As part of the Merger in 2013, the Company assumed certain liabilities
from a previous member of A Squared which has claimed certain liabilities totaling $925,000. The Company disputes the basis
for this liability. As of March 31, 2017, the Company believes that the statute of limitations applicable to the assertion
of any legal claim relating to the collection of these liabilities has expired and therefore believes this liability is uncollectible.
The Company is working with the counterparty to extinguish this liability. |

During
the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive three-year agreement with DADC to provide all CD, DVD
and Blu-ray replication, packaging and distribution to the Company’s direct customers. Under the terms of the long-term,
exclusive supply chain services agreement, the Company will order a minimum level of disk replication, packaging and distribution
services for its content across all physical media, including DVD, CD, and Blu-ray from DADC. As consideration for these
minimum order levels, the Company received a total of $1,500,000, $750,000 during the first quarter of 2014 and $750,000
during the first quarter of 2015. At the end of the term, the Company is obligated to repay a pro-rata portion of the
advance if it has not ordered a minimum number of DVD/CD units during the term.
On January
10, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment of our home entertainment Distribution Agreement with Sony pursuant to
which, among other things, Sony agreed to pay DADC $1,489,583, the amount which was owed and payable by us to DADC for
the disk replication, packaging and distribution services.
In connection
with such transaction, we issued Sony 301,231 shares of our Common Stock at $4.945 per share, Sony’s exclusive territory
for exercising its home entertainment distribution rights under the Distribution Agreement was extended from the United
States and Canada to worldwide, and the amount of advances subject to recoupment by Sony out of royalty payments that
would otherwise be due to us under the Distribution Agreement was increased by the amount of the payment to DADC.
