Rivulet Entertainment, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

On July 7, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. ("The Company" or "Rivulet") completed its acquisition of certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Rivulet Media, Inc. In consideration for the acquisition of the entities, the Company agreed to transfer approximately $10 million and 97 million shares to the current owners of Rivulet Media, Inc. On May 19, 2025 the agreement was amended to reduce the cash portion of the purchase price from $10,000,000 to $6,450,000. Furthermore, the conditions subject to closing and the default provisions were eliminated. As of the date of this filing, the Company has transferred $2,950,000 to the former owners of Rivulet Media, Inc. and had an outstanding balance of $3,500,000, which was classified as other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger whereby the combined entities of Rivulet Media, Inc. were determined to be the accounting acquirer/legal acquiree and Rivulet Entertainment, inc. was determined to be the accounting acquiree/legal acquirer. As such, the historical financial statements presented in the filing (for the period ended June 30, 2024 and for the three months ended September 30, 2023) are those of the combined entities of Rivulet Media, Inc. that were transferred as part of the merger agreement.

The Company produces, distributes and markets feature-length films, television series and mini-series, and television movies, from initial creative development through principal photography, postproduction, distribution and ancillary sales.

The business strategy of Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. as it relates to films, television series, mini-series, and television movies is to enter into contracts with well-known actors and actresses, acquire scripts able to attract large audiences that have been overlooked by blockbuster producers, focus on cost control measures, obtain favorable tax credits and financing opportunities. Unlike many smaller producers, Rivulet is not targeting "artsy" niche markets but films that appeal to a wide audience. The Company's business plan as an independent film producer is to fully leverage all of its guaranteed contracts that it negotiates upfront for a film to be produced. This strategy permits the Company to raise less equity capital and obtain short-term bridge loans thereby permitting much larger budgets than historically could be obtained by independent film producers. Management believes this strategy enables the Company to produce films with budgets of up to $50 million although historically the Company has spent less than $10 million on each of its films to date. This strategy also permits the Company to forego the risks associated with a speculative movie venture which may or may not repay its funding sources by pre-selling contracts to distributors such as Netflix who are looking for content to reach its viewers. The Company can also determine whether to sell its domestic or international rights to another production company if unanticipated cash needs develop while in production.

We intend to grow and diversify our portfolio of content to capitalize on demand from emerging and traditional platforms throughout the world. We will attempt to maintain a disciplined approach to acquisition, production, and distribution of product by balancing our financial risks against the probability of commercial success for each project. We pursue the same disciplined approach to investments in, and acquisition of, libraries and other assets complementary to our business. We believe that our strategic focus on content and creation of innovative content distribution strategies will enhance our competitive position in the industry, ensure optimal use of our capital, build diversified foundation for future growth, and generate significant long-term value for our stockholders.

(“ASC”) 926, Entertainment-Films. All comparative period financial information reflects the results of the former Rivulet Media, inc. entities under common control that were transferred as part of the transaction.  

 

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the interim results and trends in the interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year or any future period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate other entities based on the guidance set forth in ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). To that extent, the Company will consolidate entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on the guidance in the ASC topic.

Going Concern

 

The Company had cash of $79,049 as of September 30, 2024. Further, the Company incurred a net loss of $603,364, negative working capital of $9.7 million, stockholders’ deficit of $1.2 million and cash flow used in operations of $1.0 million for the interim period ended September 30, 2024. As such, the Company concluded that there is substantial about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company hopes to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through its future sales of movie rights and future capital raises.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements.


6


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash or cash equivalents.

Film Costs

In accordance with ASC 926, Entertainment-Films, the Company reports production costs incurred as a separate asset on its condensed consolidated balance sheets ("Film costs"). Production costs include all direct negative costs incurred in the physical production of a film, such as compensation of cast and rental facilities on location, as well as allocations of production overhead and capitalized interest (if any). Further, costs incurred related to significant changes to a film  are added to production costs and subsequently charged to expense when the Company recognizes the related revenue.

Amortization of Production Costs

As the Company's films are monetized on their own, the Company amortizes production costs using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. Pursuant to that method, unamortized production costs as of the beginning of the current fiscal year are multiplied by the individual-film-forecast-computation method fraction. To that extent, the Company will begin amortization of capitalized production costs when a film is released, and it begins to recognize revenue from that film. The Company will review and revise its estimate of ultimate revenue as of each reporting date to reflect the most currently available information. Changes to the estimate of ultimate revenue, if any, are accounted for prospectively. Amortization of production costs is presented as production cost amortization on the face of our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Capitalized Production Costs

The Company will test its unamortized production costs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film may be less than its unamortized costs. If the Company determines that the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized production costs, then the unamortized capitalized costs for the film will be written down by the amount exceeding the film’s fair value. The unit of account for impairment testing is the individual film being produced and the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique.

Recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with the core principle outlined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Specifically, “to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services”.  To that extent, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the ASC Topic by applying the following five steps:

·Step 1-Identify the contract(s) with a customer  

·Step 2-Identify the performance obligations in the contract  

·Step 3-Determing the transaction price  

·Step 4-Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract  

·Step 5-Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation  

The Company’s contracts with its customers currently contain a single performance obligation comprised of a license to motion picture rights. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company ( i.e. the “licensor”) has concluded that the license transfer should i) be considered functional intellectual property and ii) that customers (the “licensees” or “distributors”) are therefore granted a right to access of the Company’s intellectual property throughout the license period. As such, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the Company’s delivery of the license to the licensee. The Company does not currently provide any form of extended payment terms to its customers and, as such, a fixed payment is typically received from the customer within 90 days after the license is transferred.


7


In determining the transaction price, the Company’s contracts with its customers do not include a significant financing component, non-cash consideration or consideration payable to the customer. However, the Company’s contracts typically will include sales-based or usage-based royalties that are triggered by the attainment of certain levels of box office receipts or video on demand (“VOD”) purchases. To that extent, in accordance with ASC 606-10-55, the Company will recognize the sales-based or usage-based royalties only when the later of the following events occur-a) the subsequent sale or usage occurs or b) the performance obligation to which the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been satisfied.

As it pertains to incremental costs of obtaining a contract, the Company does not incur any type of sales commissions.

Exploitation and Participation Costs

The Company accounts for advertising costs in accordance with ASC 720-35, Other Expenses-Advertising Costs. All other direct costs incurred in connection with the distribution of a film are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company will begin to accrue (expense) participation costs when i) a film is released and ii) it begins to recognize revenue from the film.  Participation costs are accrued (expensed) using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. The Company incurred participation costs of $0 and $100,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in Equity Securities

The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment in accordance with ASC 321, Investments-Equity Securities. Further, the Company will continue to recognize its investments without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment until the investment does not qualify to be measured as such. To that extent, the Company will re-assess at the end of each reporting period whether the investment still qualifies to be recognized at cost minus impairment.

In addition to assessing whether the investments still qualify to be recognized at cost minus impairment, the Company will also make a qualitative assessment at the end of each reporting period considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, then the investment will be written down to fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs, including employee salaries, legal fees relating to corporate matters, accounting and audit related costs, insurance, corporate communications, information technology, participation costs and related expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company is


8


currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.  

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

·Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; 

·Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and 

·Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. 

The reporting amount of our cash represents fair value due to its liquid nature. Further, the stated amounts of related and non-related notes payable also represent fair value as the borrowings are issued at prevailing market rates. As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis that would require disclosure based on the fair value hierarchy outlined in ASC 820.

Related Party Disclosures

The Company discloses all related party transactions in accordance with the guidance in ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. To that extent, amounts of related party transactions are stated on the face of our condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (as applicable).

Segment Reporting

The Company currently operates in a single operating segment. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“the CODM”). The Company’s CODM, which is its Chief Executive Officer, views the Company’s operations and manages its business as a single operating segment, which is currently movie film production.


9


Commitments and Contingencies

The Company accounts for contingencies in accordance with ASC 450-20, Contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that could require either accrual or disclosure.

In addition to the stated interest rates on the loans, certain of our notes payable include a net profit participation feature whereby the lender may receive an additional return based on the performance of the film underwritten by the loan. Certain of these loans are collateralized by interests in film rights the Company owns.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the issued standard will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to combined financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new ASU will have on its combined financial statements.

NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS

 

As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company held deposits of $760,166 and $854,390, respectively, with various film unions, in accordance with the requirements of collective bargaining agreements. These deposits are classified as non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deposits are intended to secure the Company's obligations for union-related benefits, including health and retirement contributions for eligible union members.

The deposits are refundable upon fulfillment of the Company's obligations under the terms of the agreements or upon termination of the agreements. As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company is in compliance with all applicable union requirements, and no deposits are subject to forfeiture. The Company monitors its compliance with these agreements on an ongoing basis to ensure all obligations are met.

 

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES

 

During June of 2023 the Company made a $2,000,000 equity investment in Casa Azul Spirits, LLC, a tequila Company incorporated in Delaware, which gave the Company a 5% ownership stake. As the Company neither controls nor has significant influence over the investee, we recognize our investment in accordance with ASC 321, Equity Securities. Further, as the equity investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value (outlined in ASC 820-10), the Company recognizes its investments in Casa Azul at cost minus impairment.

 

The carrying amount of our investment in Casa Azul was $2,000,000 as of both September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024. Further, the Company has not adjusted the cost of the investment, either upwards or downwards, since we made the initial investment. The Company considered the price per share disclosed in recent subscription agreements issued by Casa Azul in determining the carrying amount of the investment as of September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, certain notes totaling $4,140,000, were in technical default as a result of non-payment. However, per the terms of the notes, the default interest rate of 25% cannot be triggered unless a default notice is received from the lender(s). Notes totaling $2,450,000 were paid-down during October 2024. Subsequently, a default notice was received for $1,500,000 in notes during November of 2024 at which time the interest rate on the notes increased from 15% to 25%. These notes totaling $1,500,000 of the notes were paid off during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The remaining $190,000 were still in default as of the time of this filing and bore an interest rate of 25%.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into certain note agreements totaling $61,064. These notes bear interest at a rate of 10%, and mature at dates through March 28, 2025.  

 

Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into certain note agreements totaling $880,000. These notes bear interest at rates of 15% to 20%, and mature dependent upon factors related to future film sales or the closing of a senior debt facility.  

 

In addition to the stated interest rates on the loans, certain loans include a net profit participation feature whereby the lender may receive an additional return based on the performance of the film underwritten by the loan. Certain of these loans are collateralized by interests in film rights the Company owns. Additionally, certain of these notes are guaranteed by an individual who is a related party. To that extent, none of the participation features were triggered as of September 30, 2024. In addition, certain tax credit assignment loans totaling $750,000 were entered into during fiscal year 2024 whereby the lenders agreed to be paid (on a dollar per dollar basis) from the proceeds of a refundable tax credit related to the production of the Nutcracker film. While the tax credit was not received as of September 30, 2024, the Company expects to receive the credit in the near future and has therefore classified the tax assignment loans as current. In order to receive this tax credit, the Company must have an audit performed on the required financial information, which is currently in-process.

 

The Company had approximately $7.9 million in related party debt to its former parent company as of June 30, 2024. However, in accordance with the merger agreement all of the debt was forgiven as of the merger consummation date.

The debt forgiveness was recognized as an increase to additional paid in capital. Upon settlement of the transaction an additional $0.2 million of liabilities were forgiven, resulting in total liability forgiveness of $8.1 million.

 

Maturities on debt are as follows:

 

October 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Rivulet Media, Inc.

 

As part of the merger transaction, the transferred entities had $7,888,316 of intercompany loans with Rivulet Media, Inc. as of June 30, 2024. The intercompany loans did not include a stated interest rate or due date. Further, as a result of the transaction, the loans were forgiven by Rivulet Media, Inc. as of the merger consummation date. Upon settlement of the transaction an additional $189,649 of liabilities were forgiven, resulting in total liability forgiveness of $8,077,965. The debt forgiveness was recognized as an increase to additional paid in capital.

 

Beneficial Owner

 

During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company entered into a $2,880,000 note payable agreement with a certain beneficial owner of Rivulet Media, Inc. The notes are due on February 1, 2026 and have a stated interest rate of 15%. The balance of the loan was $2,880,000 as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

 

Advances

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company advanced funds to a person of Management at Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. in the amount of $127,776.  The advance bears no interest and has no stated maturity date.

 

NOTE 8 – REVERSE MERGER

 

During July of 2024, certain combined entities of Rivulet Media, Inc. entered into a reverse merger with Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, it was determined that the combined entities should be considered the accounting acquirer and Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. should be considered the accounting acquiree.  

 

In determining the number of shares outstanding as of the merger completion date, the Company utilized the guidance in ASC 805-40, Reverse Acquisitions. Specifically, while the combined entities (that were transferred as part of the transaction) did not have any shares outstanding as of the merger date, the Company established an exchange ratio based on the number of shares issued by Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. to effectuate the merger divided by the number of shares outstanding of Rivulet Media, Inc. consolidated immediately prior to the merger as follows:

 

Number of shares issued to effectuate the merger

A

96,722,950   

Rivulet Media inc. consolidated shares outstanding-pre merger  

B

   144,045,171   

Exchange ratio

A/B

0.67   

 

Further, for the recapitalization shares issued amount, the Company determined the implicit number of shares that Rivulet Media, Inc. would have had to issue in order to provide Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. with an approximate 12% interest in the combined company and multiplied that amount times the established exchange ratio as follows:

 

Gross implicit shares issued by Rivulet Media, inc.   

A

   19,320,000   

Exchange ratio

B

              0.67

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2024 through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. Other than the below, there are no subsequent events identified that would require disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

License of Nutcracker

 

During October of 2024, the Company signed a license and distribution agreement with Disney DTC LLC (“DDTC”) for access rights to the feature film “Nutcrackers” and all associated short from content (i.e. trailers, deleted scenes, etc.) The license term lasts 15 years following the initial exploitation of the project by DDTC. In consideration of the license agreement, the Company is to receive a fixed payment of $10 million of which approximately $8 million had been received as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

Debt Payments  

 

Various notes payable totaling approximately $12.0 million were repaid subsequent to September 30, 2024.

 

Debt Issuance

 

Debt Facility

 


15


On October 16, 2024 the Company entered into a one-year credit facility with total availability of $3,500,000. The full amount of $3,500,000 has been drawn as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements with an approximate interest rate of 6.5%.

 

Note Issuances

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company issued notes payable totaling $375,000 with interest rates ranging from 15% to 20% and maturities dependent upon aspects related to sale of particular films or closing of a senior debt facility.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company issued notes payable in the amount of $525,000 with various maturity dates which have had negotiated term extensions and bear interest at rates ranging from 10% to 16%.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company issued notes payable of approximately $17.6 million.  The notes bear interest at 10% and mature January 25, 2026.

 

Litigation

 

During June of 2025, the Company received an OSHA complaint which was made against one of our wholly owned subsidiaries (i.e. "The Nutcracker"). The Company does not believe that there is any merit to the claim. Further, an estimate of the possible loss cannot be made at this time.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. To that extent, the information discussed below solely reflects the results of the combined entities that were transferred as part of the agreement with Rivulet Entertainment, Inc. This document contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. When used in this document, the words "expects", "anticipates", "intends" and "plans" and similar expressions are intended to identify certain of these forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements made in this document should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this document.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company had notes payable, which were used to fund our film production, totaling $10,041,064 as of September 30, 2024. Further, the Company still has a $3,500,000 outstanding balance to Rivulet Media, inc. stemming from the merger transaction.

 

The Company will incur significant capital costs as it continues to produce feature length films, such as "The Dink". In order to continue to produce films, the Company will need to raise funds through additional borrowings until such time as our operating revenues from the sale of films are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately provide profitable operations. There is no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company had cash of $79,049 as of September 30, 2024. Further, the Company incurred a net loss of $603,364, negative working capital of $9.7 million, stockholders' deficit of $1.2 million and cash flow used in operations of $1.0 million for the interim period ended September 30, 2024. As such, the Company concluded that there is substantial about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company hopes to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through its future sales of movie rights and future capital raises.

Critical Accounting Policies

Impairment of Capitalized Production Costs

The Company will test its unamortized production costs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film may be less than its unamortized costs. If the Company determines that the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized production costs, then the unamortized capitalized costs for the film will be written down by the amount exceeding the film’s fair value. The unit of account for impairment testing is the individual film being produced and the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique.

Recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with the core principle outlined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Specifically, “to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services”.  To that extent, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the ASC Topic by applying the following five steps:

·Step 1-Identify the contract(s) with a customer  

·Step 2-Identify the performance obligations in the contract  

·Step 3-Determing the transaction price  

·Step 4-Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract  

·Step 5-Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation  

The Company’s contracts with its customers currently contain a single performance obligation comprised of a license to motion picture rights. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company ( i.e. the “licensor”) has concluded that the license transfer should i) be considered functional intellectual property and ii) that customers (the “licensees” or “distributors”) are therefore granted a right to access of the Company’s intellectual property throughout the license period. As such, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the Company’s delivery of the license to the licensee. The Company does not currently provide any form of extended payment terms to its customers and, as such, a fixed payment is typically received from the customer within 90 days after the license is transferred.

In determining the transaction price, the Company’s contracts with its customers do not include a significant financing component, non-cash consideration or consideration payable to the customer. However, the Company’s contracts typically will include sales-based or usage-based royalties that are triggered by the attainment of certain levels of box


18


office receipts or video on demand (“VOD”) purchases. To that extent, in accordance with ASC 606-10-55, the Company will recognize the sales-based or usage-based royalties only when the later of the following events occur-a) the subsequent sale or usage occurs or b) the performance obligation to which the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been satisfied.

As it pertains to incremental costs of obtaining a contract, the Company does not incur any type of sales commissions.

Investments in Equity Securities

The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment in accordance with ASC 321, Investments-Equity Securities. Further, the Company will continue to recognize its investments without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment until the investment does not qualify to be measured as such. To that extent, the Company will re-assess at the end of each reporting period whether the investment still qualifies to be recognized at cost minus impairment.

In addition to assessing whether the investments still qualify to be recognized at cost minus impairment, the Company will also make a qualitative assessment at the end of each reporting period considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, then the investment will be written down to fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on its combined financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the issued standard will have a material impact on its combined financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to combined financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new ASU will have on its combined financial statements.   

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 


19


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We, under the supervisions of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon such evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of segregation of duties and the lack of formal documentation of our control environment.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
