(“B/HI”), the Company provides expert strategic marketing and publicity services to all of the major film studios and many of the leading independent and digital content providers, A-list celebrity talent, including actors, directors, producers, celebrity chefs, social media influencers and recording artists. The Company also provides strategic marketing publicity services and creative brand strategies for prime hotel and restaurant groups and consumer brands. The strategic acquisitions of 42West, The Door, Shore Fire, Viewpoint, Be Social and B/HI bring together premium marketing services, including digital and social media marketing capabilities, with premium content production, creating significant opportunities to serve respective constituents more strategically and to grow and diversify the Company’s business. Dolphin’s content production business is a long established, leading independent producer, committed to distributing premium, best-in-class film and digital entertainment. Dolphin produces original feature films and digital programming primarily aimed at family and young adult markets.
Impact of COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it has spread throughout the United States. The pandemic has had and continues to have a significant effect on economic conditions in the United States, and continues to cause significant uncertainties in the U.S. and global economies, particularly as a result of a new Delta variant of COVID-19, which appears to be causing an increase in COVID-19 cases. Public health officials and medical professionals have warned that a resurgence of COVID-19 cases may continue, particularly if vaccination rates do not quickly increase or if additional, potent variants emerge. It is unclear how long a resurgence may last, how severe it may be, and what safety measures governments may impose in response to it.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations and financial results depends, and will continue to depend, on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 began and public and private sector measures to reduce its transmission were implemented, such as the imposition of social distancing and orders to work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place, the demand for certain of the services the Company offers was adversely affected resulting in decreased revenues and cash flows.
One of our subsidiaries operates in the food and hospitality sector, which was negatively impacted by the orders to either suspend or reduce operations of restaurants and hotels. Similarly, another subsidiary represents talent, such as actors, directors and producers, and revenues from these clients was negatively impacted by the suspension of content production. The television and streaming consumption around the globe has increased since the outbreak of COVID-19, as well as the demand for consumer products. Revenues from the marketing of these shows and products somewhat offset the decrease in revenue from the sectors discussed above.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dolphin, and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, comprising Dolphin Films, Inc.

The Company enters into relationships or investments with other entities, and in certain instances, the entity in which the Company has a relationship or investment may qualify as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is consolidated in the financial statements if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has included JB Believe, LLC formed on December 4, 2012 in the State of Florida in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as a VIE.
On
November 23, 2020,
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2021, and it results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
Reclassifications
Reclassifications have been made to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to conform to classifications used in 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to estimates of sales returns and other allowances, provisions for doubtful accounts and impairment assessments for goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates.
Additionally, the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, management has made appropriate accounting estimates on certain accounting matters, which include the allowance for doubtful accounts, carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets, carrying amount of certain convertible notes payable and embedded derivatives and warrant liabilities, based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s financial statements in future reporting periods.
Update to Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting ASU 2020-06 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is discussed below. There were no significant changes to our accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Convertible Notes
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06 that simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 (i) reduced the number of accounting models for convertible instruments, by eliminating the models that require separation of cash conversion or beneficial conversion features from the host and (ii) revised derivative scope exception and (iii) provided targeted improvements for EPS. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s outstanding convertible debt instruments as of June 30, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Guidance Adopted
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The guidance simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach without a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and amending certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. This amended guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2021 without a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on measurement of credit losses (ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments) with subsequent amendments issued in November 2018 (ASU 2018-19) and April 2019 (ASU 2019-04). This update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities and requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. It is applicable to trade accounts receivable. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern.
The Company has suffered recurring losses, including a net loss of $
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Company implemented certain measures to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on the Company, such as a freezes on hiring, salary reductions, staff reductions and cuts in non-essential spending. In addition, the Company has taken other measures to strengthen its financial position, which is evidenced by a positive working capital as of June 30, 2021.
The Company is dependent upon funds from the issuance of debt securities, securities convertible into shares of its common stock, par value $, (“Common Stock”), sales of shares of Common Stock and financial support of certain shareholders. The continued spread of COVID-19 and uncertain market conditions may limit the Company’s ability to access capital. If the Company is unable to obtain funding from these sources within the next 12 months, it could be forced to curtail its business operations or liquidate.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern within one year after these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements, of which these notes form a part, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company’s management currently plans to raise any necessary additional funds through additional issuances of its Common Stock, securities convertible into its Common Stock and/or debt securities, as well as available bank and non-bank financing, or a combination of such financing alternatives. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Any issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock would dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders, perhaps substantially. The Company currently has the rights to several scripts, including one currently in development for which it intends to obtain financing to produce and release following which it expects to earn a producer and overhead fee. There can be no assurances that such production, together with any other productions, will be commenced or released or that fees will be realized in future periods or at all. The Company is currently exploring opportunities to expand the services currently being offered by 42West, The Door, Viewpoint, Shore Fire, Be Social and B/HI while reducing expenses of their respective operations through synergies with the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in expanding such services or reducing expenses.

NOTE 3 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As of June 30, 2021, in connection
with its acquisitions of 42West, The Door, Viewpoint, Shore Fire, Be Social and B/HI, the Company has a balance of $
The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its’ carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its’ carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. This impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its’ carrying value (including goodwill). The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and an impairment loss is recorded.
Goodwill
All of the Company’s goodwill is related to the entertainment, publicity and marketing segment. Changes in the carrying value of goodwill were as follows:

B/HI Communications, Inc.
On January 8, 2021, but effective January 1, 2021, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of B/HI, a California corporation, (the “B/HI Purchase”) pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “B/HI Share Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and Dean G. Bender and Janice L. Bender, as co-trustees of the Bender Family Trust dated May 6, 2013 (collectively, the “B/HI Sellers). B/HI is an entertainment public relations agency that specializes in corporate and product communications programs for interactive gaming, esports, entertainment content and consumer product organizations.
The total consideration paid to the B/HI Seller in respect to the B/HI Purchase is $ million of shares of Common Stock based on a 30-day trailing trading average closing price immediately prior to, but not including, the applicable payment date adjusted for working capital, cash targets and the B/HI indebtedness as defined in the B/HI Share Purchase Agreement. The B/HI Sellers may also earn up to an additional $ million of which 50% will be paid in cash and 50% will be paid in Common Stock upon achieving certain specified financial performance targets during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. The Common Stock that will be issued as part of the consideration has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The following table summarizes the provisional fair value of the consideration transferred:
| Payments made to settle final indebtedness, net of minimum operating cash as defined in the B/HI Share Purchase Agreement | $ | |||
| Provisional working capital adjustment | ||||
| Provisional amount of Common Stock to be issued to the B/HI Sellers | ||||

As a condition to the B/HI Purchase, Dean Bender, one of the sellers and Shawna Lynch, a key employee of B/HI entered into employment agreements with the Company to continue as employees after the closing of the B/HI Purchase. Mr. Bender’s agreement is for a period of two years through December 31, 2022 and he will serve as Co-President of B/HI during that term. Ms. Lynch’s agreement is for a period of four years and may be renewed on the same terms for two successive two-year terms.

The Company performs ongoing reassessments of (1) whether entities previously evaluated under the majority voting-interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain triggering events, and therefore would be subject to the VIE consolidation framework, and (2) whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE cause the Company’s consolidation conclusion to change. The consolidation status of the VIEs with which the Company is involved may change as a result of such reassessments. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively with assets and liabilities of a newly consolidated VIE initially recorded at fair value unless the VIE is an entity which was previously under common control, which in that case is consolidated based on historical cost. A gain or loss may be recognized upon deconsolidation of a VIE depending on the amounts of deconsolidated assets and liabilities compared to the fair value of retained interests and ongoing contractual arrangements.

JUNE 30, 2021
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of Common Stock (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes that any dilutive equity instruments, such as put rights, warrants and convertible notes payable were exercised and outstanding Common Stock adjusted accordingly.
Certain of the
Company’s convertible notes payable and the Series C Preferred Stock have clauses that entitle the holder to participate if
dividends are declared to the common stockholders as if the instruments had been converted into shares of Common Stock. As such, the
Company uses the two-class method to compute earnings per share and attribute a portion of the Company’s net income to these participating securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company attributed $
In periods when the Put Rights are assumed to have been settled at the beginning of the period in calculating the denominator for diluted earnings (loss) per share, the related change in the fair value of Put Right liability recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period, is added back or subtracted from net income (loss) during the period. The denominator for calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 assumes the Put Rights had been settled at the beginning of the period, and therefore, the related income (loss) due to the decrease in the fair value of the Put Right liability during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is subtracted from net income (loss). The number of shares added to the denominator for the Put Rights is calculated using the reverse treasury stock method that assumes the Company issues and sells sufficient shares at the average period trading price to satisfy the Put Right contracts.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, convertible promissory notes and warrants were included in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method that assumes the convertible promissory notes are converted at the beginning of the reporting period using the average market price for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of the Common Stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the convertible promissory notes and warrants in the aggregate amount of , and shares of Common Stock, respectively, were not included in diluted loss per share because inclusion was considered to be anti-dilutive.

The amortizable life of the right-of-use asset is limited by the expected lease term.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We are a leading independent entertainment marketing and premium content production company. Through our subsidiaries, 42West, The Door, Shore Fire, Viewpoint, Be Social and B/HI, we provide expert strategic marketing and publicity services to many of the top brands, both individual and corporate, in the entertainment, hospitality and music industries. 42West, The Door and Shore Fire are each recognized global leaders in the PR services for the industries they serve. Viewpoint adds full-service creative branding and production capabilities to our marketing group and Be Social provides influencer marketing capabilities through its roster of highly engaged social media influencers. Dolphin’s legacy content production business, founded by our Emmy-nominated Chief Executive Officer, Bill O’Dowd, has produced multiple feature films and award-winning digital series, primarily aimed at family and young adult markets. Our Common Stock trades on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “DLPN”.
On January 8, 2021, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of B/HI Communications, Inc, a California corporation, referred to as B/HI, from Dean G Bender and Janice L Bender as co-trustees of the Bender Family Trust dated May 6, 2013, the Seller. The acquisition was effective January 1, 2021. B/HI is an entertainment public relations agency that specializes in corporate and product communications programs for interactive gaming, esports, entertainment content and consumer product organizations. As consideration for the acquisition of the shares of B/HI, we agreed with the Seller to pay, $0.8 million of shares of our common stock based on a 30-day trailing trading average closing price immediately prior to, but not including, the applicable payment date adjusted for working capital, cash targets and the B/HI indebtedness of approximately $0.5 million, net of minimum operating cash as defined in the purchase agreement. We may also pay up to an additional $1.2 million of which 50% will be paid in cash and 50% will be paid in shares of our common stock upon B/HI achieving certain specified financial performance targets during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.
We have established an acquisition strategy based on identifying and acquiring companies that complement our existing entertainment publicity and marketing services and content production businesses. We believe that complementary businesses, such as data analytics and digital marketing, can create synergistic opportunities and bolster profits and cash flow. We have identified potential acquisition targets and are in various stages of discussion with such targets. We intend to complete one additional acquisition during 2021, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in doing so, whether in 2021 or at all.
We operate in two reportable segments: our entertainment publicity and marketing segment and our content production segment. The entertainment publicity and marketing segment comprises 42West, The Door, Shore Fire, Viewpoint, Be Social and B/HI and provides clients with diversified services, including public relations, entertainment content marketing, strategic marketing consulting, digital marketing capabilities, creative branding and in-house production of content for marketing. The content production segment comprises Dolphin Films and Dolphin Digital Studios and specializes in the production and distribution of digital content and feature films.
COVID Update
During March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it has spread throughout the United States. The pandemic has had and continues to have a significant effect on economic conditions in the United States, and continues to cause significant uncertainties in the U.S. and global economies, particularly as a result of a new Delta variant of COVID-19, which appears to be causing an increase in COVID-19 cases. Public health officials and medical professionals have warned that a resurgence of COVID-19 cases may continue, particularly if vaccination rates do not quickly increase or if additional, potent variants emerge. It is unclear how long a resurgence may last, how severe it may be, and what safety measures governments may impose in response to it.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations and financial results depends, and will continue to depend, on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 began and public and private sector measures to reduce its transmission were implemented, such as the imposition of social distancing and orders to work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place, the demand for certain of the services the Company offers was adversely affected resulting in decreased revenues and cash flows.
| 27 |
One of our subsidiaries operates in the food and hospitality sector, which was negatively impacted by the orders to either suspend or reduce operations of restaurants and hotels. Similarly, another subsidiary represents talent, such as actors, directors and producers, and revenues from these clients was negatively impacted by the suspension of content production. The television and streaming consumption around the globe has increased since the outbreak of COVID-19, as well as the demand for consumer products. Revenues from the marketing of these shows and products somewhat offset the decrease in revenue from the sectors discussed above.
Going Concern
In the audit opinion for our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, our independent registered public accountants included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2020 and our working capital deficit. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The Company has suffered recurring losses, including a net loss of $3,922,043, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and had an accumulated deficit of $101,894,084 as of June 30, 2021. Several of our subsidiaries operate in industries that have been adversely affected by the government mandated work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders as a result of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. As these industries continue to gradually reopen, we have seen signs of improvement on demand for their services. We have noted an increase in demand for our services and noted signs of improvement in the results of our operations; for the three months ended June 30, 2021 we noted increased revenues, cash flows from operations and reported net income. In addition, we operate in industries that have been adversely affected by COVID-19 (e.g. food, hospitality and talent PR). The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management concluded that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Management is planning to raise any necessary additional funds through additional sales of our common stock, securities convertible into our common stock, debt securities, as well as available bank and non-bank financing, or a combination of such financing alternatives; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any necessary additional capital or securing loans. If we are unable to raise additional funds from the sale of common stock, securities convertible into our common stock, debt securities, bank and non-bank financing or any combination of such financing securities, we may be forced to curtail our business operations or liquidate.
Revenues
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we derived all of our revenues from our entertainment publicity and marketing segment. The entertainment publicity and marketing segment generates its revenues from providing public relations services for celebrities, musicians and brands, entertainment and targeted content marketing for film and television series, strategic communications services for corporations, public relations, marketing services and brand strategies for hotels and restaurants and digital marketing through its roster of social media influencers. Refer to discussion under Revenues in the Results of Operations section below for further discussion on the revenues from the content production segment.
Entertainment Publicity and Marketing
Our revenue is directly impacted by the retention and spending levels of existing clients and by our ability to win new clients. We believe that we have a stable client base, and we have continued to grow organically through referrals and actively soliciting new business, as well as through acquisition of new businesses within the same industry. We earn revenues primarily from the following sources: (i) celebrity talent services; (ii) content marketing services under multiyear master service agreements in exchange for fixed project-based fees; (iii) individual engagements for entertainment content marketing services for durations of generally between three and six months; (iv) strategic communications services; (v) engagements for marketing of special events such as food and wine festivals; (vi) engagement for marketing of brands; (vii) arranging strategic marketing agreements between brands and social media influencers and (viii) content productions of marketing materials on a project contract basis. For these revenue streams, we collect fees through either fixed fee monthly retainer agreements, fees based on a percentage of contracts or project-based fees.
| 28 |
We earn entertainment publicity and marketing revenues primarily through the following:
| ● | Talent – We earn fees from creating and implementing strategic communication campaigns for performers and entertainers, including Oscar, Tony and Emmy winning film, theater and television stars, directors, producers, celebrity chefs and Grammy winning recording artists. Our services in this area include ongoing strategic counsel, media relations, studio and/or network liaison work, and event and tour support. |
| ● | Entertainment Marketing and Brand Strategy– We earn fees from providing marketing direction, public relations counsel and media strategy for entertainment content (including theatrical films, television programs, DVD and VOD releases, and online series) from all the major studios, as well as content producers ranging from individual filmmakers and creative artists to production companies, film financiers, DVD distributors, and other entities. In addition, we provide entertainment marketing services in connection with film festivals, food and wine festivals, awards campaigns, event publicity and red-carpet management. As part of our services, we offer marketing and publicity services tailored to reach diverse audiences. We also provide marketing direction targeted to the ideal consumer through a creative public relations and creative brand strategy for hotel and restaurant groups. Our clients for this type of service include major studios, streaming services, independent producers and leading hotel and restaurant groups. We expect that increased digital streaming marketing budgets at several large key clients will drive growth of revenue and profit in 42West’s Entertainment Marketing division over the next several years. |
| ● | Strategic Communications – We earn fees by advising companies looking to create, raise or reposition their public profiles, primarily in the entertainment industry. We believe that growth in Strategic Communications division will be driven by increasing demand for these services by traditional and non-traditional media clients who are expanding their activities in the content production, branding, and consumer products PR sectors. We expect that this growth trend will continue for the next three to five years. We also help studios and filmmakers deal with controversial movies, as well as high-profile individuals address sensitive situations. |
| ● | Creative Branding and Production – We offer clients creative branding and production services from concept creation to final delivery. Our services include brand strategy, concept and creative development, design and art direction, script and copyrighting, live action production and photography, digital development, video editing and composite, animation, audio mixing and engineering, project management and technical support. We expect that our ability to offer these services to our existing clients in the entertainment and consumer products industries, will be accretive to our revenue. |
| ● | Digital Media Influencer Marketing Campaigns – We arrange strategic marketing agreements between brands and social media influencers, for both organic and paid campaigns. We also offer services for social media activations at events, as well as editorial work on behalf of brand clients. Our services extend beyond our own captive influencer network, and we manage custom campaigns targeting specific demographics and locations, from ideation to delivery of results reports. We expect that our relationship with social media influencers will provide us the ability to offer these services to our existing clients in the entertainment and consumer products industries and will be accretive to our revenue. |
Content Production
Project Development and Related Services
We have a team that dedicates a portion of its time to identifying scripts, story treatments and novels for acquisition, development and production. The scripts can be for either digital or motion picture productions. We have acquired the rights to certain scripts that we intend to produce and release in the future, subject to obtaining financing. We have not yet determined if these projects would be produced for digital, television or theatrical distribution.
Our pipeline of feature films includes:
| ● | Youngblood, an updated version of the 1986 hockey classic; |
| ● | Sisters Before Misters, a comedy about two estranged sisters finding their way back to each other after a misunderstanding causes one of them to have to plan the other’s wedding and. |
| ● | Out of their League, a romantic comedy pitting husband versus wife in the cut-throat world of fantasy football; |
| 29 |
We have completed development of each of these feature films, which means that we have completed the script and can begin pre-production once financing is obtained. We are planning to fund these projects through third-party financing arrangements, domestic distribution advances, pre-sales, and location-based tax credits, and if necessary, sales of our common stock, securities convertible into our common stock, debt securities or a combination of such financing alternatives; however, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the financing necessary to produce any of these feature films.
Expenses
Our expenses consist primarily of: (1) direct costs; (2) selling, general and administrative expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization expense; (4) legal and professional fees and (5) payroll expenses.
| (1) | Direct costs include certain cost of services, as well as certain production costs, related to our entertainment publicity and marketing business. Included within direct costs are immaterial impairments for any of our content production projects. |
| (2) | Selling, general and administrative expenses include all overhead costs except for payroll, depreciation and amortization and legal and professional fees that are reported as a separate expense item. |
| (3) | Depreciation and amortization include the depreciation of our property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets and leasehold improvements. |
| (4) | Legal and professional fees include fees paid to our attorneys, fees for investor relations consultants, audit and accounting fees and fees for general business consultants. |
| (5) | Payroll expenses include wages, payroll taxes and employee benefits. |
Other Income and Expenses
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, other income and expenses consisted primarily of: (1) gain on extinguishment of debt; (2) changes in the fair value of put rights; (3) changes in fair value of contingent consideration; (4) changes in fair value of warrants; (5) changes in fair value of convertible notes and derivative liabilities and (6) interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we also had a loss on the deconsolidation of our Max Steel variable interest entity.

| Total revenue | $ | 8,643,244 | $ | 5,194,725 | $ | 15,820,362 | $ | 11,828,525 | ||||||||
Revenues from entertainment publicity and marketing increased by approximately $3.4 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the revenues of Be Social, B/HI and increased revenues from all of our subsidiaries, as customers were resuming spending for services we provide. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s revenues were adversely affected by government-imposed orders to either reduce or completely shut down the in-restaurant service and shut down of movie content production due to COVID-19 that caused our clients to reduce or suspend the services we provided to them. We did not derive any revenues from the content production segment as we have not produced and distributed any of the projects discussed above and the projects that were produced and distributed in 2013 and 2016 have mostly completed their normal revenue cycles.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our expenses were as follows:

Direct costs increased by approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in direct costs is primarily related to an increase in Viewpoint’s revenue. Direct costs for Viewpoint are primarily costs attributable to the production costs of each of their projects.
Payroll expenses increased by approximately $2.7 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to including payroll costs of Be Social acquired in August 2020 and B/HI acquired in January 2021, in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company made salary and staff reductions related to decreases in revenues due to COVID-19. All employees’ salaries were restored by the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily related to including the selling, general and administrative costs of Be Social acquired on August 17, 2020 and B/HI acquired on January 1, 2021, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Legal and professional fees increased by approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to including legal and professional fees for Be Social acquired August 17, 2020 and B/HI acquired January 1, 2021 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and consulting and audit fees related to our restatement of the September 30, 2020 10-Q included in our form 10-K filed on April 15, 2021.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.1 million in connection with forgiveness of the PPP Loans of 42West and Dolphin offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt of $57,400 related to the exchange of certain put rights for shares of our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.3 million primarily related to the Max Steel VIE. In February 2020, the lender of the production service agreement confirmed that the Max Steel VIE did not owe them any debt. We reassessed our status as the primary beneficiary of the Max Steel VIE and concluded that we were no longer the primary beneficiary of the Max Steel VIE. As a result, we deconsolidated the Max Steel VIE and recorded a loss on deconsolidation of approximately $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
We elected the fair value option for certain convertible notes issued in 2020. The embedded conversion feature of a convertible note issued in 2019 met the criteria for a derivative. The fair value of these convertible notes and embedded conversion feature are remeasured at every balance sheet date and any changes are recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a change in the fair value of the convertible notes issued in 2020 in the amount of a gain of $0.3 million and a loss of $0.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a change in the fair value of the convertible notes issued in 2020 in the amount of a losses of $0.6 million and a loss of $0.5 million, respectively. None of the decrease in the value of the convertible notes was attributable to instrument specific credit risk and as such all of the gain in the change in fair value was recorded within net income.
Warrants issued with convertible notes payable issued in 2020, were initially measured at fair value at the time of issuance and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date, with changes in estimated fair value of each respective warrant liability recognized as other income or expense. In March 2021, one of the warrant holders exercised 146,027 warrants via a cashless exercise formula. The price of our common stock on the exercise date was $19.16 per share and we recorded a change in fair value of the exercised warrants of $2.4 million on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the 2020 warrants that were not exercised increased by approximately $65,000 and we recorded a change in the fair value of the warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2021 for that amount on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The fair value of put rights related to the 42West acquisition were recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet on the date of the acquisition. The fair value of the put rights are measured at every balance sheet date and any changes are recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the put rights decreased by approximately $71,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and increased by approximately $47,100 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and decreased by approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Contingent consideration related to our acquisitions of The Door and Be Social was recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the respective acquisition dates. The fair value of the related contingent consideration is measured at every balance sheet date and any changes recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration increased by approximately $0.1 million and decreased $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and decreased by approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Interest expense and debt amortization expense decreased by approximately:
| · | $0.03 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in prior year primarily due to convertible notes that converted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021; and |
| · | $0.9 million and $1.2 million of debt amortization recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, related to beneficial conversion features of certain convertible notes payable converted during that period. |
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit of $38,851 for the six months ending June 30, 2021. There was no income tax expense or benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The income tax benefit is due to a reduction of the valuation allowance against the deferred tax liability recorded as a result of the B/HI acquisition.

Net Income (Loss)
Net income was approximately $1.3 million or $0.17 per share based on 7,664,000 weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share and $0.13 per share based on 7,913,396 weighted average shares outstanding for fully diluted earnings per share, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss was approximately $(2.9) million or $0.62 per share based on 4,719,241 weighted average shares outstanding for both basic and fully diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change in net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, is related to the factors discussed above.
Net loss was approximately $(3.9) million or $(0.53) per share based on 7,456,360 weighted average shares outstanding for both basic and fully diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $0.9 million and pertained primarily to $0.6 million and $0.3 million in connection with the acquisitions of Shore Fire and Viewpoint, respectively.
Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $1.8 million which mainly related to:
Inflows:
| · | $3.1 million of proceeds from convertible notes payable. |
Outflows:
| · | $1.0 million from the exercise of put rights; |

An accumulated deficit of $101.9 million as of June 30, 2021, and net losses of $3,922,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. In this regard, management is planning to raise any necessary additional funds through additional issuances of our common stock, securities convertible into our common stock, debt securities, as well as available bank and non-bank financing, or a combination of such financing alternatives. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital. Such issuances of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock would further dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders, perhaps substantially.

Our subsidiaries operate in industries that were adversely affected by the government mandated shelter-in-place, stay-at-home and work-from-home orders as a result of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. During 2021, we received $3.1 million of convertible notes payable. In addition, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, we received notifications of the forgiveness of the PPP Loans of 42West and Dolphin, which amounted to $1.1 million. In July 2021, we received notification of the forgiveness of two other PPP Loans in the amount of approximately $0.8 million. We have submitted applications for forgiveness for all other PPP Loans, which amount to $1.2 million. The loans are unsecured and all or a portion of the loans may be forgiven upon application to the lender for certain expenditure amounts made, including payroll costs, in accordance with the requirements under the PPP. There is no assurance that the remaining obligations under these loans will be forgiven.
In addition, we have a substantial amount of debt. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying digital or film productions, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness or seeking additional debt or equity capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to execute any of these remedies on satisfactory terms or at all and our indebtedness may affect our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2021, our total debt was approximately $8.0 million, which includes $2.0 million of PPP Loans. As of the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, the SBA has forgiven approximately $0.8 million of these PPP loans and we have applied for forgiveness for two additional PPP loans in the aggregate amount of $1.2 million. Our total stockholders’ equity was approximately $22.2 million.
Financing Arrangements
Term Loan
42West and The Door, as co-borrowers, entered into a three-year term loan (the “Term Loan”) with Bank United, N.A, which bears interest at a rate of 0.75% points over the Lender’s Prime Rate, provides for monthly repayment of principal and interest and matures on March 15, 2023. As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan was $700,227.
The Term Loan contains both customary affirmative and negative covenants. The bank tests for compliance with debt covenants on an annual basis based on the financial statements of 42West and The Door as of and for the year ended December 31. Based on current economic factors and uncertainties due to COVID-19, we believe we are out of compliance with certain debt covenants as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As such, we classified the entire balance of the Term Loan in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.
Promissory Notes
Convertible Notes Payable
On March 2021, April 2021 and June 2021 we issued seven convertible promissory notes to four noteholders in the aggregate amount of $3,050,000. The convertible promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and mature on the second anniversary of their respective issuances. The balance of each convertible promissory note and any accrued interest may be converted at the noteholder’s option at any time at a purchase price based on a 90-day average closing market price per share of the Common Stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the holders of five convertible notes that were issued in 2020, converted the principal balance of $1,445,000 plus accrued interest of $8,611 into 381,601 shares of Common Stock at conversion prices ranging between $3.69 and $3.96 per share.
We recorded interest expense related to these convertible notes payable of $15,565 and $42,482 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively and made cash interest payments amounting to $31,149 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the convertible promissory notes.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the principal balance of the convertible promissory notes of $3,050,000 and $1,445,000, respectively, was recorded in noncurrent liabilities under the caption convertible promissory notes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
| 35 |
Convertible Notes Payable at fair value
We had convertible promissory notes outstanding with aggregate principal amounts of $1,600,000 as of December 31, 2020 for which we elected the fair value option. As such, the estimated fair value of each note was recorded on their respective issue dates. At each balance sheet date, we record the fair value of the convertible promissory notes with any changes in the fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On each of January 13, 2021 and January 27, 2021, notes with an aggregate principal balance of $1,100,000 were converted into 281,554 shares of Common Stock at purchase prices ranging between $3.90 and $3.91 per share. We had a balance of $1,029,766 and 947,293 in noncurrent liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and $580,000 in current liabilities as of December 31, 2020 recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the fair value of these convertible promissory notes. We recorded a gain in fair value of $268,974 and a loss in fair value of $696,420 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and losses in fair value of $602,475 and $548,961 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We recorded interest expense of $9,863 and $19,726 on our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and made cash interest payments amounting to $19,726 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to these convertible promissory notes.
Nonconvertible Promissory Notes
As of June 30, 2021, we have outstanding unsecured nonconvertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1.4 million, which bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and mature between November 5, 2021 and December 10, 2023.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a balance of $302,455 and $846,749, respectively, recorded as current liabilities and $924,141 and $426,645, respectively in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these nonconvertible promissory notes. We recorded interest expense related to these nonconvertible promissory notes of $30,927 and $33,347 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $62,449 and $67,230 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We made interest payments of $62,726 and $67,230 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the nonconvertible promissory notes.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or “GAAP”. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Refer to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a complete description of our significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected and future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our views only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the future, except as required by applicable law.
Risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements include those described as “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as updated by our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and Current Reports on Forms 8-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to improve that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021, which have not been remediated as of the date of the filing of this report.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In order to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, we intend to implement improvements during fiscal year 2021, under the direction of our board of directors, as follows:
| ● | Our Board intends to review the COSO “Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies” that was published in 2006 and updated in 2013, including the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication and monitoring. Based on this framework, the Board plans to implement controls as needed assuming a cost benefit relationship. In addition, our Board plans to evaluate the key concepts of the updated 2013 COSO “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” as it provides a means to apply internal control to any type of entity. |
| ● | Perform a comprehensive review of current procedures to ensure compliance with our newly documented accounting policies and procedures; |
| ● | Review and enhance segregation of duties; |
| ● | Review and document the period end procedures for analyzing complex transactions. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the first quarter of 2021 and continuing through the second quarter of 2021, we hired an accounting firm to assist in the review of accounting of complex transactions. There has otherwise been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal quarter covered by this report.

Impact of COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it has spread throughout the United States. The pandemic has had and continues to have a significant effect on economic conditions in the United States, and continues to cause significant uncertainties in the U.S. and global economies, particularly as a result of a new Delta variant of COVID-19, which appears to be causing an increase in COVID-19 cases. Public health officials and medical professionals have warned that a resurgence of COVID-19 cases may continue, particularly if vaccination rates do not quickly increase or if additional, potent variants emerge. It is unclear how long a resurgence may last, how severe it may be, and what safety measures governments may impose in response to it.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations and financial results depends, and will continue to depend, on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 began and public and private sector measures to reduce its transmission were implemented, such as the imposition of social distancing and orders to work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place, the demand for certain of the services the Company offers was adversely affected resulting in decreased revenues and cash flows.
One of our subsidiaries operates in the food and hospitality sector, which was negatively impacted by the orders to either suspend or reduce operations of restaurants and hotels. Similarly, another subsidiary represents talent, such as actors, directors and producers, and revenues from these clients was negatively impacted by the suspension of content production. The television and streaming consumption around the globe has increased since the outbreak of COVID-19, as well as the demand for consumer products. Revenues from the marketing of these shows and products somewhat offset the decrease in revenue from the sectors discussed above. Between April 19, 2020 and April 23, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries received five separate unsecured loans for an aggregate amount of $2.8 million (the “PPP Loans”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Through our acquisition of Be Social, the Company assumed a PPP Loan of $304,169. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments and covered utilities during the measurement period beginning on the date of first disbursement of the PPP Loans. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount can be attributable to non-payroll costs. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the PPP Loans and qualifying for the forgiveness of the PPP Loans based on its adherence to the forgiveness criteria. Throughout 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries applied for forgiveness of all PPP Loans received. On June 28, 2021, the Company was notified that the SBA had approved our application to forgive the entire amount of the loans for 42West and Dolphin, which in aggregate amounted to $1.1 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company was notified that the SBA had approved our application to forgive the entire amount of the loans for Viewpoint and Shore Fire, which in aggregate amounted to $0.8 million. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loans relating to The Door and Be Social; which are still outstanding as of the date of this quarterly report on form 10-Q.
Depending on the extent and duration of the pandemic and the related economic impacts, COVID-19 may continue to impact our business and financial results, as well as significant judgments and estimates, including those related to goodwill and other asset impairments and allowances for doubtful accounts.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dolphin, and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, comprising Dolphin Films, Inc. (“Dolphin Films”), Dolphin SB Productions LLC, Dolphin Max Steel Holdings, LLC (“Max Steel Holdings”), Dolphin JB Believe Financing, LLC, Dolphin JOAT Productions, LLC, 42West, The Door, Viewpoint, Shore Fire, Be Social and B/HI.
The Company enters into relationships or investments with other entities, and in certain instances, the entity in which the Company has a relationship or investment may qualify as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is consolidated in the financial statements if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has included JB Believe, LLC formed on December 4, 2012 in the State of Florida in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as a VIE.
On November 23, 2020, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the authorized, issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on November 27, 2020 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock was reduced from 200,000,000 shares to 40,000,000. The par value per share of Common Stock remains unchanged. As a result, each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remained unchanged. Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. All references to Common Stock or common stock price in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2021, and it results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Reclassifications
Reclassifications have been made to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to conform to classifications used in 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to estimates of sales returns and other allowances, provisions for doubtful accounts and impairment assessments for goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates.
Additionally, the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, management has made appropriate accounting estimates on certain accounting matters, which include the allowance for doubtful accounts, carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets, carrying amount of certain convertible notes payable and embedded derivatives and warrant liabilities, based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s financial statements in future reporting periods.
Update to Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting ASU 2020-06 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is discussed below. There were no significant changes to our accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Convertible Notes
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06 that simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 (i) reduced the number of accounting models for convertible instruments, by eliminating the models that require separation of cash conversion or beneficial conversion features from the host and (ii) revised derivative scope exception and (iii) provided targeted improvements for EPS. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s outstanding convertible debt instruments as of June 30, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Guidance Adopted
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The guidance simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach without a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and amending certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. This amended guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2021 without a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on measurement of credit losses (ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments) with subsequent amendments issued in November 2018 (ASU 2018-19) and April 2019 (ASU 2019-04). This update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities and requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. It is applicable to trade accounts receivable. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

| GOING CONCERN | NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses, including a net loss of $3,922,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and had an accumulated deficit of $101,894,084 as of June 30, 2021. Several of our subsidiaries operate in industries that have been adversely affected by the government mandated work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders as a result of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. As these industries continue to gradually reopen, we have seen signs of improvement on demand for their services. We have noted an increase in demand for our services and noted signs of improvement in the results of our operations; for the three months ended June 30, 2021 we noted increased revenues as compared to the same period in prior year, cash flows from operations and reported net income.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Company implemented certain measures to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on the Company, such as a freezes on hiring, salary reductions, staff reductions and cuts in non-essential spending. In addition, the Company has taken other measures to strengthen its financial position, which is evidenced by a positive working capital as of June 30, 2021.
The Company is dependent upon funds from the issuance of debt securities, securities convertible into shares of its common stock, par value $, (“Common Stock”), sales of shares of Common Stock and financial support of certain shareholders. The continued spread of COVID-19 and uncertain market conditions may limit the Company’s ability to access capital. If the Company is unable to obtain funding from these sources within the next 12 months, it could be forced to curtail its business operations or liquidate.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern within one year after these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements, of which these notes form a part, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company’s management currently plans to raise any necessary additional funds through additional issuances of its Common Stock, securities convertible into its Common Stock and/or debt securities, as well as available bank and non-bank financing, or a combination of such financing alternatives. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Any issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock would dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders, perhaps substantially. The Company currently has the rights to several scripts, including one currently in development for which it intends to obtain financing to produce and release following which it expects to earn a producer and overhead fee. There can be no assurances that such production, together with any other productions, will be commenced or released or that fees will be realized in future periods or at all. The Company is currently exploring opportunities to expand the services currently being offered by 42West, The Door, Viewpoint, Shore Fire, Be Social and B/HI while reducing expenses of their respective operations through synergies with the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in expanding such services or reducing expenses. |

| GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | NOTE 3 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As of June 30, 2021, in connection with its acquisitions of 42West, The Door, Viewpoint, Shore Fire, Be Social and B/HI, the Company has a balance of $20,015,800 of goodwill on its condensed consolidated balance sheet which management has assigned to the entertainment publicity and marketing segment. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC No. 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires goodwill to be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. The Company evaluates goodwill in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.
The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its’ carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its’ carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. This impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its’ carrying value (including goodwill). The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and an impairment loss is recorded.
Goodwill
All of the Company’s goodwill is related to the entertainment, publicity and marketing segment. Changes in the carrying value of goodwill were as follows:

B/HI Communications, Inc.
On January 8, 2021, but effective January 1, 2021, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of B/HI, a California corporation, (the “B/HI Purchase”) pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “B/HI Share Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and Dean G. Bender and Janice L. Bender, as co-trustees of the Bender Family Trust dated May 6, 2013 (collectively, the “B/HI Sellers). B/HI is an entertainment public relations agency that specializes in corporate and product communications programs for interactive gaming, esports, entertainment content and consumer product organizations.
The total consideration paid to the B/HI Seller in respect to the B/HI Purchase is $ million of shares of Common Stock based on a 30-day trailing trading average closing price immediately prior to, but not including, the applicable payment date adjusted for working capital, cash targets and the B/HI indebtedness as defined in the B/HI Share Purchase Agreement. The B/HI Sellers may also earn up to an additional $ million of which 50% will be paid in cash and 50% will be paid in Common Stock upon achieving certain specified financial performance targets during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. The Common Stock that will be issued as part of the consideration has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The following table summarizes the provisional fair value of the consideration transferred:
As a condition to the B/HI Purchase, Dean Bender, one of the sellers and Shawna Lynch, a key employee of B/HI entered into employment agreements with the Company to continue as employees after the closing of the B/HI Purchase. Mr. Bender’s agreement is for a period of two years through December 31, 2022 and he will serve as Co-President of B/HI during that term. Ms. Lynch’s agreement is for a period of four years and may be renewed on the same terms for two successive two-year terms. Ms. Lynch will serve as Co-President of B/HI during the term of her agreement. The following table summarizes the provisional fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the B/HI Purchase. Amounts in the table are estimates that may change, as described below.
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s statements of operations includes revenue pertaining to B/HI amounting to $818,408 and $1,426,841, respectively, and net income of $ and $, respectively. The following represents the Company’s unaudited pro forma consolidated operations after giving effect to the Be Social and B/HI acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as if the Company had completed both acquisitions on January 1, 2020 and its results had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the three and six months ending June 30, 2020.
These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of the acquisitions to reflect the amortization that would have been charged, assuming the intangible assets had been recorded on January 1, 2020.
The impact of the acquisition of Be Social and B/HI on the Company’s actual results for periods following the acquisition may differ significantly from that reflected in this unaudited pro forma information for a number of reasons. As a result, this unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisitions been completed on January 1, 2020, as provided in this pro forma financial information. In addition, the pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company.
Be Social
In August 2020, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interest of Be Social. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment amounting to $82,651 of working capital adjustments. |

Contingent consideration
The Company records the fair value of the contingent consideration liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Contingent Consideration” and records changes to the liability against earnings or loss under the caption “Changes in fair value of contingent consideration” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company utilized a Monte Carlo Simulation model, which incorporates significant inputs that are not observable in the market, and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The unobservable inputs utilized for measuring the fair value of the contingent consideration reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date. The Company determined the fair value by using the following key inputs to the Monte Carlo Simulation Model:
For the contingent consideration, which are measured at fair value categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the following is a reconciliation of the fair values from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021:

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election – Convertible notes payable and freestanding warrants
2020 convertible notes payable
During 2020, the Company issued three convertible notes payable: a convertible note with a principal amount of $1.3 million (the “January 3rd Note”), face value of $500,000 (the “March 4th Note”) and face value of $560,000 (the “March 25th Note”) (together “the 2020 convertible notes”), which are all accounted for under the ASC 825-10-15-4 FVO election. Under the FVO election the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair value adjustment is presented as a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations under the caption “change in fair value of convertible notes and derivative liabilities”. The 2020 convertible notes are measured at fair value categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following is a reconciliation of the fair values from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021:
The estimated fair value of the January 3rd Note and the March 25th Note was computed using a Monte Carlo simulation, which incorporates significant inputs that are not observable in the market, and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The unobservable inputs utilized for measuring the fair value of the note reflects management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the note as of the acquisition date and subsequent reporting periods.
The estimated fair value of the March 4th Note as of June 30, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020, was computed using a Black-Scholes simulation of the present value of its cash flows using a synthetic credit rating analysis and a required rate of return, using the following assumptions:

VIEs are entities that, by design, either (1) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the residual returns of the entity.
The Company evaluated the entities in which it did not have a majority voting interest and determined that it had (1) the power to direct the activities of the entities that most significantly impact their economic performance and (2) had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from these entities. As such the financial statements of JB Believe, LLC are consolidated in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows presented herein for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. This entity was previously under common control and has been accounted for at historical costs for all periods presented.
The Company performs ongoing reassessments of (1) whether entities previously evaluated under the majority voting-interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain triggering events, and therefore would be subject to the VIE consolidation framework, and (2) whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company’s involvement with a VIE cause the Company’s consolidation conclusion to change. The consolidation status of the VIEs with which the Company is involved may change as a result of such reassessments. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively with assets and liabilities of a newly consolidated VIE initially recorded at fair value unless the VIE is an entity which was previously under common control, which in that case is consolidated based on historical cost. A gain or loss may be recognized upon deconsolidation of a VIE depending on the amounts of deconsolidated assets and liabilities compared to the fair value of retained interests and ongoing contractual arrangements.
JB Believe LLC (“Believe”), an entity owned by Believe Film Partners LLC, of which the Company owns a 25% membership interest, was formed for the purpose of recording the production costs of the motion picture “Believe”. The Company was given unanimous consent by the members to enter into domestic and international distribution agreements for the licensing rights of the motion picture, Believe, until such time as the Company had been repaid $3,200,000 for the investment in the production of the film and $5,000,000 for the P&A to market and release the film in the US. The Company has not been repaid these amounts and as such is still in control of the distribution of the film. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any revenues related to the distribution of Believe. The capitalized production costs related to Believe were either amortized or impaired in previous years. Believe’s primary liability is to the Company which it owes $6,301,314 and eliminates in consolidation.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has the power to designate the rights and preferences of the preferred stock and issue the preferred stock in one or more series.
On July 6, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to designate preferred shares as Series C with a $ par value which may be issued only to an “Eligible Series C Preferred Stock Holder”. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Series C, each share of Series C will be convertible into one share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for each issuance of Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain event(s) described in further detail in “Note 16: Stockholders’ Equity” within Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 At a meeting of the Board on November 12, 2020, a majority of the independent directors of the Board determined that the “optional conversion threshold” had been met. As a result, the Series C became immediately convertible and as of June 30, 2021 is convertible into 4,738,940 shares of Common Stock, subject to the restriction discussed below. Additionally, DE LLC, as the holder of the Series C is entitled to 14,216,819 votes, which are equal to approximately 65% of the voting securities of the Company.
At the meeting of the Board on November 12, 2020, the Board and Mr. O’Dowd agreed to restrict the conversion of the Series C until the Board approved its conversion. Therefore, on November 16, 2020, the Company and DE, LLC entered into a Stock Restriction Agreement pursuant to which the conversion of the Series C is prohibited until such time as a majority of the independent directors of the Board approves the removal of the prohibition. The Stock Restriction Agreement also prohibits the sale or other transfer of the Series C until such transfer is approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Board. The Stock Restriction Agreement shall terminate upon a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Stock Restriction Agreement) of the Company.
The Certificate of Designation also provides for a liquidation value of $0.001 per share and dividend rights of the Series C on parity with the Company’s Common Stock.
The following table summarizes the movement of the common stock outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2020:
On June 29, 2017, the shareholders of the Company approved the Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not issue any Awards under the 2017 Plan.

| EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE |
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of Common Stock (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes that any dilutive equity instruments, such as put rights, warrants and convertible notes payable were exercised and outstanding Common Stock adjusted accordingly.
Certain of the Company’s convertible notes payable and the Series C Preferred Stock have clauses that entitle the holder to participate if dividends are declared to the common stockholders as if the instruments had been converted into shares of Common Stock. As such, the Company uses the two-class method to compute earnings per share and attribute a portion of the Company’s net income to these participating securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company attributed $8,750 of the Company’s net income to these participating securities and reduced the net income available to common shareholders by that amount when calculating earnings per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a net loss, and as such, the two-class method is not presented since the securities do not participate in losses.
In periods when the Put Rights are assumed to have been settled at the beginning of the period in calculating the denominator for diluted earnings (loss) per share, the related change in the fair value of Put Right liability recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period, is added back or subtracted from net income (loss) during the period. The denominator for calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 assumes the Put Rights had been settled at the beginning of the period, and therefore, the related income (loss) due to the decrease in the fair value of the Put Right liability during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is subtracted from net income (loss). The number of shares added to the denominator for the Put Rights is calculated using the reverse treasury stock method that assumes the Company issues and sells sufficient shares at the average period trading price to satisfy the Put Right contracts.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, convertible promissory notes and warrants were included in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method that assumes the convertible promissory notes are converted at the beginning of the reporting period using the average market price for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of the Common Stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the convertible promissory notes and warrants in the aggregate amount of , and shares of Common Stock, respectively, were not included in diluted loss per share because inclusion was considered to be anti-dilutive.

A summary of warrants outstanding at December 31, 2020 and issued, exercised and expired during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is as follows:
On March 4, 2020, in connection with the March 4th Note, the Company issued Series “I” Warrant to purchase up to 20,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $3.91 per share. The warrants become exercisable on the six-month anniversary and for a period of five years thereafter. If a resale registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants is not effective and available at the time of exercise, the warrants may be exercised by means of a “cashless” exercise formula. The Company determined that the Series “I” Warrant should be classified as a freestanding financial instrument that meets the criteria to be accounted for as a derivative liability and recorded a fair value at issuance of $40,000.

| Impact of COVID-19 | Impact of COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization categorized a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it has spread throughout the United States. The pandemic has had and continues to have a significant effect on economic conditions in the United States, and continues to cause significant uncertainties in the U.S. and global economies, particularly as a result of a new Delta variant of COVID-19, which appears to be causing an increase in COVID-19 cases. Public health officials and medical professionals have warned that a resurgence of COVID-19 cases may continue, particularly if vaccination rates do not quickly increase or if additional, potent variants emerge. It is unclear how long a resurgence may last, how severe it may be, and what safety measures governments may impose in response to it.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations and financial results depends, and will continue to depend, on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 began and public and private sector measures to reduce its transmission were implemented, such as the imposition of social distancing and orders to work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place, the demand for certain of the services the Company offers was adversely affected resulting in decreased revenues and cash flows.
One of our subsidiaries operates in the food and hospitality sector, which was negatively impacted by the orders to either suspend or reduce operations of restaurants and hotels. Similarly, another subsidiary represents talent, such as actors, directors and producers, and revenues from these clients was negatively impacted by the suspension of content production. The television and streaming consumption around the globe has increased since the outbreak of COVID-19, as well as the demand for consumer products. Revenues from the marketing of these shows and products somewhat offset the decrease in revenue from the sectors discussed above. Between April 19, 2020 and April 23, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries received five separate unsecured loans for an aggregate amount of $2.8 million (the “PPP Loans”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Through our acquisition of Be Social, the Company assumed a PPP Loan of $304,169. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments and covered utilities during the measurement period beginning on the date of first disbursement of the PPP Loans. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount can be attributable to non-payroll costs. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the PPP Loans and qualifying for the forgiveness of the PPP Loans based on its adherence to the forgiveness criteria. Throughout 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries applied for forgiveness of all PPP Loans received. On June 28, 2021, the Company was notified that the SBA had approved our application to forgive the entire amount of the loans for 42West and Dolphin, which in aggregate amounted to $1.1 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company was notified that the SBA had approved our application to forgive the entire amount of the loans for Viewpoint and Shore Fire, which in aggregate amounted to $0.8 million. In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loans relating to The Door and Be Social; which are still outstanding as of the date of this quarterly report on form 10-Q.
Depending on the extent and duration of the pandemic and the related economic impacts, COVID-19 may continue to impact our business and financial results, as well as significant judgments and estimates, including those related to goodwill and other asset impairments and allowances for doubtful accounts.

(“Dolphin Films”), Dolphin SB Productions LLC, Dolphin Max Steel Holdings, LLC (“Max Steel Holdings”), Dolphin JB Believe Financing, LLC, Dolphin JOAT Productions, LLC, 42West, The Door, Viewpoint, Shore Fire, Be Social and B/HI.
The Company enters into relationships or investments with other entities, and in certain instances, the entity in which the Company has a relationship or investment may qualify as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is consolidated in the financial statements if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has included JB Believe, LLC formed on December 4, 2012 in the State of Florida in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as a VIE.
On November 23, 2020, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the authorized, issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on November 27, 2020 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock was reduced from 200,000,000 shares to 40,000,000. The par value per share of Common Stock remains unchanged. As a result, each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remained unchanged. Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. All references to Common Stock or common stock price in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2021, and it results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. |

Reclassifications have been made to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to conform to classifications used in 2021.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to estimates of sales returns and other allowances, provisions for doubtful accounts and impairment assessments for goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates.
Additionally, the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, management has made appropriate accounting estimates on certain accounting matters, which include the allowance for doubtful accounts, carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets, carrying amount of certain convertible notes payable and embedded derivatives and warrant liabilities, based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s financial statements in future reporting periods.

| Update to Significant Accounting Policies | Update to Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting ASU 2020-06 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is discussed below. There were no significant changes to our accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Convertible Notes
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06 that simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 (i) reduced the number of accounting models for convertible instruments, by eliminating the models that require separation of cash conversion or beneficial conversion features from the host and (ii) revised derivative scope exception and (iii) provided targeted improvements for EPS. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s outstanding convertible debt instruments as of June 30, 2021.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Guidance Adopted
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06—Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The guidance simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach without a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and amending certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. This amended guidance was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2021 without a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on measurement of credit losses (ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments) with subsequent amendments issued in November 2018 (ASU 2018-19) and April 2019 (ASU 2019-04). This update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities and requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. It is applicable to trade accounts receivable. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

| Reverse stock split description | the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the authorized, issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on November 27, 2020 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock was reduced from 200,000,000 shares to 40,000,000. The par value per share of Common Stock remains unchanged. As a result, each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remained unchanged. Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. All references to Common Stock or common stock price in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. | |||
