Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

LiveOne, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our”, the “Company” or “LiveOne”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. The Company is a creator-first, music, entertainment and technology platform focused on delivering premium experiences and content worldwide through memberships, live and virtual events.

The Company was reincorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2017, pursuant to a reincorporation merger of Loton, Corp (“Loton”) with and into LiveXLive Media, Inc., Loton’s wholly owned subsidiary at the time. As a result of the reincorporation merger, Loton ceased to exist as a separate entity, with LiveXLive Media, Inc. being the surviving entity. On December 29, 2017, the Company acquired Slacker, Inc. (“Slacker”), an Internet music and radio streaming service incorporated in the state of Delaware, and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of LiveOne. On February 5, 2020, the Company acquired (i) React Presents, LLC a Delaware limited liability company (“React Presents”), and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of LiveXLive Events, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and (ii) indirectly Spring Awakening, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of React Presents, a producer, promoter and manager of in person live music festivals and events. On July 1, 2020, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, LiveXLive PodcastOne, Inc., acquired PodcastOne, Inc. (formerly Courtside Group, Inc.) (“PodcastOne”). On December 22, 2020, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary LiveXLive Merchandising, Inc., acquired Custom Personalization Solutions, Inc. (“CPS”). Effective as of October 5, 2021, the Company changed its corporate name to "LiveOne, Inc." On October 17, 2021, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary LiveXLive PR, Inc., acquired Gramophone Media, Inc. ("Gramophone"). On February 28, 2023, the Company acquired a majority interest in Splitmind LLC and Drumify LLC. On September 8, 2023, PodcastOne completed a Qualified Event (as defined below) (its spin out from the Company to become a standalone publicly trading company) as a result of its direct listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market on such date (the "Direct Listing"). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, PodcastOne continues to be a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 1, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete audited financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Going Concern and Liquidity

The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have historically been its debt and equity issuances and its cash and cash equivalents (which cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounted to $6.3 million as of June 30, 2024). As reflected in its interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein, the Company has a history of losses, incurred a net loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and provided cash of $1.3 million in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and had a working capital deficiency of $22.5 million as of June 30, 2024. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that these financial statements are filed. The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

F- 5

Table of Contents

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to execute its growth strategy and on its ability to raise additional funds. The Company filed a new universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “New Shelf S-3”) with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 17, 2022. Under the New Shelf S-3, the Company has the ability to raise up to $150.0 million in cash from the sale of its equity, debt and/or other financial instruments. In May 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth Capital"), under which the Company may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25 million from time to time through Roth Capital acting as the Company's sales agent. As of the filing of this Quarterly Report, we have not sold any shares under such agreement. The uncertain market conditions may limit the Company’s ability to access capital, may reduce demand for its services and may negatively impact its ability to retain key personnel. Management may seek additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate the Company’s business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain terms that result in undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in case of equity and/or convertible debt financing. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient financing when needed, the Company may also have to reduce certain overhead costs through the reduction of salaries and other means and settle liabilities through negotiation. There can be no assurance that management’s attempts at any or all of these endeavors will be successful.

Principles of Consolidation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. Acquisitions are included in the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. The Company uses purchase accounting for its acquisitions, which results in all assets and liabilities of acquired businesses being recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company’s previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those previously disclosed in the consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K, other than those included below.

F- 6

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the United States of America (“US”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, the assigned value of acquired assets and assumed and contingent liabilities associated with business combinations and the related purchase price allocation, useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and other assets, inventory calculations and reserves, the fair value of the Company’s equity-based compensation awards and convertible debt and debenture instruments, fair values of derivatives, and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates compared to historical experience and trends, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. There is a reasonable possibility that actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial position and results of operations, specifically in assessing when the collectability of revenue related consideration is probable, and the impairment assessment of goodwill, indefinite lived assets or long-lived assets that are depreciated or amortized.

Segment Reporting

The Company presents the financial statements by segment in accordance with ASC Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) to provide investors with transparency into how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business. The Company determined the CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information and allocates resources across its one operating segments.

Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when an approved contract exists, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the collectability of substantially all of the consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its obligation by transferring control of the goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company uses the expected value method to estimate the value of variable consideration on advertising and with original equipment manufacturer contracts to include in the transaction price and reflect changes to such estimates in periods in which they occur. Variable consideration for these services is allocated to and recognized over the related time period such advertising and membership services are rendered as the amounts reflect the consideration the Company is entitled to and relate specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy its performance obligation. The amount of variable consideration included in revenue is limited to the extent that it is probable that the amount will not be subject to significant reversal when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Practical Expedients

The Company elected the practical expedient and recognized the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if any, as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less.

Gross Versus Net Revenue Recognition

The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction and is evaluated on a transaction by transaction basis. To the extent the Company acts as the principal, revenue is reported on a gross basis net of any sales tax from customers, when applicable. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on an evaluation of whether the Company controls the good or service prior to transfer to the customer. Where applicable, the Company has determined that it acts as the principal in all of its membership service, sponsorship, and merchandising streams and may act as principal or agent for its ticketing/live events, advertising and licensing revenue streams.

F- 7

Table of Contents

The Company’s revenue is principally derived from the following services:

Membership Services

Membership services revenue substantially consist of monthly to annual recurring membership fees, which are primarily paid in advance by credit card or through direct billings arrangements. The Company defers the portions of monthly to annual recurring membership fees collected in advance and recognizes them in the period earned. Membership revenue is recognized in the period of services rendered. The Company’s membership revenue consists of performance obligations that are satisfied over time. This has been determined based on the fact that the nature of services offered are membership based where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services provided regardless of whether the customer uses the services or not. As a result, the Company has concluded that the best measure of progress toward the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation over time is a time-based measure. The Company recognizes membership revenue straight-line through the membership period.

Membership Services consist of:

Direct member, mobile service provider and mobile app services

The Company generates revenue for membership services on both a direct basis and through memberships sold through certain third-party mobile service providers and mobile app services (collectively the “Mobile Providers”). For memberships sold through the Mobile Providers, the member executes an on-line agreement with Slacker outlining the terms and conditions between Slacker and the member upon purchase of the membership. The Mobile Providers promote the Slacker app through their e-store, process payments for memberships, and retain a percentage of revenue as a fee. The Company reports this revenue gross of the fee retained by the Mobile Providers, as the member is Slacker’s customer in the contract and Slacker controls the service prior to the transfer to the member. Membership revenues from monthly memberships sold directly through Mobile Providers are subject to such Mobile Providers’ refund or cancellation terms. Revenues from Mobile Providers are recognized net of any such adjustments for variable consideration, including refunds and other fees. The Company’s payment terms vary based on whether the membership is sold on a direct basis or through Mobile Providers. Memberships sold on a direct basis require payment before the services are delivered to the customer. The payment terms for memberships sold through Mobile Providers vary, but are generally payable within 30 days.

Third-Party Original Equipment Manufacturers

The Company generates revenue for membership services through memberships sold through a third-party Original Equipment Manufacturer (the “OEM”). For memberships sold through the OEM, the OEM executes an agreement with Slacker outlining the terms and conditions between Slacker and the OEM upon purchase of the membership. The OEM installs the Slacker app in their equipment and provides the Slacker service to the OEM’s customers. The monthly fee charged to the OEM is based upon a fixed rate per vehicle, multiplied by the variable number of total vehicles which have signed up for a paid membership. The number of customers, or the variable consideration, is reported by OEMs and resolved on a monthly basis. The Company’s payment terms with OEM are up to 30 days.

Advertising Revenue

Advertising revenue primarily consist of revenues generated from the sale of audio, video, and display advertising space to third-party advertising exchanges. Revenues are recognized based on delivery of impressions over the contract period to the third-party exchanges, either when an ad is placed for listening or viewing by a visitor or when the visitor “clicks through” on the advertisement. The advertising exchange companies report the variable advertising revenue performed on a monthly basis which represents the Company’s efforts to satisfy the performance obligation. Additionally, following the acquisition of PodcastOne, the Company began deriving revenue from podcast advertising. PodcastOne earns advertising revenues primarily for fees earned from advertisement placement purchased by the customer during the time the podcast is delivered to the viewing audience, under the terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable podcasting agreement calculated using impressions.

From time to time the Company enters into barter transactions involving advertising provided in exchange for goods and services. Revenue from barter transactions is recognized ratably over time based on the terms of the contract as delivery of impressions is performed on a consistent basis. Services received are charged to expense in the same manner. If delivery of impressions have occurred before the receipt of goods or services, a receivable is recorded. Barter revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $6.0 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Licensing Revenue

Licensing revenue primarily consists of sales of licensing rights to digitally stream the Company’s live music services. Licensing revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation by transferring control of the goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, which is typically when the live event has aired. Any license fees collected in advance of an event are deferred until the event airs. We report our licensing revenue on a gross basis as we act as the principal in the underlying transactions.

Sponsorship Revenue

Sponsorship revenue primarily consists of sales of sponsorship programs that provide sponsors with opportunities to reach the Company’s customers. Sponsorship revenue is recognized as the event airs. Any sponsorship fees collected in advance of the contract term (typically an event) are deferred until the event airs. The Company reports sponsorship revenue on a gross basis as the Company acts as the principal in the underlying transactions.

Merchandising Revenue

Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue and measures the transaction price net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Sales also include shipping and handling charges billed to customers, with the related freight costs included in cost of goods sold. Sales commissions are expensed as incurred and are recorded in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s customer contracts do not have a significant financing component due to their short durations, which are typically effective for one year or less and have payment terms that are generally 30 to 60 days. Wholesale revenue is generally recognized when products are shipped, depending on the applicable contract terms. The Company records a refund liability for expected returns based on prior returns history, recent trends, and projections for returns on sales in the current period. The refund liability at June 30, 2024 and 2023 was less than $0.1 million, respectively.

Ticket/Event Revenue

Ticket/Event revenue is primarily from the sale of tickets and promoter fees earned from venues or other co-promoters under one of several formulas, including a fixed guaranteed amount and/or a percentage of ticket sales or event profits.

Revenue from the promotion or production of an event is recognized at a point in time when the show occurs. Revenue collected in advance of the event is recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. Revenue collected from sponsorship agreements, which is not related to a single event, is classified as deferred revenue and recognized over the term of the agreement or operating season as the benefits are provided to the sponsor.

Revenue from the Company’s ticketing operations primarily consists of service fees charged at the time a ticket for an event is sold in either the primary or secondary markets, including both online pay-per-view ("PPV") tickets as well as ticket physically purchased through a ticket sale vendor. For primary tickets sold to the Company’s PPV and festival events the revenue for the associated ticket service charges collected in advance of the event is recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. For PPV arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, i.e. delivery of the online stream, sponsorships, digital meet and greet, or physical merchandise, the Company allocates the total contract consideration to each performance obligation using the standalone selling price. If the standalone selling price is not readily determinable, it is estimated using observable inputs including an adjusted market-based approach, expected cost plus margin, or the residual approach.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to addback dividends (declared or cumulative undeclared) applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of contingent shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive contingent shares, which primarily consist of stock options issued to employees, directors and consultants, restricted stock units, warrants issued to third parties and accounted for as equity instruments and convertible notes would be excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities such as our preferred stock. Under the two-class method, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the basic and diluted weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic net income per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs").

The treasury stock method is used to calculate the potentially dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs. The if-converted method is used to calculate the potentially dilutive effect of the Preferred Stock. In both methods, diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are adjusted to account for the impact of the assumed issuance of potential common shares that are dilutive, subject to dilution sequencing rules.

At June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 2,266,667 and 3,500,191 options outstanding, respectively, 1,706,292 and 1,670,965 restricted stock units outstanding, respectively, and 4,949,399 and none common stock warrants, respectively.

Non- Controlling Interest

The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights. Non-controlling interests represent third-party equity ownership interests in the Company’s consolidated entities. The amount of net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is disclosed in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains certain letters of credit agreements with its banking provider, which are secured by the Company’s cash for periods of less than one year. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had restricted cash of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Generally, it records specific reserves to reduce the amounts recorded to what it believes will be collected when a customer’s account ages beyond typical collection patterns, or the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations.

The Company believes that the credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large and established nature of its largest customers and the nature of its membership receivables. At June 30, 2024, the Company had one customer that made up 29% of the total accounts receivable balance. At June 30, 2023, the Company had one customer that made up 35% of the total accounts receivable balance.

The Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

Less: Allowance for credit losses		(1,005	)		(1,055	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	14,760		$	13,205

Inventories

Inventories, principally raw materials awaiting final customization process, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories are relieved on a first-in, first-out basis.

The carrying value of inventories is reduced for any excess and obsolete inventory. Excess and obsolete reductions are determined based on currently available information, including the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers and liquidations, and the age of inventory.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances at commercial banks. Cash balances commonly exceed the $250,000 amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to such cash and cash equivalents.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update is effective beginning with the Company’s 2024 fiscal year annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on April 1, 2024 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-09 beginning in the first quarter of 2026. ASU 2023-09 allows for adoption using either a prospective or retrospective transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Note 3 — Revenue

For some contracts, the Company may invoice up front for services recognized over time or for contracts in which the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally cover monthly payments. In the circumstances where the timing of invoicing differs from the timing of revenue recognition, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-50-14 and not provide disclosure of the amount and timing of performance obligations as the performance obligations are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives based on the pattern in which the economic benefits associated with the asset are expected to be consumed, which to date has approximated the straight-line method of amortization. The estimated useful lives for patents, content creator relationships, domain names, tradename and customer list are generally three to 15 years, one to two years, two to five years, seven to ten years and three to four years, respectively.

The Company’s amortization expense on its finite-lived intangible assets was $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.2 million and none for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was the result of the winding down of a podcast show acquired by PodcastOne.

Finder's Agreement

In September 2023, PodcastOne entered into a finder's fee arrangement pursuant to which it agreed to issue shares of PodcastOne common stock at a price of $8.00 per share (subject to adjustment in certain limited circumstances) as a finder’s fee to a certain third party podcast platform in the event certain former and/or current podcasts creators of such platform entered into new podcasting agreements with PodcastOne, with the amount of the fee to be based on the amount of revenues actually derived by PodcastOne from such podcasts during a predetermined period. Payments made to such third party attributed to PodcastOne entering into new podcast contracts were capitalized to content creator relationship intangibles. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company has capitalized $3.2 million of payments made to such third party. $1.8 million of the $3.2 million capitalized of payments made to such third party was paid with PodcastOne common stock.

Note 8 — PodcastOne Bridge Loan

PodcastOne’s Private Placement

On July 15, 2022, PodcastOne completed a private placement offering (the “PC1 Bridge Loan”) of PodcastOne’s unsecured convertible notes with an original issue discount of 10% (the “OID”) in the aggregate principal amount of $8.8 million (the “PC1 Notes”) to certain accredited investors and institutional investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), for gross proceeds of $8.0 million pursuant to the Subscription Agreements entered into with the Purchasers (the “Subscription Agreements”). In connection with the sale of the PC1 Notes, the Purchasers received warrants (the “PC1 Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares (the “PC1 Warrant Shares”) of PodcastOne’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The PC1 Notes were scheduled to mature one year from July 15, 2022, subject to a one-time three-month extension at PodcastOne’s election, and were subsequently extended to October 15, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). The PC1 Notes bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable on maturity. The PC1 Notes automatically convert into the securities of PodcastOne sold in a Qualified Financing (an initial public offering of PodcastOne’s securities from which PodcastOne’s trading market at the closing of such offering is a national securities exchange) or Qualified Event (a direct listing of PodcastOne’s securities on a national securities exchange), as applicable, upon the closing of a Qualified Financing or Qualified Event, as applicable, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price equal to $60.0 million divided by the aggregate number of shares of PodcastOne’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified Financing or "Qualified Event", as applicable (assuming full conversion or exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities of PodcastOne then outstanding, subject to certain exceptions), and (ii) 70% of the offering price of the shares (or whole units, as applicable) in the Qualified Financing or 70% of the initial listing price of the shares on a national securities exchange in the Qualified Event, as applicable. Each holder of the PC1 Notes (other than the Company) could at such holder’s option require PodcastOne to redeem up to 45% of the principal amount of such holder’s PC1 Notes (together with accrued interest thereon, but excluding the OID), in aggregate up to $3,000,000 for all of the PC1 Notes (other than those held by the Company), immediately prior to the completion of a Qualified Financing or a Qualified Event, as applicable, with such redemption to have been made pro rata to the redeeming holders of the PC1 Notes (the “Optional Redemption”).

The Company also agreed (i) not to effect a Qualified Financing or a Qualified Event, as applicable, unless immediately following such event the Company owns no less than 66% of PodcastOne’s equity, unless in either case otherwise permitted by the written consent of the holders of the majority of the PC1 Notes (excluding the Company) (the “Majority Noteholders”) and the senior lender, as applicable, (ii) that until a Qualified Financing or a Qualified Event, as applicable, is consummated, the Company guaranteed the repayment of the PC1 Notes when due (other than the Bridge Notes issued to LiveOne) and any interest or other fees due thereunder, and (iii) that if PodcastOne has not consummated a Qualified Financing or a Qualified Event, as applicable, by February 15, 2023, March 15, 2023 or April 15, 2023, unless in either case permitted by the written consent of the Majority Noteholders, PodcastOne was required to redeem $1,000,000 of the then outstanding PC1 Notes (other than the PC1 Notes issued to the Company) by the tenth calendar day of each month immediately following such respective date, up to an aggregate redemption of $3,000,000 over the course of such three months, each of which shall be distributed to the holders of the Bridge Notes (other than LiveOne) on a prorated basis (the “Early Redemption”).

PodcastOne further agreed to register the shares of its common stock issuable upon conversion of the PC1 Notes and exercise of the PC1 Warrants in connection with a Qualified Financing or a Qualified Event. If PodcastOne did not file such registration statement on or prior to April 15, 2023, PodcastOne would have been required to prepay $1,000,000 of the PC1 Notes pro rata to the PC1 Notes holders (other than the Company), and if PodcastOne did not file such registration statement on or prior to July 15, 2023, PodcastOne would have been required to prepay $2,000,000 of the PC1 Notes pro rata to the PC1 Notes holders (other than the Company) (the “Reg St Redemption”). PodcastOne was not required to redeem or repay more than a total of $3,000,000 of the principal amount of the PC1 Notes as a result of the Optional Redemption, the Early Redemption and/or the Reg St Redemption.

As part of the PC1 Bridge Loan, PodcastOne redeemed $3.0 million (excluding the OID) worth of PC1 Notes.

On September 8, 2023, PodcastOne completed a Qualified Event (its spin out from the Company to become a standard publicly trading company (the “Spin-Out”)) as a result of the Direct Listing. In connection with such completed Qualified Event, all of the remaining PC1 Notes (including interest thereunder) in the aggregate amount of approximately $7.02 million converted into approximately 2,341,000 shares of PodcastOne’s common stock.

Warrants

The PC1 Warrants were classified as liabilities as they represent an obligation to deliver a variable number of shares of common stock in the future and are therefore required to be initially and subsequently measured at fair value each reporting period. The Company recorded a warrant liability in the amount of $1.7 million (and reduced the proceeds allocated to the PC1 Notes accordingly). The fair value of the PC1 Warrant liability is remeasured each reporting period using a Black Scholes model, and the change in fair value is recorded as an adjustment to the PC1 Warrant liability with the unrealized gains or losses reflected in other income (expense). On September 8, 2023, as a result of the Direct Listing and the shares of PodcastOne's common stock becoming publicly traded, the warrant liability was reclassified to equity as the number and exercise price of the warrants was settled at 3,114,000 warrants with an exercise price of $3.00 per warrant per the warrant agreement.

Total unrealized gains of $0.6 million for warrant liabilities accounted for as derivatives have been recorded in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023, in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the warrant as of September 8, 2023 was $5.9 million and was classified as equity as the warrants were exercisable for a fixed price of $3.00. As of June 30, 2024, 3,114,000 warrants of PodcastOne remain outstanding and none have been exercised.

Redemption Features

The Company determined that the redemption features associated with the PC1 Bridge Loan meet the accounting definition of an embedded derivative that must be separated from the PC1 Bridge Loan and initially and subsequently be reported as a liability (“the Redemption Liability”) and measured at fair value. The fair value of the Redemption Liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model using three scenarios (1) redemption prior to the initial maturity date (65% weighted), (2) redemption at the initial maturity date (25% weighted) and (3) redemption after the initial maturity date (10% weighted).

The fair value of the redemption features is measured in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, using “Monte Carlo simulation” modeling, incorporating the following inputs for the following periods:

Simulations		100,000
Expected stock-price volatility		71.50	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.86	%
Conversion price	$	2.54
Stock price	$	2.64

The fair value of the Redemption Liability was $0.6 million at June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024 the Redemption Liability was eliminated as the PC1 Bridge Loan notes were converted into common stock, therefore the derivative component was cancelled. The $0.6 million change in the fair value of the Redemption Liability derivative as of June 30, 2023 was recorded as an unrealized gain and included in other income in the interim unaudited accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023

The resulting discount from the OID, underwriting fees, PC1 Warrants, and embedded Redemption Liability derivative of $2.8 million was amortized to interest expense through July 15, 2023, the term of the PC1 Bridge Loan, using the effective interest method. Interest expense resulting from the amortization of the discount for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.6 million.

Interest expense with respect to the PC1 Bridge Loan for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.1 million. There are no restrictive operational covenants associated with the PC1 Bridge Loan.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, PodcastOne redeemed $3.0 million of the PC1 Notes held by third-party holders (other than the Company). At June 30, 2024, all of the PC1 Notes and accrued interest therein have been converted in full in connection with the Spin-Out.

Note 9 — Senior Secured Line of Credit

On June 2, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the "Former Business Loan Agreement") with East West Bank (the “Senior Lender”), which provided for a revolving credit facility collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. In connection with the Former Business Loan Agreement, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with the Senior Lender and established the revolving line of credit in the amount of $7.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), maturing on June 2, 2023.

In July 2022, the Company extended the maturity date of its revolving credit facility to June 2024 and its variable interest rate was increased to 2.5%. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, plus 2.5%. The interest rate for the period ended June 30, 2024 was 11.00%.

The principal balance under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024 was $7.0 million. The Company recorded interest expense of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 the Company was in compliance with covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On September 8, 2023 and effective as of August 22, 2023, the Company entered into a new Business Loan Agreement (the “New Business Loan Agreement”) with the Senior Lender, to convert the Company’s revolving credit facility with the Senior Lender into an assets backed loan credit facility with the Senior Lender, which shall continue to be collateralized by a first lien on all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The New Business Loan Agreement provides the Company with borrowing capacity of up to the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Business Loan Agreement). Pursuant to the New Business Loan Agreement, the requirement that the Company and its related entities shall at all times maintain a certain minimum deposit with the Senior Lender was reduced from $8,000,000 to $5,000,000.

On May 31, 2024, the Company was granted an extension of 90 days on the maturity date, therefore the Revolving Credit Facility will mature in September 2024.

Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are subject to certain covenants as set forth in the New Business Loan Agreement and bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.50%, provided, that it shall not be less than 7.00%. The Company may prepay at any time without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed to the Senior Lender. The Business Loan Agreement includes various financial and other covenants with which the Company has to comply in order to maintain borrowing availability, including maintaining required minimum liquidity amount and Borrowing Base capacity.

In connection with the New Business Loan Agreement, the Company’s current Promissory Note, dated as of June 2, 2021, issued to the Senior Lender in the principal amount of $7,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”) continues in effect except as modified by the New Business Loan Agreement and the Change in Terms Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2023 entered into by the Company and the Senior Lender in connection with the New Business Loan Agreement.

The principal balance under the ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024 was $7.0 million, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants associated with the ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024.

Note 11 — Leases

The Company leases a space at a location under a non-cancellable operating lease with a remaining lease term of one year, which originally expired in fiscal year 2022 and was renewed for an additional year. On December 22, 2020, the Company acquired CPS which included the assumption of an operating lease for a 55,120 square foot light manufacturing facility located in Addison Illinois, which expired June 30, 2024.

The Company leases several office locations with lease terms that are less than 12 months or are on month to month terms. Rent expense for these leases totaled less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Operating leases with lease terms of greater than 12 months are capitalized in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rent expense for these operating leases totaled $0.1 million during each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2024, the Company is obligated under agreements with various music right holders and labels, festivals, clubs, events, concerts, artists, promoters, venues, music labels and publishers and other contractual obligations to make guaranteed payments as follows: $6.0 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, $0.6 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, $0.5 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 and $0.5 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028.

On a quarterly basis, the Company records the greater of the cumulative actual content acquisition costs incurred or the cumulative minimum guarantee based on forecasted usage for the minimum guarantee period. The minimum guarantee period of time is the period that the minimum guarantee relates to, as specified in each agreement, which may be annual or a longer period. The cumulative minimum guarantee, based on forecasted usage, considers factors such as listening hours, revenue, members, and other terms of each agreement that impact the Company’s expected attainment or recoupment of the minimum guarantees based on the relative attribution method.

Several of the Company’s content acquisition agreements also include provisions related to the royalty payments and structures of those agreements relative to other content licensing arrangements, which, if triggered, could cause the Company’s payments under those agreements to escalate, which included payments to be made in common stock. In addition, record labels, publishers and performing rights organizations with whom the Company has entered into direct license agreements have the right to audit the Company’s content acquisition payments, and any such audit could result in disputes over whether the Company has paid the proper content acquisition costs. However, as of June 30, 2024, the Company does not believe it is probable that these provisions of its agreements discussed above will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a certain music partner attributed to past royalties owed. The Company issued 800,000 shares of its common stock to the music partner and settled $0.4 million of accounts payable with the remaining value of the shares attributed to prepayment for future royalties. The fair value of the shares was determined to be $1.0 million based on the Company’s share price at the date the shares were issued. As of June 30, 2024, no amount was recorded as a prepaid asset related to this transaction in order to fund future amounts owed for royalties. As the agreement was not terminated by the music partner after one year, the Company issued to the music partner an additional 200,000 shares of its common stock as prepayment of future royalties during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 ("Fiscal 2024").

Legal Proceedings

F- 22

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded legal settlement expenses relating to potential claims arising in connection with litigation brought against the Company by certain third parties that were not material and were included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

On February 23, 2023, Cherri Bell filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles against the PodcastOne Sales, LiveOne and Mr. Kit Gray, the Company’s President. The complaint alleges several causes of action allegedly arising out of plaintiff’s employment with PodcastOne Sales, including claims for retaliation in violation of California Labor Code §1102.5, wrongful termination in violation of public policy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Plaintiff is seeking damages, which shall be determined at trial, if any, plus interest, attorneys’ fees and costs and other such relief as the court may award. The defendants have denied plaintiffs’ claims, and the Company believes that the allegations are without merit and that the defendants have strong defenses. The Company intends to vigorously defend all defendants against any liability to the plaintiff. The defendants have also filed a motion to compel arbitration in this matter. As of the date of this filing, while the Company has assessed that the likelihood of a loss, if any, is not probable, the outcome of this lawsuit is inherently uncertain and the potential range of loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings and other matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business activities. Many of these proceedings may be at the preliminary stages and/or seek an indeterminate amount of damages. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, such routine claims and lawsuits are not significant and we do not currently expect them to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Note 14 — Employee Benefit Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering all employees. Prior to March 31, 2019, only Slacker employees were eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan the first day of the calendar month following their date of hire. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of its employees up to a maximum of 100% of the participant’s elective deferral up to a maximum of 5% of the employees’ annual compensation. The Company’s matching contributions were not material to the financial statements for the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 15 — Stockholders’ Deficit

Authorized Common Stock and Authority to Create Preferred Stock

The Company has the authority to issue up to 510,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “preferred stock”).

The Company may issue shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Company’s board of directors and will have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors will have the power to increase or decrease the number of shares of preferred stock of any series after the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased, the shares constituting such decrease will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock.

It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until and unless the Company’s board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock; however, these effects may include: restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders.

Stock Repurchase Program

In December 2020, the Company announced that its board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to two million shares of its outstanding common stock from time to time. In November 2022, the Company announced that its board of directors has authorized it to expand its stock repurchase program by up to an additional $2,000,000 worth of shares of its common stock to be repurchased from time to time. The timing, price, and quantity of purchases under the program will be at the discretion of our management and will depend upon a variety of factors including share price, general and business market conditions, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, corporate and regulatory requirements, and alternative uses of capital. The program may be expanded, suspended, or discontinued by our board of directors at any time. Although our board of directors has authorized this stock repurchase program, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased by us, and we may discontinue purchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not warranted. We cannot guarantee that the program will be consummated, fully or all, or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The program could affect the trading price of our common stock and increase volatility, and any announcement of a termination of this program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock. In addition, this program could diminish our cash reserves. The Company purchased 402,593 and 694,315 shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase program for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 for a total of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at a Holder’s option into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $2.10 per share of common stock, bears a dividend of 12% per annum, is perpetual and has no maturity date. At the option of the Company, the dividend was to be paid in-kind for the first 12 months after April 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), and thereafter, the Holders had the option to select whether subsequent dividend payments shall be paid in kind or in cash; provided, that as long as any Series A Preferred Stock is held by the “Harvest Funds”, Trinad Capital shall receive the dividend solely in kind. The Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights, except as set forth in the Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law.

The Company may, at its option (the “Optional Redemption Right”), on or before the Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein), purchase up to $5,000,000 in aggregate of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Harvest Funds at a cash redemption price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Stated Value (the “Redemption Price”). The Company was required on or before August 3, 2024 (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), and in any event if prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date the Company consummated any financing transaction in which the Company, directly or indirectly, raised, in aggregate, gross proceeds of more than $20,000,000 of new capital, to purchase $5,000,000 in aggregate of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Harvest Funds (the “Mandatory Redemption Amount”) at the Redemption Price (the “Mandatory Redemption”). If the Optional Redemption Right was exercised up to the full $5,000,000 amount, the Mandatory Redemption requirement would be terminated; provided, that if the Optional Redemption Right was exercised in any amount less than $5,000,000, the Mandatory Redemption Amount would be reduced by the amount that the Optional Redemption Right has been elected and exercised. Without the prior express consent of the majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of such vote (the “Majority Holders”), the Company shall not authorize or issue any additional or other shares of its capital stock that are (i) of senior rank to the Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) of pari passu rank to the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Corporation.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company agreed that at any time that any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Harvest Funds are outstanding, (i) to directly or through its 100% owned subsidiaries (as applicable), to own on a fully diluted basis at least 66% of the total equity and voting rights of any and all classes of securities of each of PodcastOne, Slacker, PPV One, Inc., and LiveXLive Events, LLC subsidiaries of the Company, (ii) not to issue shares of its common stock or convertible equity securities at a price less than $2.10 per share (subject to certain exceptions), provided, that such consent shall not be required in connection with any merger, acquisition or other business combinations of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries with any unaffiliated third party, (iii) not to raise more than an aggregate of $20,000,000 of capital in one or more offerings, including without limitation, one or more equity or debt offerings or a combination thereof, on an accumulated basis commencing after February 3, 2023 (the “Qualified Offering”); provided, that such consent shall not be required for any equity financing of the Company at a price of $2.25 per share or above, and (iv) if after February 3, 2023 the Company distributes any of its assets or any shares of its common stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Exchange agreements) of any of its subsidiaries pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of its common stock, the Company shall distribute to the Holders its pro rata portion of any such distribution (calculated on an as-converted basis with respect to the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock) concurrently with the distribution to the then record holders of any class of its common stock (including an applicable distribution of shares of PodcastOne’s common stock to the Harvest Funds in connection with PodcastOne’s Spin-Out and special dividend of PodcastOne’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record), in each case without the Majority Holders’ prior written consent. Any breach of the aforementioned covenants shall constitute a material breach, which if uncured, shall result in the issuance of an aggregate of 56,473 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (the “Default Shares”) to the Holders for each five trading days (or pro rata thereof) after the date of the breach; provided, that if such breach is cured within the applicable cure period, no Default Shares shall be issued.

Table of Contents

In accordance with ASC 480, the Company classified $5.0 million of its Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity due to the Company’s obligation to redeem $5.0 million of the Series A Preferred Stock on or before 18 months after issuance for cash, which also contains a substantive conversion feature. The redemption feature was not deemed to be closely and clearly related to the equity-type host instrument. Accordingly, it was accounted for as a liability at inception based on its fair value of $0.2 million with subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings.

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into Letter Agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with (i) Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, Ltd. (“HSCPM”), (ii) Harvest Small Cap Partners, L.P. (“HSCP” and together with HSCPM, the “Harvest Funds”), and (iii) Trinad Capital Master Fund Ltd., a fund controlled by Mr. Ellin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, director and principal stockholder (“Trinad Capital” and collectively with the Harvest Funds, the “Holders”), the holders of the Company’s Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), with a stated value of $1,000 per share. Pursuant to the Agreements (i) the Holders converted approximately $11.4 million worth of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $2.10 per share, as follows: HSCPM converted 5,602.09 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 2,667,664 shares of the Company’s common stock, HSCP converted 2,397.91 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 1,141,860 shares of the Company’s common stock, and Trinad Capital converted 3,395.09 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 1,616,709 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Shares”), and (ii) HSCPM, HSCP and Trinad Capital received 910,340, 389,660 and 535,399 three-year warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock exercisable at a price of $2.10 per share (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company accounted for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock as a Redemption and extinguished $5.0 million of mezzanine equity and $6.4 million of permanent equity. In addition the Company recorded the fair value of the common stock issued in the amount of $10.0 million and the fair value of the common stock warrants of $1.6 million to equity in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The derivative associated with the mezzanine equity was extinguished and a gain was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024 in the amount of $0.6 million. The difference between the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock extinguished, and the fair value of the common stock and common stock warrants issued was recorded as a deemed dividend in the amount of $0.3 million.

The change in fair value of the embedded derivative included in the statement of earnings was a loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

In accordance with ASC 480, the Company classified $16.2 million of the Series A Preferred Stock as permanent equity in the financial statements as it was not subject to mandatory redemption at the option of the holder. The Company concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock is more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument, therefore the conversion features associated with the Series A preferred stock classified as permanent equity were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument and not a derivative under ASC 815. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock was not accreted to the redemption amount in effect on the balance sheet date.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends payable at a rate per annum of 12% of the Series A Stated Value. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued 378 and no shares of its Series A Preferred Stock as a dividend in accordance with terms of the Certificate of Designation.

2016 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2016 Plan”) which reserved a total of 12,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance. On September 17, 2020, our stockholders approved the amendment to the 2016 Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the plan by 5,000,000 shares increasing the total up to 17,600,000 shares which the Company formally increased on June 30, 2021. Incentive awards authorized under the 2016 Plan include, but are not limited to, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and stock appreciation rights. If an incentive award granted under the 2016 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to the Company in connection with the exercise of an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2016 Plan.

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $1.7 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total tax benefit recognized related to share-based compensation expense was none for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

PodcastOne 2022 Equity Plan

On December 15, 2022, the PodcastOne’s board of directors and the Company as the sole stockholder, through its wholly owned subsidiary, LiveXLive PodcastOne, Inc., approved PodcastOne’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) which reserved a total of 2,000,000 shares of PodcastOne’s common stock for issuance. Incentive awards authorized under the 2022 Plan include, but are not limited to, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and stock appreciation rights. If an incentive award granted under the 2022 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to PodcastOne in connection with the exercise of an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2022 Plan.

As of June 30, 2024, PodcastOne has granted incentive awards underlying 879,060 shares of PodcastOne's common stock under the 2022 Plan with a fair value of $3.64 per share. 40,625 of the awards had vested or have been forfeited as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, PodcastOne recognized $0.1 million of stock compensation for vested restricted stock units. Unrecognized compensation costs for unvested PodcastOne restricted stock units issued to employees was $1.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average service period of 0.78 years.

Non- Controlling Interest

On September 8, 2023, the Company completed its spin out of PodcastOne from the Company with PodcastOne becoming a standalone publicly trading company (the "Spin-Out"), as a result 4.3 million shares of PodcastOne common stock were issued to holders outside of the Company resulting in a non-controlling interest in the company of 21.64%. The stock dividend of 4.3 million shares was a non-reciprocal transfer between PodcastOne and non-LiveOne shareholders. As a result, the transaction was recorded as a change in non-controlling interest under ASC 810, which resulted in an increase to non-controlling interest of $ $1.5 million. Subsequent to the Spin-Out, PodcastOne issued an additional 3.2 million shares to non-LVO holders primarily from the conversion of the PC1 Bridge Loan which resulted in a non-controlling interest of 26.50%, resulting in an increase of $2.5 million to non-controlling interest within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' deficit and mezzanine equity during the year ended March 31, 2024. In addition, as a result of the completion of the Spin-Out and the PodcastOne shares being publicly traded, the variability in the terms of the warrants issued with the PC1 Bridge Loan was resolved so that the warrants issued in PodcastOne common stock were reclassified to equity and classified within non-controlling interest in the amount of $5.9 million during the year ended March 31, 2024. The Company had a non-controlling interest of 28.0% as of June 30, 2024.

Note 16 — Business Segments and Geographic Reporting

The Company determined its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”).

Table of Contents

Beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, management has determined that the Company has three operating segments (PodcastOne, Slacker and Media Group). The Audio Group consist of the Company's PodcastOne and Slacker subsidiaries and the Media Group consist of the Company's remaining subsidiaries. As a result of the Spin-Out of PodcastOne, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) began to make decisions and allocate resources based on three operating segments of the business (PodcastOne, Slacker and Media group). The Company’s reporting segments reflects the manner in which its CODM reviews results and allocates resources. The CODM reviews operating segment performance exclusive of share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, and other expenses (including legal fees, expenses, and accruals) related to acquisitions, associated integration activities, and certain other non-cash charges. As a result, the segment information for the prior periods has been recast to conform with the current period presentation.

The Company’s three operating segments are also consistent with its internal organizational structure, which is the way the Company assesses operating performance and allocates resources.

Customers

The Company has one external customer that accounts for more than 10% of its revenue and accounts receivable. Such original equipment manufacturer (the “OEM”) provides premium Slacker service in its new vehicles. Total revenues from the OEM were $17.5 million and $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total receivables from the OEM were 35% and 29% of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Segment and Geographic Information

The Company’s operations are based in the United States. All material revenues of the Company are derived from the United States. All long-lived assets of the Company are located in the United States, of which $0.3 million resides in PodcastOne, $3.0 million in Slacker and $0.4 million is attributed to our Media Operations.

We manage our working capital on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, segment assets are not reported to, or used by, our management to allocate resources to or assess performance of our segments, and therefore, total segment assets and related depreciation and amortization have not been presented.

The following table presents the results of operations for our reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Overview of the Company

We are a pioneer in the acquisition, distribution and monetization of live music, Internet radio, podcasting and music-related streaming and video content. Our principal operations and decision-making functions are located in North America. We manage and report our businesses as a single operating segment. Our senior management regularly reviews our operating results, principally to make decisions about how we allocate our resources and to measure our segment and consolidated operating performance. In prior fiscal years we generated a majority of our revenue primarily through membership services from our streaming radio and music services and to a lesser extent, through advertising and licensing across our music platform. In the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, we began generating ticketing, sponsorship and promotion-related revenue from live music events through our February 2020 acquisition of React Presents. In May 2020, we launched a new pay-per-view (“PPV”) offering enabling new forms of artist revenue including digital tickets, tipping, digital meet and greets, merchandise sales and sponsorship. In July 2020, we entered the podcasting business with the acquisition of PodcastOne and in December 2020, we entered the merchandising business with the acquisition of CPS. Through the operations of our DayOne Music Publishing, Drumify and Splitmind subsidiaries, we operate our music publishing and artist and brand development businesses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we reported revenue of $33.1 million and $27.8 million, respectively. We have one customer that accounted for more than 10% of its revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The customer is an original equipment manufacturer (the “OEM”) who provides premium Slacker service in all of their new vehicles. In the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, total revenue from the OEM was $17.5 million and $13.3 million, respectively.

Key Corporate Developments for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

We ended the June 30, 2024 quarter with approximately 2,900,000 paid members on our music platform, up from approximately 2,300,000 at June 30, 2023, representing 44% annual growth. Included in the total number of paid members for the reported periods are certain members which are the subject of a contractual dispute. We are currently not recognizing revenue related to these members.

Basis of Presentation

The following discussion and analysis of our business and results of operations and our financial conditions is presented on a consolidated basis. In addition, a brief description is provided of significant transactions and events that have an impact on the comparability of the results being analyzed.

Opportunities, Challenges and Risks

During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we derived 57% of our revenue from paid memberships and the remainder from advertising, ticketing, sponsorship, merchandising and licensing. Our revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 was comprised of 57% from paid members, 40% from advertising and 3% from merchandise.

We believe our operating results and performance are, and will continue to be, driven by various factors that affect the music industry. Our ability to attract, grow and retain users to our platform is highly sensitive to rapidly changing public music preferences and technology and is dependent on our ability to maintain the attractiveness of our platform, content and reputation to our customers. Beyond fiscal year 2024, the future revenue and operating growth across our music platform will rely heavily on our ability to grow our member base in a cost effective manner, continue to develop and deploy quality and innovative new music services, provide unique and attractive content to our customers, continue to grow the number of listeners on our platform and live music festivals we stream, grow and retain customers and secure sponsorships to facilitate future revenue growth from advertising and e-commerce across our platform.

As our music platform continues to evolve, we believe there are opportunities to expand our services by adding more content in a greater variety of formats such as podcasts and video podcasts, extending our distribution to include pay television, OTT and social channels, deploying new services for our members, artist merchandise and live music event ticket sales, and licensing user data across our platform. Our acquisitions of PodcastOne, CPS and Gramophone are reflective of our flywheel operating model. Conversely, the evolution of technology presents an inherent risk to our business. Today, we see large opportunities to expand our music services within North America and other parts of the world where we will need to make substantial investments to improve our current service offerings. As a result, and during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, we will continue to invest in product and engineering to further develop our future music apps and services, and we expect to continue making significant product development investments to our existing technology solutions over the next 12 to 24 months to address these opportunities.

As our platform matures, we also expect our Contribution Margins*, adjusted earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)* and Adjusted EBITDA Margins* to improve in the near and long term, which are non-GAAP measures as defined in section following below titled, “Non-GAAP Measures”. Historically, our live events business has not generated enough direct revenue to cover the costs to produce such events, and as a result generated negative Contribution Margins*, Adjusted EBITDA*, Adjusted EBITDA Margins* and operating losses. Historically, we produced and digitally distributed the live music performances of many of these large global music events to fans all around the world.

Growth in our music services is also dependent upon the number of customers that use and pay for our services, the attractiveness of our music platform to sponsors and advertisers and our ability to negotiate favorable economic terms with music labels, publishers, artists and/or festival owners, and the number of consumers who use our services. Growth in our margins is heavily dependent on our ability to grow the membership base in a cost-efficient manner, coupled with the managing the costs associated with implementing and operating our services, including the costs of licensing music with the music labels, producing, streaming and distributing video and audio content and sourcing and distributing personalized products and gifts. Our ability to attract and retain new and existing customers will be highly dependent on our abilities to implement and continually improve upon our technology and services on a timely basis and continually improve our network and operations as technology changes and as we experience increased network capacity constraints as we continue to grow.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all material amounts of our revenue were derived from customers located in the United States and moreover, one of our customers accounted for 49% and 42% of our consolidated revenue, respectively. This significant concentration of revenue from one customer poses risks to our operating results, and any change in the means this customer utilizes our services beyond June 30, 2024 could cause our revenue to fluctuate significantly.

Moreover, and with the addition of PodcastOne and CPS in July and December 2020, respectively, the percentage of this customer revenue concentration increased and is expected to continue in the future. In the long term, we plan to expand our business internationally in places such as Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America, and as a result will continue to incur significant incremental upfront expenses associated with these growth opportunities.

Amortization of intangible assets increased by $0.4 million, or 141%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase can be attributed to the addition of intangibles attributed to acquired podcast at PodcastOne.

Total Other Income (Expense)

Total other income (expense) was as follows (in thousands):

Total other income (expense) increased by $0.5 million, or 300%, to $0.7 million of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $0.2 million of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily driven by a reduction of the gain from changes in derivative liabilities of $1.1 million in the prior year period offset by a decrease in interest expense of $0.6 million due to the conversion of the Bridge Loan.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.4 million, which resulted from the Spin-Out of PodcastOne.

Revenue

Revenue increased $2.5 million, or 24%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increased advertising.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating loss increased by $1.6 million or 808%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as the increase in revenue was lower than the increase in operating expenses due to growing the business.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.7 million, or 187%, to $(0.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Revenue

Revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 41%, to $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $2.1 million for the three months June 30, 2023, primarily due to decrease in merchandising revenue due to a reduction in demand from both retail partners and our direct to consumer business.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating loss decreased by $0.4 million, or 26%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of a decrease in Contribution Margin coupled with the increase in expenses due to an increase in general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased by $0.6 million, or 47%, to a $(0.6) million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to a $(1.2) million loss for the three months June 30, 2023. This was largely due to the decrease in operating loss compared to the prior year.

Non-GAAP Measures

Contribution Margin

Contribution Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Revenue less Cost of Sales.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) before (a) non-cash GAAP purchase accounting adjustments for certain deferred revenue and costs, (b) legal, accounting and other professional fees directly attributable to acquisition activity, (c) employee severance payments and third party professional fees directly attributable to acquisition or corporate realignment activities, (d) certain non-recurring expenses associated with legal settlements or reserves for legal settlements in the period that pertain to historical matters that existed at acquired companies prior to their purchase date, (e) depreciation and amortization (including goodwill impairment, if any), and (f) certain stock-based compensation expense. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of our operating segment. We believe that information about Adjusted EBITDA assists investors by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of our business separate from non-operational factors that affect net income (loss), thus providing insights into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain amortizing assets used in generating revenue in our business. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, this measure may vary among other companies; thus, Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash balances in the amount of $6.3 million, which primarily are invested in cash in banking institutions in the U.S. The vast majority of our cash proceeds were received as a result of our operations, incurrence of debt, the issuance of convertible notes and public offerings of our common shares. As of June 30, 2024, we have a senior secured line of credit of $7.0 million, the Capchase Loan (as defined below) of $1.2 million and an SBA loan balance of $0.1 million.

As reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we have a history of losses and incurred a net loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and had a working capital deficiency of $22.5 million as of June 30, 2024. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our strategy and on our ability to raise additional funds through the sale of equity and/or debt securities via public and/or private offerings.

Our long-term ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to increase revenue, reduce costs, achieve a satisfactory level of profitable operations, and obtain additional sources of suitable and adequate financing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent its ability to further develop and execute on our business plan. We may also have to reduce certain overhead costs through the reduction of salaries and other means and settle liabilities through negotiation. There can be no assurance that management’s attempts at any or all of these endeavors will be successful.

Sources of Liquidity

In July 2022, PodcastOne completed a private placement offering (the “PC1 Bridge Loan”) of its unsecured convertible notes with an original issue discount of 10% (the “OID”) in the aggregate principal amount of $8.8 million (the “PC1 Notes”) to certain accredited investors and institutional investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), for gross proceeds of $8,035,000 pursuant to the Subscription Agreements entered into with the Purchasers. In connection with the sale of the PC1 Notes, the Purchasers received warrants (the “PC1 Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of PodcastOne’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (See Note 8 – PodcastOne Bridge Loan). As part of the PC1 Bridge Loan, we purchased $3,000,000 (excluding the OID) worth of PC1 Notes. As of June 30, 2024 all of the PC1 Bridge Loan has been converted into common stock of PodcastOne.

In August 2023, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Capchase Inc. (“Capchase”) pursuant to which we borrowed $1.7 million to further develop and acquire certain podcasts acquired by PodcastOne and for general working capital (the "Capchase Loan"). The Capchase Loan is subordinated to the ABL Credit Facility and bears an interest rate of 9%, which is included in the monthly amortization payments of approximately $73,100, with the final amortization payment due on February 4, 2026. (See Note 7 – Notes Payable).

Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by our cash-based investments in our operations, including acquiring live music events and festivals rights, our working capital, and corporate infrastructure to support our ability to generate revenue and conduct operations through cost of services, product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative activities. Cash used in investing activities has historically been, and is expected to be, impacted significantly by our investments in business combinations, our platform, and our infrastructure and equipment for our business offerings, and sale of our investments. We expect to make additional strategic acquisitions to further grow our business, which may require significant investments, capital raising and/or acquisition of additional debt in the near and long term. Over the next twelve to eighteen months, our net use of our working capital could be substantially higher or lower depending on the number and timing of new live festivals and paid members that we add to our businesses.

Table of Contents

Subject to applicable limitations in the instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness, we may from time to time repurchase our debt, including the unsecured convertible notes, in the open market, through tender offers, through exchanges for debt or equity securities, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

In the future, we may utilize additional commercial financings, bonds, notes, debentures, lines of credit and term loans with a syndicate of commercial banks or other bank syndicates and/or issue equity securities (publicly or privately) for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and investing in our intangible assets, music equipment, platform and technologies. We may also use our current cash and cash equivalents to repurchase some or all of our unsecured convertible notes, and pay down our debt, in part or in full, subject to repayment limitation set forth in the credit agreement. Management plans to fund its operations over the next twelve months through the combination of improved operating results, spending rationalization, and the ability to access sources of capital such as through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. We filed a new universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “New Shelf S-3”) with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 17, 2022. Under the New Shelf S-3, we have the ability to raise up to $150.0 million in cash from the sale of our equity, debt and/or other financial instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Table of Contents

Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Inherent limitations to any system of disclosure controls and procedures include, but are not limited to, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of such controls by one or more persons. In addition, we have designed our system of controls based on certain assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, about the likelihood of future events, and our system of controls may therefore not achieve its desired objectives under all possible future events.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company remediated the material weakness identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 1, 2024. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting, during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CEO and CFO Certifications

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report are the Certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are from time to time, party to various legal proceedings arising out of our business. Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and are incorporated herein by reference. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We have set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2024 Form 10-K, risk factors relating to our business and industry, our acquisition strategy, our company, our subsidiaries, our technology and intellectual property, and our common stock. Readers of this Quarterly Report are referred to such Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2024 Form 10-K for a more complete understanding of risks concerning us. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since those published in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We rely on one key customer for a substantial percentage of our revenue. The loss of our largest customer or the significant reduction of business or growth of business from our largest customer could significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is dependent, and we believe that it will continue to depend, on our customer relationship with Tesla, which accounted for 53% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 48% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our existing agreement with Tesla governs our music services to its car user base in North America, including our audio music streaming services. If we fail to maintain certain minimum service level requirements related to our service with Tesla or other obligations related to our technology or services, Tesla may terminate our agreement to provide them with such service. Tesla may also terminate our agreement for convenience at any time. If Tesla terminates our agreement, requires us to renegotiate the terms of our existing agreement or we are unable to renew such agreement on mutually agreeable terms, no longer makes our music services available to Tesla’s car user base, becomes a native music service provider, replaces our music services with one or more of our competitors and/or we experience a significant reduction of business from Tesla, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

In addition, a significant amount of the membership revenue we generate from Tesla is indirectly subsidized by Tesla to its customers, which Tesla is not committed to carry indefinitely, including the ability to make available, terminate and/or change our music services for convenience at any time. Should our membership revenue services no longer be subsidized by and/or made available by Tesla to its customers or if Tesla reclassifies or renegotiates with us the definition of a paid member or demands credit for past members that no longer meet such requirement, there can be no assurance that we will continue to maintain the same number of paid members or receive the same levels of membership service revenue and membership revenue may substantially fluctuate accordingly. There is no assurance that we would be able to replace Tesla or lost business with Tesla with one or more customers that generate comparable revenue. Furthermore, there could be no assurance that our revenue from Tesla continues to grow at the same rate or at all. Any revenue growth will depend on our success in growing such customer’s revenues on our platform and expanding our customer base to include additional customers.

Table of Contents

Tesla has also integrated Spotify Premium to the car’s in-dash touchscreen for its Model S, Model X and Model 3 vehicles. Tesla owners now have access to our music streaming services, Spotify and TuneIn natively. There is no assurance that our music streaming services will be available in every current and/or future Tesla model. Furthermore, our current and future competitors like Spotify, Apple Music, Tesla (if it becomes a native music service provider) and others may have more well-established brand recognition, more established relationships with, and superior access to content providers and other industry stakeholders, greater financial, technical and other resources, more sophisticated technologies or more experience in the markets in which we compete. If we are unable to compete successfully for users against our competitors by maintaining and increasing our presence and visibility, the number of users of our network may fail to increase as expected or decline and our advertising sales, membership fees and other revenue streams will suffer.

In addition, we have derived, and we believe that we will continue to derive, a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of other customers. Any revenue growth will depend on our success in growing our customers’ revenues on our platform and expanding our customer base to include additional customers. If we were to lose one or more of our key customers, there is no assurance that we would be able to replace such customers or lost business with new customers that generate comparable revenue, which would significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have incurred significant operating and net losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

As reflected in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein, we have a history of losses, incurred significant operating and net losses in each year since our inception, including net losses of $1.6 million and $13.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 million and $6.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $240.9 million and a working capital of $22.5 million.

We expect to continue to incur substantial and increased expenses as we continue to execute our business approach, including expanding and developing our content and platform and potentially making other accretive acquisitions, and anticipate incurring additional losses until such time that we can generate significant increases to our revenues, and/or reduce our operating costs and losses. To date, we have financed our operations exclusively through the sale of equity and/or securities (including convertible securities), and after PodcastOne’s acquisition by us on July 1, 2020, through our sale of PodcastOne’s and our equity and/or debt securities (including convertible securities). The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future expenditures and our ability to significantly grow our business and increase our revenues. We expect to continue to incur substantial and increased expenses as we grow our business. We also expect a continued increase in our expenses associated with our operations as a publicly-traded company. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of other reasons, including unsuccessful acquisitions, costs of integrating new businesses, expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown events. As a result of the foregoing, we expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a growing company, the difficulties that may be encountered with integrating acquired companies and the highly competitive environment in which we operate. For example, while several companies have been successful in the digital music streaming industry and the online video streaming industry, companies have had no or limited success in operating a premium Internet network devoted to live music and music-related video content. We cannot assure you that our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient revenue to fully meet our expenses and support our anticipated activities.

Our ability to meet our total liabilities of $58.2 million as of June 30, 2024, and to continue as a going concern, is dependent on our ability to increase revenue, reduce costs, achieve a satisfactory level of profitable operations, obtain additional sources of suitable and adequate financing and further develop and execute on our business plan. We may never achieve profitability, and even if we do, we may not be able to sustain being profitable. As a result of the going concern uncertainty, there is an increased risk that you could lose the entire amount of your investment in our company, which assumes the realization of our assets and the satisfaction of our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

We may be subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology

Recent technological advances in AI and machine learning technology may pose risks to us. Our use of AI could give rise to legal or regulatory action, create liabilities, or materially harm our business. While we aim to develop and use AI and machine learning technology responsibly and attempt to mitigate ethical and legal issues presented by its use, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues before they arise. Further, as the technology is rapidly evolving, costs and obligations could be imposed on us to comply with new regulations.

We also could be exposed to the risks of machine learning technology if third-party service providers or any counterparties, whether or not known to us, also use machine learning technology in their business activities. We will not be in a position to control the use of such technology in third-party products or services. Use by third-party service providers could give rise to issues pertaining to data privacy, data protection, and intellectual property considerations.

Increased data protection regulation may result in increased complexities and risk in connection with the operation of our business and our products.

Our business is highly dependent on information systems and technology. The costs related to cyber or other security threats or disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Cybersecurity has become a priority for regulators in the U.S. and around the world. Recently, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K and periodic disclosure of a registrant’s cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance in annual reports. The rules became effective beginning with annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2023, and beginning with Form 8-Ks on December 18, 2023. The SEC has also particularly focused on cybersecurity, and we expect increased scrutiny of our policies and systems designed to manage our cybersecurity risks and our related disclosures as a result. We also expect to face increased costs to comply with the new SEC rules, including increased costs for cybersecurity training and management. The SEC has indicated in recent periods that one of its examination priorities for the Division of Examinations is to continue to examine cybersecurity procedures and controls, including testing the implementation of these procedures and controls.

There may be substantial financial penalties or fines for breach of privacy laws (which may include insufficient security for our personal or other sensitive information). Non-compliance with any applicable privacy or data security laws represents a serious risk to our business. Some jurisdictions have also enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal information. Breaches in security could potentially jeopardize our or our stockholders’ or counterparties’ confidential or other information processed and stored in, or transmitted through, our computer systems and networks (or those of our third-party vendors), or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our or our stockholders’ or our counterparties’ or third parties’ operations, which could result in significant losses, increased costs, disruption of our business, liability to our stockholders and other counterparties, fines or penalties, litigation, regulatory intervention or reputational damage, which could also lead to loss of stockholders.

Finally, there has been significant evolution and developments in the use of AI technologies. We cannot fully determine the impact or cybersecurity risk of such evolving technology to our business at this time.

If we do not respond to technological innovations or changes or upgrade our technology systems, our growth prospects and results of operations could be adversely affected.

To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the functionality, features and security of our technology infrastructure. Infrastructure upgrades may require significant capital investment outside of the normal course of business. In the future, we will likely need to improve and upgrade our technology, database systems and network infrastructure to allow our business to grow in both size and scope. Without such improvements, our operations might suffer from unanticipated system disruptions, slow performance or unreliable service levels, any of which could negatively affect our ability to provide rapid customer service. We may face significant delays in introducing new services or developing new technologies. Moreover, if we do not keep pace with the rapid innovations and changes taking place in information technology in our industry, we could be at a competitive disadvantage. Further, the rapid dissemination and increasing transparency of information, particularly for public companies, increases the risks to our business that could result from negative media or announcements about ethics lapses, improper behavior or other operational problems, which could lead clients to terminate or reduce their relationships with us. If competitors introduce new products and services using new technologies, our proprietary technology and systems may become less competitive, and our business may be harmed. In addition, the expansion and improvement of our systems and infrastructure may require us to commit substantial financial, operational and technical resources, with no assurance that our business will improve.

Risks Related to Our Company

We may not have the ability to repay the amounts then due under our senior ABL Credit Facility at maturity.

At maturity, the entire outstanding principal amount of our ABL Credit Facility and the Capchase Loan, will become due and payable by us. As of June 30, 2024, $0.5 million is due in fiscal 2025, $0.6 million due in fiscal 2026, $0.1 million of our total indebtedness is due in fiscal 2027 and $0.1 million thereafter.

Our failure to repay any outstanding amount under our ABL Credit Facility would constitute a default under such facility. A default would increase the interest rate to the default rate under the ABL Credit Facility or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law until such amount is paid in full. A default under the ABL Credit Facility could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness, including the Capchase Loan. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay our ABL Credit Facility or make cash payments thereon. Furthermore, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any event of default, the senior lender shall have the right to, among other things, take possession of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and property constituting the collateral thereunder and the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the collateral.

If we do not comply with the provisions of the ABL Credit Facility and/or the Capchase Loan, our lenders may terminate their obligations to us, accelerate their debt and require us to repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder.

The ABL Credit Facility and the Capchase Loan contain provisions that limit our operating activities, including covenant relating to the requirement to maintain a certain amount cash (as provided in the senior credit facility loan agreement). If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the applicable lender may among other things, terminate its obligations thereunder, accelerate its debt and require us to repay all amounts thereunder. For example, on October 13, 2022, a judgement was ordered in favor of SoundExchange, Inc. (“SX”) against us and Slacker in the United States District Court Central District of California in the amount of approximately $9.8 million. On October 13, 2022, the court entered a judgment against the defendants for the amount of $9,765,396.70. In February 2023, we settled the dispute to repay the outstanding amount in the monthly payments subject to increase in the event we complete certain future financings. As of June 30, 2024, we owed $5.6 million to SX under the settlement agreement. Our debt agreements with the providers of the ABL Credit Facility and Capchase Loan contain a covenant that if a material adverse change occurs in our financial condition, or if the senior secured lender reasonably believes the prospect of payment or performance of their loan is materially impaired, the lender at its option may immediately accelerate its debt and require us to repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder. If for any reason we and Slacker fail to comply with the terms of our settlement agreement with SX, our senior credit facility provider, and which would then also allow Capchase to declare a default under their loan agreement with us, may declare an event of default and at its option may immediately accelerate its debt and require us to repay all outstanding amounts owed under the senior credit facility provider, which would materially adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition. As of June 30, 2024 we were incompliance with covenants under the ABL Credit Facility and the Capchase Loan.

Our debt agreements contain restrictive and financial covenants that may limit our operating flexibility, and our substantial indebtedness may limit cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness. Our total outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of June 30, 2024 was $8.6 million, net of fees and discounts. While we have certain restrictions and covenants with our current indebtedness, we could in the future incur additional indebtedness beyond such amount. Our existing debt agreements with ABL Credit Facility lender and the Capchase Loan lenders contain certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to merge with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, make certain investments, pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock, transfer or dispose of assets, or enter into various specified transactions. We therefore may not be able to engage in any of the foregoing transactions unless we obtain the consent of our senior secured lenders, terminate our existing debt agreements and/or repay the amount owed to such lenders. Our debt agreements also contain certain covenants, including maintaining a minimum cash amount at all times and are secured by substantially all of our assets. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow or sales to pay the principal and interest owed under our debt agreements or to satisfy all of the covenants. We and/or our subsidiaries may also incur significant additional indebtedness in the future.

Table of Contents

Our substantial debt combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments could have other significant adverse consequences, including:

●

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to the payment of interest on, and principal of, our debt, which will reduce the amounts available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts and other general corporate purposes;

●

increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and market conditions;

●

obligating us to restrictive covenants that may reduce our ability to take certain corporate actions or obtain further debt or equity financing;

●

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; and

●

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or better debt servicing options.

We intend to satisfy our current and future debt service obligations with our existing cash and cash equivalents and funds from external sources, including equity and/or debt financing. However, we may not have sufficient funds or may be unable to arrange for additional financing to pay the amounts due under our existing debt. Funds from external sources may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In the event of an acceleration of amounts due under our debt instruments as a result of an event of default, including upon the occurrence of an event that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, properties, assets or condition or a failure to pay any amount due, we may not have sufficient funds or may be unable to arrange for additional financing to repay our indebtedness or to make any accelerated payments.

We depend upon third-party licenses for sound recordings and musical compositions and other content and an adverse change to, loss of, or claim that we do not hold any necessary licenses may materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

To secure the rights to stream sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied therein, we enter into license agreements to obtain licenses from rights holders such as record labels, aggregators, artists, music publishers, performing rights organizations, collecting societies and other copyright owners or their agents, and pay substantial royalties or other consideration to such parties or their agents around the world. Though we work diligently in our efforts to obtain all necessary licenses to stream sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied therein, there is no guarantee that the licenses available to us now will continue to be available in the future at rates and on terms that are favorable or commercially reasonable or at all. The terms of these licenses, including the royalty rates that we are required to pay pursuant to them, may change as a result of changes in our bargaining power, changes in the industry, changes in the laws and regulations, or for other reasons. Increases in royalty rates or changes to other terms of these licenses may materially impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We enter into license agreements to obtain rights to stream sound recordings, including from the major record labels that hold the rights to stream a significant number of sound recordings, such as Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and SX, as well as others. If we fail to obtain these licenses, the size and quality of its catalog may be materially impacted and its business, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed.

Table of Contents

We generally obtain licenses for two types of rights with respect to musical compositions: mechanical rights and public performance rights. With respect to mechanical rights, for example, in the United States, the rates we pay are, to a significant degree, a function of a ratemaking proceeding conducted by an administrative agency called the Copyright Royalty Board. The rates that the Copyright Royalty Board set apply both to compositions that we license under the compulsory license in Section 115 of the Copyright Act of 1976 (the “Copyright Act”), and to a number of direct licenses that we have with music publishers for U.S. rights, in which the applicable rate is generally pegged to the statutory rate set by the Copyright Royalty Board. The most recent proceeding before the Copyright Royalty Board (the “Phonorecords III Proceedings”) set the rates for the Section 115 compulsory license for calendar years 2018 to 2022. The Copyright Royalty Board issued its initial written determination on January 26, 2018. The rates set by the Copyright Royalty Board may still be modified if a party appeals the determination and are also subject to further change as part of future Copyright Royalty Board proceedings. If any such rate change increases, our sound recordings and musical compositions license costs may substantially increase and impact our ability to obtain content on pricing terms favorable to us, and it could negatively harm our business, operating results and financial condition and hinder our ability to provide interactive features in our services or cause one or more of our services not to be economically viable. Based on management’s estimates and forecasts for the next two fiscal years, we currently believe that the proposed rates will not materially impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. However, the proposed rates are based on a variety of factors and inputs which are difficult to predict in the long-term. If Slacker’s business does not perform as expected or if the rates are modified to be higher than the proposed rates, its content acquisition costs could increase and impact its ability to obtain content on pricing terms favorable to us, which could negatively harm Slacker’s business, operating results and financial condition and hinder its ability to provide interactive features in its services, or cause one or more of Slacker’s services not to be economically viable.

In the United States, public performance rights are generally obtained through intermediaries known as performing rights organizations (“PROs”), which negotiate blanket licenses with copyright users for the public performance of compositions in their repertory, collect royalties under such licenses, and distribute those royalties to copyright owners. The royalty rates available to Slacker today may not be available to it in the future. Licenses provided by two of these PROs, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (“ASCAP”) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”), cover the majority of the music we stream and are governed by consent decrees relating to decades old litigations. In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice indicated that it was formally reviewing the relevance and need of these consent decrees. Changes to the terms of or interpretation of these consent decrees up to and including the dissolution of the consent decrees, could affect our ability to obtain licenses from these PROs on reasonable terms, which could harm its business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, an increase in the number of compositions that must be licensed from PROs that are not subject to the consent decrees, or from copyright owners that have withdrawn public performance rights from the PROs, could likewise impede Slacker’s ability to license public performance rights on favorable terms. As of June 30, 2024, we owed $19.7 million in aggregate royalty payments to such PROs.

In other parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and Latin America, we obtain mechanical and performance licenses for musical compositions either through local collecting societies representing publishers or from publishers directly, or a combination thereof. We cannot guarantee that its licenses with collecting societies and its direct licenses with publishers provide full coverage for all of the musical compositions we make available to our users in such countries. In Asia and Latin America, we are seeing a trend of movement away from blanket licenses from copyright collectives, which is leading to a fragmented copyright licensing landscape. Publishers, songwriters, and other rights holders choosing not to be represented by collecting societies could adversely impact our ability to secure favorable licensing arrangements in connection with musical compositions that such rights holders own or control, including increasing the costs of licensing such musical compositions, or subjecting us to significant liability for copyright infringement.

With respect to podcasts and other non-music content, we produce or commission the content itself or obtain distribution rights directly from rights holders. In the former scenario, we employ various business models to create original content. In the latter scenario, we and/or PodcastOne negotiates license directly with individuals that enable creators to post content directly to our service after agreeing to comply with the applicable terms and conditions. We are dependent on those who provide content on our service complying with the terms and conditions of our license agreements as well as the PodcastOne Terms and Conditions of Use. However, we cannot guarantee that rights holders or content providers will comply with their obligations, and such failure to do so may materially impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Table of Contents

There also is no guarantee that we have all of the licenses we need to stream content, as the process of obtaining such licenses involves many rights holders, some of whom are unknown, and myriad complex legal issues across many jurisdictions, including open questions of law as to when and whether particular licenses are needed. Additionally, there is a risk that rights holders, creators, performers, writers and their agents, or societies, unions, guilds, or legislative or regulatory bodies will create or attempt to create new rights that could require us to enter into license agreements with, and pay royalties to, newly defined groups of rights holders, some of which may be difficult or impossible to identify.

Even when we can enter into license agreements with rights holders, we cannot guarantee that such agreements will continue to be renewed indefinitely. For example, from time to time, our license agreements with certain rights holders and/or their agents may expire while we negotiate their renewals and, per industry custom and practice, we may enter into brief (for example, month-, week-, or even days-long) extensions of those agreements or provisional licenses and/or continue to operate on an at will basis as if the license agreement had been extended, including by our continuing to make music available. During these periods, we may not have assurance of long-term access to such rights holders’ content, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and could lead to potential copyright infringement claims.

It also is possible that such agreements will never be renewed at all. The lack of renewal, or termination, of one or more of our license agreements, or the renewal of a license agreement on less favorable terms, also could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting during such periods. If we are unable to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis or prevent fraud could be impaired, and the market price of our securities may be negatively affected.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet PodcastOne’s reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by our Company conducted in connection with Section 404, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, if and when required, may reveal additional deficiencies in its internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to our consolidated financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. For our fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our management conducted an assessment of its disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that they were ineffective for each of such periods, due to the existence of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, our management identified a material weaknesses as follows: our management’s identification of and accounting for significant and unusual transactions, specifically accounting for debt. The material weakness around the completeness of amounts and disclosures and the classification between current and noncurrent liabilities was remediated during the year ended March 31, 2024. This material weakness was remediated in the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

In connection with preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023, our management identified material weaknesses in the following: our controls related to the preparation of the financial statements were not adequately designed to ensure the accuracy and completeness of amounts and disclosures and the classification between current and noncurrent liabilities; and our management’s identification of and accounting for significant and unusual transactions, specifically accounting for business combinations, including push down accounting. This material weakness was remediated during the year ended March 31, 2024.

If we are unable to establish and maintain proper and effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements.

Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock

Conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders, including holders who had previously converted their convertible notes, or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.

As of June 30, 2024, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into approximately 6.1 million shares of our common stock. The conversion of some or all of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock will dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. In addition, any sales in the public market of the shares of our common stock issuable upon such conversion and/or any anticipated conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Issuance of Unregistered Securities

Other than as set forth below and as reported in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, there have been no other sales or issuances of unregistered securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that were not registered under the Securities Act.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we issued 765,519 shares of our common stock valued at $1.6 million to various consultants. We valued these shares at prices between $1.75 and $1.86 per share, the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we issued 425,988 shares of our common stock valued at $0.6 million to various consultants. We valued these shares at prices between $0.89 and $1.29 per share, the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance.

We believe the offers, sales and issuances of the securities described above were made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and involved a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. Each of the recipients of securities in any transaction exempt from registration either received or had adequate access, through employment, business or other relationships, to information about us.
