional significant functionality are capitalized and
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, which approximates three years. Costs related to preliminary project
activities and post-implementation operation activities, including training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred.
Non-Controlling
Interest
Non-controlling
interest as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 represents PEC stockholders who retained an aggregate 23.4 %
and 26 .0%,
respectively, interest in that entity following
the Company acquisition of Evolution AI Corporation. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holders’
proportionate share of the earnings or losses even if loss allocations result in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.
Sequencing
On
July 30, 2019, the Company adopted a sequencing policy under ASC 815-40-35 whereby in the event that reclassification of contracts from
equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient
authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the
basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares.
Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of securities to the Company’s employees or directors are not subject to the sequencing policy. As
of September 25, 2020, the Company repaid all of its then outstanding convertible notes with variable settlement features. As a result
of these repayments, the Company is no longer subject to this sequencing policy.
Warrant
Liabilities
The
Company accounts for common stock warrants with cash settlement features as liability instruments at fair value. This liability is subject
to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of warrants classified as liabilities has
been estimated using the Black-Scholes model.
Liabilities
to Users
The
Company records liabilities for user account balances. User account balances consist of user deposits, most promotional awards and user
winnings less user withdrawals, tax withholdings and user losses. Cash reserved for users and receivables reserved for users equal or
exceed the Company’s liabilities to users at all times. As of December 31, 2021, liabilities reserved for users totaled $13 thousand.
Leases
Effective
January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition
of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as both a right-of-use
asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the
right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the
right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term.
In
calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes
short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less, if any, from the new guidance as an accounting policy election, and recognizes
rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
F- 14
Revenue
From Contracts With Customers
The
Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “revenue
standard”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service.
The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
●
Step
1: Identify the contract with the customer
●
Step
2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step
3: Determine the transaction price
●
Step
4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step
5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
In
2021, the Company generated revenue from the following sources:
1.
Subscriptions
– The Company sells various subscription plans through its website and third-party app stores. These subscription plans provide
different levels of streamed content and functionality depending on the plan selected. Subscription fees are fixed and paid in advance
by credit card on primarily on a monthly basis. A subscription customer executes a contract by agreeing to the Company’s terms
of service. The Company considers the subscription contract legally enforceable once the customer has accepted terms of service and
the Company has received credit card authorization from the customer’s credit card company. The terms of service allow customers
to terminate the subscription at any time, however, in the event of termination, no prepaid subscription fees are refundable. The
Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to the customers,
which is ratably over the subscription period. Upon the customer agreeing to the Company’s terms and conditions and authorization
of the credit card, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the streamed content ratably throughout the
term of the contract. Subscription services sold through third-party app stores are recorded gross in revenue with fees to the third-party
app stores recorded in subscriber related expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Management
concluded that the customers are the end user of the subscription services sold by these third-party app stores.
2.
Advertising
– The Company executes agreements with
advertisers that want to display ads (“impressions”) within the streamed content. The Company enters into individual
insertion orders (“IOs”) with advertisers, which specify the term of each ad campaign, the number of impressions to be
delivered and the applicable rate to be charged. The Company invoices advertisers monthly for impressions actually delivered during
the period. Each executed IO provides the terms and conditions agreed to in respect of each party’s obligations. The Company
recognizes revenue at a point in time when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services
to the advertiser, which generally is when the advertisement has been displayed.
3.
Online
wagering -
The Company offers an online sports betting platform whereby sports enthusiasts can place
wagers on thousands of live professional and collegiate sporting events using the Company’s
mobile app or on the Fubo Sportsbook website. The online gaming customer simultaneously
receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as it provides the
gaming/wagering service and the transaction price is constrained until the net win or loss
with the customer is known. Sportsbook or sports betting involves a user wagering money on
an outcome or series of outcomes occurring. When a user’s wager wins, the Company pays
the user a pre-determined amount known as fixed odds. Sportsbook revenue is generated by
setting odds such that there is a built-in theoretical margin in each sports wagering opportunity
offered to users. Sportsbook revenue is generated from users’ wagers net of payouts
made on users’ winning wagers and incentives awarded to users. The Company recognizes
revenue at the point in time that the outcome of the transaction and event or events is known
(that is, revenue is recognized when it is settled). During the year ended December 31, 2021,
online wagering revenue was immaterial.
F- 15
Subscriber
Related Expenses
Subscriber
related expenses consist primarily of affiliate distribution rights and other distribution costs related to content streaming. The cost
of affiliate distribution rights is generally incurred on a per subscriber basis and is recognized when the related programming is distributed
to subscribers. The Company has certain arrangements whereby affiliate distribution rights are paid in advance or are subject to minimum
guaranteed payments. An accrual is established when actual affiliate distribution costs are expected to fall short of the minimum guaranteed
amounts. To the extent actual per subscriber fees do not exceed the minimum guaranteed amounts, the Company will expense the minimum
guarantee in a manner reflective of the pattern of benefit provided by these subscriber related expenses, which approximates a straight-line
basis over each minimum guarantee period within the arrangement. Subscriber related expenses also include credit card and payment processing
fees for subscription revenue, customer service, certain employee compensation and benefits, cloud computing, streaming, and facility
costs. The Company receives advertising spots from television networks for sale to advertisers as part of the affiliate distribution
agreements. Subscriber related expenses totaled $ 593.2
million, $ 204.2
million and $ 0.0 for the years ended December
31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Broadcasting
and Transmission
Broadcasting
and transmission expenses are charged to operations as incurred and consist primarily of the cost to acquire a signal, transcode, store,
and retransmit it to the subscriber.
Sales
and Marketing
Sales
and marketing expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs, benefits, rent and utilities, stock-based compensation, agency
costs, advertising campaigns and branding initiatives. All sales and marketing costs are expensed as they are incurred. Advertising expense
totaled $ 115.9 million,
$ 48.2 million
and $ 0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Technology
and Development
Technology
and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Technology and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and
related costs, benefits, rent and utilities, stock-based compensation, technical services, software expenses, and hosting expenses.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs, benefits, rent and utilities, stock-based compensation, corporate
insurance, office expenses, professional fees, as well as travel, meals, and entertainment costs.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for share-based payment awards exchanged for services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. Stock options
issued under the Company’s long-term incentive plans are granted with an exercise price equal to no less than the market price
of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and expire up to ten years from the date of grant. These options generally vest over
a four- year period.
The
Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions used in calculating
the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application
of management’s judgment.
Expected
Term - The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding
based on the simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term. The simplified method was used
because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for an estimate of expected term.
F- 16
Expected
Volatility – The Company historically has lacked sufficient company specific historical and implied volatility information.
Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based primarily on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies
with consideration of the volatility of its own traded stock price.
Risk-Free
Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U. S. Treasury zero-coupon issues
with an equivalent remaining term.
Expected
Dividend - The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common shares and does not plan to pay cash dividends
in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in its valuation models.
The
Company accounts for forfeited awards as they occur.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that
includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
ASC
Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s
financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not
to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that
there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The
Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that
would result in material changes to its financial position.
Foreign
Currency
The
Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar while the functional currencies of non-U.S. subsidiaries is determined based on
the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates. The financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into
United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters , using period-end rates of exchange for assets and
liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation
adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining
other comprehensive income (loss).
Net
Loss Per Share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.” The ASU sets forth
a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments
held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the
existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and
applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including
interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for
smaller reporting companies to calendar year 2023. The Company intends to adopt this ASU in January 2022. The adoption of this ASU will
not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The
Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting
pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change
to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financial statements
properly reflect the change.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,
which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separately account for an embedded conversion
feature as an equity component in certain circumstances. A convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument
with no separate accounting for an embedded conversion feature unless separate accounting is required for an embedded conversion feature
as a derivative or under the substantial premium model. The ASU simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation by requiring that
an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations.
Further, the ASU requires enhanced disclosures about convertible instruments. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that
are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method
of transition.
F- 18
The Company will adopt the ASU on January 1, 2022
using the modified retrospective method. Consequently, financial information was not updated, and the disclosures required under the ASU
were not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2022. Upon adoption at January 1, 2022, the Company will make certain adjustments
in our consolidated balance sheet as related to the 2026 Convertible Notes (see Note 11) which consists of an increase of $ 75.3
million in Convertible notes, net of discount, a net decrease of $ 87.9
million in Additional paid-in capital and a net decrease of $ 12.6
million in Accumulated deficit. Additionally, from January 1, 2022, as related to the 2026 Convertible Notes (see Note
11) we will no longer incur non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount related to the previously separated equity
component.
Note
4 - Acquisitions
FuboTV
Merger
On
April 1, 2020, we completed the Merger, as described in Note 1. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, all of the capital
stock of fuboTV Pre-Merger was converted, at a stock exchange ratio of 1.82 , into the right to receive 32,324,362 shares of Series AA
Convertible Preferred Stock, a newly-created class of our Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Series AA Certificate of Designation, each
share of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of the Company’s common stock only in connection
with the sale of such shares on an arms’-length basis either pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.
In
addition, each outstanding option to purchase shares of common stock of fuboTV Pre-Merger was assumed by FaceBank Pre-Merger and converted
into options to acquire FaceBank Pre-Merger’s common stock at a stock exchange ratio of 3.64 . In accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement, the Company assumed 8,051,098 stock options issued and outstanding under the fuboTV Pre-Merger’s 2015 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.32 per share. From and after the Effective
Time, such options may be exercised for shares of the Company’s common stock under the terms of the 2015 Plan.
The
purchase price for the merger was determined to be $ 576.1 million, which consists of (i) $ 530.1 million market value ($ 8.20 per share
stock price of the Company as of April 1, 2020) of 64.6 million common shares (on an as-converted basis), (ii) $ 36.0 million related
to the fair value of outstanding options vested prior to the Merger and (iii) $ 10.0 million related to the effective settlement of a
preexisting loan receivable from fuboTV Pre-Merger. No gain or loss was recognized on the settlement as the loan was effectively settled
at the recorded amount. Transaction costs of $ 0.9 million were expensed as incurred.
The
Company accounted for the Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. FaceBank Pre-Merger was determined
to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Merger Agreement and other factors including: (i) FaceBank Pre-Merger’s
stockholders owned approximately 57 % of the voting common shares of the combined company immediately following the closing of the Merger
(54% assuming the exercise of all vested stock options as of the closing of the transaction) and (ii) directors appointed by FaceBank
Pre-Merger would hold a majority of board seats in the combined company.
F- 19
The
following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired, inclusive of intangible assets, with the excess
fair value recorded to goodwill. The goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, is attributable to the assembled workforce of
fuboTV Pre-Merger, planned growth in new markets, and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of FaceBank Pre-Merger
and fuboTV Pre-Merger. The goodwill established was included within the streaming reporting unit.

The
fair values of the intangible assets acquired were determined using the income and cost approaches. The fair value measurements were
primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements as defined in ASC
820. The relief from royalty method was used to value the software and technology and tradenames. The relief from royalty method is an
application of the income method and estimates fair value for an asset based on the expected cost to license a similar asset from a third-party.
Projected cash flows are discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flow and the time
value of money. The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent
economic utility, was used for customer relationships. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement
cost for these customer related assets.
The
estimated useful lives and fair value of the intangible assets acquired are as follows (in thousands):

The
deferred tax assets represent the deferred tax impact associated with the differences in book and tax basis, including incremental differences
created from the purchase price allocation and acquired net operating losses. Deferred taxes associated with estimated fair value adjustments
reflect an estimated blended federal and state tax rate, net of tax effects on state valuation allowances. For balance sheet purposes,
where U.S. tax rates were used, rates were based on recently enacted U.S. tax law. The effective tax rate of the combined company could
be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-merger activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of
income, and changes in tax law.

Vigtory
On
February 26, 2021, the Company consummated the acquisition of Vigtory, Inc., (“Vigtory”) a sports betting and interactive
gaming company, as a result of the merger of fuboBet Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, into Vigtory, whereby Vigtory continued
as the surviving corporation (the “Vigtory Acquisition”) and its name was changed to Fubo Gaming Inc.
The
purchase price of the Vigtory Acquisition was determined to be $ 10.3 million, including $ 1.7 million of Vigtory’s outstanding convertible
notes and other liabilities settled by the Company on the closing date. The Vigtory Acquisition consideration does not include $ 26.9
million fair value of common shares issued to former employee shareholders of Vigtory subject to vesting over future service periods.
The
Company accounted for the Vigtory Acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the purchase
price was allocated to the net assets acquired with any excess recorded to goodwill. The net assets and liabilities assumed were immaterial
and substantially all of the consideration was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, primarily represents
the benefits expected to result from the assembled workforce of Vigtory. The Company allocated goodwill to its online wagering segment.
The results of the Vigtory Acquisition are included in the Company’s operations from February 26, 2021 in the online wagering
segment.
T he
Company recognized $ 0.4 million of acquisition-related costs for the Vigtory Acquisition that were expensed as incurred during the year
ended December 31, 2021. These costs are included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations and
comprehensive loss.

Molotov
S.A.S
On
December 6, 2021, the Company acquired approximately
99 %
of the equity interests in Molotov S.A.S (“Molotov”), a television streaming platform located in France, for € 101.7
million or $ 115.0
million (“Molotov Acquisition”).
The consideration paid in cash totaled € 14.4
million or $ 16.3
million, and the issuance of 5.7
million shares of the Company’s common
stock with a fair value of approximately $ 98.8
million. Molotov is included in the streaming
segment and its contribution to revenue and operating loss during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $ 1.4
million and $ 8.1
million, respectively.
The Molotov
Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires recognition of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values on the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2021, the
Company has completed a preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration. The Company is gathering information to assess the completeness and accuracy of certain
liabilities and related accounts, and therefore the allocation of the purchase price cannot be finalized as of December 31, 2021.
The Company expects to finalize the valuation of these assets and liabilities, and consideration transferred, as soon as
practicable. Any changes to the preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be
recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

7 – FaceBank AG and Nexway – Disposition
Through
its ownership in FaceBank AG, the Company had an equity investment of 62.3 % in Nexway AG (“Nexway”), which it acquired beginning
on August 15, 2019 and on September 16, 2019. The equity investment in Nexway was a controlling financial interest and the Company consolidated
its investment in Nexway under ASC 810, Consolidation.
On
March 31, 2020, the Company relinquished approximately 20 % of the total Nexway shareholder votes associated with its investment, which
reduced the Company’s voting interest in Nexway to 42.6 % . As a result of the Company’s loss of control in Nexway, the Company
deconsolidated Nexway as of March 31, 2020 as it no longer had a controlling financial interest.
The
deconsolidation of Nexway resulted in a loss of $ 11.9 million calculated as follows (in thousands):

The
Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than
not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available
positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income,
loss carryback and tax-planning strategies. Generally, more weight is given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the cumulative
loss in recent years, as a significant piece of negative evidence to overcome. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company continued to
maintain that the realization of its deferred tax assets has not achieved a more likely than not threshold therefore, net deferred
tax assets have been offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $ 116.7 million and $ 102.9
million in the years ended December 31, 2021
and December 31, 2020, respectively.
F- 27
On
March 27, 2020 the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act). On December 21, 2020, The U.S.
Congress passed the Consolidation Appropriations Act, 2021 (the CAA Act). We have evaluated the provisions of the CARES Act and CCA Act
and determined that it did not result in a significant impact on our tax provision.
As
of December 31, 2021, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 811.3 million. The federal net operating loss
carryforwards of $ 88.1
million generated before January 1, 2018 will
begin to expire in 2033, and $ 723.2 million will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to the 80% taxable income limitation.
As
of December 31, 2021, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 420.4 million. The state net operating loss carryforward
of $ 329.7 million will begin to expire in 2033 and $ 90.7 million will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to the
80% taxable income limitation.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had foreign
net operating loss carryforwards of $ 156.1 million. The foreign net operating loss carryforward will carryforward indefinitely but are subject
to a limitation on the amount that can be used to offset taxable income in a given year.
Utilization
of the NOL carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred
or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as well as similar state provisions. In general, an “ownership
change” as defined by Code Sections 382 and 383, results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period
resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public
groups. Since the Company’s formation, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions
which, combined with the purchasing stockholders’ subsequent disposition of those shares have resulted in such an ownership change
and could result in an ownership change in the future upon subsequent disposition.
The
Company conducted an analysis of our stock ownership under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and 383. The net operating loss carryforwards
are subject to annual limitations as a result of the ownership changes in 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2020. Approximately $ 1.1 million
of the net operating loss carryforwards are expected to expire before the utilization.
The
Company follows the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740-10), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC
740-10 prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in financial statements of uncertain
tax positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return. No liability related to uncertain tax positions was
required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense in the
Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company had no t incurred any material tax interest or penalties as of December
31, 2021 and 2020. The Company does not anticipate any significant change within 12 months of this reporting date of its uncertain tax
positions.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United
States and various state jurisdictions, France, Spain and India. The Company had been delinquent in filings since December 31,
2014. During 2020, the Company filed all past due income tax returns There are no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities at this
time. The Company’s tax years 2013 through 2021 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for
three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss credits. The Company’s 2018 to 2021
tax years will remain open for examination by the Spain tax authority for four years starting from the day following the date of
termination of the voluntary tax filing period. The Company’s 2021 tax years will remain open for examination by the France
and Indian tax authorities.

Convertible Notes
As
disclosed in Note 2, the Company issued $ 402.5 million of convertible notes (“2026 Convertible Notes”) dated February 2,
2021.
The
initial equivalent conversion price of the 2026 Convertible Notes was $ 57.78 per share of the Company’s common stock. Holders may
convert their 2026 Convertible Notes on or after November 15, 2025, until the close of business on the second business day preceding
the maturity date or prior to November 15, 2025 under certain circumstances including:
(i)
during
any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ended on March 31, 2021, if the
last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period
of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal
to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
(ii)
during
the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price for each trading day of such
five consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common
stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
(iii)
if
the Company calls any or all of the 2026 Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second
scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
(iv)
upon
the occurrence of specified corporate events.
The
Company may also redeem all or any portion of the 2026 Convertible Notes after February 20, 2024 if the last reported sale price of the
Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30
consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides
notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon conversion, the Company can elect to deliver cash or shares or a combination
of cash or shares.
The
Company accounted for the 2026 Convertible Notes using a cash conversion model. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company used an effective
interest rate of 8.67 %
to estimate the fair value of the debt instrument, excluding the equity conversion feature, and recognized a debt discount of $ 90.9
million (representing the difference between
the fair value and the net proceeds) with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. The underwriting discount and offering
expenses totaling $ 13.1
million were allocated between the debt and equity
issuance costs in proportion to the allocation of the liability and equity components of the 2026 Convertible Notes. Accordingly, equity
issuance costs of $ 3.0
million were recorded as an offset to additional
paid-in capital and total debt issuance costs of $ 10.1
million were recorded on the issuance date and
are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The debt
discount and debt issuance costs are being amortized through February 15, 2026, as amortization of debt discount on the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
F- 29
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid $ 7.0
million of interest expense in connection with
the 2026 Convertible Notes and recorded amortization expense of $ 14.9 million included in amortization of debt discount in the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
As
of December 31, 2021, the net carrying value of the 2026 Convertible Notes was $ 316.4 million, with unamortized
debt discount and issuance costs of $ 86.1
million. The estimated fair value (Level
2) of the 2026 Convertible Notes was $ 326.0
million.
Senior

In
April 2018, fuboTV Pre-Merger entered into a senior secured term loan with AMC Networks Ventures, LLC (the “Term Loan”) with
a principal amount of $ 25.0 million, bearing interest equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 5.25 % per annum and with scheduled

amounts to $ 2.4 million.
The CAM Digital Note is currently in a default condition due to non-payment of principal and interest. The Company is in negotiation
with such holders to resolve the matter. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2021, including interest and penalties, is
$ 5.1 million
and is included in notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

paid leaves, rent, utilities, and interest on certain other outstanding debt.
The
Company repaid the outstanding balance of $ 4.7 million on February 26, 2021.

Note
12 – Segments
Prior
to the third quarter of 2021, the Company operated its business and reported its results through a single reportable segment. As a result
of the launch of the Company’s online wagering business, the Company began to operate its business and report its results through
two operating and reportable segments: streaming and online wagering.
Operating
segments are components of the Company for which separate discrete financial information is available to and evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in making decisions regarding
resource allocation and assessing performance. The CODM assesses a combination of metrics such as revenue and adjusted operating expenses
to evaluate the performance of each operating and reportable segment.
F- 30
Since
we launched online wagering in the states of Iowa and Arizona late in 2021, revenue generated from the online wagering segment was immaterial.
Materially, all of our revenues are related to the streaming segment. The following tables set forth our financial performance
by reportable segment:

Options
The
Company provides option grants to employees, directors, and consultants under the 2020 Plan.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company
historically has lacked sufficient company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected
stock volatility based primarily on the historical volatility of a publicly-traded set of peer companies with consideration of the volatility
of its own traded stock price. The risk-free interest rate is determined by referencing the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the
time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on
the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The
expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the
simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term. The simplified method was used because the
Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis for an estimate of expected term.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a modification to stock option and restricted stock award grants to
employees who terminated from the Company. The modifications accelerated the vesting of unvested stock options and restricted stock awards
as of the termination date and provided the option holders with an additional months post-termination to exercise their stock options.
The modifications resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $ 13.9
million during the year ended December 31,
2021.

There
were no options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019.
The
outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2020 were adjusted from the previously reported amount in the Annual Report to exclude certain
option grants subject to discretionary performance conditions, for which a grant date had not occurred as of December 31, 2020.
On
October 8, 2020, the Company awarded the CEO an option which vests based upon the achievement of certain predetermined
goals for each of the five years in the performance period related to stock price, revenue, gross margin, subscribers, new markets launched
and new revenue streams between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2025, which are described in the Company’s annual operating
plan. On a given Determination Date (subsequent to the Company’s calendar year end), the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) will review actual performance against the predetermined metrics and determine, in its sole discretion, the amount
of any vesting that occurs on a given Determination Date. Any such vesting is subject to the CEO’s continuation in service with
the Company through such Determination Date. The
Board may determine vesting at, above, or below 20% of the shares subject to the performance option. All
shares may be eligible for vesting until the Determination Date following the 2025 calendar year. Because the number of shares to be
earned on each Determination Date is subject to the discretion of the Board, the compensation expense is adjusted each
reporting period for changes in fair value prorated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered and based on the number
of shares expected to be earned. As of December 31, 2021, no portion of the option had vested, and during the year ended December
31, 2021, the Company recognized $ 5.4
million of stock-based compensation expense
related to the option. Upon each subsequent Determination Date in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, stock-based compensation
expense will be remeasured and adjusted to reflect the grant date fair value.
F- 35
As
of December 31, 2021, the estimated value of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested options was $ 25.8
million to be recognized over a period of 2.2
years.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, 1,418,532 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised for cash of $ 2.2 million.
Non-employees
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted options to purchase 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise
price of $ 7.20 per share. These options have a fair value of $ 1,031,000 , a five-year term and expires on December 21, 2024. These options
were immediately vested as of the grant date. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 280,000 options were exercised in exchange for
222,962 shares of the Company’s common stock. These options are not included in the table above.
As
part of the Merger, the Company also assumed 343,047 options granted to non-employees with a weighted average exercise price of $ 0.23
(included in table above). Stock-based compensation expense related to unvested non-employee options was immaterial for the year ended

Other
than the options assumed as described above, there were no options granted to non-employees during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Company. The PRSUs will vest over a period of 5-calendar years through 2025, subject to the achievement of certain established performance
metrics including Revenue, Subscribers, New Markets Launched and New Revenue Streams. The determination of the number of awards to be

Contingencies
The
Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business,
including relating to business practices and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations.
Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the Company’s view of these matters may change
in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. When the Company determines that a loss is both probable and reasonably
estimable, a liability is recorded and disclosed if the amount is material to the financial statements taken as a whole. When a material
loss contingency is only reasonably possible, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount
of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can reasonably be made. Legal expenses associated with
any contingency are expensed as incurred.
The
Company is engaged in discussions with certain third parties regarding patent licensing matters. The Company is not able to reasonably
estimate whether it will be able to reach an agreement with these parties or the amount of potential licensing fees, if any, it may agree
to pay in connection with these discussions, but it is possible that any such amount could be material.
From time to time, we enter into
business arrangements with vendors for technology services in the ordinary course of business. We are currently engaged in
discussions with a vendor surrounding the scope of the parties’ relationship and underlying obligations under the terms
of their contract. This includes, among other things, the type and range of services to be provided
by this vendor to the Company, the corresponding expenditures by the Company payable under the agreement, and the
vendor’s compliance with its good faith express and implied obligations under the contract. Accordingly, we are not
able to reasonably estimate the amount of the Company’s potential expenditures, if any, under our arrangement with this
vendor, but it is possible that the amounts that the Company may pay for services under the contract could be
material.
Legal
Proceedings
The
Company is and may in the future be involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. Although
the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, currently, the Company believes that the likelihood of any material
adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or our financial position for any such litigation
or claims is remote. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of the costs to defend lawsuits,
diversion of management resources and other factors.

Said-Ibrahim
v. fuboTV Inc., David Gandler, Edgar M. Bronfman Jr., & Simone Nardi, Case No. 21-cv-01412 (S.D.N.Y) & Lee v. fuboTV, Inc., David
Gandler, Edgar M. Bronfman Jr., & Simone Nardi, Case No. 21-cv-01641 (S.D.N.Y.) (consolidated as In re fuboTV Inc. Securities Litigation,
No. 21-cv-01412 (S.D.N.Y.))
On
February 17, 2021, putative shareholders Wafa Said-Ibrahim and Adhid Ibrahim filed a class action lawsuit against the Company, co-founder
and CEO David Gandler, Executive Chairman Edgar M. Bronfman Jr., and CFO Simone Nardi (collectively, the “Class Action Defendants”).
Plaintiffs allege that Class Action Defendants violated federal securities laws by disseminating false and misleading statements regarding
the Company’s financial health and operating condition, including the Company’s ability to grow subscription levels, prospects,
future profitability, seasonality factors, cost escalations, ability to generate advertising revenue, valuation, and entering the online
sports wagering market. The Plaintiffs allege that Class Action Defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, as well as Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and seek damages and other
relief.
On
February 24, 2021, putative shareholder Steven Lee filed a nearly identical class action lawsuit against the same Defendants.
On
April 29, 2021, the court consolidated Said-Ibrahim v. fuboTV Inc., David Gandler, Edgar M. Bronfman Jr., & Simone Nardi ,
Case No. 21-cv-01412 (S.D.N.Y) and Lee v. fuboTV, Inc., David Gandler, Edgar M. Bronfman Jr., & Simone Nardi , Case No. 21-cv-01641
(S.D.N.Y.) under In re FuboTV Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 1:21-cv-01412 (S.D.N.Y.). The court also appointed putative shareholder
Nordine Aamchoune as lead plaintiff.
On
July 12, 2021, Lead Plaintiff filed an Amended Class Action Complaint. Lead Plaintiff seeks to pursue this claim on behalf of himself
as well as all other persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
between March 23, 2020 and January 4, 2021, inclusive, and who were allegedly damaged thereby.
The
Class Action Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint on September 10, 2021. Lead Plaintiff filed an
opposition on November 9, 2021. Class Action Defendants’ filed their reply in support of the motion to dismiss on December
9, 2021. The Company believes the claims alleged in both lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend these
litigations.
Rosenfeld
v. Edgar Bronfman Jr., Henry Ahn, Ignacio Figueras, Daniel Leff, Laura Onopchenko, David Gandler, Par-Jorgen Parson, & Simone Nardi,
Case No. 21-cv-01953 (S.D.N.Y.)
On
March 5, 2021, putative shareholder Robert Rosenfeld filed a derivative lawsuit against the Company and certain Company directors and
officers, including Edgar Bronfman Jr., Henry Ahn, Ignacio Figueras, Daniel Leff, Laura Onopchenko, David Gandler, Par-Jorgen Parson,
and Simone Nardi (collectively, the “Derivative Defendants”). Plaintiff’s complaint closely tracks the allegations
in the Securities Class Action and alleges that the Derivative Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, breached their fiduciary duties, and committed corporate waste.
Plaintiff
seeks to prosecute the action on behalf of the Company, and seeks, among other relief, an order directing Derivative Defendants to take
all necessary actions to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance, risk management, and internal operating procedures
to comply with applicable laws, and an award of damages to the Company for the harm suffered as a result of the alleged wrongful conduct.
On
April 21, 2021, Derivative Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Original Complaint. In light of the arguments made in Derivative
Defendants’ Motion, Plaintiff filed his Amended Verified Shareholder Derivative Complaint on May 12, 2021. Derivative Defendants
filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint on June 2, 2021. On June 23, 2021, after thoroughly considering Derivative Defendants’
arguments in their Motion, Plaintiff concluded that Derivative Defendants’ arguments were well founded and he jointly, with Derivative
Defendants, asked the Court to voluntarily dismiss the derivative action with prejudice, following a proposed Notice of the dismissal
to current shareholders. On June 25, 2021, the court entered an order approving the form of the proposed Notice of dismissal to current
shareholders and ordering fuboTV to file the Notice with the SEC and post the Notice to the investor relations section of fuboTV’s
corporate website. On June 28, 2021, fuboTV filed the Notice with the SEC and posted the Notice to the investor relations
section of fuboTV’s corporate website. On July 28, 2021, the court entered an order dismissing with prejudice the derivative lawsuit
filed by Robert Rosenfeld.
