STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
NOTE 1 – GENERAL
Dolphin Entertainment, Inc.,
a Florida corporation (the “Company,” “Dolphin,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is
a leading independent entertainment marketing and premium content development company. Through its acquisitions of 42West LLC (“42West”),
The Door Marketing Group, LLC (“The Door”), Shore Fire Media, Ltd (“Shore Fire”), Viewpoint Computer Animation
Incorporated (“Viewpoint”), Be Social Public Relations, LLC (“Be Social”) and B/HI Communications, Inc. (“B/HI”),
the Company provides expert strategic marketing and publicity services throughout the United States of America (“U.S.”) to
virtually all of the major film studios and many of the leading streaming services, as well as to independent and digital content providers,
and A-list celebrity talent, including actors, directors, producers, celebrity chefs, social media influencers and recording artists.
The Company also provides strategic marketing publicity services and creative brand strategies for a wide variety of consumer brands,
including prime hotel and restaurant groups, throughout the U.S. Dolphin’s content production business is a long established, leading

films and digital programming primarily aimed at family and young adult markets.
Impact of COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World
Health Organization categorized a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it has spread throughout the U.S. The
pandemic has had and continues to have a significant effect on economic conditions in the United States, and continues to cause significant
uncertainties in the U.S. and global economies. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our business, operations and financial
results depends, and will continue to depend, on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict.
One of our subsidiaries operates
in the food and hospitality sector, which was negatively impacted by the orders to either suspend or reduce operations of restaurants
and hotels. Similarly, another subsidiary represents talent, such as actors, directors and producers, and revenues from these clients
was negatively impacted by the suspension of content production. The television and streaming consumption around the globe has increased
since the outbreak of COVID-19, as well as the demand for consumer products. Revenues from the marketing of these shows and products somewhat
offset the decrease in revenue from the sectors discussed above.
Depending on the extent and duration
of the pandemic and the related economic impacts, COVID-19 may continue to impact our business and financial results, as well as significant
judgements and estimates, including those related to goodwill and other asset impairments and allowances for doubtful accounts.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dolphin, and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, comprising Dolphin Films,
Inc. (“Dolphin Films”), Dolphin SB Productions LLC, Dolphin Max Steel Holdings, LLC, Dolphin JB Believe Financing, LLC, Dolphin
JOAT Productions, LLC, 42West, The Door, Viewpoint, Shore Fire, Be Social and B/HI. The Company applies the equity method of accounting
for its investments in entities for which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has the ability to exert
significant influence.
The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.
GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2022, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated
financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete
financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2021.
DOLPHIN ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2022 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial
statements relate to the estimates in the fair value of acquisitions, estimates in assumptions used to calculate the fair value of certain
liabilities, and impairment assessments for investment in capitalized production costs, goodwill and long-lived assets. Management bases
its estimates on historical experience and on other various assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Due to COVID-19 and the uncertainty
of the extent of the impacts related thereto, certain estimates and assumptions may require increased judgment. As events continue to
evolve and additional information becomes available, these estimates may change in future periods. It is difficult to predict what the
ongoing impact of the pandemic will be on future periods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In
October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract
Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business
combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment
terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1,
2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial
statements in connection with any future business combinations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued
new guidance on measurement of credit losses (ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”)
with subsequent amendments issued in November 2018 (ASU 2018-19) and April 2019 (ASU 2019-04). This update changes the accounting for
credit losses on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities and requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the
allowance for credit losses. It is applicable to trade accounts receivable. The guidance will be effective for the Company on January
1, 2023 with a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is
in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements
and disclosures.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have
been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the
Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
NOTE 2 – REVENUE
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company’s principal
geographic markets are within the U.S. The following is a description of the principal activities, by reportable segment, from which we
generate revenue. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 15.
Entertainment Publicity and Marketing
The Entertainment Publicity and
Marketing (“EPM”) segment generates revenue from diversified marketing services, including public relations, entertainment
and hospitality content marketing, strategic marketing consulting and content production of marketing materials. Within the EPM segment,
we typically identify one performance obligation, the delivery of professional publicity services, in which we typically act as the principal.
Fees are generally recognized on a straight-line or monthly basis, as the services are consumed by our clients, which approximates the
proportional performance on such contracts.
DOLPHIN ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2022 |
We also enter into management
agreements with a roster of social media influencers and are paid a percentage of the revenue earned by the social media influencer. Due
to the short-term nature of these contracts, the performance obligation is typically completed and revenue is recognized at a point in
time, typically the date of publication.
Content Production
The Content Production (“CPD”)
segment generates revenue from the production of original motion pictures and other digital content production. In the CPD segment, we
typically identify performance obligations depending on the type of service, which we generally act as the principal. Revenue from motion
pictures is recognized upon transfer of control of the licensing rights of the motion picture or web series to the customer. For minimum
guarantee licensing arrangements, the amount related to each performance obligation is recognized when the content is delivered, and the
window for exploitation right in that territory has begun, which is the point in time at which the customer is able to begin to use and
benefit from the content. For sales or usage-based royalty income, revenue is recognized starting at the exhibition date and is based
on the Company’s participation in the box office receipts of the theatrical exhibitor and the performance of the motion picture.
The revenues recorded by the
EPM and CPD segments is detailed below:

Contract Balances
Contract
assets are comprised of services provided for which consideration has not been received and are transferred to accounts receivable when
the right to payment becomes unconditional. Contract assets are presented within other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
Contract liabilities are recorded
when the Company receives advance payments from customers for public relations projects or as deposits for promotional or brand-support
video projects. Once the work is performed or the projects are delivered to the customer, the contract liabilities are deemed earned and
recorded as revenue. Advance payments received are generally for short duration and are recognized once the performance obligation of
the contract is met. Contract liabilities are presented within deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The
opening and closing balances of our contract asset and liability balances from contracts with customers as of March 31, 2022 and December
31, 2021 were as follows:

NOTE 3 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
As of March 31, 2022, the Company
has a balance of $20,021,357 of goodwill on its condensed consolidated balance sheet arising from the prior acquisitions of 42West, The
Door, Viewpoint, Shore Fire, Be Social and B/HI. All of the Company’s goodwill is related to the entertainment, publicity and marketing
segment. There were no changes in the carrying value of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The Company evaluates goodwill
in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include but are
not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse
action or assessment by a regulator. There were no triggering events noted during the three month period ended March 31, 2022 that would
require the Company to reassess goodwill for impairment outside of its regular annual impairment test.

NOTE 4 —ACQUISITIONS
B/HI Communications, Inc.
Effective January 1, 2021, the
Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of B/HI, a California corporation (the “B/HI Purchase”) pursuant
to a share purchase agreement (the “B/HI Share Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and Dean G. Bender and Janice L. Bender,
as co-trustees of the Bender Family Trust dated May 6, 2013 (collectively, the “B/HI Sellers). B/HI is an entertainment public relations
agency that specializes in corporate and product communications programs for interactive gaming, e-sports, entertainment content and consumer
product organizations.
The total consideration paid
to the B/HI Seller in respect to the B/HI Purchase is $0.8 million of shares of common stock based on a 30-day trailing trading average
closing price immediately prior to, but not including, the applicable payment date adjusted for working capital, cash targets and the
B/HI indebtedness as defined in the B/HI Share Purchase Agreement. During 2021, subsequent to the initial measurement, the B/HI Seller
achieved certain financial performance targets pursuant to the B/HI Purchase Agreement and has earned an additional $1.2 million of which
50% will be paid in cash and 50% will be paid in common stock during the second quarter of 2022. The common stock that will be issued
as part of the consideration has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Acquisition related costs for the B/HI purchase amounted to $22,907 and are included in acquisition costs in the consolidated statement
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The consolidated statement of operations includes revenues from B/HI amounting
to $608,432 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The measurement period of the BHI purchase ended January 1, 2022.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s non-financial
assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and intangible assets. The determination of our intangible fair
values includes several assumptions and inputs (Level 3) that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Management believes it has
made reasonable estimates and judgments concerning these risks and uncertainties. All other financial assets and liabilities are carried
at amortized cost.
The Company’s cash balances
are representative of their fair values as these balances are comprised of deposits available on demand. The carrying amounts of accounts
receivable, notes receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and other non-current liabilities are representative
of their fair values because of the short turnover of these instruments.

Convertible notes payable, at fair value
As of March 31, 2022, the Company
has one outstanding convertible note payable with a face value of $500,000 (the “March 4th Note”), which is accounted for
under the ASC 825-10-15-4 FVO election. Under the FVO election the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated
fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair
value adjustment is presented as a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements
of operations under the caption “change in fair value of convertible notes and derivative liabilities.”
The March 4th Note is measured
at fair value and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following is a reconciliation of the fair values from December

Contingent consideration
The Company records the fair
value of the contingent consideration liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Contingent Consideration”
and records changes to the liability against earnings or loss under the caption “Changes in fair value of contingent consideration”
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As discussed in Note 4, during
the year ended December 31, 2021, the B/HI seller met the conditions for payment of contingent consideration. As a result, the contingent
consideration has been recorded as the fair value of the payout, $1.3 million of which $0.6 million will be paid in cash and the remainder
in common stock based on a 30-day trailing trading average price on the day the common stock is issued. Subsequent to March 31, 2022,
on June 14, 2022, the Company issued 163,369 shares of common stock and on June 29, 2022, the Company paid $600,000 to settle the contingent
consideration to the B/HI seller.
For the contingent consideration
related to Be Social, the Company utilized a Monte Carlo Simulation model, which incorporates significant inputs that are not observable
in the market, and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The unobservable inputs utilized for measuring the fair
value of the contingent consideration reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would
use in valuing the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date. The Company determined the fair value by using the following key
inputs to the Monte Carlo Simulation Model:

NOTE 11 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
2021 Lincoln Park Transaction
On December 29, 2021, the Company
entered into a purchase agreement (the “LP 2021 Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “LP 2021
Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which the
Company could sell and issue to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park was obligated to purchase, up to $25,000,000 in value of its shares of
common stock from time to time over a 36-month period.
The
Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion, and subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common
stock on any business day (a “Regular Purchase”) , provided
that on such day the last closing sale price per-share of our common stock is not less than $1.00 as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The amount of a Regular Purchase may be increased under certain circumstances up to 75,000 shares if the closing price is not below $10.00,
and up to 100,000 shares if the closing price is not below $12.50, provided that Lincoln Park’s committed obligation for Regular
Purchases on any business day shall not exceed $2,000,000. In the event we purchase the full amount allowed for a Regular Purchase on
any given business day, we may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional amounts as accelerated and additional accelerated purchases.
The purchase price of shares of common stock related to the future funding will be based on the then prevailing market prices of such
shares at the time of sales as described in the LP 2021 Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the
LP 2021 Purchase Agreement, at the time the Company signed the LP 2021 Purchase Agreement and the LP 2021 Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company issued 51,827 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitment (“commitment shares”)
to purchase shares of our common stock under the LP 2021 Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Company issued an additional 37,019 commitment
shares on March 7, 2022. The commitment shares were recorded as an addition to equity for the issuance of the common stock and treated
as a reduction to equity as a cost of capital to be raised under the LP 2021 Purchase Agreement.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2022, excluding the additional commitment shares disclosed above, the Company sold 585,000 shares of common stock at prices
ranging between $3.47 and $5.15 pursuant to the LP 2021 Purchase Agreement and received proceeds of $2,515,350. Subsequent to March 31,
2022, the Company sold 450,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging between $3.75 and $4.60 pursuant to the LP 2021 Purchase Agreement
and received proceeds of $1,852,290. At March 31, 2022, an amount of $22.5 million remained available under the LP 2021 Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of LP 2021
Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park is currently not obligated to purchase shares of common stock from the Company because the Company no
longer has an effective shelf registration statement available to register the shares issuable to Lincoln Park.

Basic loss per share is computed
by dividing income or loss attributable to the shareholders of common stock (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share assume that any dilutive equity instruments, such
as put rights, convertible notes payable and warrants were exercised and outstanding common stock adjusted accordingly, if their effect
is dilutive.
DOLPHIN ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2022 |
One of the Company’s convertible
notes payable, the warrants and the Series C have clauses that entitle the holder to participate if dividends are declared to the common
stockholders as if the instruments had been converted into shares of common stock. As such, the Company uses the two-class method to compute
earnings per share and attribute a portion of the Company’s net income to these participating securities. These securities do not
contractually participate in losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a net loss and as such the two-class
method is not presented.
For the three months ended March
31, 2022, the convertible promissory notes, except for the convertible notes carried at fair value, were not included in diluted loss
per share because inclusion was considered to be anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended March
31, 2021, the convertible promissory notes and Put Rights were not included in diluted loss per share because inclusion was considered
to be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 16 — LEASES
The Company and its subsidiaries
are party to various office leases with terms expiring at different dates through December 2026. The amortizable life of the right-of-use
asset is limited by the expected lease term. Although certain leases include options to extend, the Company did not include these in the
right-of-use asset or lease liability calculations because it is not reasonably certain that the options will be executed.

income and expenses recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022
and 2021.
