NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.POLICIES.


Organization and Nature of Operations


Bright Mountain Media, Inc. (the “Company” or “Bright Mountain” or “We”) is a Florida corporation formed on May 20, 2010. Its wholly owned subsidiaries,subsidiary, Bright Mountain LLC, and The Bright Insurance Agency, LLC, were formed as Florida limited liability companies in May 2011. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Bright Watches, LLC, was formed as a Florida limited liability company in December 2015, andMay 2011. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Bright Mountain, LLC (“BMLLC”) F/K/A Daily Engage Media Group, LLC (“Daily Engage Media”Engage”) was formed as a New Jersey limited liability company in February 2015. In August 2019, Bright Mountain Israel Acquisition, an Israeli company was formed and acquired the wholly owned subsidiary Slutzky & Winshman Ltd. (“S&W”) which then changed its name to Oceanside Media LLC (“Oceanside”). Further, on November 18, 2019, Bright Mountain, through its wholly owned subsidiary BMTM2, Inc., a Florida corporation, acquired News Distribution Network, Inc. (“NDN”), a Delaware company, which then changed its name to MediaHouse, Inc. (“MediaHouse”). On June 1, 2020, Bright Mountain acquired the wholly owned subsidiary CL Media Holdings, LLC D/B/A “Wild Sky Media” (“Wild Sky”). When used herein, the terms "BMTM, "“BMTM, the "Company," "we," "us," "our"“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or "Bright Mountain"“Bright Mountain” refers to Bright Mountain Media, Inc. and its subsidiaries.


The Company is engaged in operating a proprietary, end-to-end digital media holding companyand advertising services platform designed to connect brand advertisers with demographically-targeted consumers – both large audiences and more granular segments – across digital, social and connected television (CTV) publishing formats. We define “end-to-end” as our process for taking ad buying from beginning to end, delivering a complete functional solution, usually without requiring any involvement from a third party.

Through acquisitions and organic software development initiatives, we have consolidated and plan to further condense key elements of the prevailing digital advertising supply chain through the elimination of industry “middlemen” and/or costly redundancy of services via our ad exchange network. Our aim is to enable and support a streamlined, end-to-end advertising model that addresses both demand (ad buy side) and supply (media sell side) for both direct sales teams and programmatic sales and publishing of digital advertisements that reach specific target audiences based on what, where, when and how that specific target audience elects to access certain web and/or streaming video content. Programmatic advertising relies on computer programs to use data and proprietary algorithms to select which ads to buy and for what price, while direct sales involve traditional interpersonal contact between ad buyers and advertising sales representative(s).

By selling advertisements on our current portfolio of 20 owned and operated websites and 13 CTV apps, coupled with acquisition or development of other niche web properties in the future, we are building depth in specific demographic verticals that allow us to package audiences into targeted consumer categories valued by advertisers.

Oceanside provides digital performance-based marketing services to customers which include primarily advertisers and advertising agencies that promote or sell products and/or services to consumers through digital media.

MediaHouse partners with content producers and online assets targetingnews market websites to distribute video and servicingbanner advertisements throughout the military and public safety markets. The CompanyUnited States of America (“U.S.”).

Coupled with its recently acquired wholly ownedhas become a wholly-owned subsidiary Daily Engage Media, the Company has evolved to place its emphasis on providing quality content on its websites to drive traffic increases so that it can monetize these visits through advertising revenue. We generate revenues from two segments, product sales and advertising. The advertising segment consists primarily of advertising revenue and a small amount of subscription and service revenue.


On December 16, 2016, with an effective date of December 15, 2016, under the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the assets, constituting the Black Helmet Apparel business (“Black Helmet Apparel”), from Sostre Enterprises, Inc. Assets acquired included various website properties and content, social media content, inventory and other intellectual property rights. The Black Helmet Apparel line of apparel features clothing and accessories focused on first responders.


On September 19, 2017, under the terms of an Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Daily Engage Media, and its members, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Daily Engage Media.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation


The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactionsaccounts and balancestransactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Use of Estimates


Ourthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements arefor the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally AcceptedU.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on June 13, 2022. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). These accounting principles requireThe Company recognizes revenues at a point-in-time when control of services is transferred to the customer. Cash received by the Company prior to when control of services is transferred to the customer is recorded as deferred revenue.

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the advertising services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the advertising services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised advertising service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation based on relative fair values, when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company recognizes revenue from its own advertising platform, ad network partners and websites (“Ad Network”) through its publishing advertiser impressions and pay-for-click services, the Company’s owned and operated sites, our ad network, or platforms. Invalid traffic on the Ad Network may impact the amount collected and adjusted by our Ad Network.

The Company has one revenue stream generated directly from publishing advertisements, whether on the Company’s owned and operated sites, our ad network, or platforms. The revenue is earned when the website visitors view or click the published website advertisements. Specific revenue recognition criteria for the advertising revenue stream is as follows:

Advertising revenues are generated by website visitors viewing or “clicking” on website advertisements utilizing direct-sold campaigns or several ad network partners.
Revenues are recognized net of adjustments based on the traffic generated and is billed monthly. The Company subsequently settles these transactions with publishers at which time adjustments for invalid traffic may impact the amount collected.

There are no significant initial costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers, and no contract assets or contract liabilities recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Leases

The Company records leases in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease terms. Since the Company’s lease agreements does not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as operating costs and property taxes are expensed as incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Our condensed consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management'smanagement’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management'smanagement’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

Significant estimates included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, the fair value of acquired assets for purchase price allocation in business combinations, valuation of inventory, valuation ofgoodwill and intangible assets, estimates of amortization period for intangible assets, estimates of depreciation period for fixed assets, the valuation of equity-based transactions, and the valuation of equity based transactions.allowance on deferred tax assets.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued).


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are all maintained in bank accounts in the U.S. and other foreign countries in which the Company operates. Cash maintained in bank accounts outside of the U.S. is not significant. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $575,281 and $781,320, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.


Credit Risk

The Company maintains certain of its cash balances in various U.S. banks, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts. In addition, the Company maintains various bank accounts in Thailand and Israel, which are not insured. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2021, we have not incurred material losses on these uninsured accounts. The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk associated with its cash by maintaining its cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its trade accounts receivable customers and generally does not require collateral.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements


FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.


We adopted accounting guidance for financialfair values measurements and non-financial assets and liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost)disclosures (ASC 820). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:


Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

active; and

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.


Financial instruments recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, note receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and premium finance loan payable. The Company believes that the carrying value of its current financial instruments approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt to related parties and long-term debt to others approximates the current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Notes Payable and related potential liabilities are excluded from the balance sheet when there are significant uncertainties associated with the likelihood that the liabilities will be paid in full or until such time that the amount of the liability can be reasonably determined or estimated. There are no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable represent receivables from customers in the ordinary course of business. These are recorded at fair valueinvoice amount on the date revenue is recognized. Receivables are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to repay their obligation. If the financial condition of the Company'sCompany’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay, additional allowances may be required. The Company provides for potential uncollectible accounts receivable based on specific customer identification and historical collection experience adjusted for existing market conditions. If market conditions decline, actual collection experience may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flows and increased bad debt expense. The Company is also subject to adjustments from traffic settlements that are deducted from open invoices.


The policy for determining past due status is based on the contractual payment terms of each customer, which are generally net 6030 or net 9060 days. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $767,395 and $495,396, respectively.

Inventories


Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Provisions have been made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued).


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue on our products in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized on sales transactions when all of the following exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement did exist; delivery of the product or advertising has occurred; the sales price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company has several revenue streams generated directly from its website and specific revenue recognition criteria for each revenue stream is as follows:


·

Sale of merchandise directly to consumers: The Company's product sales are recognized either FOB shipping point or FOB destination, dependent on the customer. Revenues are therefore recognized at point of ownership transfer, accordingly;

·

Advertising revenue is received directly form companies who pay the Company a monthly fee for advertising space and;

·

Advertising revenues are generated by users “clicking” on website advertisements utilizing several ad network partners. Revenues are recognized net of their fees for Company owned websites upon receipt of payment by the ad network partner since the revenue is not determinable until it is received; and


The Company follows the guidance of ASC 605-50-25, “Revenue Recognition, Customer Payments.” Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products included in inventories. Promotional products or samples given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of goods sold.


Our Daily Engage Media subsidiary is an Advertising Exchange Company that matches advertisers with publishers. Revenue is generated and recognized when ads appear and are viewed on websites in the Company’s portfolio.


Cost of Sales and Cost of Revenues


Components of costs of sales for the products segment include product costs, shipping costs to customers and any inventory adjustments for product sales. Cost of revenue for the advertising segment consists of revenue share payments to media providers and website publishers that are directly related to a revenue-generating event. The Company becomes obligated to make the revenue share payments in the period the advertising impressions, click-throughs, actions or lead-based information are delivered or occur.


Shipping and Handling Costs


The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues and shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers as cost of revenues.


Sales Return Reserve Policy


Our return policy generally allows our end users to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products. We estimate a reserve for sales returns, if any, and record that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability. Sales to consumers on our web site generally may be returned within a reasonable period of time.


Product Warranty Reserve Policy


The Company is a retail distributor of products and warranties are the responsibility of the manufacturer. Therefore, the Company does not record a reserve for product warranty


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment isare recorded at cost.cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets of five to seven years for office furniture and equipment, and five years for computer equipment.assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs along with fixed assets with a purchase price below our capitalization threshold of $500 are expensed as incurred.

Website Development Costs


The Company accounts for its website development costs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350-50, Website Development Costs” (“ASC 350-50”). These costs, if any, are included in intangible assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements or expensed immediately if the Company cannot support recovery of these costs from positive future cash flows.


ASC 350-50 requires the expensing of all costs of the preliminary project stage and the training and application maintenance stage and the capitalization of all internal or external direct costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage.balance sheets. Upgrades or enhancements that add functionality are capitalized while other costs during the operating stage are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes the capitalized website development costs over an estimated life of five years.


As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,December 31, 2021, all website development costs have been expensed.


Amortization and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Amortization and impairment of long-lived assets are non-cash expenses relating primarily to intangible assets. The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.


Website acquisition costs, including related customer relationships and non-compete agreements, are amortized over three to five years. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. While it is likely that we will have significant amortization expense as we continue to acquire websites, we believe that intangible assets represent costs incurred by the acquired website to build value prior to acquisition and the related amortization and impairment charges of assets, if applicable, are not ongoing costs of doing business. Non-cash amortization loss

Amortization and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is included in selling, general and administrative expensesmeasured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management’s estimates, depending upon the accompanying statementnature of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, non-cash amortization expense was $75,876 and $61,582, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, non-cash amortization expense was $227,418 and $186,007, respectively.assets.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock-basedshare-based compensation related to instruments issued to employees and non-employees under GAAP, which requires the measurement and recognition compensation costs for services in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-dateall equity-based payment awards based on estimated fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees.values. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The Company estimates the fair value of stock options by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Income Taxes


We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized.


The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10“Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.Taxes – Overall (“ASC 740-10”). When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statementsin the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will besustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.

There was one customer who accounted for approximately 24.3% of the revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022. No other customer was over 10% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022. There was only one customer which accounted for greater than 10% of the revenue with approximately 11.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, at 24.3%.

Credit Risk

The Company maintains certain of its cash balances in various U.S. banks, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts. In addition, the Company maintains various bank accounts in Thailand, which are not insured. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we have not incurred material losses on these uninsured accounts. The Company minimizes the concentration of credit risk associated with its cash by maintaining its cash with high quality federally insured financial institutions. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its trade accounts receivable customers and generally does not require collateral.

Concentration of Funding

Historically, the Company had a large portion of the funding provided through the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock with related warrants; however, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 no funding through the sale of shares occurred.

Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share


In accordance with ASC 260-10 “Earnings Per Share,”(loss) per share is calculated and reported under the “two-class” method. The “two-class” method is an earnings allocation method under which earnings per share is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security considering both dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. The Company has convertible preferred stock which have a right to participate in dividends; these are deemed to be participating securities. During periods of loss, there is no allocation required under the two-class method since the participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to fund the losses of the Company.

When applicable, basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computedcalculated by dividing the net income, after deducting dividends on convertible preferred stock and participating securities as well as undistributed earnings (loss) for the periodallocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed usingis calculated in a similar manner after consideration of the weightedpotential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents on the average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were approximately 2,187,000 and 2,267,000 common stock equivalent shares outstanding as stock options, respectively, 600,000 and 100,000 commonCommon stock equivalents from the conversion of preferredinclude warrants and stock respectively, and 4,300,000 and 200,000 commonoptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35 "Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts." The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. Early application was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.


In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments in this ASU do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of this Update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method.For public business entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.The adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases,” which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued).


In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-9 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.


In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10“Revenue from Contract with Customers(ASC 606):Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.”The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASC 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of ASC 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. ASC 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with ASC 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,“Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”ASU 2016- provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.


In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-04,Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. Instead, under this pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognizedDilution is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered if applicable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN.


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Segment Information

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,928,787 at September 30, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.currently operates in one reporting segment. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from related parties to sustain its current level of operations.

Management plans to continue to raise additional capital through private placements and is exploring additional avenues for future fund-raising through both public and private sources.


The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating 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 3 – ACQUISITIONS.


On January 2, 2016, the Company closed the acquisition of warisboring.com pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Website Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 4, 2015 for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $100,000 at the January 4, 2016 closing and the balance of $150,000, payable monthly in an amount equal to 30% of the net revenues from the website, when collected, with the total amount of the earn out to be paid by January 4, 2019. The Company recorded the future monthly payments totaling $150,000 at a present value of $117,268, net of discount of $32,732. The present value was calculated at a discount rate of 12% (which is the Company’s then most recent borrowing rate) using the estimated future revenues from the website to estimate the payment dates. The estimated future revenues from the website were based on the average historical monthly revenues from the website prior to the Company’s acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company amortized $8,183 and $8,184, respectively, of this discount. The acquisition was accounted following ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Under the purchase method of accounting, the transaction was valued for accounting purposes at $217,268, which was the fair value of warisboring.com. The Company has initially determined there was only two amortizable intangible assets. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

The above estimated fair value of the intangible assets is based on a preliminary purchase price allocation prepared by management. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the asset acquired, with the corresponding offset to website. After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined. In the year following this transaction, we did not record any adjustments to our initial allocations.


On February 2, 2016, the Company entered into a Website Asset Purchase Agreement with unrelated third parties for a purchase price of $15,000 in cash. The acquisition was accounted for following ASC805 "Business Combinations." The operations of the website prior to the Company's acquisition were immaterial; therefore, pro forma information was not presented. There were no costs of acquisition incurred as a result of this purchase.


On December 16, 2016, with an effective date of December 15, 2016 under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we acquired the assets constituting the Black Helmet Apparel business from Sostre Enterprises, Inc., including various website properties and content, social media content, inventory and other intellectual property rights. The consideration for the acquisition consisted of $250,000 in cash, 200,000 shares of our common stock valued at $170,000, the assumption of $40,000 in liabilities and the forgiveness of working capital advances we had previously made to the seller totaling $200,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13 (amended by ASU 2019-10), “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, regarding the measurement of credit losses for certain financial instruments.” which replaces the incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The followingCECL model is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company is required to adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04 (amended by ASU 2019-10), “Intangibles – Goodwill and other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” Which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing the second step of the test. There is a one-step qualitative test and does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The new standard is effective January 1, 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s 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)”. The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The FASB reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock instruments and made certain disclosure amendments to improve the information represents segment activity forprovided to users. The new standard is effective January 1, 2024 (early adoption is permitted, but not earlier than January 1, 2021).

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. This accounting standards update provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This new guidance may be adopted by the Company no later than December 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The potential adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and if triggering events are noted prior to the annual assessment. Impairment is deemed to occur when the carrying value of the Goodwill associated with the reporting unit exceeds the implied value of the Goodwill associated with the reporting unit. The periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 have been marked by the COVID-19 global pandemic when many companies in various industries were forced to restructure their advertising budgets and spending. This is evidenced by the reduced revenues from our customers in comparison with the 2019 year. The fair value of the respective reporting units was determined based on both the Income Approach (Discount Cash Flows) and the Market Multiples Approach.

In 2020, Synacor, Inc commenced an action against MediaHouse, LLC, Inform, Inc. and the Company, alleging approximately $230,000 was owed based on invoices provided in 2019 in respect to that certain Content Provider & Advertising Agreement with MediaHouse. The Company has filed an answer and defenses and intends to defend the alleged claims. This is recorded as an accrued liability as of December 31, 2021. During January 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement related to the legal proceeding with Synacor. The agreement obligates the Company to pay $12,000 per month beginning January 24, 2022 for 12 consecutive months and then a final one-time payment in the amount of $40,000 to be paid on or before January 24, 2023.

A former employee of the Company filed a suit against the Company MediaHouse, Inc., and Gregory A. Peters, a former Executive, (the “Defendants”) alleging two counts of defamation. Any potential losses associated with this matter cannot be estimated at this time.

Bright Mountain has been sued by plaintiffs Joey Winshman, Eli Desatnik and Nadav Slutzy (“Plaintiffs”) in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on December 17, 2021 (the “Lawsuit”). Plaintiffs allege that BMM defaulted on its obligations to Plaintiffs under three promissory notes that arose from the merger between Bright Mountain Israel Acquisition Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bright Mountain, and Slutzky & Winshman Ltd. Plaintiffs seek to recover from Bright Mountain the principal balance of the promissory notes, interest, attorney’s fees, and costs.

Encoding.com, Inc. (“Encoding”) was a former digital media customer of MediaHouse. Encoding had a long overdue outstanding receivable from MediaHouse’s predecessor company, Inform, Inc. MediaHouse did not assume the liability at acquisition. In 2020, the Company and Encoding agreed to settle the overdue receivable through the issuance of 175,000 warrants to purchase Company stock with a $1.00 exercise price. This was recorded as an accrued liability as of December 31, 2020 and the warrants were issued in 2021.

Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on our company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

On March 22, 2016 the Company granted 46,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.695 per share to a director. The aggregate fair value of these options was computed at $18,354 or $0.3990 per option.

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates.


The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors, which is subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense on a straight-linestraight- line basis over the requisite service period for each award.

The expected volatility is based on an average of similar public company’s historical volatility.volatility as the Company’s stock has limited trading volume history. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related option at the time of the grant.

Non-GAAP financial measure

We report adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This measure is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our business, on which our internal budgets are based. We believe that investors have access to, and we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be specifically targetedconsidered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and description of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items to derive the non-GAAP measure. We encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure.

Our adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income/loss excluding:

non-cash stock option compensation expense;
depreciation;
equity raise expenses;
professional fees;
acquisition-related items consisting of amortization expense and impairment expense;
interest; and
amortization on debt discount.

We believe this measure is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows a more meaningful year-to-year comparison of our performance. Moreover, our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business as a whole. The above items are excluded from adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, and we believe that by excluding these items, adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the cash operating income/loss generated from our business. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our niche demographics.statement of operations and comprehensive loss of certain expenses.

Liquidity and capital resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to fully implementgenerate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. The following table summarized total current assets, total current liabilities and working (deficit) at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021.

Net working deficit $(10,152,144) $(17,812,207)

As we continue our efforts to grow our business, we expect that our monthly cash operating overhead will continue to increase as we add personnel, although at a lesser rate, and we are not able at this strategytime to quantify the amount of this expected increase. During 2021, we implemented policies and launchprocedures around cash collections to prevent the aging of accounts receivables that we experienced in 2020. Cash collection efforts have been successful, and we feel that we have appropriately reserved for uncollectible amounts at March 31, 2022.

During February and March 2021, the Company received two loans with proceeds totaling $1,137,140 (the “PPP Loans”) under the second tranche of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Second Bright Mountain Media Ad Networkand Second Wild Sky PPP Loans are evidenced by promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) with Regions Bank and Holcomb Bank, respectively, and have a two-year term and bear interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loans may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Promissory Note contains customary events of default provisions. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. On March 23, 2022, the Company obtained PPP forgiveness for the second Wild Sky loan totaling $841,540. No assurance is dependent upon our ability to raise additional sufficient capital. Historically we have been dependent upon loans and equity purchasesprovided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Second Bright Mountain PPP Loans in whole or in part.

During January through March 31, 2022, the Company received $1.4 million in debt financing from our Chief Executive Officer and, to a lesser extent in prior years from other accredited investors, to provide sufficientCentre Lane Partners. The use of the funds to meet ourwas for general working capital needs. During May 26, 2021 and December 31, 2021, the nineCompany received $5.1 million in debt financing from Centre Lane Partners. The use of the funds was for general working capital needs.

Going concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed as of the date of the end of the period covered by this report. This determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Company used cash of approximately $1.2 million in operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 we raised $1,460,000March 31, 2022; (ii) the Company’s available cash as of working capital from our Chief Executive Officer. While we estimate that we need a minimumthe date of $1,800,000 in additional working capitalthis filing will not be sufficient to provide sufficient funds to pay our operating expenses and fund our development overits anticipated level of operations for the next 12 months, we believe that if we are successfulmonths; (iii) the anticipated revenues from Daily Engage MediaCompany will have a significant impact on our revenues and results of operations in future periods. While we have engaged a placement agent to assist us in raising capital privately on a best efforts basis, we do not have any firm commitmentsrequire additional financing for this capital and any delay in raising sufficient funds will delay the implementation of our business strategy and could adversely impact our ability to significantly increase our revenues in future periods. In addition, if we are unable to raise the necessary additional working capital, absent a significant increase in our revenues, most particularly from Daily Engage Media, of which there is no assurance, we will be unablefiscal year ending December 31, 2022 to continue at its expected level of operations; and (iv) if the Company fails to grow our company and mayobtain the needed capital, it will be forced to reduce certain operating expenses in an effortdelay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of its development activities or perhaps cease operations. In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to conserve our working capital.continue as a going concern as of the date of the end of the period covered by this report and for one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.


Going Concern


For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we reported a net loss of $(2,103,981), cash used in operating activities of $1,372,589 and we had an accumulated deficit of $(10,928,787) at September 30, 2017. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 20162021 and 20152020 and for the years then ended containscontained an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses, cash used in operations and accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful into manage our effortsworking capital deficit, or to generate revenuesmanage our cash versus liabilities, or report profitable operationsour ability to continue obtaining investment capital and loans from related parties and outside investors or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.

Revenue


Presently, we generate revenue from two segments: product salesour assets are dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital sufficient for our short-term and advertising which includes advertising revenue and subscriptions. Revenues related to product sales increased during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable period in 2016 which are attributable to our acquisition of the Black Helmet Apparel business in mid-December 2016. Sales by our Black Helmet Apparel business totaled $279,162 and $784,861 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to their pre-acquisition sales of $226,164 and $692,214 for the comparable periods in 2016, as included in our pro-forma disclosure in Note 3 – Acquisitions. While there can be no assurance, we expect a similar increase quarter-over-quarter during the fourth quarter of 2017 resulting from this acquisition.


Advertising revenues increased 16% for the third quarter of 2017 and 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 over the comparable periods in 2016 which is attributable to Daily Engage Media for the period of September 19, 2017 through September 30, 2017 following our acquisition of it in mid-September 2017. Sales by Daily Engage business totaled $1,030,476 during the first nine months of 2017 compared to their pre-acquisition sales of $435,026 for the first nine months of 2016, as included in our pro-forma disclosure in Note 3 – Acquisitions. Daily Engage Media sales totaling $32,539 for the period from the date of acquisition through September 30,2017 are included in our results for the three and nine months ended September 30,2017.  While there can be no assurance, we expect similar an increase quarter-over-quarter during the remainder of 2017 resulting from this acquisition.


Cost of Sales


Cost of sales as a percentage of product sales remained relatively steady during the third quarter 2017 and the nine months then ended compared to the comparable periods of the prior year.long-term growth plans. Historically, we did not recognize any cost of sales forhave been dependent upon debt financing and equity capital raises to provide adequate funds to meet our services segment, which has now been renamed Advertising following our acquistion of Daily Engage Media during mid-September 2017. We now incur costs of sales associated with this segment which includes revenue share payments to media providers and website publishers.






Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately 17% and approximately 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were 111% and 134% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to 169% and 171% for the comparable periods in 2016.


A significant portion of our selling, general and administrative expenses between periods was attributable to non-cash expenses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 including amortization expense attributable to intangible assets acquired and amortization of debt discounts of $227,418 and $116,863, respectively. In addition, stock options compensation expense totaled $95,821 and $107,193 in the first nine months 2017 and 2016, respectively.working capital needs. During the 2017 periods we have increased our staffing, including in connection with our acquisition of Black Helmet Apparel, which has increased our employee costs. Advertising and marketing expenses increased sharply between the periods which is attributable to our acquisition of Black Helmet Apparel business during the fourth quarter 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, advertising, marketing and promotion expense was $66,436 and $3,050, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, advertising, marketing and promotion expense was $231,669 and $15,156, respectively. The business modelMarch 31, 2022, we raised $1,400,000 of debt financing (see Note 13 Related Parties for Black Helmet Apparel relies heavily on on-line promotion of products offered. We anticipate these quarter-over-quarter increasesmore information).

While we have engaged a placement agent to continue as the Company focuses on expanding the Black Helmet Apparel customer base and promoting anticipated newly introduced products.


Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to continue to increaseassist us in a controlled manor as we execute our planned growth strategy of increasing website visits both organically and through targeted acquisitions and providing the needed administrative support for the increased level of activities. Subject to the availability of additional workingraising capital, the Company also intends to add administrative staff to its accounting department to improve controls over its accounting and reporting processes.

Total other income (expense)


Total other income (expense) primarily reflects interest expense associated with our borrowings under a non-convertible and several convertible notes. Our Chief Executive Officer loaned the Company an additional $1,460,000 during the first nine months 2017 under a series of 6% to 12% convertible notes bringing the total notes payable to him at September 30, 2017 to $1,147,145 net of the related note discount. Interest under these notes totaled $95,478 and $220,610, inclusive of $49,597 and $116,863 in amortization of the related debt discount, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, the Company recorded interest of $23,611 and $39,236 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017placement agent is acting on a $500,000 25% note payable issuedbest-efforts basis and there are no assurances we will be successful in November 2016 which maturesraising additional capital during 2022 through the sale of our securities. Any delay in November 2017. On September 30, 2017,raising sufficient funds will delay the note was amended, extending the maturity to December 31, 2017 and reducing the interest rate at 10.0%.


Non-GAAP financial measure


We report adjusted net (loss) to measure our overall results because we believe it better reflects our net results by excluding the impact of non-cash equity based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our operations by excluding interest and certain additional non-cash expenses. These measures are one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performanceimplementation of our business on whichstrategy and could adversely impact our internal budgets are based. We believe the presentation of adjusted net (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA enhancesability to significantly increase our investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of our business.


We believe that investors have access to the same set of tools that we userevenues in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.


We believe these measures are useful for analysts and investors as the measures allows a more meaningful year-to-year comparison of our performance. The items below are excluded from the Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, and we believe that by excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA corresponds more closely to the cash operating income/loss generated from our business. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our statement of operations of certain expenses.

Liquidity and capital resources


Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. As of September 30, 2017 the Company had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $123,292 and working capital of $148,963 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $162,795 and working capital of $355,344 at December 31, 2016. Our current assets decreased 11% at September 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016 which reflects the decrease in cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and inventories. Our current liabilities increased 26.7% at September 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016 which primarily reflects a decrease in accounts payable and premium finance loan payable, offset by increases in accrued interest, including to a related party, and notes payable. We do not have any external sources of liquidity and are dependent upon loans from our Chief Executive Officer as described elsewhere herein.future periods. In addition, to the amounts owed Mr. Speyer, in November 2016 we borrowed $500,000 from an unrelated third party under a promissory note which matures in November 2017. On September 30, 2017, the note was amended, extending the maturity to December 31, 2017 and reducing the interest rate at 10.0%. Presently, we do not have sufficient funds to satisfy this unsecured obligation when it becomes due.


Our operations do not provide sufficient cash to pay our cash operating expenses. Ifif we are unable to raise the necessary additional working capital, absent a significant increase in our revenues, to a levelmost particularly from our advertising segment, of which provides sufficient funds to pay our operating expenses without relying upon loans from a related party, as well as to pay our obligations as they become due, our abilitythere is no assurance, we will be unable to continue to leverage our resources and implement our plans for continued growth are in jeopardy. During 2017 and 2016 our average monthly negative cash flow was approximately $150,000. As we continue our efforts to grow our business we expect thatcompany and may be forced to reduce certain operating expenses to conserve our monthlyworking capital.

Critical accounting policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.


Recent accounting pronouncements


The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies as described in Note 13 appearing earlier in this report that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.


All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.


Off balance sheet arrangements


As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.


ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.


ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on theirhis evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.


We have implemented changes and will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have added to our accounting and administrative staff allowing improved internal control over financial reporting.
