The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Company's Business

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Company’s Business

The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material effect on the Company's business, from either an operational or financial perspective, during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Subject to the extent and duration of possible resurgences of the pandemic from time to time and the continuing uncertain economic environment that has resulted, in part, from the pandemic, the Company anticipates that the pandemic will continue to have little or no material effect on its business, from either an operational or financial perspective, in future periods. Nonetheless, the Company cannot give any assurance whether a resurgence of the pandemic in any location where its operations have employees or in which it operates would not adversely affect its operations and/or results of operations.

Restricted Cash

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s balance sheet includes $0.8 million in restricted cash, which was deposited into a separate account as collateral for the Company’s letters of credit.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, was as follows (in thousands):


	As of
	March 31,
	2023		2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	141,455	$	126,574
Restricted cash		757		749
Total as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	$	142,212	$	127,323

Related Party

Substantially all of the Company’s television stations are Univision- or UniMás-affiliated television stations. The network affiliation agreement with TelevisaUnivision provides certain of the Company’s owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast TelvisaUnivision’s primary Univision network and UniMás network programming in their respective markets. Under the network affiliation agreement, the Company retains the right to sell no less than four minutes per hour of the available advertising time on stations that broadcast Univision network programming, and the right to sell approximately four and a half minutes per hour of the available advertising time on stations that broadcast UniMás network programming, subject to adjustment from time to time by TelevisaUnivision.

Under the network affiliation agreement, TelevisaUnivision acts as the Company’s exclusive third-party sales representative for the sale of certain national advertising on the Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations, and the Company pays certain sales representation fees to TelevisaUnivision relating to sales of all advertising for broadcast on its Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the amount the Company paid TelevisaUnivision in this capacity was $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. These amounts were included in Direct Operating Expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also generates revenue under two marketing and sales agreements with TelevisaUnivision, which give it the right to manage the marketing and sales operations of TelevisaUnivision-owned Univision affiliates in three markets – Albuquerque, Boston and Denver.

Under the Company’s current proxy agreement with TelevisaUnivision, the Company grants TelevisaUnivision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for its Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to the Company by TelevisaUnivision with

respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with multichannel video programming distributors, (“MVPDs”). As of March 31, 2023, the amount due to the Company from TelevisaUnivision was $6.4 million related to the agreements for the carriage of its Univision and UniMás-affiliated television station signals. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, retransmission consent revenue accounted for $9.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of which $6.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, relate to the TelevisaUnivision proxy agreement.

On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into the current affiliation agreement with TelevisaUnivision, which superseded and replaced the Company's prior affiliation agreements with TelevisaUnivision. Additionally, on the same date, the Company entered into the current proxy agreement and current marketing and sales agreements with TelevisaUnivision, each of which superseded and replaced the prior comparable agreements with TelevisaUnivision. The term of each of these current agreements expires on December 31, 2026 for all of the Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations, except that each current agreement expired on December 31, 2021 with respect to the Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations in Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C.

TelevisaUnivision currently owns approximately 11% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-converted basis. The Company’s Class U common stock, all of which is held by TelevisaUnivision, has limited voting rights and does not include the right to elect directors. Each share of Class U common stock is automatically convertible into one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or combinations) in connection with any transfer of such shares of Class U common stock to a third party that is not an affiliate of TelevisaUnivision. In addition, as the holder of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class U common stock, so long as TelevisaUnivision holds a certain number of shares of Class U common stock, the Company may not, without the consent of TelevisaUnivision, merge, consolidate or enter into a business combination, dissolve or liquidate the Company or dispose of any interest in any Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) license with respect to television stations which are affiliates of TelevisaUnivision, among other things.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures all stock-based awards using a fair value method and recognizes the related stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Stock-based compensation expense was $4.1 million and $2.6 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally between 1 to 4 years.

The following is a summary of non-vested restricted stock units granted (in thousands, except grant date fair value data):


	Three-Month Period
	Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Restricted stock units granted		3,614	53
Weighted average fair value	$	6.63	$	6.06

The 2023 restricted stock units reflect the annual grant for fiscal year 2023. In previous years, the annual grant was typically in December of the same year.

As of March 31, 2023, there was $29.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to grants of restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

Income (Loss) Per Share

The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Diluted shares outstanding		89,786,585		88,630,216

Per share:
Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders	$	0.02	$	0.02

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, a total of 1,870,073 shares of dilutive securities were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise prices of the dilutive securities were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, a total of 17,411 shares of dilutive securities were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise prices of the dilutive securities were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Treasury Stock

On March 1, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase of up to $20 million of the Company's common stock. Under this share repurchase program, the Company is authorized to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors. On the same date, the Board terminated the Company's previous share repurchase program of up to $45 million of the Company's common stock.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has repurchased a total of 1.8 million shares of its Class A common stock under the current share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $11.3 million, or an average price per share of $6.43. All such repurchased shares were retired as of March 31, 2023.

Treasury stock is included as a deduction from equity in the Stockholders’ Equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Shares repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program are retired during the same calendar year.

2017 and 2023 Credit Facility

2017 Credit Facility

The following discussion pertains to the Company’s previous credit facility (the "2017 Credit Facility") and the agreement, as amended (the “2017 Credit Agreement”), governing the 2017 Credit Facility. It does not purport to be a complete discussion of the full terms and conditions of the 2017 Credit Facility or the 2017 Credit Agreement. For more information, please refer to the 2017 Credit Agreement itself.

The 2017 Credit Agreement was amended and restated as of March 17, 2023, when the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2023 Credit Agreement"), establishing its current credit facility (the "2023 Credit Facility"). A discussion of the 2023 Credit Facility and the 2023 Credit Agreement follows this discussion.

On November 30, 2017 (the “2017 Closing Date”), the Company entered into the 2017 Credit Facility pursuant to the 2017 Credit Agreement. The 2017 Credit Facility consisted of a $300.0 million senior secured Term Loan B Facility (the “Term Loan B

Facility”), which was drawn in full on the 2017 Closing Date. In addition, the 2017 Credit Facility provided that the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Credit Facility by up to an additional $100.0 million plus the amount that would result in its first lien net leverage ratio (as such term is used in the 2017 Credit Agreement) not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions.

Borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility were used on the 2017 Closing Date (a) to repay in full all of the outstanding obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Company’s previous credit facility and to terminate the credit agreement relating thereto, (b) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the 2017 Credit Facility, and (c) for general corporate purposes.

The 2017 Credit Facility was guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and was secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and those subsidiaries’ assets.

The Company’s borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility bore interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus 2.75%; or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus 1.75%. As of March 16, 2023, the interest rate on the Company's Term Loan B was 7.38%. The Term Loan B Facility had an expiration date on November 30, 2024 (the “Original Maturity Date”).

The amounts outstanding under the 2017 Credit Facility could be prepaid at the Company’s option without premium or penalty, provided that certain limitations were observed, and subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of a LIBOR rate loan. The principal amount of the Term Loan B Facility was to be paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts set forth in the 2017 Credit Agreement, with the final balance due on the Original Maturity Date.

As further discussed below, on March 17, 2023, the Company repaid in full all of the outstanding obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement and accounted for this repayment as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with ASC 470, "Debt". The repayment resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.6 million, which included a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in the amount of $1.1 million.

2023 Credit Facility

The following discussion pertains to the 2023 Credit Facility and the 20237 Credit Agreement. It does not purport to be a complete discussion of the full terms and conditions of the 2023 Credit Facility or the 2023 Credit Agreement. For more information, please refer to the 2023 Credit Agreement itself.

On March 17, 2023 (the “2023 Closing Date”), the Company entered into the 2023 Credit Facility, pursuant to the 2023 Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and the other financial institutions party thereto as Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually each a “Lender”).

As provided for in the 2023 Credit Agreement, the 2023 Credit Facility consists of (i) a $200,000,000 senior secured Term A Facility (the "Term A Facility"), which was drawn in full on the 2023 Closing Date, and (ii) a $75,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), of which $11,500,000 was drawn on the 2023 Closing Date. In addition, the 2023 Credit Agreement provides that the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Credit Facility by an additional amount equal to $100,000,000 plus the amount that would result in the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio (as such term is used in the 2023 Credit Agreement) not exceeding 2.25 to 1.0, subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions.

Borrowings under the 2023 Credit Facility were used on the 2023 Closing Date (a) to repay in full all of the outstanding obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2017 Credit Facility, (b) to pay fees and expenses in connection the 2023 Credit Facility and (c) for general corporate purposes. The 2023 Credit Facility matures on March 17, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”).

The 2023 Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and those subsidiaries’ assets.

The Company’s borrowings under the 2023 Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Term SOFR (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 2.50% and 3.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2023 Credit

Agreement) plus a margin between 1.50% and 2.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. In addition, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a rate per annum between 0.30% and 0.40%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio.

As of March 31, 2023, the interest rate on the Company's Term A Facility and the drawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 7.66%.

The amounts outstanding under the 2023 Credit Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, provided that certain limitations are observed, and subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of a Term SOFR loan. The principal amount of the Term A Facility shall be paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts set forth in the 2023 Credit Agreement, with the final balance due on the Maturity Date.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.3 million associated with the 2023 Credit Facility. Debt outstanding under the 2023 Credit Facility is presented net of issuance costs on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The debt issuance costs are amortized on an effective interest basis over the term of the 2023 Credit Facility, and are included in interest expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Subject to certain exceptions, the 2023 Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:

•

incur certain liens on its property or assets;

•

make certain investments;

•

incur certain additional indebtedness;

•

consummate any merger, dissolution, liquidation, consolidation or sale of substantially all assets;

•

•

make prepayments of any subordinated indebtedness, subject to certain conditions;

•

The 2023 Credit Facility also requires compliance with financial covenants related to total net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio (calculated as set forth in the 2023 Credit Agreement).

The 2023 Credit Agreement includes the following events of default and certain other customary events of default:

•

any revocation, termination, substantial and adverse modification, or refusal by final order to renew, any media license, or the requirement (by final non-appealable order) to sell a television or radio station, where any such event or failure is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect;

•

the interruption of operations of any television or radio station for more than 96 consecutive hours during any period of seven consecutive days;

•

any material provision of any agreement or instrument governing the 2023 Credit Facility ceases to be in full force and effect;

•

a change of control of the Company; or

•

the failure to create, or the cessation of, any liens contemplated by the 2023 Credit Agreement.

The security agreement that the Company entered into with respect to its 2017 Credit Facility remains in effect with respect to its 2023 Credit Facility.

The carrying amount of the Term Loan A Facility as of March 31, 2023 approximated its fair value and was $198.7 million, net of $1.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company believes that it is in compliance with all covenants in the 2023 Credit Agreement.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Trade Receivables

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. From time to time, the Company has had, and may have, bank deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. As of March 31, 2023, the majority of all U.S. deposits are maintained in two financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. In addition, to the Company's knowledge, all of the bank deposits held in banks outside of the United States are not insured.

The Company’s credit risk is spread across a large number of customers in the United States, Latin America, Asia and various other countries, therefore spreading the trade receivable credit risk. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that it is managing its trade receivable credit risk effectively. Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for known and anticipated credit losses, as determined by management in the course of regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. This evaluation takes into consideration of a customer’s financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.

Aggregate receivables from the largest five advertisers represented 9% and 2% of total trade receivables as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. No single advertiser represents more than 5% of the total trade receivables.

Revenue from the largest advertiser represented 12% and 18% of total revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This advertiser pays on a frequent basis and management does not believe this concentration of credit represents a significant risk to the Company. No other advertiser represented more than 5% of the total revenue.

Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the consolidated financial statements through a charge to expense that aggregated $0.9 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net charge off of bad debts aggregated $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Dependence on Global Media Companies

The Company is dependent on the continued commercial agreements with, as well as the financial and business strength of, the global media companies for which the Company acts as a commercial partner in the digital segment, as well as the companies from which it obtains programming in the television and audio segments. The Company could be at risk should any of these entities fail to perform their respective obligations to the Company or terminate their relationship with the Company. This in turn could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue related to a single media company for which the Company acts as a commercial partner represented 51% and 53% of the Company's total revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company expects that this dependence will continue. Based on communications with this media company, the Company anticipates receiving a lower rate of payment on the Company's sales made on behalf of this company beginning in the second half of 2023, resulting in lower margins.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date.

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below.

Level 1 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar attributes in active markets; quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):


	March 31, 2023

The Company’s money market account is comprised of cash and cash equivalents, which are recorded at their fair market value within Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s available for sale debt securities are comprised of corporate bonds and notes, asset-backed securities, and U.S. Government securities. The majority of the carrying value of these securities held by the Company are investment grade. These securities are valued using quoted prices for similar attributes in active markets (Level 2). Since these investments are classified as available for sale, they are recorded at their fair market value within Marketable securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and their unrealized gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available for sale securities are included in the Condensed Statements of Operations and were determined on a specific identification basis.

As of March 31, 2023, the following table summarizes the amortized cost and the unrealized gains (losses) of the available for sale securities (in thousands):



	Corporate Bonds and Notes					Asset-Backed Securities					U.S. Government securities
	Amortized Cost		Unrealized gains (losses)			Amortized Cost		Unrealized gains (losses)			Amortized Cost		Unrealized gains (losses)

Total	$	37,146	$	(665	)	$	1,153	$	(1	)	$	734	$	-

The Company’s available for sale debt securities are considered for credit losses under the guidance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined that a credit loss allowance is not required.

Included in interest income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was interest income related to the Company’s available for sale securities of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

The fair value of the contingent consideration is related to the acquisitions of:

•

the remaining 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of a digital advertising solutions company that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name Cisneros Interactive ("Cisneros Interactive");

•

100% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of a digital advertising solutions company in Southeast Asia that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name MediaDonuts ("MediaDonuts"); and

•

100% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of a digital advertising solutions company headquartered in South Africa, that, together with its subsidiaries, does business under the name 365 Digital ("365 Digital").

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by applying the real options approach using level 3 inputs as further discussed in Note 7. The following table presents the changes in the contingent consideration (in millions):


	Three-Month Period
	Ended March 31,
	2023			2022

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” and the related rate fluctuation on transactions is included in the consolidated statements of operations.

For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the respective local currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and equity and long term assets are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive (income) loss.

Based on recent data reported by the International Monetary Fund, Argentina has been identified as a country with a highly inflationary economy. According to GAAP, a registrant should apply highly inflationary accounting in the first reporting period after such determination. Therefore, the Company transitioned the accounting for its Argentine operations to highly inflationary status as of July 1, 2018 and, commencing that date, changed the functional currency from the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue related to the Company’s digital segment consists primarily of the costs of online media acquired from third-party media companies.

Assets Held For Sale

Assets are classified as held for sale when the carrying value is expected to be recovered through a sale rather than through their continued use and all of the necessary classification criteria have been met. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less selling costs and classified as current assets. Depreciation is not recorded on assets classified as held for sale.

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or ASC 810, “Consolidation,” the Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (a "VIE"). An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics:(1) the entity has insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (2) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (3) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that the Company is the primary beneficiary of such entity.

In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; and the significance of the Company’s investment and other means of participation in the VIE’s expected profits/losses. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis.

Based on the foregoing, the Company has determined that Adsmurai, S.L. (“Adsmurai”) and Jack of Digital Holdings, Inc. ("Jack of Digital") are both VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary, and therefore accounted for the consolidation under the provisions of ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. See Note 8 for more details.
