SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Impact of COVID-19
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization
announced a global health emergency because of the spread of a new strain of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). On March
11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, a global pandemic. COVID-19 has and continues to significantly
affect the United States and global economies.
The Company has experienced significant disruptions
to its business and operations due to circumstances related to COVID-19, and delays caused government-imposed quarantines, office closings
and travel restrictions, which affect both the Company’s and its service providers. The Company has significant operations in Manila,
Philippines, which was locked down by the government on March 12, 2020 due to concerns related to the spread of COVID-19. As a result
of the Philippines government’s call to contain COVID-19, the Company’s animation studio, located in Manila, Philippines,
which accounts for approximately 90% of the Company’s total revenues on a consolidated basis, has been mostly closed.
In response to the outbreak and business disruption,
the Company has instituted employee safety protocols to contain the spread, including domestic and international travel restrictions,
work-from-home practices, extensive cleaning protocols, social distancing and various temporary closures of its administrative offices
and production studio. The Company has implemented a range of actions aimed at temporarily reducing costs and preserving liquidity.
The outbreak has and may continue to spread, which
could materially impact the Company’s business. The full extent of potential impacts on the Company’s business, financing
activities and the global economy will depend on future developments, which cannot be predicted due to the uncertain nature of the continued
COVID-19 pandemic, government mandated shut downs, and its adverse effects, including new information which may emerge concerning the
severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. These effects could have a material adverse
impact on the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and results of operations.
Management’s Representation of Interim
Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations,
and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated
financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial
position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative
of results for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto at December 31, 2020, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April
13, 2021 with the SEC.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements
of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and are expressed in United States dollars. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Grom
Social, TD Holdings, GES, and GNS. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and inventories,
purchase price allocation of acquired businesses, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of financial instruments, income
taxes, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results
of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU
2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance provided
in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 ("ASC 606") requires entities to use a five-step model to
recognize revenue by allocating the consideration from contracts to performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis.
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that
the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires new disclosures regarding the nature,
amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASC 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other
Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract
with a customer.
Animation Revenue
For the
six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a total of $2,990,213 and $2,687,614, respectively, of animation revenue
from contracts with customers.
Animation revenue is primarily generated from
contracts with customers for preproduction and production services related to the development of animated movies and television series.
Preproduction activities include producing storyboards, location design, model and props design, background color and color styling. Production
focuses on library creation, digital asset management, background layout scene assembly, posing, animation and aftereffects. The Company
provides services under fixed-price contracts. Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined
price. To the extent actual costs vary from estimated costs, the Company’s profit may increase, decrease, or result in a loss.
The Company identifies a contract under ASC 606
once (i) it is approved by all parties, (ii) the rights of the parties are identified, (iii) the payment terms are identified, (iv) the
contract has commercial substance, and (v) collectability of consideration is probable.
The Company evaluates the services promised in
each contract at inception to determine whether the contract should be accounted for as having one or more performance obligations. The
services in the Company’s contracts are distinct from one another as the referring parties typically can direct all, limited, or
single portions of the various preproduction and production activities required to create and design and entire episode to us and we therefore
have a history of developing standalone selling prices for all of these distinct components. Accordingly, our contracts are typically
accounted for as containing multiple performance obligations.
The Company determines the transaction price for
each contract based on the consideration it expects to receive for the distinct services being provided under the contract.
The Company recognizes revenue as performance
obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of the services. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied,
the Company considers factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative future use of the product or service.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized over time as it performs under the contract due to the contractual terms
present in each contract which irrevocably transfer control of the work product to the customer as the services are performed.
For performance obligations recognized over time,
revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress made towards completion of the performance obligation. The Company uses the percentage-of-completion
cost-to-cost measure of progress because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer as the Company incurs costs against its
contracts. Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured
based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the performance obligation. The percentage-of-completion
cost-to-cost method requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of contract assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant
estimates relate to the total estimated amount of costs that will be incurred for a project or job.
Web Filtering Revenue
For the
six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a total of $272,748 and $349,998, respectively, of web filtering revenue
from contracts with customers.
Web filtering revenue from subscription sales
is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the subscription period. Typically, a subscriber purchases computer hardware and a software and
support service license for a period of use between one year to five years. The subscriber is billed in full at the time of the sale.
The Company immediately recognizes revenue attributable to the computer hardware as it is non-refundable and control passes to the customer.
The advanced billing component for software and service is initially recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as revenue
on a straight-line basis over the subscription period.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Animation revenue contracts vary with movie contracts
typically allowing for progress billings over the contract term while other episodic development activities are typically billable upon
delivery of the performance obligation for an episode. These episodic activities typically create unbilled contract assets between episode
delivery dates while movies can create contract assets or liabilities based on the progress of activities versus the arranged billing
schedule. Revenues from web filtering contracts are all billed in advance and therefore represent contract liabilities until fully recognized
on a ratable basis over the contract life.
The following table depicts the composition of
our contract assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting
pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements
that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations except as noted below:
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies
the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price
allocation. 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 recognized is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting
unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment
tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis.
On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10,
which (1) provides a framework to stagger effective dates for future major accounting standards and (2) amends the effective dates for
certain major new accounting standards to give implementation relief to certain types of entities. Specifically, ASU 2019-10 amends the
effective date for ASU 2017-04 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein.
Early adoption continues to be permitted for interim
or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of
ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its financial statements for both annual and interim reporting periods.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income
Taxes (Topic 740) which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements
such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments,
and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The amendment will be effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2020; early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial
statements.
In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial
Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which
amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective
for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company believes the adoption will
modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments, but it does not anticipate a material impact on results of operations. The
Company is in the process of determining the effects adoption will have on its 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), (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the
accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts
on an entity’s own equity. The ASU2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
the Company recorded depreciation expense of $230,040 and $195,741, respectively.
The Company has entered into operating leases
primarily for real estate. These leases have terms which range from three years to five years, and often include one or more options to
renew or in the case of equipment rental, to purchase the equipment.
In the United States, the Company leases approximately
2,100 square feet of office space in Boca Raton, Florida at the rate of $4,000 per month pursuant to a three-year lease which expires
in October 2021. The Florida office space is the location of the Company’s corporate headquarters and administrative staff.
The Company’s animation operations leases
portions of three floors aggregating approximately 28,800 square feet in the West Tower of the Philippine Stock Exchange Centre in Pasig
City, Manila. The space is used for administration and production purposes. The Company pays approximately $24,000 per month in the aggregate
for such space (which increases by approximately 5% annually). These leases expire in December 2022.
The Company’s
web filtering operations lease approximately 1,400 square feet of office space in Norcross, Georgia. The Company pays approximately $2,100
per month pursuant to a five-year lease which expires in December 2023. The lease payment increases by approximately 3% annually.
These operating leases are listed as separate
line items on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying
asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make lease payments are also listed as separate line items on the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities
commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
Based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining lease term of the Company's existing leases, the Company recognized
ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $453,920 in assets, $303,554 in current liabilities and $177,380
in noncurrent liabilities as of June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $181,987
in total lease costs.
The following table presents the remaining amortization
of the Company’s lease liabilities under ASC 842 for each of the following years ending December 31:

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit
arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the
Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers. At June 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill was $8,380,504.

8% - 12% Convertible Promissory Notes (Bridge
Notes)
On November 30, 2020, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement with EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) pursuant to which the Company issued to EMA a nine-month 8%
convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $260,000 (the “EMA Note”) for a $234,000 investment. The term of the
EMA Note may be extended by EMA up to an additional year. The EMA Note is convertible into common stock of the Company at any time after
180 days from issuance. The conversion price of the EMA Note is equal to the lower of: (i) $1.92 per share, or (ii) 70% of the lowest
trading price of the common stock during the ten consecutive trading days including and immediately preceding the conversion date.
On February 17, 2021, the terms of the EMA
financing were amended to (i) reduce the conversion rate to $1.28,
and (ii) add a three-year warrant to purchase up to 81,250
shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.60
per share. On May 19, 2021, the terms of the EMA financing were further amended to (i) increase the interest rate to 12%, and (ii) add a
three-year warrant (the “EMA Warrant”) to purchase up to 38,855 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.92 per share.
ASC 470-20 requires proceeds from the sale of
a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument
without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. In connection with the EMA warrant issuance, the Company
allocated an aggregate fair value of $104,760 to the stock warrants and recorded a debt discount which will be amortized to interest expense
over the term of the loan using the effective interest method so the debt, at its term, is recorded at its face value. The Company estimated
the fair value of the warrants at date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following inputs: (i) stock price
on the date of grant ranging between $1.60 and $4.48, (ii) the contractual term of the warrant of 3 years, (iii) a risk-free interest
rate of 0.19% and (iv) an expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock ranging between 224.9% and 258.6%.
On May 24, 2021, EMA Warrant was amended to delete the full-ratchet anti-dilution provision and the EMA Note was amended to delete the variable conversion price feature.
On June 2, 2021, the Company issued 10,000
shares of common stock to EMA upon the conversion of $11,800
in note principal and $1,000
in additional finance charges. On June 17, 2021, the Company issued 100,000
shares of common stock to EMA upon the conversion of $127,000 in note principal and $1,000
in additional finance charges.

On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into
a note purchase agreement with Quick Capital, LLC (“Quick Capital”) pursuant to which the Company issued Quick Capital a nine-month
convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $113,587 (the “Quick Note”) for a $100,000 investment, which included
an original issuance discount of 8% and a $4,500 credit for Quick Capital’s transaction expenses. The Quick Note may be converted
into shares of common stock at (i) a 30% discount to the lowest price per share of any debt or securities offering by the Company if the
Company’s common stock is listed on NASDAQ or NYSE within 90 days of the Quick Note issuance; (ii) the lesser of (A) $1.28 or (B)
a 30% discount to the average of the two lowest closing prices during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date; (iii) $1.28 per
share, upon an event of default as described in the Note.
The Company analyzed the conversion feature of
the note for a beneficial conversion feature, for which the Company concluded that a beneficial conversion feature existed. The beneficial
conversion feature was measured using the commitment-date stock price and its allocable fair value was determined to be $12,621. This
amount is recorded as a debt discount and is amortized as interest expense over the term of the related convertible note.
In connection with the Quick Note issuance, the
Company also issued a three-year warrant (the “Quick Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 36,975 shares of the Company’s
common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of this warrant at date of grant using the

of the warrant of 3 years, (iii) a risk-free interest rate of 0.19% and (iv) an expected volatility of the price of the underlying common
stock of 224.3%. As a result, the Company allocated a fair value of $33,056 to the stock warrants and recorded debt discount to be amortized
as interest expense over the term of the related convertible note.

of the warrant of 5 years, (iii) a risk-free interest rate of 0.48% and (iv) an expected volatility of the price of the underlying common
