Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensedThe consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentationthe financial statements of the financial position, operating resultsCompany, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and cash flows for the periods presented.its VIEs’ subsidiaries.

The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

(b) Use of Estimatesestimates

 

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible thatperiod and accompanying notes, including allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for unamortized production content, the estimateuseful lives of the effectproperty and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actuallong-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash(c) Fair value Measurement

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Cash EquivalentsDisclosures which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands financial statement disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) on the measurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Management of the Company is responsible for considering the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayment and other current assets, short-term bank loans, accounts payable, advances from customers, accrued liabilities and other payables and other taxes payable based on the short-term maturity of these instruments to approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont.)

(d) Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable represent the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration (including billed and unbilled amount) when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. The Company does not have any contract assets since revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred and the payment from customers is not contingent on a future event. The Company maintains allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyses historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to estimate the allowance. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

(e) Unamortized produced content

Produced content includes direct production costs, production overhead and acquisition costs and is stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value. Produced content also includes cash expenditures made to enter into arrangements with third parties to co-produce certain of its productions.

 

The Company considers all short-term investmentsuses the individual-film-forecast-computation method and amortizes the produced content based on the ratio of current period actual revenue (numerator) to estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the fiscal year (denominator) in accordance with an original maturityASC 926. Ultimate revenue estimates for the produced content are periodically reviewed and adjustments, if any, will result in prospective changes to amortization rates. When estimates of total revenues and other events or changes in circumstances indicate that a film or television series has a fair value that is less than its unamortized cost, a loss is recognized currently for the amount by which the unamortized cost exceeds the film or television series’ fair value. For the three months orended March 31, 2019 and 2020, $3,430 and $3,369 were amortized to the cost of sales, and as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, no impairment allowance was recorded.

(f) Intangible asset, net

Intangible asset is stated at cost less when purchasedaccumulated amortization and amortized in a method which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be consumed or otherwise used up. The balance of intangible asset represents software related to CHEERS App, a mobile application that allows its users to access its online store (e-Mall), video content, live streaming, and online games. The software is acquired externally tailored to the Company’s requirements and is amortized straight-line over 7 years in accordance with the way the Company estimates to generate economic benefits from such software.

(g) Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash equivalents.flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not haverecord any cash equivalents as of September 30,impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.2020.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption(h) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance withearly adopted the guidance innew revenue standard Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities606, Revenue from Equity.” Ordinary shares subjectContracts with Customers, on January 1, 2017. The core principle of this new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary sharesdepict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that feature redemption rights that are either withinreflects the control ofconsideration to which the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are consideredcompany expects to be outside of the Company’s control and subjectentitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.achieve that core principle:

 

Income Taxes

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

The Company mainly offers and generates revenue from the copyright licensing of self-produced content, advertising and customized content production and others. Revenue recognition policies are discussed as follows:

Copyright revenue

 

The Company compliesself produces or coproduces TV series featuring lifestyle, culture and fashion, and licenses the copyright of the TV series on an episode basis to the customer for broadcast over a period of time. Generally, the Company signs a contract with a customer which requires the Company to deliver a series of episodes that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Accordingly, the delivery of the series of episodes is defined as the only performance obligation in the contract.

For the TV series produced solely by the Company, the Company satisfies its performance obligation over time by measuring the progress toward the delivery of the entire series of episodes which is made available to the licensee for exhibition after the license period has begun. Therefore, the copyright revenue in a contract is recognized over time based on the progress of the number of episodes delivered.

The Company also coproduces TV series with other producers and licenses the copyright to third-party video broadcast platforms for broadcast. For TV series produced by Glory Star Group with co-producers, the Company satisfies its performance obligations over time by the delivery of the entire series of episodes to the customer, and requires the customer to pay consideration based on the number and the unit price of valid subsequent views of the TV series that occur on a broadcast platform. Therefore, the copyright revenue is recognized when the later of the valid subsequent view occurs or the performance obligation relating to the delivery of a number of episodes has been satisfied.

Advertising revenue

The Company generates revenue from sales of various forms of advertising on its TV series and streaming content by way of 1) advertisement displays, or 2) the integration of promotion activities in TV series and content to be broadcast. Advertising contracts are signed to establish the different contract prices for different advertising scenarios, consistent with the accountingadvertising period. The Company enters into advertising contracts directly with the advertisers or the third-party advertising agencies that represent advertisers.

Accordingly, each purchase order is identified as a separate performance obligation, containing a bundle of advertisements that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Where collectability is reasonably assured, revenue is recognized monthly over the service period of the purchase order.

For contracts signed directly with the advertisers, the Company commits to display a series of advertisements which are substantially the same or similar in content and transfer pattern, and the display of the whole series of advertisements is identified as the single performance obligation under the contract. The Company satisfies its performance obligations over time by measuring the progress toward the display of the whole series of advertisements in a contract, and advertising revenue is recognized over time based on the number of advertisements displayed.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract types, and terms typically include a requirement for payment within a period from 3 to 6 months. Both direct advertisers and third-party advertising agencies are generally billed at the end of the display period and require the Company to issue VAT invoices in order to make their payments.

However, because the local government tax authority uses a quota system to manage the VAT tax, it normally either delays the VAT invoices issued or does not issue sufficient VAT invoices. As such, the Company is not able to provide sufficient VAT invoices on a timely manner and results in increased account receivables.

Customized content production revenue

The Company produces customized short streaming videos according to its customers’ requirement, and earns fixed fees based on delivery. Revenue is recognized upon the delivery of short streaming videos.

CHEERS E-mall marketplace service revenue

The Company through CHEERS E-mall, an online e-commerce platform, enables third-party merchants to sell their products to consumers in China. The Company charges fees for platform services to merchants for sales transactions completed on the Cheer E-Mall including but not limited to products displaying, promotion and transaction settlement services. The Company does not take control of the products provided by the merchants at any point in the time during the transactions and does not have latitude over pricing of the merchandise. Transaction services fee is determined as the difference between the platform sales price and the settlement price with the merchants. CHEERS E-mall marketplace service revenue is recognized at a point of time when the Company’s performance obligation to provide marketplace services to the merchants are determined to have been completed under each sales transaction upon the consumers confirming the receipts of goods. Payments for services are generally received before deliveries.

The Company provides coupons to consumers at our own discretion as incentives to promote CHEERS E-mall marketplace with validity usually around or less than one week, which can only be used in future purchases of eligible merchandise offered on CHEERS E-mall to reduce purchase price that are not specific to any merchant. Consumers are not customers of the Company, therefore incentives offered to consumers are not considered consideration payable to customers. As the consumers are required to make future purchases of the merchants’ merchandise to redeem these coupons, the Company does not accrue any expense for coupons when granted and recognizes the amounts of redeemed coupons as marketing expenses when future purchases are made.

Other Revenues

Other revenue primarily consists of copyrights trading of purchased and produced TV-series and the sales of products on Taobao platform. For copyright licensing of purchased and produced TV-series, the Company recognize revenue on net basis at a point of time upon the delivery of master tape and authorization of broadcasting right. For sales of product, the company recognize revenue upon the transfer of products according to the fixed price and production amount in sales orders.

The Company applied a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. The Company does not have any significant incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers incurred and/or costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requiresTopic 606, that shall be recognized as an asset and liability approachamortized to expenses in a pattern that matches the timing of the revenue recognition of the related contract.

(i) Earnings per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, earnout shares and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. There is no anti-dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020.

(j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)”, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial accountingassets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life, instead of when incurred. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, which amends Subtopic 326-20 (created by ASU No.2016-13) to explicitly state that operating lease receivables are not in the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Additionally, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and reportingHedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief”, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates”, and ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, to provide further clarifications on certain aspects of ASU No. 2016-13 and to extend the nonpublic entity effective date of ASU No. 2016-13. The changes (as amended) are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and the Company is in the process of evaluating the potential effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. DeferredASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based on a preliminary assessment, does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption at September 30, 2019 and 2018, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Public Offering and private placement to purchase 19,000,000 ordinary shares and (2) rights sold in the Initial Public Offering that convert into 2,500,000 ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the rights into ordinary shares are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:19

 

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Recent Developments

 

On September 6, 2019, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Glory Star pursuant to which we will issue to the Sellers a number of Exchange Shares equal in value to US$425 million. See Note 6 to Item 1 above for a description of the Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Overview

We areNew Media Group Holdings Limited, formerly known as TKK Symphony Acquisition Corporation (“GS Holdings”) was a blank check company incorporatedformed on February 5, 2018 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effectingentering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar Business Combinationbusiness combination with one or more businesses. We intendbusinesses or entities.

On February 14, 2020, GS Holdings consummated the transaction (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement dated as of September 6, 2019, as amended (“Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, Glory Star New Media Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Glory Star”), Glory Star New Media (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise limited liability company (“WFOE”) incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and indirectly wholly-owned by Glory Star, Xing Cui Can International Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC (“Xing Cui Can”), Horgos Glory Star Media Co,. Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC (“Horgos”), each of Glory Star’s shareholders (collectively, the “Sellers”), TKK Symphony Sponsor 1, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), in the capacity as the representative from and after the closing of the Business Combination for GS Holdings’ shareholders other than the Sellers, and Bing Zhang, in the capacity as the representative for the Sellers thereunder, pursuant to utilize cash derivedwhich GS Holdings acquired 100% of the equity interests of Glory Star from the proceedsSellers. As a result of the Initial Public Offering, ourBusiness Combination, Sellers became the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse merger, wherein Glory Star is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes and the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of Glory Star.

Upon closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), GS Holdings acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities debtof Glory Star in exchange for (i) 41,204,025 of the Company’s ordinary shares (“Closing Payment Shares”), or one ordinary share for approximately 0.04854 outstanding shares of Glory Star, of which 2,060,201 of the Closing Payment Shares (the “Escrow Shares”) shall be deposited into escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations of the Sellers, plus (ii) earnout payments consisting of up to an additional 5,000,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares if GS Holdings meet certain financial performance targets for the 2019 fiscal year and an additional 5,000,000 of GS Holdings’ ordinary shares if GS Holdings meets certain financial performance targets for the 2020 fiscal year (the “Earnout Shares”). In the event that a combinationfinancial performance target is not met for the 2019 fiscal year and/or 2020 fiscal year but GS Holdings meets certain financial performance targets for the 2019 fiscal year and 2020 fiscal year combined, the Sellers will be entitled to receive any Earnout Shares that they otherwise did not receive (the “Alternative Earnout”).

In connection with the Business Combination, GS Holdings initiated a tender offer to purchase for cash up to 25,000,000 of its ordinary shares at a price of $10.31 per share and a contingent cash securitiespayment equal to a pro rata portion of any additional accrued interest remaining in TKK’s Company’s trust account in excess of $10.28 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes (“Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 13, 2020. As of the expiration of the Tender Offer, a total of 24,986,159 ordinary shares have been validly tendered and debtnot withdrawn and at the final price of approximately $10.31 per share, net to the seller in effecting acash. Upon the expiration of the Tender Offer and the closing of the Business Combination, the total amount of funds in GS Holdings’ trust account of $257,863,157 were released and distributed as follows: (1) $257,720,393 for the repurchase of 24,986,159 ordinary shares to shareholders who elected tender their ordinary shares, and (2) $142,764 for the payment of fees and expenses related to the Business Combination.

 

The issuance of additional shares in a Business Combination:

may significantly reduce the equity interest of our shareholders;
may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if we issue preferred shares with rights senior to those afforded to our ordinary shares;
will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a Business Combination are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and we breach any such covenant without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete a Business Combination will be successful.Overview

 

We provide advertisement and content production services and operate a leading mobile and online digital advertising, media and entertainment business in China. After launching our CHEERS App in 2018, we are fast becoming one of the leading e-commerce platforms in China by allowing our users to access our online store (e-Mall), video content, live streaming, and online games. We focus on creating original professionally-produced content featuring lifestyle, culture and fashion to monetize our advertising and e-commerce platform. We mainly offer and generate revenue from the copyright licensing of self-produced content, advertising and customized content production and CHEERS e-Mall marketplace service and others. We intend to capitalize on the immense growth potential of China’s live streaming and e-commerce markets while cultivating new, innovative monetization opportunities.

Currently, we generate a substantial part of our revenues from advertising placed within our mobile and online video content and on our e-commerce platform. While our mobile and online advertising business is still growing and remains one of our largest sources of revenues, we will also expand our development and promotion of our e-Mall that was launched in 2019.

Key Metrics

We monitor the following key metrics to evaluate the growth of our business, measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, identify trends affecting our business, and make strategic decisions:

CHEERS App Downloads. We define this metric as the total number of downloads of the CHEERS App as of the end of the period. Because we have expanded into e-commerce through our CHEERS App, we believe that this is a key metric in understanding the growth in this business. The number of downloads demonstrates whether we are successful in our marketing efforts in converting viewers of our professionally-produced content on other platforms to the CHEERS App. We view the number of downloads at the end of a given period as a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of our CHEERS App and the increased traffic to our e-Mall platform. As of March 31, 2020, downloads of the CHEERS App exceeded 100.5 million. As of April 30, 2020, the cumulative number of downloads of the CHEERS App exceeded 106.5 million. We believe that this increase in downloads demonstrates the success that we have in converting viewers of our content to the CHEERS App.

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV). We define gross merchandise value, or GMV, as the volume of merchandise sold through our CHEERS App at the end of the period. As we grow our e-Mall platform, it is important to monitor the volume of merchandise that we have sold through the e-Mall. By keeping track of the GMV, it allows us to determine the attractiveness of our CHEERS App platform to our merchants and users. Ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s e-Mall has carried 9,602 Stock Keeping Units (“SKUs”) in total, and for three months ended March 31, 2020, our e-Mall has recorded over $5.8 million in the volume of merchandise sold through our CHEERS App - gross merchandise value (“GMV”), achieving an impressive monthly GMV of nearly $3.0 million in March 2020, up from only $0.2 million in April 2019. As of April 30, 2020, our e-Mall has recorded over an accumulated $27.8 million in GMV. We believe that growth in the GMV will be driven significantly our ability to attract and retain users to the CHEERS App through our professionally-produced content and to further enhance our product offerings.

Daily Active Users (DAUs). We define daily active users, or DAUs, as a user who has logged in or accessed our online video content and/or our e-commerce platform using the CHEERS App, whether on a mobile phone or tablet. We calculate DAUs using internal company data based on the activity of the user account and as adjusted to remove “duplicate” accounts. DAU is a tool that our management uses to manage their operations. In particular, our management sets daily targets of DAUs and monitors the DAUs to see whether to make adjustments as to the promotional activities, advertising campaign, and/or online video contents. On average for the years 2019, the DAU was 1.91 million. On average for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, the DAU were 0.49 million and 4.12 million, respectively.

COVID-19 Affecting Our Results of Operations

 

We have neither engagedIn December 2019, COVID-19 started to spread in any operations nor generated any revenuesChina, and then to date. Our only activities from February 5, 2018 (inception) through September 30, 2019 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummateother parts of the Initial Public Offering, described below, identifying a target company for a Business Combinationworld in early 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the proposed acquisitiontemporary closure of Glory Star. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating incomestores and facilities in the form of interest income on marketable securities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accountingChina and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.elsewhere.

 

ForWith the rapid spread of COVID-19, the global economy is under tremendous pressure and has triggered unprecedented policy changes in governments around the world. However, if the epidemic is not controlled in a timely manner, this could adversely affect businesses in China. We are closely monitoring the development of COVID-19 and continuously evaluate the potential impact on us and our industry.

 Although the COVID-19 outbreak may materially adversely affect the global economy, there is a high rapid growth in the online entertainment and online consumption due to the restriction on outdoor activities. We have seen a rapid growth in our mobile and online operation during this period. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, the download number of CHEERS App has increased by 18%, DAUs has increased by 8%; and the monthly active users (“MAUs”) also get a 7% increase. The total video playback volume has exceeded 10 billion, which is a 38% increase compared to the average volume in year 2019. The average playback length of each video has increased by 10%.

We also had progress in the development of CHEERS App that enriched people’s online entertainment and online consumption during the COVID-19 epidemic period. However, our copyright licensing and advertising business suffered a downturn as we had difficulty in filming TV series and short online videos because employees were encouraged to work remotely from home pursuant to the requirement of quarantines and travel restrictions. The production of contents was gradually suspended after the outbreak of COVID-19 and less contents were available to place advertisements. Due to the temporary closure of business in China and our customers’ operation stagnation, our collection of accounts receivable also slowed down from January to March 2020, which has gradually recovered starting from early April, with the work resumption in China.

Revenues

We primarily have four broad categories of revenues: copyright licensing, advertising, customized content production and CHEERS e-Mall marketplace service.

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had net income of $552,308, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,365,513, offsetMarch 31, decreased by an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $122,750 and operating costs of $690,455.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had net income of $2,966,101, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,423,040, offset by an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $22,898 and operating costs of $1,434,041.

For$4.0 million, or 29.06%, to $9.8 million compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2020 mainly due to the decrease in advertising revenue and copyrights licensing revenue, which was partially offset by an uptick in revenues generated from copyright licensing of produced TV series, the customized content production and CHEERS e-Mall marketplace service as the e-Mall first launched in April 2019.

The advertising revenues of 7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $2.5 million, or 24.2%, as compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which was primarily due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 and transformation of live streams. Our advertisements are mainly embedded in short videos and live streams, which saw a decrease due to the difficulty in filming caused by the quarantines and travel restriction during COVID-19 outbreak. The copyright licensing revenue also decreased $1.7 million, or 63.6%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $2.7 million in the same period of 2019 as we only have copyright revenue from February 5, 2018 (inception) through September 30, 2018,one TV channel over the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to three TV channels over the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses consists of cost of revenues, selling and marketing, general and administrative and research and development expense.

Cost of revenues consists primarily of production cost of TV series, short stream video and network drama, labor cost and related benefits, payments to various channel owners for broadcast, and copyrights and costs associated with the operation of our online game and shopping platform on the CHEERS App such as bandwidth cost and amortization of intangible assets. Our cost of revenues decreased by $3.2 million, or 39.22%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which was in line with the decrease of revenue. The incremental decrease was attributed by the decrease of expenditure on the payments to various channel owners for broadcast advertisements, as we made more use of our own platform CHEERS App which has already attracted large number users to provide advertising service.


Our sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits of sales department, advertising fee, travelling expense and CHEERS e-Mall marketing expense. Our sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.12 million, or 46.33% to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were 3.9% as compared to 1.9% in the same period of 2019, which was due to the increase of coupons and reward points provided to users on CHEERS e-Mall to stimulate platform consumption.

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits of members of our management and bad debt provision expense for accounts receivable and professional service fees. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.65 million, or 101.41%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Such increase was mainly due to an increase of $0.2 million of professional service fee incurred after being listed as public companies and an increase of $0.4 million of bad debt provision expense due to the slow collection of accounts receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our research and development department. Our research and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $0.2 million compared to $0.2 million in the same period of 2019. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were 2.1% compared to 1.4% in the same period of 2019, as we continued to invest in the information technology of our platform in order to strengthen our technology and research and development capabilities.

Other expense, net

Other net expenses primarily consist of interest expense, net of $0.14 million and $0.09 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, we had a net income of $371,210 and $331,351, respectively, which consists$2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to a net income of interest income on marketable securities held$4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reduced slightly to 29.1% from 30.1% in the Trust Account $588,938, offset by operating costssame period of $64,359 and $104,218, respectively, and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account $153,369.2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On August 20As of December 31, 2019 and 22, 2018,March 31, 2020, our principal sources of liquidity were cash of approximately $6.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively. Working capital at March 31, 2020 was $46.8 million. We believe our existing cash and working capital will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures needs over at least the next 12 months.

A majority of our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 were held in China, of which all denominated in Renminbi. In addition, we consummatedare a holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct our operations primarily through our subsidiaries and VIEs in China. As a result, our ability to pay dividends, if any, depends upon dividends paid by our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We do not anticipate paying any dividends in the Initial Public Offeringfuture as any net income earned will be reinvested in the company. In addition, our WFOE is permitted to pay dividends to us only out of 22,000,000 Unitstheir retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, our WFOE and each of our consolidated entities is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Although the statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by the SAFE. We currently plan to reinvest all earnings from our WFOE to business development and does not plan to request dividend distributions from the WFOE.

If we experience an adverse operating environment or incurred anticipated capital expenditure requirement, or if we accelerate our growth, then additional financing may be required. No assurance can be given, however, that the additional financing, if required, would be on favorable terms or available at all. Such financing may include the use of additional debt or the sale or additional securities. Any financing, which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities, could result in immediate and possibly significant dilutions to our existing shareholders.

We intend to continue focusing on timelier collections of account receivable which should enhance our cash flows. We anticipate the major capital expenditure in the near future will be around RMB85.2 million (approximately $12.0 million), which is for the further enhancement of CHEERS App.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not withdraw any funds fromhave, during the interest earned on the Trust Account.


We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account to acquire a target business or businessesperiods presented, and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including a cash fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of Initial Public Offering payable to the upon consummation of our Business Combination for assisting us in connection with such Business Combination. To the extent that our ordinary shares are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

As of September 30, 2019, we had cash of $47,270 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate prospective acquisition candidates, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, select the target business to acquire and structure, negotiate and consummate a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to (except as described herein), loan us funds as may be required. In the event that our Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to our Sponsor. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than the initial shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver againstcurrently have, any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

On September 6, 2019, we issued the Sponsor an unsecured promissory note in a principal amount of up to $1,100,000 (the “Note”) for working capital loans made or to be made by the Sponsor, pursuant to which $350,000 of previously provided advances were converted into loans under the Note. The Note bears no interest and is due on the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) our liquidation. Up to $1,000,000 of the loans under the Note may be converted into warrants, each warrant entitles the holders to receive one half of one ordinary share, at $0.50 per warrant. In September 2019, the Company received an additional $500,000 under the Note, bringing the total outstanding balance due under the Note as of September 30, 2019 to an aggregate of $850,000.

We have principally financed our operations from inception using proceeds from the sale of our equity securities to our shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering and such amount of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering that were placed in an account outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. As of September 30, 2019, we had $47,270 in our operating bank accounts, $256,286,247 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem our ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $80,945. In addition, in February 2019, our Sponsor committed to provide us an aggregate of $300,000 in loans and in April 2019, our Sponsor committed to provide us an additional aggregate amount of $300,000 in loans. On September 6, 2019, we issued our Sponsor an unsecured promissory note in a principal amount of up to $1,100,000 for working capital loans made or to be made by our Sponsor. The Note replaced the above commitments provided by the Sponsor. Up to $1,000,000 of the loans under the Note may be converted into warrants. As of September 30, 2019, there was $850,000 outstanding under the Note. Based on the foregoing, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our needs through February 20, 2020, our scheduled liquidation date.

Off-balanceoff-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2019. We do not participate in transactions that createany relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, oftenincluding entities sometimes referred to as variable intereststructured finance or special purpose entities which would have beenthat were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities,contractually narrow or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer a monthly fee of $15,000 for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative services provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on August 15, 2018 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparationOur discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and related disclosuresare prepared in conformityaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaU.S. GAAP, which requires managementus to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities disclosure ofand revenues and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities aton the datedates of the consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation of accounts receivable, the recoverability of long-lived assets, unamortized produced content, and revenue recognition. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actualreporting process, actual results could materially differ from those estimates as a result of changes in our estimates. We have identified the

The following critical accounting policies:policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

Ordinary shares subjectAccounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable represent the amounts that we have an unconditional right to possible redemptionconsideration when we have satisfied our performance obligation. We do not have any contract assets since revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred and the payment from customers is not contingent on a future event. We maintain allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Our management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyses historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to estimate the allowance. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Unamortized produced content

Produced content includes direct production costs, production overhead and acquisition costs and is stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value. Produced content also includes cash expenditures made to enter into arrangements with third parties to co-produce certain of our productions.

We use the individual-film-forecast-computation method and amortizes the produced content based on the ratio of current period actual revenue (numerator) to estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the fiscal year (denominator) in accordance with ASC 926. Ultimate revenue estimates for the produced content are periodically reviewed and adjustments, if any, will result in prospective changes to amortization rates. When estimates of total revenues and other events or changes in circumstances indicate that a film or television series has a fair value that is less than its unamortized cost, a loss is recognized currently for the amount by which the unamortized cost exceeds the film or television series’ fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, $3.4 million and $3.4 million were amortized to the cost of sales, and as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, impairment allowance of $nil was recorded.

 Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, we review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. We did not record any impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020.

Revenue Recognition

 

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance withadopted the guidance innew revenue standard Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities606, Revenue from Equity.” Ordinary shares subjectContracts with Customers, on January 1, 2017. The core principle of this new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary sharesdepict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that feature redemption rights that are either withinreflects the control of the holder or subjectconsideration to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are consideredwhich we expect to be outsideentitled in exchange for those goods or services. 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 we satisfy a performance obligation

We mainly offer and generate revenue from the copyright licensing of our controlself-produced content, advertising and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemptioncustomized content production and others. Revenue recognition policies are presented at redemption valuediscussed as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.follows:

 

Net loss per ordinary shareCopyright revenue

 

We applyself-produce or coproduce TV series featuring lifestyle, culture and fashion, and license the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per ordinary share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata sharecopyright of the Trust Account earnings. Our net incomeTV series on a per-episode basis to the customer for broadcast over a period of time. Generally, we sign a contract with a customer which requires us to deliver a series of episodes that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Accordingly, the delivery of the series of episodes is adjusted fordefined as the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption, as these shares only participateperformance obligation in the earningscontract.

For the TV series produced solely by us, we satisfy our performance obligation over time by measuring the progress toward the delivery of the Trust Accountentire series of episodes which is made available to the licensee for exhibition after the license period has begun. Therefore, the copyright revenue in a contract is recognized over time based on the progress of the number of episodes delivered.

We also coproduce TV series with other producers and notlicense the copyright to third-party video broadcast platforms for broadcast. For TV series produced by us with co-producers, we satisfy our incomeperformance obligations over time by the delivery of the entire series of episodes to the customer, and requires the customer to pay consideration based on the number and the unit price of valid subsequent views of the TV series that occur on a broadcast platform. Therefore, the copyright revenue is recognized when the later of the valid subsequent view occurs or losses.the performance obligation relating to the delivery of a number of episodes has been satisfied.

 

Recent accounting pronouncementsAdvertising revenue

 

ManagementWe generate revenue from sales of various forms of advertising on our TV series and streaming content by way of 1) advertisement displays, or 2) the integration of promotion activities in TV series and content to be broadcast. Advertising contracts are signed to establish the different contract prices for different advertising scenarios, consistent with the advertising period. We enter into advertising contracts directly with the advertisers or the third-party advertising agencies that represent advertisers.

For contracts that involve third-party advertising agencies, we are the principal as we are responsible for fulfilling the promise of providing advertising services and has the discretion in establishing the price for the specified advertisement. Under a framework contract, we receive separate purchase orders from advertising agencies before the broadcast. Accordingly, each purchase order is identified as a separate performance obligation, containing a bundle of advertisements that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Where collectability is reasonably assured, revenue is recognized monthly over the service period of the purchase order.

For contracts signed directly with the advertisers, we commit to display a series of advertisements which are substantially the same or similar in content and transfer pattern, and the display of the whole series of advertisements is identified as the single performance obligation under the contract. We satisfy our performance obligations over time by measuring the progress toward the display of the whole series of advertisements in a contract, and advertising revenue is recognized over time based on the number of advertisements displayed.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract types, and terms typically include a requirement for payment within a period from 3 to 6 months. Both direct advertisers and third-party advertising agencies are generally billed at the end of the display period and require us to issue VAT invoices in order to make their payments.

 However, because the local government tax authority uses a quota system to manage the VAT tax, it normally either delays the VAT invoices issued or does not believe that any recently issued,issue sufficient VAT invoices. As such, we are not able to provide sufficient VAT invoices on a timely manner and results in increased account receivables.


Customized content production revenue

We produce customized short streaming videos according to our customers’ requirement, and earn fixed fees based on delivery. Revenue is recognized upon the delivery of short streaming videos.

CHEERS e-Mall marketplace service revenue

Through our CHEERS e-Mall, an online e-commerce platform, we enable third-party merchants to sell their products to consumers in China. We charge fees for platform services to merchants for sales transactions completed on the CHEERS e-Mall including but not yetlimited to products displaying, promotion and transaction settlement services. We do not take control of the products provided by the merchants at any point in the time during the transactions and do not have latitude over pricing of the merchandise. The transaction services fee is determined as the difference between the platform sales price and the settlement price with the merchants. The CHEERS e-Mall marketplace service revenue is recognized at a point of time when our performance obligation to provide marketplace services to the merchants are determined to have been completed under each sales transaction upon the consumers confirming the receipts of goods. Payments for services are generally received before deliveries.

We provide coupons at our own discretion as incentives to promote the CHEERS e-Mall marketplace with a validity of usually less than two months, which can only be used in future purchases of eligible merchandise offered on the CHEERS e-Mall to reduce purchase price that are not specific to any merchant. Consumers are not our customers, therefore incentives offered to consumers are not considered consideration payable to customers. As the consumers are required to make future purchases of the merchants’ merchandise to redeem these coupons, we do not accrue any expense for coupons when granted and recognizes the amounts of redeemed coupons as marketing expenses when future purchases are made.

Other Revenues

Other revenue primarily consists of copyrights trading of purchased and produced TV-series and the sales of products on the Taobao platform. For copyright licensing of purchased and produced TV-series, we recognize revenue on net basis at a point of time upon the delivery of master tape and authorization of broadcasting right. For sales of product, we recognize revenue upon the transfer of products according to the fixed price and production amount in sales orders.

The following table identifies the disaggregation of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 (unaudited), respectively:

  For the three months ended

Goods transferred at a point in time  6   547 
Total $13,753  $9,757 

We applied a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. We do not have any significant incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers incurred and/or costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606, that shall be recognized as an asset and amortized to expenses in a pattern that matches the timing of the revenue recognition of the related contract.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)”, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life, instead of when incurred. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, which amends Subtopic 326-20 (created by ASU No.2016-13) to explicitly state that operating lease receivables are not in the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Additionally, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief”, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates”, and ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, to provide further clarifications on certain aspects of ASU No. 2016-13 and to extend the nonpublic entity effective date of ASU No. 2016-13. The changes (as amended) are effective for the annual and interim periods of our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and we are in the process of evaluating the potential effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting standards, iffor income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently adopted, wouldassessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based on a preliminary assessment, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effectimpact on our condensedconsolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

The material weakness related to the deficiency in the ability of Glory Star’s in-house accounting professionals to generate financial statements in the form required by applicable SEC requirements. In order to address and resolve the foregoing material weakness, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made the following change into our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, orreporting:

The measure we are implementing is reasonably likelysubject to materially affect,continued management review supported by confirmation and testing, as well as audit committee oversight. Management remains committed to the implementation of remediation efforts to address these material weaknesses. Although we will continue to implement measures to remedy our internal control over financial reporting.deficiencies, there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or avoid potential future material weaknesses. In addition, until the remediation step has been completed and/or operated for a sufficient period of time, and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness is completed, the material weakness identified and described above will continue to exist.
