TABLE OF CONTENTS

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

AND
OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Form 10-Q. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective products, applications, customers and technologies; future performance or results of anticipated products; anticipated expenses; and projected financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

●

our ability to continue as a going concern;

●

our operating expenses exceed our revenues and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future;

●

our ability to obtain additional capital, which may be difficult to raise as a result of our limited operating history or any number of other reasons;

●

our ability to provide digital content that is useful to users;

●

our ability to retain existing users or add new users;

●

competition from traditional media companies;

●

general economic conditions and events and the impact they may have on us and our users; and

●

other factors discussed in this Form 10-Q.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make or collaborations or strategic partnerships we may enter into.

You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Creatd,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Creatd, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization and Operations
Creatd, Inc., formerly Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “Creatd”), is a technology company focused on the development of digital communities, marketing branded digital content, and e-commerce opportunities.

The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 30, 1999 under the name LILM, Inc. The Company changed its name on December 3, 2013 to Great Plains Holdings, Inc. as part of its plan to diversify its business.
On February 5, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), GTPH, GPH Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GTPH (“Merger Sub”), and Jerrick Ventures, Inc., a privately-held Nevada corporation headquartered in New Jersey (“Jerrick”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Jerrick, with Jerrick surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GTPH (the “Merger”). GTPH acquired, pursuant to the Merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of Jerrick in exchange for issuing Jerrick’s shareholders (the “Jerrick Shareholders”), pro-rata, a total of 475,000 shares of GTPH’s common stock. In connection therewith, GTPH acquired 33,415 shares of Jerrick’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Jerrick Series A Preferred”) and 8,064 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Jerrick Series B Preferred”).
In connection with the Merger, on the Closing Date, GTPH and Kent Campbell entered into a Spin-Off Agreement (the “Spin-Off Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Campbell purchased from GTPH (i) all of GTPH’s interest in Ashland Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and (ii) all of GTPH’s interest in Lil Marc, Inc., a Utah corporation, in exchange for the cancellation of 39,091 shares of GTPH’s Common Stock held by Mr. Campbell. In addition, Mr. Campbell assumed all debts, obligations and liabilities of GTPH, including any existing prior to the Merger, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off Agreement.
Upon closing of the Merger on February 5, 2016, the Company changed its business plan to that of Jerrick.
Effective February 28, 2016, GTPH entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Statutory Merger Agreement”) with Jerrick, pursuant to which GTPH became the parent company of Jerrick Ventures, LLC, a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Jerrick (the “Statutory Merger”) and GTPH changed its name to Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. to better reflect its new business strategy.
On September 11, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Seller’s Choice, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Seller’s Choice”). Seller’s Choice is a digital e-commerce agency based in New Jersey (see Note 4).

On June 4, 2021, the Company acquired 89% of the membership interests of Plant Camp, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Plant Camp”). Plant Camp is a CPG company that creates healthy upgrades to kid-friendly foods.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

7
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any other interim period or for any other future year. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
● Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
● Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)
● Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including our own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The Company’s Level 1 assets/liabilities include cash, accounts receivable, marketable trading securities, accounts payable, prepaid and other current assets, line of credit and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.
The Company’s Level 2 assets/liabilities include certain of the Company’s notes payable and capital lease obligations. Their carrying value approximates their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rate and terms of such debt given the level of risk to the rates and terms of similar debt currently available to the Company in the marketplace.
The Company’s Level 3 assets/liabilities include goodwill, intangible assets, marketable debt securities, equity investments at cost, and derivative liabilities, when they are recorded at fair value due to an impairment charge. Inputs to determine fair value are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.
The following table provides a summary of the relevant assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on recurring basis:

Fair Value Valuation Methodology Unobservable Inputs
Equity investments, at cost $ 367,096 Qualitative assessment per ASC 321-10-35 Qualitative factors
The Company valued the initial value of debt securities, which are investments in convertible notes receivable, by assessing the separate values of the debt and equity components for similar instruments convertible into private company equity (Level 3). The investment was initially measured at cost, which was determined to approximate fair value due to the lack of marketability of the conversion shares underlying these convertible instruments and the expected recoverability of the note principal. The key assumption affecting the level 3 fair values would be collectability of the notes. The Company monitors for impairment indicators at each balance sheet date.

~~Marketable debt securities as of March 31, 2021 are as follows:~~

Fair Value
Hierarchy Cost Unrealized Gains
(Loss) Fair Value
Marketable securities - debt securities 3 $ 62,733 $ - $ 62,733
The change in net unrealized holding gain (loss) on debt securities available for sale that has been included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as a separate component of Stockholder’s Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0 and $0, respectively.
The Company recognizes impairment on loans or notes receivable (that do not meet the definition of a debt security) when it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms, and the amount of loss can be estimated. The loss is estimated based on the present value of expected cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 the Company recognized a $0 credit loss on debt marketable securities.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurable limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, cash amounts in excess of $250,000 were not fully insured. The uninsured cash balance as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 was approximately ~~$2.6~~$1.9 million. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Long-lived Assets Including Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangibles Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of property and equipment and acquired finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate from the use and eventual disposition. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. We have not recorded any ~~significant~~ impairment charges for these type of assets during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.
Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We routinely review the remaining estimated useful lives of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. If we change the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life.
During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill. The Company performed the qualitative assessment as permitted by ASC 350-20 and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit was more likely than not equal or greater than the carrying value, including Goodwill. Based on completion of this annual impairment test, no impairment was indicated.
Investments
11
~~Investments~~
Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or as trading are classified as available-for-sale, and are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in stockholders’ equity.
The Company accounts for its investments in available-for-sale debt securities, in accordance with sub-topic 320-10 of the FASB ASC (“Sub-Topic 320-10”). Accrued interest on these securities is included in fair value and amortized cost.

Pursuant to Paragraph 320-10-35, investments in debt securities that are classified as available for sale shall be measured subsequently at fair value in the statement of financial position. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities (including those classified as current assets) shall be excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized.
The Company follows FASB ASC 320-10-35 to assess whether an investment in debt securities is impaired in each reporting period. An investment in debt securities is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. If the Company intends to sell the debt security (that is, it has decided to sell the security), an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have occurred. If the Company more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis or it otherwise does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have occurred. The Company considers the expected cash flows from the investment based on reasonable and supportable forecasts as well as several other factors to estimate whether a credit loss exists. If the Company intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.

We invest in debt securities. Our investments in debt securities are subject to interest rate risk. To minimize the exposure due to an adverse shift in interest rates, we invest in securities with maturities of two years or less and maintain a weighted average maturity of one year or less. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, all of our investments had maturities between one and three years. The marketable debt security investments are evaluated for impairment if events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company recognized a $62,733 impairment of the debt security.

The Company has elected to measure its equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. An election to measure an equity security in accordance with this paragraph shall be made for each investment separately.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether these investments were impaired. Impairment indicators that the Company considered included the following: a) a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality or business prospects of the investee; b) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technology environment of the investee; c) a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates; d) a bona fide offer to purchase or an offer by the investee to sell the investment; e) factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at our Consolidated Balance Sheet dates. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the periods. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of assets and liabilities is included as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, which are included in ~~SG&A,~~operating expenses, have not been significant in any period presented.
13
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. The Company changed its method of accounting for the debt and warrants through the early adoption of ASU 2017-11 during the three months ended December 31, 2017, on a retrospective basis.
The Company utilizes a ~~Geometric Brownian Motion (“GBM”)~~Monte Carlo simulation model for the make whole feature and a ~~Binomial~~binomial option model for convertible notes that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The inputs utilized in the application of the ~~GBM~~Monte Carlo model included a starting stock price, an expected term of each debenture remaining from the valuation date to maturity, an estimated volatility, drift, and a risk-free rate. The inputs utilized in the application of the Binomial model included a stock price on valuation date, an expected term of each debenture remaining from the valuation date to maturity, an estimated volatility, and a risk-free rate. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
● identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
● identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
● determination of the transaction price. The transaction price for any given subscriber could decrease based on any payments made to that subscriber. A subscriber may be eligible for payment through one or more of the monetization features offered to Vocal creators, including earnings through reads (on a cost per ~~mille~~mile basis) and cash prizes offered to Challenge winners;
● allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
● recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

Agency Revenue
Managed Services
The Company provides Studio/Agency Service offerings to business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) product and service brands which encompasses a full range of digital marketing and e-commerce solutions. The Company’s services include the setup and ongoing management of clients’ websites, Amazon and Shopify storefronts and listings, social media pages, search engine marketing, and other various tools and sales channels utilized by e-commerce sellers for sales and growth optimization. Contracts are broken into three ~~categories~~categories: Partners, Monthly Services, and Projects. Contract amounts for Partner and Monthly Services clients range from approximately $500-$7,500 per month while Project amounts vary depending on the scope of work. Partner and Monthly clients are billed monthly for the work completed within that month. Partner Clients may or may not have an additional billing component referred to as Sales Performance Fee, which is a fee based upon a previously agreed upon percentage point of the client’s total sales for the month. Some Partners may also have projects within their contracts that get billed and recognized as agreed upon project milestones are achieved. Revenue is recognized over time as service obligations and milestones in the contract are met.
Branded Content
Branded content represents the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to create and publish branded articles for clients on the Vocal platform and promote said stories, tracking engagement for the client. The performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully publishes the articles on its platform and meets any required promotional milestones as per the contract. The revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed and any required milestones are met.
Below are the significant components of a typical agreement pertaining to branded content revenue:
● The Company collects fixed fees ranging from $10,000 to $110,000.
● The articles are created and published within three months of the signed agreement, or as previously negotiated with the client.
● The articles are promoted per the contract and engagement reports are provided to the client.
● Most billing for contracts occurs 50% at signing and 50% upon completion of the services, with net payment terms varying per client.
● Most contracts include provisions for clients to acquire content rights at the end of the campaign for a flat fee.
Platform Revenue
Creator Subscriptions
Vocal+ is a premium subscription offering for Vocal creators. In addition to joining for free, Vocal creators now have the option to sign up for a Vocal+ membership for either $9.99 monthly or $99 annually, though these amounts are occasionally subject to promotional discounts. Vocal+ subscribers receive access to value-added features such as increased rate of cost per mille (thousand) (“CPM”) monetization, a decreased minimum withdrawal threshold, a discount on platform processing fees, member badges for their profiles, access to exclusive Vocal+ Challenges, and early access to new Vocal features. Subscription revenues stem from both monthly and annual subscriptions, the latter of which is amortized over a twelve-month period. Any customer payments received are recognized over the subscription period, with any payments received in advance being deferred until they are earned.
15
The transaction price for any given subscriber could decrease based on any payments made to that subscriber. A subscriber may be eligible for payment through one or more of the monetization features offered to Vocal creators, including earnings through reads (on a cost per mille basis) and cash prizes offered to Challenge winners. Estimates are utilized for payments made for earnings through reads, by establishing the lifetime a subscriber has had a Vocal account, determining the percentage of that lifetime that the subscriber has been a paying customer, and applying that percentage to payments for earnings through reads in the relevant reporting period.

Affiliate Sales Revenue
Affiliate sales represents the commission the Company receives when a purchase is made through affiliate links placed within content hosted on the Vocal platform. Affiliate revenue is earned on a “click through” basis, upon referring visitors, via said links, to an affiliate’s site and having them complete a specific outcome, most commonly a product purchase. The Company uses multiple affiliate platforms, such as Skimlinks, Amazon, and Tune, to form and maintain thousands of vendor relationships. Each vendor establishes their own commission percentage, which typically range from 2-20%. The revenue is recognized upon receipt as reliable estimates could not be made.
E-Commerce Revenue

The Company generates revenue through the sale of consumer products through its e-commerce distribution channels. The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon receipt of product by its customers.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings and payments from clients in advance of revenue recognition. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had deferred revenue of ~~$148,760~~$208,517 and $88,637, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable are recorded and carried when the Company has performed the work in accordance with managed services, project, partner, consulting and branded content agreements. For example, we bill a managed service client monthly when we have updated their Amazon store, modified SEO or completed the other services listed in the agreement. For projects and branded content, we will bill the client and record the receivable once milestones are reached that are set in the agreement. We make estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company recorded ~~$997~~$0 as a bad debt expense. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of ~~$81,506~~$76,340 and $80,509, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments granted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.
Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service ~~periods, typically over a five-year period (vesting on a straight–line basis). The fair value of a stock award is equal to the fair market value of a share of Company stock on the grant date.~~periods.
The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the value of the underlying share, the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is benchmarked against similar companies in a similar industry over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on management’s best estimate.
16
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity–based compensation could be materially different in the future. The Company issues awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock units, to employees and certain non-employee directors. Compensation expense related to these awards is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is amortized over the service period, defined as the vesting period, using the cliff straight-line method. The vesting period is generally one to three years. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock units. Compensation expense is reduced for actual forfeitures as they occur.

Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, which is the case for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020 presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company had the following common stock equivalents at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020:
March 31,
2021 2020

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the prior period's total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ deficit, net loss or net cash used in operating activities.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The updated guidance, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU-2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. (ASU 2021-04), “Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815). This guidance amendments provide measurement, recognition, and disclosure guidance for an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of ~~$78.6~~$87.5 million, a net loss of ~~$6.6~~$15.2 million and net cash used in operating activities of ~~$5.3~~$11 million for the reporting period then ended. The Company is in default on debentures as of the date of this filing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 novel coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The COVID-19 coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the complete financial impact will be to the Company, capital raising efforts and our operations may be negatively affected.
The Company is attempting to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues; however, its cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering of its debt or equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on reasonable terms, or at all. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 -– Equity investments, at cost
The Company has elected to measure its equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. An election to measure an equity security in accordance with this paragraph shall be made for each investment separately.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether these investments were impaired. Impairment indicators that the Company considered included the following: a) a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality or business prospects of the investee; b) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technology environment of the investee; c) a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates; d) a bona fide offer to purchase or an offer by the investee to sell the investment; e) factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On October 2, 2020, the Company converted $102,096 of its marketable debt security into 119,355 shares of preferred stock or a 1.3% equity investment in a private company.
On October 23, 2020, the Company entered into an equity interest purchase agreement whereas the Company purchased 3.8% ownership of a private company for $115,000.
On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement whereas the Company purchased another 3.3% ownership of a private company for $100,000.

On May 21, 2021, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement whereas the Company purchased 10.0% ownership of a private company for $50,000.
On May 27, 2021, the Company made a deposit of $110,000 towards future ownership in a private company. As of June 30, 2021, had no voting control nor equity in the private company related to this deposit.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company repaid ~~$20,000~~$30,000 in principal.
The Company is in the process of returning the funds received from the Loan.
When the applications for PPP first opened up, there was limited available funding and much confusion surrounding the application process. The Company initially submitted its application for the May 2020 PPP Loan in early April but received no response in the aftermath of submitting the application. After consulting multiple advisors, the Company made the decision to apply elsewhere, due to the rampant media coverage of institutions running out of funding and the Company’s need for the capital and belief that if 2 separate loans were approved, the remaining application could simply be withdrawn.

Therefore, in late April, the company proceeded with applying for the April 2020 PPP Loan. After some conflicting communications regarding acceptance, the Company attempted to contact the lender to clarify but got no response. After continued attempts to follow up with both lenders, the Company received approval for the May 2020 PPP Loan and funding for the April 2020 PPP Loan on the same day, followed the next day by the funding of the May 2020 PPP Loan. The Company immediately separated the funds for the April 2020 PPP Loan into a separate reserved bank account with the intention of returning the funds. However, after several attempts to contact the lender with no response, the Company was faced with difficulty raising funds in the early-Covid economy and made the decision to utilize the funds for operations and pursue an installment repayment plan when they were able to reach the lender. As of the date of this filing, the Company has begun making repayments on the loan, absent a formal installment agreement due to difficulties reaching the lender. The Company intends to complete repayment before the end of 2021.
As each company is only permitted one loan under the CARES Act, there is a possibility the loan may be called by the SBA and the Company would have to repay the loan in full at such time.

On May 4, 2020, Jerrick Ventures, LLC (“Jerrick Ventures”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, was granted a loan from PNC Bank, N.A. with a principal amount of $412,500, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”).

The Company has applied ASC 815, due to the potential for settlement in a variable quantity of shares. The make-whole feature of gave rise to a derivative liability of $504,413, of which $501,118 was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt and $3,295 as a debt discount. The debt discount is being accreted over the life of the note to accretion of debt discount and issuance cost. The derivative liability is marked to market as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, and the change in derivative liability is recorded on Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. See note 8.
During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 the Company accrued interest of ~~$57.~~$114.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 the Company paid ~~$20,082~~$72,328 for living expenses for officers of the Company.

Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities
The Company has identified derivative instruments arising from a make-whole feature in the Company’s notes payable at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. For the terms of the make-whole features see the September 2020 Rosen Loan Agreement and the September 2020 Goldberg Loan Agreement in Note 7. The Company has also identified derivative instruments arising from convertible notes that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares in the Company’s convertible notes payable at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. For the terms of the conversion features see Note 7. The Company had no derivative assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.
24
The Company ~~utilized~~utilizes a ~~Geometric Brownian Motion (“GBM”)~~Monte Carlo simulation model for the make whole feature and a binomial option model for convertible notes that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The inputs utilized in the application of the ~~GBM model and binomial~~Monte Carlo model included a starting stock price, an expected term of each debenture remaining from the valuation date to maturity, an estimated volatility, drift, and a risk-free rate. The inputs utilized in the application of the Binomial model included a stock price on valuation date, an expected term of each debenture remaining from the valuation date to maturity, an estimated volatility, and a risk-free rate. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Risk-free interest rate: The Company uses the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Note adjusted to be on a continuous return basis to align with the ~~GBM~~Monte Carlo simulation model and binomial model.
Dividend yield: The Company uses a 0% expected dividend yield as the Company has not paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends in the near future.
Volatility: The Company calculates the expected volatility based on the company’s historical stock prices with a look back period commensurate with the period to maturity.
Expected term: The Company’s remaining term is based on the remaining contractual maturity of the convertible notes.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies
The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carry back net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.
In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2020.
On March 26, 2020 and April 30, 2020, the Company received 2 separate loans pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act.
When the applications for PPP first opened up, there was limited available funding and much confusion surrounding the application process. The Company initially submitted its application for the May 2020 PPP Loan in early April but received no response in the aftermath of submitting the application. After consulting multiple advisors, the Company made the decision to apply elsewhere, due to the rampant media coverage of institutions running out of funding and the Company’s need for the capital and belief that if 2 separate loans were approved, the remaining application could simply be withdrawn.
28
Therefore, in late April, the company proceeded with applying for the April 2020 PPP Loan. After some conflicting communications regarding acceptance, the Company attempted to contact the lender to clarify but got no response. After continued attempts to follow up with both lenders, the Company received approval for the May 2020 PPP Loan and funding for the April 2020 PPP Loan on the same day, followed the next day by the funding of the May 2020 PPP Loan. The Company immediately separated the funds for the April 2020 PPP Loan into a separate reserved bank account with the intention of returning the funds. However, after several attempts to contact the lender with no response, the Company was faced with difficulty raising funds in the early-Covid economy and made the decision to utilize the funds for operations and pursue an installment repayment plan when they were able to reach the lender. As of the date of this filing, the Company has begun making repayments on the loan, absent a formal installment agreement due to difficulties reaching the lender. The Company intends to complete repayment before the end of 2021.
As each company is only permitted one loan under the CARES Act, there is a possibility the loan may be called by the SBA and the Company would have to repay the loan in full at such time.
As of June 30, 2021, the May 2020 PPP Loan is no longer outstanding, as during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repaid $136,597 in principal and was forgiven $275,903 of principal and $3,119 of accrued interest. As of June 30, 2021 there was $255,426 in principal outstanding on the April 2020 PPP Loan.

Litigation
On or about June 25, 2020, Home Revolution, LLC (“Home Revolution”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Home Revolution, LLC, et al. v. Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. et al., Case No. 2:20-cv-07775-JMV-MF. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that Creatd, Inc. breached the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, as modified, and ancillary transaction documents in connection with the acquisition of Seller’s Choice, LLC, from Home Revolution in September 2019. The Complaint additionally alleges violation of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, violations of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, fraud, equitable accounting, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment. After filing the Complaint but prior to our Answer date, Home Revolution moved by order to show cause to have a receiver appointed by the Court to take over Creatd’s operations.
We submitted an opposition, and after oral arguments on August 13, 2020, the Court denied the receiver request in its entirety. We then filed a Motion to Dismiss on August 14, 2020 on a number of grounds, the most significant of which is that this is a simple (alleged) breach of Promissory Note case. Creatd is current on all payments under the Note, and because both parties are New Jersey entities a mere breach of contract and/or collection-based case is not appropriately venued in federal court. Upon receipt of our Motion to Dismiss, Home Revolution submitted an Amended Complaint, presumably in an effort to cure the problems with the Complaint which we identified in the Motion to Dismiss. Home Revolution has subsequently initiated a series of atypical procedures and, as a result, has (without following the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) moved for both default and to submit yet another newly Amended Complaint (the one precludes the other and vice versa).
After we submitted a motion to clear up the above, the Court reinstated the matter to the docket and permitted Plaintiff to file the Second Amended Complaint (we had no objection). We have filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. That will take some time to be decided. We expect no major event to occur for the next 12 months. Finally, we believe the lawsuit lacks merit and will vigorously challenge the action.

The year-over-year increase in quarterly revenue is attributable to the steady growth of Vocal+ ~~Creator Subscriptions~~memberships as well as growth in the Company’s agency businesses, Vocal for Brands and Seller’s Choice, which have experienced an acceleration in revenues.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, were ~~$6,689,910~~$9,351,652 as compared to ~~$2,119,091~~$3,857,792 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. The increase of ~~$4,570,819~~$5,493,860 in operating expenses is mainly related to a ~~$993,000 increase in personnel compensation, as a result of the Company’s significantly increasing employee headcount; a $1.6~~$3.8 million increase in marketing expenditure. The vast majority of the over $4 million in marketing went toward significant research, development, and experimentation utilizing our internal data to generate a lower creator acquisition cost, resulting in significant Vocal+ membership growth, with the Company ending the quarter having achieved a new milestone of over 30,000 Vocal+ members. We expect marketing expenditure ~~which will be actively managed~~ to ~~achieve optimum return on investment; $1.5~~significantly decrease in future quarters, beginning in Q3 2021, as the Company moves from a research and development phase into an execution phase with its newly refined marketing strategy.
Additionally, the increased operating expenses during the quarter are partially attributable to a $1.3 million increase in compensation, including a $338,000 increase in stock-based compensation to ~~employees~~consultants, directors, and ~~consultants, as well as incentive-based options issued to~~ employees. Given the Company’s current cash level and its near completion of its current acquisition pipeline, the Company should see a significant reduction in its financing-related expenditures and other transaction-related fees in upcoming quarters.

Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, was ~~$(5,945,997)~~$8,380,795 as compared to ~~$(1,825,949)~~$3,535,252 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. The increase in the loss from operations this quarter primarily reflects an increase in marketing ~~due to the launch of a significant marketing campaign,~~ and redundancies in new staff members and outsourced costs that will be eliminated over time. Going forward, the Company expects the loss from operations to ~~return~~decrease to ~~base~~ levels that reflect these eliminations, as well as a reduction in marketing expenditures.
35
Other Income and Expenses
Other ~~income and~~ expenses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, was ~~$697,240~~$181,681 as compared to ~~$1,160,048~~$606,739 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020. The decrease in ~~first~~second quarter 2021 other expenses was predominantly due to a gain on ~~extinguishment~~forgiveness of debt of ~~$738,618~~$279,022 related to the forgiveness of the May 2020 PPP Loan, and a reduction in interest expense. This was offset by an increase in derivative expense, change in fair value of derivative liability, and accretion of debt discount and issuance cost.
Net Loss
Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, was ~~$6,643,237,~~$8,972,794, or loss per share of ~~$0.68,~~$0.81, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of ~~$2,985,997,~~$4,141,991, or loss per share of ~~$0.96,~~$1.30, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020.

The increase of $10,064,679 in operating expenses is mainly related to a $5.4 million increase in marketing expenditure. The increased marketing expenditure went toward significant research, development, and experimentation utilizing our internal data to generate a lower creator acquisition cost, resulting in significant Vocal+ membership growth, with the Company ending the second quarter 2021 having achieved a new milestone of over 30,000 Vocal+ members. We expect marketing expenditure to significantly decrease in future quarters, beginning in Q3 2021, as the Company moves from a research and development phase into an execution phase with its newly refined marketing strategy.
Additionally, the increased operating expenses during this six-month period are partially attributable to and a $3.9 million increase in compensation, including a $2 million increase in stock-based compensation to consultants, directors, and employees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the ~~Condensed Consolidated~~ Financial Statements. During the three and six months ~~ending March 31,~~ended June 30, 2021, we were not required to make any material estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. However, if we complete an acquisition, we will be required to make estimates and assumptions typical of other companies. For example, we will be required to make critical accounting estimates related to valuation and accounting for business combinations. The estimates will require us to rely upon assumptions that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and changes in them are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements in the future. Our estimates will be based on our experience and our interpretation of economic, political, regulatory, and other factors that affect our business prospects. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. For detailed information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2020. For details on the Company’s interest rate, foreign currency exchange, and credit risks, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risks” in our 2020 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, during ~~first~~second quarter 2021, the Company continued the complete review of all of its financial procedures and controls that was requisitioned and begun during 2020 and is continuing the process of updating and optimizing its infrastructure around these controls. ~~The~~This review is ongoing, and the Company believes that this process will positively affect our internal control over financial reporting in the future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
On June 25, 2020, Home Revolution, LLC (“Home Revolution”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Court”), entitled Home Revolution, LLC, et al v. Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. et al, Case No. 2:20-cv-07775-JMV-MF (the “Action”). The complaint for the lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Company breached the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, as modified, and ancillary transaction documents in connection with the acquisition of Seller’s Choice, LLC, from Home Revolution in September 2019. The complaint additionally alleges violation of the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, violations of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, fraud, equitable accounting, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment.
The Company continues to believe that the Action lacks merit. In the event this Action is not summarily dismissed, the Company intends to vigorously challenge it. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate potential damage exposure, if any, related to the litigation.
~~In addition to the existing claim for damages contained in~~ After filing the Complaint ~~on July 29, 2020,~~but prior to our Answer date, Home Revolution moved by order to show cause ~~for preliminary injunctive relief. On~~to have a receiver appointed by the Court to take over Creatd’s operations.
We submitted an opposition, and after oral arguments on August 13, 2020, the Court denied the receiver request in its entirety. We then filed a Motion to Dismiss on August 14, 2020, on a number of grounds, the most significant of which is that this is a simple (alleged) breach of Promissory Note case. Creatd is current on all payments under the Note, and because both parties are New Jersey entities a mere breach of contract and/or collection-based case is not appropriately venued in federal court. Upon receipt of our Motion to Dismiss, Home ~~Revolution’s request~~Revolution submitted an Amended Complaint, presumably in an effort to cure the problems with the Complaint which we identified in the Motion to Dismiss. Home Revolution has subsequently initiated a series of atypical procedures and, as a result, has (without following the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) moved for both default and to submit yet another newly Amended Complaint (the one precludes the other and vice versa).
After we submitted a ~~preliminary injunction.~~motion to clear up the above, the Court reinstated the matter to the docket and permitted Plaintiff to file the Second Amended Complaint (we had no objection). We have filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. That will take some time to be decided. We expect no major event to occur for the next 12 months. Finally, we believe the lawsuit lacks merit and will vigorously challenge the action.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results.
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we issued securities that were not registered under the Securities Act and were not previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as listed below. All of the securities discussed in this Item 2 were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
~~Employee Options~~Board Issuances
