Basis
of Presentation
|
|
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, and reflect all adjustments that are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the periods presented. The financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim
financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. It is the opinion of management that the financial
statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2020, are not indicative of the
results expected for the entire fiscal year.

Description
of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
|
|
Organization
VidAngel,
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 13,
2013, as a Utah limited liability company. On February 7, 2014, the
Company converted to a Delaware corporation. The Company has
developed, and sells, the most widely used filtering technology
available, that gives customers the unprecedented ability to remove
objectionable content from motion pictures they watch in their own
homes. The Company also produces its own original comedy series for
fun and family-friendly laughs, and licenses and distributes
content produced by others.
|
|
|
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates. Key management estimates include the
estimated economic useful lives of property and equipment,
estimated useful lives of the movie asset based on the estimated
economic useful life to the estimated salvage value, valuation
allowances for net deferred income tax assets, and valuation of
stock-based compensation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities to the Company of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. As of June 30, 2020, these cash equivalents consisted
of money market accounts.
Holdback Receivable
During
2019, one of the Company’s credit card processing vendors
required a holdback reserve to be established. The balance of the
holdback receivable as of June 30, 2020, was $0.
|
|
Physical Media Inventory
Physical
media inventory consists of discs, purchased for resale, for The
Chosen tv series. Physical media inventory is recorded at average
cost. The Company periodically reviews the physical media inventory
for excess supply, obsolesce, and valuations above estimated
realization amounts, and provides a reserve to cover these items.
Management determined that no allowance for physical media
inventory was necessary as of June 30, 2020.
Movie Asset
Movie
asset includes DVD and Blu-Ray discs purchased by the Company for
resale, not in excess of realizable value. Movie inventory is
recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
economic useful life of five years. Movie inventory is depreciated
over the estimated economic useful life to the estimated salvage
value. The Company periodically reviews inventories for excess
supply, obsolescence, and valuations above estimated realizable
amounts, and provides a reserve to cover these items. Management
determined that no allowance for obsolete inventory was necessary
as of June 30, 2020.
|
|
|
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
economic useful lives of the assets or over the related lease terms
(if shorter) as follows:
|
Office
and computer equipment
|
3
years
|

Description

|
|
Property and Equipment (continued)
Expenditures
that materially increase values or capacities or extend useful
lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine
maintenance, repairs, and renewal costs are expensed as incurred.
Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and
accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the
related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement
of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews its property and equipment, and other long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. If
it is determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, an
impairment loss is recognized in the statements of operations for
the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the
asset. Management does not consider any of the Company’s
assets to be impaired as of June 30, 2020.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of
promised products or services. The amount of revenue recognized
reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled
to receive in exchange for these products or services. To achieve
the core principle of Topic 606, the Company applies the following
five steps: 1) Identify the contract with the customer; 2) Identify
the performance obligations in the contract; 3) Determine the
transaction price; 4) Allocate the transaction price to performance
obligations in the contract; and 5) Recognize revenue when or as
the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Filtering Subscription Revenue
Post-injunction
on December 29, 2016, the Company offers subscriptions to use its
proprietary content filtering technology in conjunction with many
of today’s popular streaming services for a monthly fee.
Customers subscribe for this service online through the
Company’s website. The customer is charged the full price at
the start of the subscription period, and monthly thereafter, which
amount is initially recognized as deferred revenue and recognized
as revenue daily as the subscription service is provided. During
the time that the customer owns a subscription, the Company gives
the customer access to a patented video streaming technology that
permits the customer to direct their individual viewing experience
by allowing them to remove certain audio or video segments that
contain material that may be considered objectionable by a member
of the private household to use in conjunction with
other popular video streaming platforms. Access to this technology
is available during the entire period of the subscription, and is
extinguished at the end of the subscription period in which the
customer cancels their subscription. Any incentive allowances
provided to customers such as credits and free subscription periods
are recorded as reductions of revenue. Filtering subscription
revenue is recognized over time, typically in daily increments as
the customers pay on a monthly basis.

Revenue Recognition (continued)
Digital and Physical Media Revenue
The
Company partnered with The Chosen, LLC, or The Chosen, an
independent filmmaker, to distribute The Chosen’s licensed
original content and related merchandise. Digital delivery
represents streaming-based delivery of The Chosen’s content
via the Company’s service. Physical media represents Blu-Ray
or DVD discs of The Chosen’s content. Revenue is recognized
as products are delivered upon streaming, or upon shipment of
physical media. Digital and physical media revenue is recognized at
a point in time – when streamed digitally, or when physically
shipped.
Content Licensing
The
Company receives content licensing revenue by publishing short
versions of its original content (from the Dry Bar Comedy series
– see description below) on third-party websites (such as
Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon). The Company grants the third-party
websites a license to display the Company’s original content
to the customers of the third-party websites. The third-party
websites are interested in increasing traffic on their websites,
and the third-party websites pay the Company based on impressions
delivered, or the number of actions, such as clicks, taken by users
viewing the Company’s content via the third-party websites.
The Company recognizes revenue in the period in which the
impressions or actions occur, at a point in time. The third-party
websites provide the Company monthly reports of the Company’s
advertising revenue.
Ticket Revenue and Concession Revenue
The
Company created Dry Bar Comedy, an ongoing stand-up comedy series
that the Company films. The Company sells ticket to the live
stand-up comedy events. Revenue is recognized at the conclusion of
the event, at a point in time.
The
Company also sells concessions at these events, and revenue from
concessions is recognized when the concessions are purchased, at a
point in time.

Revenue Recognition (continued)
Rental Revenue
Rental
revenues are amounts received from customers in order to access
specific content for a limited amount of time, typically 24 hours.
This essentially represents 24-hour use of the Company’s
subscription service to access one specific item of content.
Revenue is recognized upon the completion of the 24-hour period, at
a point in time.
Tip Revenue
The
Company receives tips from customers who wished to show
appreciation to the Company and the content providers from the
content they created. Most of the tips are received from customers
who subscribe to the Company’s subscription service, and who
viewed a Dry Bar Comedy show via the subscription filtering service
and enjoyed the comedian’s performance. The Company
recognizes revenue from tips on a gross basis. Content providers
receive a portion of all revenues attributed to their content which
is included in cost of revenues. Revenue is recognized in the
period the tips were received, at a point in time.
Advertising
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses totaled
$3,386,867 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
|
Litigation
The Company is
involved in legal proceedings from time to time arising in the
normal course of business. The Company has received, and may
in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties.
Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that
the outcome of these proceedings may have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity.
|
|
Litigation
is necessary to defend the Company. The results of any current or
future complex litigation matters cannot be predicted with
certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an
adverse impact because of defense and settlement costs, distraction
of management and resources, and other factors. Additionally, these
matters may change in the future as the litigation and factual
discovery unfolds. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. Insurance
recoveries associated with legal costs incurred are recorded when
they are deemed probable of recovery.
|
|
|
The
Company assesses whether there is a reasonable possibility that a
loss, or additional losses beyond those already accrued, may be
incurred (“Material Loss”). If there is a reasonable
possibility that a Material Loss may be incurred, the Company
discloses an estimate or range of the amount of loss, either
individually or in the aggregate, or discloses that an estimate of
loss cannot be made. If a Material Loss occurs due to an
unfavorable outcome in any legal matter, this may have an adverse
effect on the financial position, results of operations, and
liquidity of the Company. The Company records a provision for each
liability when determined to be probable, and the amount of the
loss may be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed
annually and adjusted as additional information becomes
available.
The
Company is involved in various litigation matters and believes that
any reasonably possible adverse outcome of these matters could
potentially be material, either individually or in the aggregate,
to the Company’s financial position, results of operations
and liquidity. Management has determined an adverse outcome on one
or more of the claims is both probable, and estimable, and has
accrued the estimated losses related to these matters.
In the
matter of Disney Enterprises, Inc. and several other content owners
(collectively, the Plaintiffs), on March 6, 2019, the United States
District Court for the Central District of California (California
Court) granted the Plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary
judgement as to liability. The order found that the Company is
liable for infringing the copyrights, and violating the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), with respect to certain motion
pictures of the Plaintiffs’. Damages related to the
respective copyright infringements, and DMCA violations, were
decided by a jury trial in June 2019. The jury found that the
Company willfully infringed the Plaintiffs’copyrights and
awarded statutory damages of $75,000 for each of the 819 infringed
works, for a total of $61,425,000. The jury also rejected the
Company’s argument that its violations of the DMCA were
innocent and awarded the Plaintiffs’ statutory damages of
$1,250 for each of the 819 infringed works, for a total of
$1,023,750. The total award for both counts is
$62,448,750.
On
August 26, 2020, The Company and the Plaintiffs signed a settlement
agreement and agreed on a joint plan of reorganization that will
