PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Due to the circumstances described herein, Vinco Ventures, Inc. (f/k/a Edison Nation, Inc.) (the “Registrant”) is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 within the prescribed time period. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in the Registrant’s normal interactions with its auditors and accountants. More specifically, Registrant’s CFO, CEO, CSO and Controller contracted the Covid-19 virus resulting in delays in the completion of Registrant’s financial statements for review by its auditors. In addition, the Company had significant accounting analyses which were required in connection with two capital raises in the aggregate amount of $22,000,000, the divestiture of its Cloud B brand, and the extinguishment of debt. Due to these conditions, the Registrant’s ability to complete and file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 prior to its due date was greatly hindered.

The Registrant currently anticipates that its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 will be filed as soon as practicable, and no later than five calendar days following its prescribed due date.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

Christopher B. Ferguson		(866)		900-0992
(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes [X] No [ ]

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes [X] No [ ]

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Registrant’s divestitures of the Cloud B brand in April 2021 and SRM Entertainment Limited in November 2020 required the Company to report those operations as discontinued operations, and therefore, the previously reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations.

Registrant’s results of continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 will reflect significant changes due to the divestures and reclassification referenced above. Registrant had approximately $2.6 million, $1.6 million and $0.9 million in revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to approximately $2.0 million, $1.4 million and $0.6 million in revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (as reclassified). The increase in revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit was primarily due to increased revenues from Honey Badger and the Registrant’s packaging business. There was a significant increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (as reclassified) in operating expenses due to recognition of stock-based compensation in the March 31, 2021 quarter and a significant increase in interest expense due to the increased borrowings of $22,000,000 related to the issuance of convertible debt with warrants and beneficial conversion features, resulting in a significant net loss for the quarter.
