Description of the Business	Note 1 – Description of the Business Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on May 4, 2016. We operate video-on-demand networks and are a leading global independent television and film distribution company with one of the largest independently owned television and film libraries. The Company operates and is managed by the Company CEO Mr. William J. Rouhana, Jr, as one reportable segment, the production and distribution of video content. The Company currently operates in the United States and internationally and derives its revenue primarily in the United States. The Company has a presence in over 56 countries and territories worldwide. Financial Condition and Liquidity As of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $32.7 million and for the year ended December 31, 2019, we had a net loss of $35.0 million. We do not expect to continue to incur net losses at this level in the foreseeable future. We have evaluated our current financial condition and have determined that the losses incurred in the current year are not indicative of our ongoing operations. 2019 has been a transformative year for our Company led by the launch of our new streaming video on demand service Crackle Plus which amalgamated each of our video on demand platforms. This strategic shift in our business has made us one of the largest providers of free AVOD services in the United States and shifted our business focus. With this shift and growth, we realized significant non-recurring acquisition and transitional related expenses to integrate our Crackle Plus Network in the 2019 operating year. In addition, the Company realized a significant portion of expenses related to non-cash items including intangible amortization expenses related to our acquired business and stock compensation. These expenses accounted for 64% of our total loss for the fiscal year. The Company does not expect operating expenses will remain at this level in future periods. We believe that cash flow from operations, cash on hand, and the monetization of trade accounts receivable, together with equity and debt offerings, if necessary, should be adequate to meet our operational cash and debt service requirements (i.e., principal and interest payments) for the foreseeable future. We monitor our cash flow liquidity, availability, capital base, operational spending and leverage ratios with the long-term goal of maintaining our credit worthiness.
