+Added: of the Accounting for and Disclosure of Digital Tokens and Related Technology Service Revenue
+Added: As disclosed in Notes 2 and
+Added: 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s digital tokens, which mainly consist of utility tokens (“Props”),
+Added: held as of December 31, 2020, are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, and have been included in non-current assets
+Added: on the consolidated balance sheet.
+Added: The Company’s digital tokens as of December 31, 2020 totaled $439,145.
+Added: Also, as disclosed in Note 2 and 7 to the
+Added: consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company entered into a contract with a customer
+Added: to provide technology services, which included the Company agreeing to serve as a launch partner, integrate the customer’s
+Added: Props infrastructure into the Company’s multimedia social applications, perform side-chain validator services and operate
+Added: a loyalty program for the customer.
+Added: Additionally, the Company was to provide Props under the loyalty platform to its customers
+Added: based on their usage and activities on its multimedia social applications.
+Added: In exchange for these services, the revenue earned by
+Added: the Company was to be paid in Props.
+Added: The Props were recorded at their estimated fair value on the transaction dates.
+Added: In connection
+Added: with the agreement, the Company recognized revenue related to the technology services of $525,748, of which $210,000 was included
+Added: as a receivable as of December 31, 2020.
+Added: Digital tokens owed to the Company’s customers under the loyalty program as of December
+Added: 31, 2020 totaled $123,397 and were recorded as a current liability.
+Added: We identified the accounting for and disclosure
+Added: of digital tokens and the related technology service revenue as a critical audit matter for the following reasons.
+Added: Currently, no
+Added: authoritative guidance exists for the accounting for and disclosure of digital assets in accordance with accounting principles
+Added: generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
+Added: The Company’s management has exercised significant judgment
+Added: in their determination of how existing GAAP should be applied to the accounting for digital assets, the related technology service
+Added: revenue, the associated financial statement presentation and accompanying footnote disclosures.
+Added: Further, specialists were required
+Added: to perform audit procedures to test the valuation of the Props token used in the determination of the Company’s recognition
+Added: of technology service revenue, and with the associated carrying amounts of the digital token assets and liability.
+Added: primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:
+Added: ● We evaluated management’s rationale for the application of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
+Added: 350 to account for its digital tokens held and application of ASC 606 for the related technology service revenue;
+Added: ● We evaluated management’s basis for recording digital token intangible assets and receivables as
+Added: a non-current asset, and digital tokens payable as a current liability on the balance sheet;
+Added: ● We evaluated management’s disclosures of its digital token activity in the financial statement footnotes;
+Added: ● We confirmed digital asset receivables and payables with the Company’s customer and examined supporting
+Added: documentation and evidence of Props earned by the Company and its customers;
+Added: ● We tested the digital token activity by comparing the Company’s digital tokens wallet records to
+Added: publicly available blockchain records;
+Added: ● We performed testing procedures to gain reasonable assurance that the digital wallets and associated addresses
+Added: were owned by the Company;
+Added: ● We utilized our internal valuation specialist to test the valuation methods and assumptions used by management
+Added: to estimate the value of the digital tokens earned and held.
+Added: have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.

+Added: or liabilities;
+Added: measurement of the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or
+Added: liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities

+Added: will be substantially aligned.
+Added: fair value of each option granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2011
+Added: Plan”) and 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
+Added: model (see Note 10 for further details).
+Added: Using this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to the (i)
+Added: expected volatility of the Company’s common stock price, (ii) expected life of the award, which for options is the period
+Added: of time over which employees and non- employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise, (iii) expected dividend
+Added: yield on the Company’s common stock, and (iv) a risk-free interest rate, which is based on quoted U.S.
+Added: Treasury rates for
+Added: securities with maturities approximating the expected term.
+Added: Expected volatility is estimated based on the Company’s historical
+Added: volatilities.
+Added: The expected life of options has been determined using the “simplified”
+Added: method, which uses the midpoint
+Added: between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term.
+Added: The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has never paid
+Added: dividends and does not currently anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
+Added: Income (Loss) Per Share
+Added: earnings and loss per share are computed by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average
+Added: number of common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share .
+Added: Diluted earnings
+Added: per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
+Added: during the period.
+Added: Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options
+Added: (using the treasury stock method).
+Added: To the extent stock options are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted
+Added: income (loss) per share.
+Added: and Cash Equivalents
+Added: Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be
+Added: cash equivalents.
+Added: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds.
+Added: The Company maintains
+Added: cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
+Added: As part of its cash management process, the Company
+Added: periodically reviews the relative credit standing of these banks.
+Added: The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts
+Added: and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.
+Added: receivable are composed of amounts due from our advertising partners and from credit card processing companies following the initiation
+Added: of subscription arrangements originated by the Company’s subscribers, which pay by credit card.
+Added: These receivables are unsecured
+Added: and are typically settled by the payment processing company within several days of transaction processing accordingly, an allowance
+Added: for doubtful accounts is considered.
+Added: Accounts receivable from advertising partners and payment processing companies amounted to
+Added: $71,410 and $130,686 on December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
+Added: of December 31, 2020, three advertising partners accounted for 61% of accounts receivable.
+Added: As of December 31, 2019, three advertising
+Added: partners accounted for 47% of accounts receivable.

+Added: In September 2019, the
+Added: Kryptono Exchange announced that as part of its periodic review of its listed digital
+Added: assets it was determined that ProximaX no longer met its standards for continued listing.
+Added: Accordingly, it delisted and ceased trading for XPX tokens on October 4, 2019.
+Added: the value of XPX as listed on other exchanges had declined significantly, the Company
+Added: recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $625,368 which is reported as a component
+Added: of other income and expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations
+Added: for the year ended December 31, 2019.
+Added: TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
+Added: the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold 124,752,914 digital tokens for proceeds of $75,406.
+Added: The recorded loss of approximately
+Added: $72,800 is included under other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: Props tokens received and receivable from YouNow are intangible assets that are accounted for at cost, less impairment charges.
+Added: According to the guidance, a holder of utility tokens cannot only compare the carrying value to fair value at the reporting period,
+Added: but instead must assess impairment daily.
+Added: As a result, the Company uses the amount equal the lowest price during the period in
+Added: which the Props tokens are held as the carrying amount for purposes of testing for impairment.
+Added: calculate the fair value of the Props tokens received and receivable pursuant to the YouNow Agreement, the Company, through a
+Added: third-party valuation, used the backsolve method, which utilizes the option pricing method to calculate the implied value of the
+Added: Props tokens based on the most recent transaction price publicly available (Level 3 inputs).
+Added: For purposes of the Backsolve method,
+Added: the Company used a precedent transaction in which Props tokens were purchased at a price of $0.07 per Props token.
+Added: The precedent
+Added: transaction also included the issuance of warrants to purchase additional Props tokens at a strike price of $0.07 per Props token.
+Added: Using the Backsolve method, the Company took into account the strike price of the warrants issued in the precedent transaction
+Added: and then determined the allocated value of the Props tokens as though it were a basket purchase.
+Added: implied fair value of the Props tokens represents a marketable basis of value.
+Added: As the Props tokens do not currently have access
+Added: to a liquid marketplace, a discount for lack of marketability was applied to the implied fair value using a protective put calculation.
+Added: A summary of the key inputs used in the Backsolve model at December 31, 2020 are summarized as follows:
+Added: (time until an exit or liquidity)
+Added: free rate of return
+Added: basic logic of the protective put approach is supported by the notion that the holder of a non-marketable security can effectively
+Added: purchase liquidity by purchasing a put option on the security.
+Added: Therefore, the non-marketable value of a security is its value
+Added: on a marketable basis, less the value of the hypothetical put option.
+Added: The put option calculation relies on the Black-Scholes option
