2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the requirements of the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires single reporting entities to comply with the expanded reportable segment disclosures outlined in the ASU. The expanded reportable segment disclosures are intended to enhance certain disclosures surrounding significant segment expenses.

 

The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) reviews and assesses performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer have joint responsibility as the CODM and review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole.

 

The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss). The CODM uses net income (loss) and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and as part of the Company’s internal planning and forecasting processes. Information on net income (loss) and operating income (loss) is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODM on the same basis as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets, and therefore such information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements.

 

As the Company is a single-segment business, the adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard requires entities to disclose additional information about certain expenses, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, as well as selling expenses included in commonly presented expense captions on the income statement. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Companies have the option to apply this guidance either on a retrospective or prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the most significant accounting estimate inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements was the evaluation of goodwill for impairment.

  

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards and Codifications (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue from contracts with customers was historically recognized when control of the promised services was transferred to the customers in an amount that reflected the consideration the Company expected to receive in exchange for those services. Sales tax was excluded from reported revenue. The Company elected the practical expedient allowable by the guidance to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that had an original expected duration of one year or less.

 

Subscription Revenue

 

The Company historically generated subscription revenue primarily from monthly premium subscription services. Subscription revenues are presented net of refunds, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, subscriptions were offered in durations of one-, six- twelve- and twenty four-month terms. All subscription fees, however, were paid by credit card at the origination of the subscription regardless of the term of the subscription. Revenues from multi-month subscriptions were recognized on a straight-line basis over the period where the service was offered to the customer, indicated by length of the subscription term purchased. The unearned portion of subscription revenue is presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue attributed to continuing operations at December 31, 2023 was $544,442, and deferred revenue attributed to discontinued operation at December 31, 2023 was $1,498,920, the total of $2,043,362 which was subsequently recognized as subscription revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024. The ending balance of deferred revenue at December 31, 2024 related to subscription revenue from continuing operations was $555,039 and deferred revenue related to discontinued operations was $1,596,199 for a total of $2,151,238.

 

In addition, the Company offered virtual gifts to its users during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Users could purchase credits in $5, $10 or $20 increments that can be redeemed for a host of virtual gifts such as a rose, a beer or a car, among other items. These gifts were given among users to enhance communication and were typically redeemed within 30 days of purchase. Upon purchase, the virtual gifts were credited to the users’ account and were under the users’ control. Virtual gift revenue was recognized upon the users’ redemption of virtual gifts at the fixed transaction price and included in subscription revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Virtual gift revenue is presented as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets until virtual gifts are redeemed. Virtual gift revenue was $3,017,047 and $4,522,461 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The ending balance of deferred revenue from virtual gifts at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $673,874 and $374,696, respectively. These amounts are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented as they relate to revenue from the Transferred Assets.

 

The accounts receivable amount is related to amounts due in connection with advertising revenue. At December 31, 2024, approximately 50% of the Company’s accounts receivable was from four customers. At December 31, 2023, approximately 31% of the Company’s accounts receivable was from three customers.

 

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

 

Basic earnings and net (loss) income per share was computed by dividing the net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Diluted earnings per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method). To the extent stock options were antidilutive, they were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, as well as certain other short term treasury bills, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As part of its cash management process, the Company periodically reviews the relative credit standing of these banks. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (as amended by ASU 2017-04), by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test, if, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances such as those described in paragraph ASC 350-20-35-3C(a) through (g), the Company determines that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeded the reporting unit’s fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill related to the reporting unit.

 

The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if there are indicators that the fair value of the goodwill exceeds its carrying amount. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company received stockholder approval for the sale of the Transferred Assets at its special meeting of stockholders held on December 30, 2024. On December 31, 2024, following its special meeting of stockholders, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and concluded that $3.7 million was impaired as of December 31, 2024 and is included in the loss from discontinued operations.

  

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred taxes in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Accrued interest and penalties would be included on the related tax liability line in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company’s policy for global intangible low-taxed income is to treat, as a period cost, when incurred.

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s acquired amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2024 primarily consisted of the ManyCam assets acquired in June 2022, which consist of internally developed software, intellectual property (trade names, trademarks and URLs) and subscriber relationships/customer lists.

 

The Company’s intangible assets represent definite lived intangible assets, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Patents   20 years 
Trade names, trademarks, product names, URLs   5-10 years 
Internally developed software   5-7 years 
Non-compete agreements   3 years 
Subscriber/customer relationships   3-12 years 

 

The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. No impairments were recorded on intangible assets, as no impairment indicators were noted, for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
