BUSINESS | NOTE 1. BUSINESS
Loop Media, Inc., a Nevada corporation (collectively, “Loop Media,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a multichannel digital video platform media company that uses marketing technology, or “MarTech,” to generate our revenue and offer our services. Our technology and vast library of videos and licensed content enable us to curate and distribute short-form videos to connected televisions (“CTV”) in out-of-home (“OOH”) dining, hospitality and retail establishments, convenience stores and other locations and venues to enable the operators of those locations to inform, entertain and engage their customers. Our technology also provides businesses the ability to promote and advertise their products via digital signage and provides third-party advertisers with a targeted marketing and promotional tool for their products and services. We also allow our business clients to access our service without advertisements by paying a monthly subscription fee. In the first and second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we continued to work toward the expansion of our subscription offerings, including a two-tier music video service offering, which included a “primary tier” consisting of fewer than 10 music video channels provided under a free ad-based service, and a “premium tier” of the full library of curated music video channels provided under a subscription service. We also provided a non-music subscription offering that included a number of live channels ranging from live sports events to news and culture offerings.
We offer hand-curated music video content licensed from major and independent record labels, including Universal Music Group (“Universal”), Sony Music Entertainment (“Sony”), and Warner Music Group (“Warner” and collectively with Universal and Sony, the “Music Labels”), as well as non-music video content. Our non-music video content is predominantly licensed or acquired from third parties, including action sports clips, drone and nature footage, trivia, news headlines, lifestyle channels and kid-friendly videos, as well as movie, television and video game trailers, among other content. We distribute our content and advertising inventory to digital screens located in OOH locations primarily through (i) our owned and operated platform (the “O&O Platform”) of Loop Media-designed “small-box” streaming Android media players (“Loop Players”) and legacy ScreenPlay (as defined below) computers and (ii) through screens (“Partner Screens”) on digital platforms owned and operated by third parties (each a “Partner Platform” and collectively, the “Partner Platforms,” and together with the O&O Platform, the “Loop Platform”).
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately 122,000 active Loop Players and Partner Screens across the Loop Platform, which included 21,035 quarterly active Loop Players (we refer to our quarterly active units herein as “QAUs”), across our O&O Platform, representing a decrease of 2,190 from the 23,225 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and approximately 101,000 Partner Screens across our Partner Platforms, representing an increase of approximately 41,000 Partner Screens from the approximately 60,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
We define an “active unit” as (i) an ad-supported Loop Player or digital out-of-home (“DOOH”) location using our ad- supported service through our “Loop for Business” application or using a DOOH venue-owned computer screening our content, that is online, used on our O&O Platform, playing content and has checked into the Loop Media analytics system at least once in the 90-day period ending on the date of measurement, or (ii) a DOOH location customer using our subscription service on our O&O Platform at any time during the 90-day period. We do not count toward our QAUs any Loop Players or screens used on our Partner Platform.
Liquidity and Management’s Plan
As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have incurred recurring losses resulting in an accumulated deficit. We anticipate further losses in the foreseeable future. We also had negative cash flows used in operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Our primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the sale of our common stock and debt and equity financing transactions. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient revenue and our ability to raise additional funds from equity investments and debt transactions while maintaining reduced spending levels. We continue to explore potential strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value and to evaluate potential financing opportunities.
