−Removed: significant and subjective estimates or assumptions that may deviate from actual results.
−Removed: In particular, management makes estimates
−Removed: regarding the useful life of long-lived assets related to depreciation and amortization expense, estimates regarding fair value
−Removed: of our reporting units and future cash flows with respect to assessing potential impairment of both long-lived assets and goodwill
−Removed: and estimates of expense related to our debt and equity instruments.
−Removed: Each of these estimates is discussed in greater detail in
−Removed: the following discussion.
−Removed: Assets, Depreciation and Amortization Expense and Valuation
−Removed: We review the carrying value of long-lived
−Removed: assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset, or related asset group,
−Removed: may not be recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows.
−Removed: Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
−Removed: by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated
−Removed: by the asset or asset group.
−Removed: If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge
−Removed: is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
−Removed: For the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2022, we recognized that we would not complete the acquisition of the TV station assets of W27EB and KPHE TV and we wrote off
−Removed: $1,150,000 in deposits paid to sellers of those assets.
−Removed: For the year ended December 31, 2022,
−Removed: our intangible assets primarily consisted of our domain names and access to a third party streaming platform for our BCTV business,
−Removed: which are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not amortized, but instead are tested at least annually for impairment.
−Removed: Based on management’s assessment of the lack of revenue to date and the prospects for future revenues using the intangible
−Removed: assets, we fully impaired the assets and recognized an impairment charge of $197,427 in the year ended December 31, 2022.
−Removed: performed the annual goodwill impairment assessment as of December 31, 2021 and concluded that our goodwill for the Sovryn acquisition
−Removed: was impaired as of that date.
−Removed: Goodwill is tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
−Removed: the asset might be impaired.
−Removed: We follow a two-step process for testing impairment.
−Removed: First, the fair value of each reporting unit
−Removed: is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists.
−Removed: If impairment is indicated, then the
−Removed: fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value of its assets and liabilities
−Removed: (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination.
−Removed: of impairment for goodwill is measured as the excess of its carrying value over its implied fair value.
−Removed: For the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2022, we had no goodwill.
−Removed: have certain financial instruments that are derivatives or contain embedded derivatives.
−Removed: We evaluate all of our financial instruments
−Removed: to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately
−Removed: accounted for in accordance with ASC 810-10-05-4 and 815-40.
−Removed: This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any
−Removed: derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date.
−Removed: In the event that the fair
−Removed: value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with us, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either
−Removed: other income or expense.
−Removed: Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at
−Removed: the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as
−Removed: part of gain or loss on extinguishment.
